Jim Best and the story of the 'colt' who's a gelding!

Jim Best had wool pulled over his eyes and found crying like a baby.
No he fecking nows how us punters feel when hes pulling the stroke.

The last paragraph - Tinkler & Haggas both previously fined £100 for failing to report a gelding op, but may view Bott's case in a "more sympathetic light".

How much more sympathetic can they be?

'to breed from'     


is this bloke a compulsive liar?

*Botti's

Are you suggesting Geoff that Mattie's car didnt break down.

Matties car probably wouldnt start(flooded engine) as when riding some of Jims he wouldnt let go of the choke

"It's like somebody advertising a dog for sale and finding you've bought a cat and having to keep it."

err no it's not,advertised as a horse and you got a horse,stop bleating

tom*unt

Have you ever read such cobblers? Any journalist worth his salt would be asking 'Why do want to breed from a colt just beaten in a claimer'? Graham Green more or less let Best write his own article.

something to say curious tw*t

"It's like somebody advertising a dog for sale and finding you've bought a cat and having to keep it."

indeed

"It's like laying a horse because it only seems to be capable of a 50 rating and finding out its an 80 horse and having to pay out."

You know, I could have been a bit more 'creative' with the title of this thread...

Jim Best talking balls

Translation. Jim Best pays over the odds for a horse that is not very good.
Realises he doesn't want it and finds an excuse to have a pop at someone.
Breed from that lump of mince, come off it!

pitzwang will be on shortly to give Jim's side of the story     

if it was 95% of any other trainers, people wouldn't have a problem with them wanting their money back .

he bought a horse that was not what it should have been , I can't see what the problem in them wanting their money back is  , regardless of what their intentions breeding wise is or isn't

You are probably right. But for some reason a forum of people who bet of Horse Racing doesn't seem to be overflowing with sympathy for Jim Best. I wonder why?

On, not of. Sorry

Yes he should be entitled to the sale being voided but its the irony of the situation that he may have been conned makes us think what goes round eventually may come round .
But in his case he will be totally recompensed.

anyone else would be pleased to find out the horse was already a gelding cos it saves them the cost of chopping off its knackers but this horsesh!t merchant has to come up with a **** (pun accidental) and bull story to get out of the sale cos theyve changed their mind for whatever reason

****= c0ck (obv)

Obviously there is unlikely to be a whip round for him on here.

A Kevin Ryan Seller winner at Musselburgh was once sold by the auctioneer as a filly when it was a gelding.
The sale was cancelled and it was put up for auction again.

Not a fan of Best but of course he should return the horse. He might have expect
Ed to improve the horse by having it gelded as many trainers do.

Thought he'd be able to get some improvement from it by gelding it, only to find out it'd already been done.

Which is not to say that he isn't correct, the horse wasn't as advertised. But the suggestion that it has been bought to breed from is one of the most risible things i've ever heard.

Agreed.

Did Botti get a slap for that, George? A bit naughty or just a typo on the catalogue?

Just an oversight on Botti's part, saddo.

I don't know what the outcome was for Botti, but it appears £100 max fine.
