Definitiely the best 2yo Wachman has (for what its worth), and looked promising last time out in France… might want more at this point though…

<br>Dont forget Rabatash!

<br>Shadow Leader Posted on 10:48 pm on Oct. 9, 2006 <br>I just can’t agree with so many people about HRE – I think he is a fantastic colt; a big, strong type who looks like he should mature well from 2 to 3 (IMO, naturally).  I never, ever back 2yos for Classics but broke that rule earlier in the season when taking 33 about HRE before Ascot for the 2000 Gns next season, I was so taken with his debut.  Apart from his disappointing run at Royal Ascot I haven’t seen anything since that would make me wish I hadn’t backed him for next year.

HRE is not a big horse, hes actually a very small powerfully built horse which really would make him a better 2yo than a 3yo. Its true that you dont want a horse to grow from 2 to 3 but to just fill out, but you generally want them to be a good size going out to winter. He is clearly a nice horse but he has not shown the exceptional ability that george washington showed at 2 and I find him to be a hard horse to place for next year.

I reckon rabatash, on form and breeding looks almost certain to stay 7f (and a mile next year), kinane rode him in the phoenix as if he wouldnt stay, and gave everything else first run, which i didnt really understand, but he came out next time and won going away. I wouldn’t be totally surprised if he goes for the 2,000/french 2,000 guineas next year. Ive followed him every race, as Wachmans heavily backed debutante horses are usually worth sticking with.

My internet is down and am just in an internet cafe which has the racing post site blocked but i think Hes a decoy is by In the wings, which could make him a horse for the racing post trophy (if teofilo doesnt go), it also means he should make a better 3yo but next year he may struggle in group1 company with Teofilo about.

I was following a Wachman horse last year called Heatseeker and he seemed to just vanish, i dont know whats happened to him.
