I just heard that alinghi was almost killed on the weekend in america when it burst through a barricade and ran across a 4 lane highway.

Can anyone confirm or deny this?

G'day,

Talking to owner and trainer tomorrow morning on same.
cheers

The race she was entered in was scrapped, they were all scared of her and there wasn't enough acceptances. She is now due to run towards the end of the month. Frankel also stated that the reports Alinghi had gotten loose were entirely false.

As much as i never liked her i am glad she is in the US to show them what a good Aussie horse can do.......no offence to any yanks on here but i visit a couple of other US sites and for some reason they think they have the best horses in the world......if i had the cash i would take a good aussie trainer over there with a few horse to prove they are not the only ones that have champions

i was hooked on Alinghi after her Blue Diamond win.....a great horse

heard she was starting first up in a 1800m race ? ridiculous ..

don't be surprised to see her race over a shorter distance on dirt in the next couple of weeks..

yeah, and 1700m Grade 3 is what i heard...still wrong because she is best at 1200-1600m

I loved the horse, backed her @ her first start and never jumped off. Biggest wins on her was a all up Special Harmony $1.35 into Lonhro $1.70 into Alinghi $2.35 on diamond day, all looked absolute morals and ended up paying over $5. And had a huge go in the Newmarket. Don't know how anyone couldn't like her she was just so good, i wish i could get over to the States to back the **************** out of her first-up, against anyone, any surface, over any distance.

should be able to bet on her here Mr ed ,,i'm sure IAS will give a market..

I hope so, thought there were laws against using their races however, thats why i thought Betfair wouldn't operate on their races. Even if they did frame a market for Australia, what odds are going to be available for her, no-ones gunna wanna back the yank's donkeys against our superstar. I know a few people on here would if they were value, but as a whole; no halfway decent odds could be attainable for Alinghi with an Australian firm holding the bets IMO.
