Any suporter othis horse should watch the replay of Racing Retro on TV tonight they have Makin on there and he has the trophy for the QE II on there which I must say was a very impressive lump of gold. Aparently it is about 6kgs of solid gold. He also half tipped his hat whic way he might go with Starcraft in America highly liely that it will the dirt race or atleast it looked asthough he was leaning that way anyway. He also said he has had offers of $16 million to send the horse to stud which he basically didn't even consider then he was asked whether he would sell him for $20 million he basically said he wouldn't even consider it saying money isn't something he really needs anyway.
He is the type of owner it is a shame we don't have more of in this country he has plenty of money and unless he gets a ridiculos offer he gets more honor out of the feats of this horse than going for the shotgun sale as Lloyd Williams has done on more than one occasion. If the horse comes through america fine then it is a very strong possibility he goes to Hong Kong the maybe the $3 million race in Dubai next year either way he certainly wants to win as much as he can with this horse and good one him he has gone the right way about it rather than a hit and run mission.
