Some notes of interest:
Atlantic Jewel is retired now, Puissance De Lune is lame after they worked him in the sand dunes and then raced him at the Valley. Sand dunes are great for building muscle, not for stamina, to put a horse over the dunes and then run him on the strathayr and put w-inkers on him so he overraced is nuts. No wonder he is lame, and will probably be retired I'd say. Very poor call by Weir.
Recently been working with a son of Rancho Ruler who is a nutcase, the owners were told he is a rising 6yo, he ain't, Rancho Ruler is 26yo if he's alive, so my best guess is their horse is rising 16yo. This horse is branded but for some stupid reason they branded the last digit of the year, so a horse can be 7, 17 or 27
Here's one I've not come across, been working with a TB mare, beautiful stride, could have been the next big thing, never seen a stride so fluid and long. The trainer had bought this horse unbranded and then branded it herself I found out!!! She couldn't register the horse as she had no paperwork??? Totally unbelievable in this day and age. So this mare cannot even be bred from as a race broodmare with any value. But this mare has some blue blood and she would have bred some stunning types. They will be worthless because of her missing identification. Such a shame, a real loss, she has the sweetest temperament and the biggest stride I've seen in the flesh to date. I got to ride her over the training track and when she let down, I felt like Bossy
Was like riding a cushion of air under a hard hold.
Oh well, what might have been
