POINT OF LAW - Wins tonight's Melbourne Cup, in Australia.

Formerly trained by John and Thady Gosden until (presumably) sold Privately and transferred to top Australian Trainer Cairon Maher, in August - following POINT OF LAW winning the Group 3 Bahrain Trophy Stakes at Newmarket - after finishing 4th, beaten a length and a half, in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot.

Why the issue of - 'Hell Breaking Loose' ?

Well - POINT OF LAW was previously Owned by King Charles, and bred by him, too

Don't know which will upset King Carles more -  POINT OF LAW winning the elbourne Cup - or ...

The - "Where's the umbrella" - fiasco in the pouring rain in Antigua.   Happy

'King Charles told me he wanted to win the Melbourne Cup more than any other race' – and now his former horse has landed Australia's greatest prize

King Charles not interested in racing,just going thru the motions,because his mother was a great fan of the horse and horse racing,now if we can discuss talking to plants we have an interest.

But the Queen is a great fan and will keep the colours going. Not sure of the next generation though.

Camilla probably enjoys her Racing but i do get the impression Charles would rather be doing something else.

£ 49,504 - for finishing LAST


In fact - £49,504 for finishing 13th and downwards to Last, too

Mind you - It costs Aus$ 50,805 to Enter and Run


God job the Australian Dollar/£ Sterling conversion rate is 1.92 = almost '2 for 1'.

Thus - £ 26,426 to Run


No wonder Joseph O'Brien sent 5 runners there = 5 x £23,000 - at Least = £115,000 'on the right side'  Happy

- and they used to say -- 'The best horse in a Yard is - The Horsebox' ....

.... at so much per Mile charge (from say Newmarket to Hamilton Park) Happy

  Correct its pretty clear he has no interest, wouldnt be surprised if he didnt even know it was running, still a Royal sized clanger dropped by his Racing Management.

If we had a constitution it would be illegal for the king to sell the royal gold and silver and horses..
