Looking at tomorrows runners, I’ve noticed something that suggests maybe something isn’t quite right in the JP McManus camp….
A couple of months back, JP paid EUR 300,000 for Donaldson, a group winning horse on the flat in Germany. I’ve been waiting for him to run in the UK, and tomorrow, he finally makes his hurdling bow at Newbury. However, it appears that, rather mysteriously, the horse is now owned by an FS Williams. Is this normal practice, to buy a horse for quite a large sum of money, then sell it before it’s even had a race???
