Horse of the year
no horse has every won a group 1 after spending 5 minutes digging for treasure and trying to part company with ones jockeyBlackbeard to conquer the World
August 21, 2022 at 14:59 #1612217It’s true.
Blackbeard will retire rated a stone worse than Little Big Bear, yet with considerably higher career earnings.
That’s organised crime on the high seas for you: “Pieces Of Eight, Pieces Of Eight….”

August 21, 2022 at 15:05 #1612223I’m not sure Blackbeard will return at 3
he if does could well be Aidan’s Commonwealth cup horse unless LBB flops at the mileBlackbeard to conquer the World
August 21, 2022 at 15:06 #1612224That horse is no fool.
He’s already got criminally-amassed fortunes buried under the 6f gates at various racecourses in Britain, Ireland and France – he will never pay a penny in tax on any of it.

Blackbeard to conquer the World
August 21, 2022 at 15:13 #1612226He only gets down on his knees as he’s so used to bowing before LBB at home every morning.
August 21, 2022 at 15:23 #1612227Blackbeard is never home, he’s always aboard the ship
Potentially could be taking over America in the Breeders cupBlackbeard to conquer the World
August 21, 2022 at 15:43 #1612229Makes sense.
If you’re mostly on the High Seas your tax status and citizenship is perpetually unclear.
This horse is a genius at tax avoidance.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"August 22, 2022 at 10:12 #1612263It’s blindingly obvious that this is stallion-bluffing behavior, and if Blackbeard’s connections want to prevent it from escalating and seriously injuring himself or a person they should stop laughing it off and school him properly, or failing that, geld him. You might humor it in a first-time starter but it’s not amusing or endearing at this point.
August 22, 2022 at 13:10 #1612270Geld a Group 1 winner, Miss Woodford?
In the words of his sire, No! Nay! Never!Suspect AOB has done all he can to stop these antics and failed.
However, you’re right about the danger of it escalating.
Can see Coolmotre announcing an injury. Retiring Blackbeard to stud at the end of the season (if not before) making sure the problem does not get any worse – never needing to be ridden again.Value Is EverythingAugust 22, 2022 at 13:19 #1612271Yes, agree
Aidan has run him a lot too which can mean an early retirement sometimes.Blackbeard to conquer the World
August 24, 2022 at 02:13 #1612385Im sure aiden has tried everything but he seems to have his wee quirks. Dont think he will be retired early. Hes inproving with each race and can see him being a top sprinter next season. Did marinsky not try and bite opponents iirc.
August 24, 2022 at 06:50 #1612386After the Morny, AOB is quoted as saying:
“He’s a proper early, fast and mature two-year-old,” said O’Brien of Blackbeard. “He jumps, he takes loads of racing and has loads of speed, and I couldn’t be happier with him.“
That could be interpreted as “We’re leaning towards retiring him at the end of the season.”
August 24, 2022 at 07:01 #1612388As a Group 1 winning colt there is no chance he will be gelded. Why anyone would want to breed from such a lunatic is another matter.
