Con Horgan memories???

Very decent trainer but got fecked over by some pollen problem I remember near his stables which affected the horses performance

I think he went a really long time with no winners when he was near the top of his game until he found the cause

Yellow Colours with the 3 purple spots , I remember a handicapper we "were told" would win and it shaat up, he knew the time o day

Yelloow and Purple the loyal Sumners who now have the odd horse with W. Knight

Accused the local farmer of spraying illegally on rape seed I think - all the horses went down.
Took years to build back up and then got an infected batch of horse feed that wiped him out again.

Excuses,excuses.

Only Joking,i thing he was a Half Decent Trainer.

I backed en attendant in the bunbury cup with lester on board at 14s. Got really lucky as i think it was daryl holland that made a pigs ear of the ride on belfry green.

My Dad was mates with Con Horgan, Western Dancer was probably his best known horse. Landed a right touch winning the Ebor with Paul Cook on board, also won the Chester Cup.

was horage one of his....?

plenty here just filter by year

Surely that was Ben Hanbury.and it won the Bunbury 2 years running with Piggott up.

Con knew his stuff, having learned the ropes under the tutelage of legendary Capt Ryan Price at Findon. He also was adept in cultivating a few wealthy middle-east types around London's West End gambling clubs. Good bloke on the whole.

he only had about 4 bets a year...and yes they all came in.
