Buyer more money than sense |

There are far better ways of spending 350k on a racehorse than buying a 10 year old chaser with a lot of miles on the clock and a high handicap mark.

By:
not many that can go GC and National a few months on tho BB
|

By:
Same sort of money i presume that the Cheverley Park mob pay out for one most years?
|

By:
wanted advice on whether to buy young horses or ready made thing to compete in the big races,was advised to buy the latter by Kirby,only been an owner for 12 months Kirby said

It must have a great chance in the National but 350k
 - must have more money than sense. |
|
By:
That is true Delta. But he's got nay chance in a Gold Cup. Lot of eggs going in the Aintree basket.

By:
Better off Having £10k on it at 50/1, hiring a box at the course for £10k and being £330k better off when it unseats at the first.

Money that’s been payed for horses now is laughable
They are going for 100 k nowadays fir winning a ordinary point race Crazy prices add be off to new Zealand were u wd get a real horse for 100 not a flash in the pan ! |
|
By:
People are buying into a dream with these once raced point winners. Over 90 percent of them are over priced.
|
|
By:
much more than 90% i think
|
|
By:
Probably, I would need to do a lot of useless research to arrive at an accurate figure.

Darren Yates organised the sale without Kirby's intervention. He aims to make a profit on the deal by winning the Grand National. Another filthy property developer pi$$ing on our great nation!
|
|
By:
If he aims to make a profit by winning the National, he hasn't got very good odds if he spent 350k.....

Had his chance crossing the Melling Road in 2017 .

i think barry oconnell paid 500k for warne an 11y old gelded hunter chaser 9/2 fo foxhunters ran mid field........these prople must be clever to make the money in the first place how come thetre brain dead when it comes to horses...
JP different leaque spends big money but just a hobby but sure as fcuk has arrangement with betfair/**** backing laying with a trading office tucked away in switzerland or gibralta |
|
By:
And even worse connell one was a million for Our Connor, the list is endless with him.
|
|
By:
Would he have got a chunk back from the insurance for Our Conor (RIP)?
|
|
By:
These people rarely insure them George especially jumpers, stallion prospects on the flat for sure but OC I very much doubt.
|
|
By:
yes doorman, thinking about it, presumably insurance premiums for jumpers would be quite high and not economically feasible?
