Where has
Evasive
Delegator
Kingsfortgone to?
Does anyone have any iota what the plans for these Horses are or are they even still in Training?
CRACKING idea for a thread.
I’ll throw in
Modeyra
Wedding March
LoveisallyouneedAll backed ante-post for the Oaks but AWOL.
Kingsfort is injured I think and will probably be fit later in the season.
I know Delegator has some entries at Royal Ascot but couldn’t be sure why he hasn’t been out yet.
Heard nothing about Evasive.
Anyone know if Patkai is running this year? Or Monsieur Chevalier?
Evasive was always a horse that interested to me.
Simply just fell off the face of the earth.
Simon De Montfort? Seems a big talking Horse never seen it ran but would love to know plans for it
Patkai is injured i think
That Hannon horse who i am not going to spell has a few Royal Ascot spring options
Any news on Overdose backed him for Ascot heard no news about him.
I’ve been meaning to publish an interview I did with Sandor Ribarski earlier this month on my website – I still haven’t got round to doing it yet, but the gist of it was that I went to Berlin racecourse on May 9th as Overdose was due to run. Unfortunately, he was withdrawn after I had booked the flight, but I went over anyway and was delighted to speak to Ribarski at the meeting. He actually had 4 runners that day – a 2nd, two 3rds and a 4th prove that he is actually not just a one-horse trainer. We then got to the subject of Overdose, at which point he showed me a photo of Overdose and his hoof. I nearly cried – it looked awful, but Ribarski said it was much better now. I then asked him the $64,000 question – What is the plan for Overdose? Knowing I’m from the UK, he said ‘You’ll have to come back to Germany to see him this season. He’s just not fit enough to do himself justice in these big races in England. The plan is to stay in smaller races this season in Germany, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia’. I also got the impression that the reason for this was that Ribarski wanted to keep Overdose unbeaten throughout his career.
On Friday, I saw that Overdose had been entered in a group 3 race in Berlin this coming Sunday. Unfortunately, he’s been taken out of the race today. But just when I though that was it, I’ve received some SENSATIONAL NEWS that has actually got a tear rolling down my face!! HE’S BACK!!!!
I can exculsively reveal (well, I think it’s exclusive, anyway!!), that Overdose is set to run this coming Sunday, June 6th in a race that translates as the Grand Prize of the Ministry of Agriculture. It’s over 6 furlongs (1200 metres) in Bratislava, Slovakia, and carries national Group 1 status, however this is generally regarded as international Group 3/Listed class. Overdose won this race in 2008, and this pretty much falls into line of what Ribarski told me earlier this month.
Having spent a few minutes in his company. I really like Sandor Ribarski. He’s a slightly rotund chap, doesn’t take the heat too well, is incredibly passionate when his horses run, and simply loves the sport. Blimey – I think we might be related!!!!
Now this is a real longshot but does anyone know where James Given’s Tartatartufata has gone? (hope I’m spelling correctly)
I know she has been below form lately, so I assume the paddocks?
Evasive was always a horse that interested to me.
Simply just fell off the face of the earth.
Well named then
I missed all this talk of Overdose but was only thinking of him today; what happened on Sunday?
Overdose, missed Ascot due to not being quite 100% from his injury, plans were scrapped of that engagement in Bratislava previously mentioned in this thread, and now trainer Zoltan Mikoczy says an x-ray showed no further problems after a re-shoeing, he was still sensitive and has missed a weeks work, he will unfortunately not be coming over to England for the July Cup, but the trainer does remain hopeful he can get him to england safely for the Nunthorpe and/or Beftfred Sprint Cup at Haydock. Mikoczy also said they may scrap plans for the Prix de Hampton at Maisons-Laffitte for a smaller 5f race in Munich.
