    A few years ago when P Harris was the trainer I enquired about having a quarter share in a 40 grand yearling and was quoted 25 grand, needless to say I didn’t bother, the horse didn’t win a penny prize money despite several runs.

    I think they make sure they get a good profit whatever happens to the horse, they do have their own private chopper after all. I think much better value can be found elsewhere.

    I’ve heard the same and they are very expensive, is it just a coincidence that all the best horses seem to be owned by Mrs P Harris?

    I find the originator of this thread to be very much spot on with his assessment of compo.

    I find it strange that any horse racing fans would find it acceptable for anyone to regularly hand over to the commentator after they have run half a furlong, if something is left or slowly away we would be none the wiser unless we had spotted it ourselves.

    As for Chapman, he shouldn’t be allowed near a microphone.<br>
