...Only A Idea But What About 10 Of Us Buying A Yearling At Tatts Sept Sales ..

My percentage was "Slowly away and always behind, broke leg 1f out, dead".  I wasn't told it was running.
workrider I'm in if this is a goer.

We'll see how it pans out lads , if we get a few more interested it could be the start of something big! check your passports are in date...

... The Breeders Cup no doubt!

Your passport in order then.

Your passport in order then.

what budget range and type ;; sprinter late maturing etc
buy to sell or race on
and most important what trainer, in principle i am interested

We'd have a budget of 12,000 so to allow for a couple of months training fees, gallop fees on Curragh etc ,I like to buy a sharp type , in the 7,000 bracket, no point of late maturing sort, no fun in that .Keep it for the year then if all goes well we'll sell and become millionaires . I'll have a word with Johnny Murtagh or Mick Halford re training . Expecting the catalouge anytime from Tatts.....

The "catalogue" in Excel format is incomplete.  They only show the damsire of 58 of 533 lots.  Unprofessional.

Waiting on the booklet catalouge to arrive on my doormat . The damside is most important imo. I believe that 75% of a horse comes from the dam...

owning a horse with some of u guys would require a full time therapist to be on hand 24 hours a day........ye would argue with the wall holding up your houses

But it would be FUN....

Just recieved the catalouge this minute ,amazing the way this sale has progressed over the recent past , a quick glance at the first 4 in the sale and the amount of black type on the damside is startling, I remember having seen many a horse at this sale without ANY black type in the pedigree .Some studying to be done .

I analysed the Goresbridge breeze-up catalogue a few months ago.
Black type in catalogues is misleading imo.  I prefer ratings.
That sale had little of interest but they still had six figure sales.

I'm interested.

Michael OCallaghan is a young man with a good eye,you could get him to buy and train this potential flying machine.

I'd probably be alone in not ever owning a horse so stuff like colours should be left to Workrider.
My idea would be lob two grand in and treat it as dead,if the miracle happens we could emulate my gambling by reinvesting til its all gone.

Can you register Shít Stirrer as a name?  It would reflect the forum tone.

I can just see it now....the Rover's hoops being carried to victory at the Dubai carnival on board a beast called 'Mussie Repellent' ......and co-owner Borneo in full embrace with the Sheikhs in the winners enclosure

Good man Ozy,you never fail , think you should have a look at that thread you started yesterday ,I'm sure you'll find it will remind you of yourself , Pa spot on once again...

Kincsem, ratings are only a therory imo , black type means you've DONE it ...How many highly rated horses fail to come up to their potential year after year ,but let us not divert from the thread , in this case opinions are welcome...

Wildmanfromborneo, I spoke to MOC at both Leop and the Curragh recenty saying as much to him, I like the type of 2yo he buys, seems like a nice youngman indeed...

I am told that Fallon is the reason behind the noticeable change in training methods this season.  Horses are improving for runs instead of going backwards. 

Wonks why buy  some unbroken crooked legged donkey when our friend Philip has any amount of them down in Wicklow.  I will even come onboard myself if you manage to get one out of his stable.

We could rename it Wonky Donkey

  .  Maybe at a later stage we could try that ploy BWS...

poor ozy,lowering the tone once again just to get noticed.id be interested tbh.ive been involved in ownership before and like wmfb says stick your initial investment in and write it off basically.

im interested also although i have to admit money is the worry i have one already,so it would have to be cheap?

workrider
You might put up a list of people who have expressed interest to see how many you have.
I think you need about twelve paying purchase price up front, and then more for monthly maintenance.
A yearling might never become a worthwhile training prospect so people will have to accept that possibility.

From recollection a bet between two forumites has rarely been organised successfully...I did have one with a guy on the Rugby Forum, a guy called Fresh or Freshman, May 28th 2011, it was.  500 quid..I lost....I hardly need reassure you, gentlemen, that the debt was swiftly settled.

Anyway, good luck, getting this venture off the ground, I will be very impressed if it comes to fruition.

Is Michael O'Callaghan any relation to Noel O'Callaghan out of interest?

I hope he realises what he has in store for him should he take this syndicate on board as new Owners

And that's even before Qatar Racing get wind of the pre-dispositions of the Yards new Owners towards their religion

Oh boy!

Surely there must be something going on in Laois Ozy , you have become boring and repetitive , a little like your pyscological thread dont you think ,maybe its time you took a walk along Mountmellicks main street to cool off...

Mountmellick   Someone has been winding you up about Laois btw!  Or you got the wrong end of the stick.

Don't worry, I wont be whistle blowing on you with Michael..  I wish you all the best with him.  And I am sure you will warm to the Qatar boys once you get to know them

poor ozy,hates to see others getting along and talking about a possibly exciting venture.i must add that i would want no part if he was in any way involved.

Okay lads ,hopefully Ozy has run his course , getting down to business I spent a considerable amount of time working on  looking up Sires that would be affordable , had a look at the following , Bated Breath (10) Born To Sea (14) Choisir (8)
Clodovil (10) Dark Angel (5) Famous Name (5) so far . There are many others on the list ,so if anyone has a catolouge available to them and would be willing to help please pm me thanks...

PM sent

good research Workrider
Dark Angel would hardly be buyable at your price range as his covering fee that year was 27500
Choisir Clodovil and Capt Rio are all good solid stallions
7k budget turns into 8k after commission and vat.
take an average of 1500 per month training fees (incl vets and farriers) by next April our steed is now standing at least 18k then the sun starts we name him and register him with HRI
by the time we run mid may we are upto 22-23k
so i suggest we all put in 2k upfront to cover until Ptown approx by which time we will have an idea where we are .
as regards trainers i am very easy but maybe a cheap yearling in O Callaghans would be lost
best of luck and keep us posted

Thanks Calling Card , your maths are fine , have seen many a big priced Stallions stock sell for little or nothing ,all about comfirmation , so as the Yanks say I'll take a rain check on that . A few more seem interested so I'll keep ye posted by pm rather than have certain people cram up the thread with crap.
Kincsem have replied ...

good stuff stick with those that are interested and not get slagged off by w..kers
a correct colt by a moderate sire is a better option to resell than a crooked one by a more popular one

ex rothwell noble call wins for joanne foster, it could be a trend to follow

As stated above your getting into double money before it hits the track,

Why not consider my suggestion and pinhook .

Like some of the guys say treat the initial investement as dead but this way theres minimal further outlay with a good chance of a return.

Im not sure about anyone else but i,d get almost as much satisfaction watching its career afterwards with very little risk other than a fatality or similar.

olddesperado,the whole point is having a bit of fun with it, sure the pinhooker thing might work , then again what if its lead out unsold!. Pinhooking is not as easy as it seems , I think you are forgetting the cost as well ,to get one to the sales costs money , so your outlay is increased . Maybe futhur down the line we'd go along that route...

PM and e-mail sent

Replied...

The lease route might be an option.

No problem WR.

Best of luck with it.

the lease route is a great idea?

Gant, not mt way , can't be bothered paying for someone else to reap the benefits, if theres any that is..

fair enough wr..i thought it was a good idea as your only in a year?..but if its a non starter no problem?

I agree with you Workrider but I know a group of lads who started out that way. They formed a solid syndicate since.

How's this little dream going wonky? Are you onto the next Lady Aurelia yet?

Have you found 12 forum mugs to part with 2 large each yet? Wonks planning a trip to Thailand with 24 bags in his suitcase methinks..

Cider disappearing like hot cakes off the shelfs in Cabra it seems ,have a nap for yourself , OMG what have I said!

No way would I give this chancer a cent, he'd be down looking at a used car rather than any sort of yearling

Lot 129, a son of G1 St James’s Palace Stakes winner Most Improved sells to Peter & Roos Doyle Bloodstock at Goffs for £90,000 stg.

The boat is sailing...have we missed it ?

http://www.goffsuk.com/sales-results/sales/premieryearlingsale2016

Sorry *Ross

Catch , Most was one of the worst G1 winners ever. Coolmore will hype him to the hilt , but anyone giving good money for his prodigy wants their head examined...

Yeah, just watchin it live

Here comes Henry Beeby

MOC bought the last 2 lots for 55,000 and 50,000..

Sorry 48,000.

Following on from a phenomenal year both on the track and in the sales ring for his progeny, DARK ANGEL’s fee has risen to €60,000/GB£45,000.

Does not mean that you will not be able to pick up one with two crooked legs being guided around the ring in a horse ambulance for around 6k to 7k?

Workrider....He also gave 100k for a dandy man. It's only a matter of time before the Qatari boys pull the plug, they are getting saddled bigtime.

Does not mean that you will not be able to pick up one with two crooked legs being guided around the ring in a horse ambulance for around 6k to 7k?

Gant,how anyone could give that kind of money for a Dandy Man is beyond me , a very poor sire imo ,mad money been spent on poor horses, Venders can't believe it I'd say...

Why dont ye pool together and buy a bungalow up in the Galtee mountains and barracde yourselves into it and leave the rest of the outside world alone ye shower of headcases.

I have the very sire for you lads goodluck   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jd8219Nj2so

Gordon Elliot has a racing club, you get a newsletter every month and a few tips, not go away and join that ya daft idiot and stop clogging up the forum Wonky with your BS, btw you could not tell the difference between a mare and a full horse one day in Sligo.

Go away you were not there.

You don't even know whether Hercules was in your terms a boy or a girl,neither would you get he clue that was in his name.

Rememeber the time you used to log in a a woman and look for dates?

Oh dear did you reply to Dark Rosaleen,did she let you down.

There would be some scatter if she returned,I would start by asking her to reveal the contents of her PMs.

You wouldn't now surely Wildmanfromborneo...

Really? oh dear..

this is odious, cretinous behaviour and what the silent majority have come to expect unfortunately. time to leave this cess pit

My  Dark Rosaleen .. poem by James Clarence Mangan, if your up in dublin Wildman you could do worse than   visit the grave of  J.C.M. in Glasnevin , to be honest i couldn,t understand what he was saying in the poem except to think that Roseleen was Ireland of that time,
Daniel O'Connell, Charles Stewart Parnell, Michael Collins, Éamon de Valera, and many others are Buried in Glasnevin.
PS i did the tour of Glasnevin cemetary over a year ago -when we stop at Dev;s family graves;one of the women in our group lay Roses on Dev;s grave and another spit on the grave.      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Clarence_Mangan#/media/File:Grave_of_Jam...

Best of luck with the syndicate lads. Great idea. Hope ye have a bit of luck and ill follow this thread with interest

It's a wind up pal. Op is a deluded dreamer.

Did you get this off the ground WR.

Some fair value there I thought looking at the prices .

I didn't see them of course but bought by respected buyers so have to think they looked ok.

"Only an idea"

A colt by Dubawi topped a strong opening day of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale and became the highest priced yearling in the world this year when selling for 2.6 million guineas on Tuesday. Well Done to the shower of headcases syndicate. Yous have a nice to start

Chances are the 2 Dubawi's bought for 2.6m and 2.1m will not make the track or turn up in a November Wolverhampton maiden.

ttt

This is the thread I was looking for the other day.

He keeps them in a little jar at the foot of the wardrobe...

...yeah, next to all my girlfriend's knickers so I know there safe .....best of luck Old !

Just saw where 50+ Ballydoyle inmates are going to the Horses-in-Training sales ...some unraced , others rated from 50 to 100.
Must try to watch out and see what kind of money they get. They're all bred in the purple but in many cases  the gene mix didn't do what it was supposed to.
Still the quality is there and a shrewd trainer will probably squeeze out a win eventually -if only in a claimer with a 7lb apprentice up.

Thought they usually take the factory route ?

Death Of A Salesman Irish-style with you-know-who as Willy Loman

I Found it on You Tube R.A. Staring one of my fav actors Lee J Cobb, I will spend the afternoon looking at the play, Thanks

Are we buying the horse or not? What's your address workrider and I'll post the cheque?

Great to see you alive and kicking thegalwayman....Olddesperado might find it a interesting sale, I would never buy from them if AOB cant get them to win or progress what chance does anyone else. I would love to be able to afford one of the fillies though, its nearly impossible to get into that kind of bloodlines without the odd million or two in your pocket...

28th - 31st October 2019

Had 45 lots in 2018 with just 12 selling

workrider I'm not sure how far you've got with this project but definitely count me in. Let me know how much you need up front and then every month and I'll send it across to you.

Listen though I'm only coming in on this if we have it contractually agreed between the pair of us that we're calling the horse 'The Bohemian'!

A few of you might know from another online forum I decided to go it alone.
I bought a mare that failed to get in foal the last two years, but had the filly foal she was carrying when bought, and that will be a 2yo on 1st January.
Then I bought a second mare in December 2018, she had the foal she was carrying, and she is now carrying a foal I planned.  With luck she will have the foal in the spring.

All the best with that Kincem, I really hope it works out for you.

Soldieroffortune, sadly I must refuse your offer , calling a horse The Bohemian is not my idea of a WINNER!....

Best of luck kincem.

It's a tough game but like myself I'm sure your loving every minute of it.

Sometimes at 5:30 am in the pitch dark and freezing cold I question whether I'm mad or not but then I'm off work early some days and I see them cantering across the field back in and it's all worthwhile whether I ever make money or not.

I'll freely admit it was about money when I started but now all I care about is each horse.
Their welfare will always be the priority.

Lovely sentiments Old.

Kin, one could have bought the great Faugheen for €4K as a foal. He later sold for €12K as a 3yo. BofL

Things like that are the dream cmiyc.
That's why all us bottom enders  stay going.

Btw if the jp Henderson horse who is 1/1s wins the last at chelts tomorrow it's yet another black type winner in my youngest fillys page.

Impressive last time he will take all the beating although a decent race in fairness.
