Turned down £2.2 million for her.
A small syndicates dream being offered that amount and I get the attachment they have for the filly but imho 100% the wrong thing to do financially, regardless of what happens in the future

48 grand each and despite the vibe they try to give off all wealthy tory boys, so suppose the argument is whats the guarentee of replacing her with a group 1 contender for £2 mill, worried about my £2 with THE SHOE in the saddle ,brave men betting £2 mill he wont fook up again

100% the right to do. There would be a lot of interest in her with regards to breeding once she's retired, especially if she can win another G1 and keep the race! But even if she doesn't but still runs to the level she's at now, she's making a 1M+ in a breeders Auction. So 20-30k for the enjoyment of watching a horse you own running in all the big Fillies race for at least the rest of this season. A very easy decision IMO

Fair play if that's your view WP, only one of the syndicate voted yes, looks a more than fair offer to me and I definitely would be in the sell corner.

saw him interviewed saying been valued around 750 bags as low end estimate
french guineas "2nd" french oaks fav she's worth 7 fig amount for sure imo |
|
By:
48k is a decent chunk of change but if you consider the future prize money she could earn and what she's worth with regards to breeding. I think it was a sensible decision to turn the offer down. Also what price would you put on the enjoyment of owning such a classy Horse and getting to watch her in all those big Fillies races for the rest of the season

Could possibly buy a few good ones tbh…
May regret after Sunday… |
|
By:
This scenario is just like Deal Or No Deal in truth , the main factor to know is how much each individual needs £48k , until then it's impossible to form an opinion regarding what's best.

Already got black type.Sale price halves their share goes down to around £24K,still a nice
amount after watching her for the rest of her racing career.Sale price might even go up if she nicks a GP1. |
|
By:
Would have been £66000 per shareholder.
Let's hope that they don't eventually regret it but the correct procedure was followed. If it was solely mine i would have bit their arms off at that price |

Asked about the opposition, our interlocutor replied: “Shes Perfect is a good filly, but I don’t know if she will hold 2,000 meters. It is she who has the highest rating. She beat Mandanaba, which means that if we only consider the line, ours has a length to find. Gezora won well last time, she is a manageable filly, a sure bet. Aga’s racing manger on She’s Perfect. |

And there’s more to it when you look into it! ;)

It’s a catch 22 we all know horses can dissapoint and I hope it wins for them but it’s a very fine line they are treading and yes as it’s only a small pot each, then I’d take the gamble and hope it goes your way

The late Lord Carnarvon stated that is better to sell and regret than the other way round.
I agree |

If and when they do decide to sell,I hope they make a right few quid each.
GL to 'em. |

I cannot remember the filly that was trained by Beckett, and bought by Amo Racing for over £4m in a sale recently. She did not win the last time, but her main purpose now is the number of foals she'd produce.
Does the syndicate own the entirety of She's Perfect? If so, could the syndicate not sell a large portion of She's Perfect and retain the remainder as future investment in the foals she'd produce? I'd sell for £2m+ if this was the only option. |
|
By:
I hope it works out for them, they are obviously emotionally connected to the filly but that offer imo was more than fair.
Things can change quickly, good luck to them |
|
By:
Hope it wins easily on Sunday…..should stir the nest.

Think the mare Marsha? went for bundles when sold.
She was a GP1 Wnr though. |
|
By:
this could well be best horse they will ever own, if they dont need the money
then live the dream the thrill and excitement of owning a G1 horse is something money cant buy they were desperately unlucky lto and she could be worth significantly more if race plans come to fruition... |
|
By:
In a syndicate like that you're bound to get risk takers vs risk averse , as stated it's a Deal or no Deal scenario but as with the tv program without knowing the individuals financial position and needs nobody can make the decision for them and it's also impossible for anyone judging them without those ingredients.
I'd imagine somewhere along the line it'll be too nervy for some and they'll sell their share to someone else in the syndicate who's less risk averse and with a healthier bank balance. Good luck to them all  |
|
By:
I don't think it's so much if they don't need the money, so keep the fily, more it's an offer too good to refuse.
For what it has done £2 million plus is a lot of money. |

We turned down £2,200,000 for Shes Perfect........

I hope she wins on sunday. I think the horse, the jockey and the syndicate deserve it post the heartache of the French 1000G.

My view is they are flash mugs giving it the biggun not taking the 2.5 million

flash mugs giving it the biggun
sounds like the definition of racehorse owners |

By:
Guy clearly enjoys his five minutes of fame, and seeks to milk it to the max.
Media likes to portray these syndicates as people who haven't two pennies to rub together. I doubt that is the case, but either way it looks a bonkers decision. |

punters/everyones pal basher,turns down £2 mill for filly on mon,on fri he,s advertising for RACING POST telling everyone to subscibe so they like him can use their form video for all his punting,of course skybet accs can get same information for free on sportinlife and there,s lots of other places to get same video,s for free,but hey even those turning £2 mill down have to eat
 |
|
By:
he didnt turn down £2 million, he was one of 37 who decided to carry on with the syndicate
but dont let your bitterness get in the way of facts, gl to them tomorrow hope they make plenty out of the filly |
|
By:
Hayden hit the nail on the head when he said you would only think of selling if you needed the money, why would you join a syndicate hoping for a dream horse only to sell for what would amount to the price of a decent car. Good luck to them.
|
|
By:
The vast majority voted to keep her.Don't win another race still worth a nice
amount for what she's already achieved. |
|
By:
Wins on Sunday they will enjoy counting the stud value….
|
|
By:
It's their horse and they have chosen not to sell. For what the horse has achieved though, £2 million plus is a massive offer, especially for a filly.
Had it been a syndicate of 10 or less or he owned it himself, for me it's an offer you couldn't refuse. I definitely would have sold it regardless even if I didn't need the money. |
|
By:
Tom,
I agree. Of course the financial circumstances of the 38 (?) shareholders has to be taken into consideration, and Basher being Basher, may have 'guided' them to refuse the offer, but at the end of the day she's only won a minor fillies maiden worth 5K. I accept she's been placed in a couple of French group races since, but had the run of the race each time. Charlie seems to be confident she will stay, i'm not, but he's trained more winners than me. The breeding certainly doesn't scream out 10.4f. Stall 7 is not necessarily a significant negative assuming she breaks well tomorrow, but not sure she will get a soft lead and it's a decent field. I think she should have gone for the Coronation and i'm laying her tomorrow. You may remember Via Sistina was sold for 2.7M guineas to Australia, she had won group races including a G1, i know which one i would want. |
|
By:
This filly's only ran in 4 races so far.Get's beat they can always drop her back
down in trip.Via Sistina had a few more races to get those results. |
|
By:
I really hope it works out for them but I just think things can change so quickly, especially with a filly, buying it for that money based on potential is also a massive gamble, time will tell
