You may have seen a few days ago me moan about not having a decent mare.. I had a mare that was really dreadful for me, i kept putting it in Group races and it came no where, so i decided to put it up for auction, but i had entered it in a G1 race previously before selling.. I then saw the horses name in the group 1, and it was favourite, yet everytime it ran for me, it was 40s.. It won the race and its now a group 1 winner, absolutely livid! haha

A group 1 winner, rated 40. Never mind "sods law", that really doesn't make sense!

I mean 40/1 not 40 rating sorry lol

Ahhhh, sorry - my misreading! Sods Law does apply then!

do you ever sell horses that seem to be flopping? i keep seeing horses ive sold racing in group 1s, but fortunately not winning.. yet.

I have seen a horse I bred, raced twice then sold get Horse of the year 3 years running. Lost count of how many G1s it has won.

I guess patience is a virtue I do not possess.

I used to have patience, I managed to get a win less 3yo filly to be a monster 4yo and up an earn $20million in the process, but now I totally suck at it. I started a new game, bred two Group 1 winners and I got a sprinter who couldn't win cos he wouldn't settle so I gelded him, still wouldn't settle so I sold him and what happens next? He wins 5 Group 1's straight including French and Irish Guineas (tired to 4th in the English).

ouch glad i'm not the only one who's making these mistakes!
