How long can this partnership last ? He's being very loyal but surely patience is running out.
He's spent some decent money on a string of nice horses , not just dross , lovely pedigrees.
3 wins over 5 years , just one this season.
With the quality of the horses he owns this is shocking

Nikki's Dream, £150K breeze-up buy, and after a promising effort last time, put in 7-4 on the RP forecast.
Sent off 6.8-1 on here, finishes last of five  |

Ouija Board MUST have trained herself. One of my all time fav horses and I'm now thinking you can mark up ALL of her performances. I now think she was better than Enable.

A line through Tasman Bay & Fancy Man shows that John Leeper should be competitive in G2s at the very least. Now it looks like that horse would struggle to win a handicap.

To be fair to Ed, OB was given some miserable rides by some of the so called "best" jockeys around.

From Hugh's column today, 6 winners from 183 runners

The worst trainer going.
Snow fairy is in my Top 10 favs of all time. Like a poster said. Musta trained hersel You could add B.Meehan M.Bell Bin Suroor Into past G1 level trainers who now you wouldn’t trust to keep a stray cat fit and healthy. Ed takes the cake tho. Absolutely diabolical trainer |

I noticed a lot of his cast offs do ok admittedly at a lower level

Hugh calls it a "moderate strike rate" I would it call it something else! Paul, must be the most loyal and understanding owner in the game.
|
|
By:
Useless trainer and also very arrogant.

Here we go, under achieving combo trainer/jockey go off strong fav. What can possibly go wrong?
|

By:
Nothing because the system always works.

Vision impaired squirrels, faulty clocks, dog got double fed by both its owners.....

Oh that system!

seems to have hit a rich vein of form. Is Bob Baffert over for a working holiday?

Getting taken off the shadwell roster must have been some kick up the arris

Paul Turner
Last 14 days Wins:6 Runs:20 (30%) it was worth waiting for (nap) |
|
By:
they certainly have a bunch of very well handicapped stoutly bred types . Some nice middle distance handicappers if the trainer can get them fit !
|
|
By:
To be fair, his horses are running really well at present.....has he taken on a new assistant trainer?
 |
|
By:
 |
|
By:
he's got them fit and running well but its because of the poor efforts last year they're so well handicapped. These are generally expensive blue bloods running in 0-70 handicaps
|
|
By:
2 more dire performances and a string of poor results. Its worth remember these are decent pedigrees , expensive purchases fiddling around in 0-60 handicaps.
Paul its time to jump ship |
|
By:
I was thinking other day , surely Anamoine are getting tempted to see what Lyons or Harrington can do with John Leeper . There's still chance
|
|
By:
Not Paul Turner I know, but what on earth is he doing with John Leeper?
|
|
By:
.beat me to it,Hushwing |
|
By:
 its unlikely because of loyalty but they owe it to the horse to see if there's a stallion in there.I'm sure Ger would pick up a little Group race with him. |
|
By:
It would be the ultimate embarrassment to have him taken away bearing the naming of the horse and the owner's history with the family
|
|
By:
Should have been named Leeper the Bankrupt
|
|
By:
I agree they are disappointing recently but 8 winners from 28 runners and 13 wins from 109 runs in 2022 is not a total disaster. Why a new owner would put 28 horses with one trainer is beyond me.
|

By:
sageform agree numbers wise but its because of his poor efforts to train them to fulfill their full potential last season , that they've just fallen into grades they're naturally competitive in.

Juan Les Pins gets the job done first up for Taylor/Appleby . The horsewatchers are going to be all of these Paul Turner horses at the sales.
