WATERFORD CRYSTAL MILE
 

EXCELLENT result WAOS great effort tipping the tri, well done!

And the quinella as well in the CITY PACIFIC FINANCE STAKES! Great results all round..top effort!!

Plastered
 

On the radio this morning reported that Lee Freedman is heading an offer for Plastered. I’m assuming this is ANOTHER offer :confused: as not surprisingly Freedman will be training if this offer is accepted and NOT Lindsey Smith!

Yeh. well done WAOS especially your tips WATERFORD CRYSTAL MILE ;)

Plastered - and then there was 3!!
 

My understanding is that there’s been at least THREE bids!

Bart Cummings made an offer of $1.8 million to buy all shares – that bid was apparently knocked back.

Another offer $1 million+ from a WA syndicate headed by part owner Elio Galante where if successful trainer Lindsey Smith would be retained.

And the most recent offer (again $1 million+) from a syndicate (which reportedly includes owners of the ill-fated Mummify) headed by Lee Freedman which would result in Freedman taking over as trainer.

Freedman's focus with Plastered will be on the autumn and spring carnivals and international races in 2006. He could still start in Mackinnon Stakes on Sat or even the Sandown Classic Nov 12 but a start in the big one this year is highly unlikely.

It's been confirmed that the new trainer of Plastered is Lee Freedman and he is likely to run in this Saturday's Mackinnon Stakes with a possible start in the Melbourne Cup.

think I need a BIGGER plot-holder :D

Plastered - Done Deal!!
 

Looks like a done deal if you believe the latest press release in the west!

Subject to a vet check tomorrow the Freedman syndicate have him!!

And in the process current part-owner Ellio Galante is said to have increased his ownership in Plastered from 40% to 55% making him the controlling owner!!!

Hi La Mer
 

Oops! Didn't spot your post La Mer :o you beat me to it! Long time no post :)

So what happens with Lindsey Smith ?

..whatever the pre-post odds didn’t matter in the end….…not too far away (4th) – close but no cigar! Not sure if Covertly a bit overrated or still to find her best.

Will head back home family in tow to start a new chapter in the Lindsey Smith horse trainer career. I'm sure he'd like to get another one good enough to head back east again next year.

Modem
 

Finished back at the rear Saturday hopefully he pulled up ok and it was just the slow track factor

grey matter wrap-up
 

Dashing Belle unplaced

Well I guess we may never see Plastered over west again now he's gone to the Freedman stable :( and nil reference to any plans to come back for the upcoming summer carnival :(

.....which I'm sure wouldn't be disappointing news to the connections of Free At Last whose task to qualify for the bonus (minus Plastered) is now so much easier

Kool!
 

Kool result race 5 purple passion; 6-3-4 tri not a bad payout at all !

they say Lindsey had the option to stay on as trainer but I wonder what conditions were attached....,,,anyway do hope Lindsey can bounce back :)

when do they change over to ascot ?
only bet perth at ascot so have been hanging out!
didnt get much of a lookin last time around :LoL:

Trifecta all 3 races :)

Only the 1 trifecta (R5) but paid OK ;)

Plastered - All Deals Are Off!!!
 

Plastered has FAILED the vet's test!!!

Reported all deals are now off with the horse is staying in the original ownership of Janelle Harvey and Ellio and Jacquie Galante.

Reasons for Plastered failing the test have not been revealed as yet.

It is believed a subsequent heavily reduced offer was made made by the Freedman syndicate but was rejected by the Janelle Harvey.

Plastered will now return to WA stables of Lindsey Smith and his future will be mapped out after his condition is re assessed.

Plastered - All Deals Are Off!!!
 

You have to be joking!! :eek:

Can you believe this? This saga has to be better than Home and Away!!!

will he ever race again??

Plastered - All Deals Are Off!!!
 

How fickle is fate! I do feel for Smith its been nothing but a roller-coaster ride for him past few weeks!

Told ya!! :D

Plastered on the way home
 

I guess the smile that might have been on the faces of Free At Last connections :) may now look more like this :-I (wry smile) ;)
...and will no doubt look more like this :( if Plastered's problems are manageable and Lindsey and owners decide to tackle some of the big races over the Ascot summer carnival.
