It's modest, but has thrown up some nice fast horses for the Mcenerys in recent times.The 'foreignness' of his form is a problem and Arakan is a shocker for sure.https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/28595469/dick-turpin-to-national-stud?post_id=511517505#511517505I know why I'm uncomfortable with him, although I quite like the family.

He didnt make 30k as a yearling so doubt he's stunning but I could be wrong. Hannon / Doyles buy a lot of horses but with acclamations, paco boy, canford cliffs, Zebedee, Libourne Lad...not goihttps://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/28595469/dick-turpin-to-national-stud?post_id=511453523#511453523Cant see it myself.

He only ran 2nd in the 2000G because the owner rightly insisted on running there. Thru out his 3 year old campaign he had to play 2nd fiddle to CC at hannons so not sure how hannon and co.https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/28595469/dick-turpin-to-national-stud?post_id=511453087#511453087Whilst he was at hannons they hardly supported him did they.

Phil Cunningham has put plenty of mares in foal to Cockney Rebel in an attempt to support him. Do you really think the Doyles will support Dick Turpin to the point of dictating his future ?https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/28595469/dick-turpin-to-national-stud?post_id=511449335#511449335I don't understand the point on Dick Turpin's connections ?
