king power racing vs andrew balding

you can only assume the blokes from leicester,other than that who knows

another belter there - whoever is advising this guy is taking the proverbial..you wonder how they can be so successful in business and then get landed with a very poor and hugely expensive string...

I think there will be some upset if today's doesn't win.

Have they really done that badly? Trying to buy horses in training is never easy but horses like Beat The Bank, Donjuan Triumphant, Cleonte and Pivoine have done well and the bought unraced 2yo's are doing OK such as Good Birthday yesterday. King Power today will be a big test though at such a crazy price for a filly.

Did not look a bargain!

150000 GUINEAS HORSE FINISHED LAST  BUT NEWBURY  NEWMARKET GREAT PLACE FOR SCHOOLING  MAIDENS  AND NOT WORD WILL BE SAID BUT SOME SMALL TRAINER AT WOLV/SUTHWELL  WOULD BE HAULED IN FINED  BIGTIME

nice winner Donny

That one went in.

You beat me to it Duncan!

Is that another!

Few more to come as well

The most expensive one gets beat and then the next 2 win. That's racing.

2 out of 3 and i bet the loser

ditto carrot

20-1 shot going in France 2-45....any chance!

To be fair to Balding he doesn't train all of theirs and the blame for the price tags has to go with whoever is doing the buying on behalf of the owner. Some obscene prices spent when balanced against the calibre of the pedigrees.

I think the horse in France placed at a good price.

Copter crash tonight hope for the best for everyone

looks bad

All the best to everyone involved terrible incident

It’s always the good ones.

Such a shame Stan Kronke stays on his ranch for our games :(

Dreadful news from Leicester.

Owner was on board. RIP King Power.

Very sad news for all concerned with King Power.

RIP

Puts it all into perspective..RIP

A sad day for British Horse Racing and also for LCFC. RIP to Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha and the others who have lost their lives in the tragic accident.

Tragic.  RIP

Tragic, awful way to go.
Has a runner entered in the G1 Criterium at Chantilly today, Bye Bye Hong Kong if it still runs, RIP.

Confirmed that the owner, his daughter, two pilots and one unnamed man were on board the Helicopter. On Sky News a short time ago.

An ex RAF pilot at our social club said he would never fly one. He fought in the WW2 and said they are unreliable.

Great shame for all involved RIP

Very sad, RIP!

Here one minute, next gone. Makes the bickering and ego-jousting evident here regularly so so unnecessary and childish.

Bye Bye Hong Kong owned by King Power is still in the Criterium International at 15:20 Chantilly today.

Bye Bye Hong Kong is a non-runner.

inevitable I would have thought.

Diff-rent
" An ex RAF pilot at our social club said he would never fly one. He fought in the WW2 and said they are unreliable"
They are hardly unreliable or the Royals would not be allowed to fly in them.
Very few have been lost servicing the North Sea oil rigs over the past 40 odd years. The last company I worked for made control equipment for rigs and refineries and we had engineers flying to rigs around the world and they tended to regard the flights as a perk. Prior to then I worked beside and looking over Battersea Heliport and never saw any emergencies.
Phillip Carter a Chelsea vice president and his son were killed in one a few years going home from a match when theirs crashed in thick fog..
