Biggest Yo-Yo horse ever.

Johnny Ebeenzer

Hunt Ball.

jonny ebeneezer was surely only ever a handicapper.
hunt ball isn't too bad yet surely.

PERSIAN WAR - would be a qualifier, of sorts.

Although the 'decline' was more to do with his egotistical IDIOT Owner - who NEVER deserved to own such a horse - refusing to retire the TRIPLE CHAMPION HURDLE Winner - sending him to several different trainers, in a vain attempt to 'keep living those Glories'.

Ile de Chipre won the Judmonte after being shot,some comeback.

Venn Ottery

The Tatling

Got from a claimer, won the King's Stand, ended up running round Wolver

I was just about to nominate MILTON BRADLEY - collectively - and cite, your example, The Tatling.

He did similar - alebeit on a slightly lower level - with another Sprinter, BREVITY, who became a 100 horse after winning a Handicap at Ascot - and ended up running abysmally in a Novice HURDLE at Plumpton - after which, he was then entered in a Novice CHASE, but, thankfully, never ran in it.

Some say - 'Good old Milton' ... Not me.

C5 handicapper, to novice hurdler, to dual Group 1 sprinter, to finish in a C3 at Nottingham - Les Arcs!

Well done - GEORGE B

We are all kicking ourselves for not putting that one up before you.

onlooker, it was when you posted about Brevity running in a novice hurdle that reminded me

Les Arcs wa nker for a owner

I'd imagine there would have been a few in the US who were got from claimers before being 'jet propelled' by 'magic carrots'!

*before ending up back where they came from

re: Rakti

The thread does not mean 'in and out', or inconsistent performer.

"Yo-Yo" - on this instance - means ....

Started fairly low - in it's CAREER - then 'Hit the Heights - before ending up still running, at a LOWLY level.

Jonny Ebeneezer brings back good memories for me. I remember following him from his claimers all the way to his handicap win off about 95. He was a profitable horse to follow that summer.

Over the jumps Snoopy Loopy sticks in my mind. Went from getting stuffed off 108 to winning a Grade 1 in 12 months and then fast forward 12 months and he was hopeless again.

Glencroft and Chaplins Club, and probably 1 or 2 more of his sprinters.

Further Outlook.

I backed Green Green Desert Antepost for the 2000 guinneas ended up running in chases!!!

GEORGE B when I started this thread it was between les arcs or cezanne for the top post by me.

I can remember HALLING getting beat in a handicap at Donny, ended up a Group 1 winner and great sire.

Tangerine Trees has potential for this . Started off by losing in its first 10 handicaps all off marks in the 60s , before going on to win the L'Abbaye. Just needs a few more dodgy runs now.
