<br>flamboyant owner terry ramsden
March 30, 2007 at 16:39 #49937I think his brief comeback was heavily dependant on the unlikely notion of Royal Atalza winning the Grand National.
March 30, 2007 at 20:52 #49939Last time I heard he was being sued for the return of a mere million quid – that was some six months ago – not a lot seems to have changed for him by the looks of things.

March 30, 2007 at 21:19 #49942<br>Whatever happened to Keen Leader?
Never heard anything after his owner passed on…
March 30, 2007 at 22:28 #49944Terry Ramsden owns majority of the horses trained by Geoff Huffer in Newmarket…
If I remember rightly, Keen Leader was retired aand is now hunting….I am sure I can find out for you…..(just emailed someone who works at the yard)

March 30, 2007 at 23:08 #49945Ramsden seems to have the unique ability of making large amounts of people give him money.
Following his prison sentence and bankruptcy, he reappeared investing in various low-cap technology companies who’s share prices subsequently headed north – if only briefly. Was this based on his previous financial acumen, which included p*ssing away 150 million in a few months?
He always seems capable of scraping together a few ‘mill’ at short notice yet seems to have all the financial ability of Nick Leeson.
Who are these people who bankroll him?
And more importantly, how can I befriend them?

March 31, 2007 at 00:20 #49946I was watching the repeats of the 1990’s Grand Nationals on RUK yesterday and after watching 1996 I was thinking what happened to Encore Un Peu. He ran a great race behind Rough Quest but I can’t remember hearing too much about him afterwards.
April 1, 2007 at 01:29 #49948There was very little else to see or hear of him after that effort, Pat. He made his seasonal reappearance in the following year’s Racing Post Chase, finished a 38l – and very, very lame – fifth to Mudahim, and never raced again.

April 1, 2007 at 19:06 #49949Mike – if you befriend him do ask him if he’s after a young, female, racing manager would you?? :biggrin:
April 3, 2007 at 11:04 #49950I’m after a young female racing manager – not got any horses but still after one ;)
April 12, 2007 at 22:40 #49951I have just recieved a email from Jackdaws, and this is what it said:
Dear Karen
Thank you for your email. Keen Leader has been retired and is currently<br>at Jackdaws Castle out at grass. He is ridden out occasionally and is<br>enjoying his retirement.
Kind regards,
Lucy Langdale

Thanks for this. He will go down as a big underacheiver but it’s great to hear that he is enjoying life.
