Did nobody else have any idea whatsoever these kind of shenanigans went on?If potential owners don't have trust in auction sales, prices will fall so it is right to clean things up. Of all of my purchases between 1980 and 2010, the ones that did well had one thing in common. They had run once or twice in ptp or in one casehttps://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/31564623/nothing-to-say-about-the-bloodstock-report?post_id=557848259#557848259If potential owners don't have trust in auction sales, prices will fall so it is right to clean things up.

Selling faulty goods is illegal in Britain. You sell a second hand car now without declaring any significant faults is illegal. Yer Ma, I take your point.https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/31564623/nothing-to-say-about-the-bloodstock-report?post_id=557847387#557847387Not sure BBC.

Selling stock with issues has and always will happen. Fraud / inducements / blackmail doesn't have to be part of the industry. The consequences of removing it would however be significantly lower medihttps://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/31564623/nothing-to-say-about-the-bloodstock-report?post_id=557845775#557845775Kinda missing the point on this thread so far.

To put it mildly.What appears to have happened to me wasnt illegal. However whether it should have been declared at the time of purchase or not is the issue. And frankly it should have been.https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/31564623/nothing-to-say-about-the-bloodstock-report?post_id=557829639#557829639That is very shady indeed sageform.

Cheap, shady completely unacceptable behavior.https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/31564623/nothing-to-say-about-the-bloodstock-report?post_id=557823267#557823267That's just disgraceful Sageform.

It dropped dead on the gallops. I only found out years later. He was a raced horse but should that make any difference?https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/31564623/nothing-to-say-about-the-bloodstock-report?post_id=557823211#557823211BBC, I also bought a horse at auction that had a serious internal operation that was not declared.

Let's just say there has apparently been a failure to disclose something which would not be obvious to veterinary inspection.https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/31564623/nothing-to-say-about-the-bloodstock-report?post_id=557820279#557820279Formtwist I cant go into specifics as this particular issue is currently under review by a multitude of authorities.

Yearlings are subject to re-examination of wind by a purchaser and returnable for any stable vice not declared existent before bidding.
