    I see Hughes is 6/4 now for that bet, you should of started the thread last week…. :whistle:
    Will we see Peacock, I would hope so being by Paco Boy, I think he is tough and can still improve a bit, lightly raced but no one has seen him, the ‘missing’ posters went out after Royal Ascot, maybe they should of offered a reward.

    Nathan,

    I am afraid Peacock has been sold to HK.
    Also, he suffered from tendon injury and should not be able to reappear soon.

    cant wait,will be interesting if they aim Limato at the Lockinge.Anyone have any thoughts on his effort in the Foret? looked a bit ‘iffy’ to me in that albeit a decent run on form

    Thank you for that infomation Patrick
    I notice that Peacock clocked a fraction over a minute for a 5 furlongs run. Not a bad effort that, shame about the tendon. Lovely horse.

    Order of st George especially if there is give in the ground,minding to see where they put her and the Chester meeting which usually gives great clues as to which stables to follow.

    You mean the barrier trial?

    It is a must for every newly imported horse in HK to have a barrier trial before a race. Maybe that is a bit too much for Peacock.

    Maybe a bit off-topic but I always wonder why the Queen sold Peacock. Did the Queen sell her racehorse to foreign places in the past? Carlton House was still under the Queen’s colours when racing in Australia.

    Feels a long way off with this grim, damp weather today but I like this choice of thread topic!

    I’m looking forward, like every year to see what first season sires progeny are runners, interest in Frankel’s offspring will be massive obviously, but I loved Famous Name as a racehorse too, would love to see him have a couple of good horses.

    Hopefully no Gleneagles like can’t run him on that ground dramas, got fed up to the back teeth with that carry on last year, which was a shame as he was excellent in his first three starts.

    The Johnston and Fahey yards going close or winning the trainers championship, either would be great.

    Yes, Patrick the barrier trial
    Don’t know why the horse was sold, perhaps Hannon knew he had a dodgy tendon.
    I got the impression Hannon never really rated him. He was on the morning line a few years back and reeled off a list of his best 2 year olds at the time, he must of named between 8 and 12 horses but Peacock was not one of them. Other than Arabian Queen he got the closet to Golden Horn last season albeit over a distance short enough for the horse of the year.

    Nathan, Not a good news for Peacock.

    He was retired today, just a day after changing stable.

    A little late news about Peacock. It seems he will continue racing in New Zealand after disappearing from the public for almost 2 years.

    Profile Page at nzracing.co.nz showing Inactive, possibly due to not having a run there yet. It should be noted that he is now trained by Martin Cruz, son of HK based trainer Derek Cruz.
