Dunguibs owners

* allegedly

oh yes... allegedly.

sick now i'd say

To be fair to them they must have been in a comfortable position to refuse it............

you can,t buy dreams sometimes

agree.......

terry - the champion hurdle may be 'a dream' now..

name a figure you think they were offered

400 gs? horse is not good enough ive known all along . ridiculoys price today against a machiiiiiiiiine

how could you say you knew the horse wasnt a machine,he hadnt been pressed til cheltenham so anything was possible

his jumping was never going to be adequate enough for him to do it at the top level. his engine its turnes out isnt good enough either . i still cant believe how he went off favourite today .

Must have turned down half a million easy, Wylie had an offer rejected.

didnt think his jumping was as bad on his last 2 starts,funnily enough the 2 races he has lost. hopefully go chasing next year

wonder if by next february we will have people urging them to go for the queen mother instead of the arkle chase

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Should try him on the flat or forcing tactics like they did in the bumper.

Duinguib won the champion bumper at Punchestown last year....tho records will show Dunguib won but was disqualified later after been found to have been running with a banned substance.

World Hurdle is his best hope IMO.

Once he learns to settle, he'll be fine.

Born for fences imho.

Don't think half a mill would have even tempted them people are paying over a 100k regularly for horses that have won ptp's impressively

Have it real good authority that they refused 800k euros. Grren and gold hoops allegedly.

They should keep fate with Dampsquib hes got the makings of a Melbourne Cup horse

Turned down a million the evening he won Champion Bumper. Ryanair.

Started off 400k now we are up to a million....Snaffi Dancers record should be broke (as the greatest waste of money on a horse) by 12am.

The million offer is true. Not sure what the offers were up to that point. They were right to turn it down anyway. Live the dream (even if it didn't exactly work out).

foundation built on drugs never works

All depends on how wealthy the owners are.

How do you mean drugs Thebeg?

Owners well enough off to afford to turn it down at this stage of their lives.

Dont make sense paying a million for a horse with no crown jewels, how many Grade Ones would it need to win the money back. Michael doesnt like wasting money ...soooo.

sorry but whats a banned substance

It's not about winning the price back, it's about the glory. Keeping Gigginstown going is costing a fortune but he doesn't mind as long as he is in the winners enclosure on the big days. The Ryanair Michael is much different to the private Michael.

He was given a wormer that was mean't for another horse. Nothing untoward with that if you understood medicine. He had won at Cheltenham without any help from said wormer so can't understand your point.

Whats in the cat is in the kitten.

Chuck the horse into the Ascot Gold Cup :-)

Melbourne cup

can never understand when jumping is *apparently* a horse's only issue why not ride it up front where it can have a good sight?

I know Arnie Sendle who ownes Kinscliffe

He accepted the mega bux offer from JP and was due to exchange in the morning...woke up and changed his mind. He had a few quid but regreted it for sure

Paid some bucks for Viking Flagship

you would not want to back it without seeing some improvement, some never come back and serious question marks about the future

the horse moves lovely and its easy to see he's a very nice horse;
but perhaps he just needs a little more time. and if you have one shot
at the big time then money probably was not the prime concern.
