She’s a blue hen if ever I saw one.
Thanks @mickeyjp.
Slightly off topic …
CITY OF TROY’s dam TOGETHER FOREVER has three progeny by WAR FRONT.
Anybody know what has happened to Coolmore’s association with / promotion of WAR FRONT?
Horses need a lot of work going in and out of stalls, to get used to them.
The optics of seeing horses shoved into stalls isn’t ideal when we’re trying to convince people the horses are doing a job they love.
Barrier trials would be a great thing.
I remember seeing an interview with Michael Tabor when he explained Coolmore need to make stallions every year.
This was in relation to Caravaggio.
When I thought about it, I realised that their business model is to have 2/3 new stallions per year. At a covering fee of let’s say 30k, with 150 live foals that’s £4.5 million pa for three years.
At that point the progeny hit the racetrack and Coolmore move them on sharpish if the stallion doesn’t produce results. Meantime they’ve banked millions in the first three years.
Hamilton calls itself Hamilton PARK.
I don’t disagree with Wikipedia! But from my perspective, being from Scotland, it’s always been Musselburgh 😊.
Re Cork (Mallow), the racecourse is ten minutes from the town of Mallow. I remember signage that mentioned both names in various places.
I have never heard Musselburgh racecourse referred to as Edinburgh, in my lifetime.
But I can confirm, because I drove past it yesterday, that there is a sign with Gosforth next to a racehorse icon, at the side of the A1 near Newcastle 😊.

I would hardly call owning a racehorse an “investment” in the first place 😂.
Here is an interesting article on creditor recovery following the well publicised failure of Lehman Brothers.
Four horses belonging to John Dance, the owner at the centre of a fraud and money laundering probe by the City regulator, sold for a combined 130,000gns (£136,500) at the Tattersalls July Sale in Newmarket on Tuesday.
A further four horses owned by Dance – Crossfader, Dreamfeeder, Groove Nation and Mass Consumption – are set to go under the hammer in Newmarket on Wednesday.
Creditors are forecast to receive just 21p for every £1 owed to them **ouch**
