Blacklion

Update..a gofundme page has apparently been set up to buy the horse and give it to his original lass  who was given first dibs at 3500 but who couldn't afford it.

great boozer in kilburnia

So much for owners ensuring all ex-racers are found a good home. £3,500 ffs.

Mitolo -drank there every Saturday night in tne summer of 1990-absolute lunatic asylum.

Shocking stuff, give the horse to the lass ffs

He was bought by Darren and Annaley Yates for £300,000 in February 2019, when he was sent into training with Dan Skelton and this is where he stayed until his retirement from racing.

Upon Blaklion’s retirement, David Norcross bought the horse from Mr Yates, and he was sent to Lancashire-based rider Alice Pimbley for retraining.

300k!!!

Every single racehorse should be available for anybody to look up post their racing career, not the current 40%.

From memory Darren Yates bought the most expensive NH horse ever sold at public auction (Until 2 weeks ago) and unfortunately for him all it managed after he bought it was a couple of of runs in nov chases and then retired.

Personally I think it very poor form how some owners deal with their retired horses.  Some have very little class sadly. 
Why would you sell an old friend who has served you well ?
