    TTC, according to the RP this is the owners’ first runner trained by Elliott. He seems to have a few empty boxes.

    Strange choice for Magnier to make IMO.

    She’s had all her horses with Willie or with Edward O’Grady in the past 3-4 seasons. It is a strange decision, in my opinion too. But what do we know?

    “But what do we know?”

    Well, we know our own opinions – and this is a forum for expressing opinions, regardless of who actually makes the decisions.

    I’ve kinda lost interest in the whole Gordon Elliott saga.

    Trainer confirms he treats dead horses the same way a used car dealer treats write offs by sitting on one, rightly gets a ban and is now, like it or not, back.

    I doubt if Magnier had any interest in the saga in the first place.

    Elliott’s a successful trainer, so he’s sent him a horse to train – simple as and end of.

    I’m as much surpirised that Joseph doesn’t get the Magniers rare jumpers. If it was a match between Elliott / O’Brien Jnr when this horse was getting distributed, I’d have had Elliott a long enough price.

    I’m struggling to see how further thought about this from me can lead to me backing more winners, so no further comment!

    This isn’t ‘TheDaviesForum’ quite yet marra. May occur from time to time.

    I sincerely apologise if I gave the nauseating impression I thought it was!

    But I am a bit curious as to why you actually care on this one.

    Like me, you certainly don’t look up to these people and I was trying in vain to see if there was a shrewd TTC betting angle attached to this speculation!

    Only pulling your leg mate. Nope, no betting angle. I’m just intruiged as to why The Baby Joseph doesn’t get these types from ‘The Leds’.

    As a punter, I’ve always been a fan of “the baby Joseph.”

    I thought he rode Epsom on St Nicholas Abbey, Camelot and Australia (who I had 8/1 about ante-post) with the same ice-cool as Lester Piggott on Sir Ivor, Nijinsky etc, he seems a shrewd trainer and IMO a very interesting observation from APracing about little leaving his yard and going on to better things.

    For sure, he’s had all life’s advantages but plenty squander that silver spoon edge.

    I shall watch with interest to see how “the horse he never got” gets along with Elliott.

    I wonder if Elliott has had to give a bit of discount to keep some owners , these rich business men don’t get the wedge they do without knowing how to take advantage of a situation
