He says he got it wrong with the horse. They knew it was a bleeder so why bring it back in a G1?  You can't knock Haggas's record lately  but maybe this was a bad move. Doubt we'll see it again.

if it's a bleeder, it might bleed in a seller.

If it was working Ok why not try it in a lower grade, perhaps York.
Slightly separate point: Graffard said about Calandagan  "we didn't want to be greedy" after winning the K G. He's a guy I'll follow.

If Stoutey can be excused for running Ajdal in a Derby I think we can excuse Haggas for this error in judgement.  Love  He doesn’t make many does he.

Economics had a racecourse gallop at Newmarket, which they showed on rtv.

Of course, they aren't 100% reliable but he was deeply unimpressive.

The horse wants further, he’s not quick
Enough over 1 Mile 2 at G1 level. Problem
Is, they were trying to make him a stallion, and thé
Further hé goes, thé less he’s worth. Starts winning
Over a mile and half plus, he’s then a 5k jump sire

We'll forget about the Irish Champion!

I think that race bottomed him, personally. Had a VERY hard race.

He’s a Night of thunder colt, who will be 250k next year
So he’d be the only N.O.T at stud, but the horse is just
A galloper, and now a bleeder, he’s bled a few times.

They have to retire him now, but a risky proposition as
A stallion ??

He beat Dubai Honour in the gallop who ran well today in France, but the worth of gallops 'form' is? without weights, times etc,  only that he didn't bleed.

not sure what can be derived from a racecourse gallop where all 3 were being nudgled along.
By:

When: 19 Oct 25 21:01
Gallops are worthless as you don't know the weights being carried by either

is 'nudgled' a mix of nudged and strangled??

Give you an extreme example of gallops
Was on thé heath one day, watching Stoutys work

A horse called calling dot worked with Golan
And one other, csnt remember its name, good horse

Worked over 7, calling dot com, was unraced, it kicked
Both horses out of the way, won gallop by 6 lengths, gorgeous
Looking horse, Yarmy was screaming accross thst heath, whats thst, whats x is riding,

It ran in 3 maidens, backed it twice, well best all 3, always an
Excuse. I think it got 42 from memory, not sure stouty ever ran
One thst low. We drove to Yarmouth to bet it in the H/csp, had a good bet at 4s
Well beat. A very very expensive lesson learned. I think Ivan Allen owned it

Since they knew it was a public gallop, they would have wanted Economics to look good, but he didn't.

No I don't lay long odds against. He wasn't even fancied anyway. I posted about the racecourse gallop as people are moaning that he shouldn't have come back in a group 1. However, he had a hard enough racecourse gallop there, not like the horse knows the difference.

Oh dont I know thst Irons,  got to do it on the track.
It was in the sales we were going to nick It
But I think he sent it to littmoden, hé won races with It.

It needed to find all the trouble goin in a race, bury it
Tge pack, thst kept it interested, used to travel over
Everything at home

as sed above,how can ewe possibly take heed from gallop work unless ewe nah what weights on their backs?
By:

When: 19 Oct 25 22:50
You can't, but fortunately we were gifted with logic. It's not usually the aim to make it look like potential stallions struggle to beat inferior rival in a public racecourse gallop. They aren't prepping him for a 0-70!

they were all nudged along..just a bit exercise.
