 Re: UKRA Trainer Talk Reaction & Banter
ll I am happy because I just got my first winner in week 2. I don't care if it was a 0-75 it still feels brilliant. Interestingly the horse in question, Bad Chocolate, was only bred for fun for sentimental reasons out of a 59 rated stallion. In my game as a 4yo she has 7 wins, including 3 G1's, and 3 seconds, including breeders classic & world cup, from 10 runs. She is a complete freak and I doubt if anyone else has entered such a poorly bred animal. It's nice to know it's not an exact science. My big hope for week 3 is the silver bowl if Spanish Suprise avoids traffic problems.

 Re: UKRA Trainer Talk Reaction & Banter
I have to say I'm really impressed with my 3rd. I may have also got a 5th... I am being brave and entering that one, Oak Honduran Crystal, in the Ormonde Stakes in week 3. Chester won't be his course but he looked like he'll benefit for the extra distance so I hope he can show his best form.

 Re: UKRA Trainer Talk Reaction & Banter
Already posted on here but will again as its disappeared- heroic quest is en route for the gold cup so watch out any one who thinks its there for the taking. Just in case you want to avoid her until the big race, she's going for the never give up maiden and then the Yeats champion listed race. 2nd in the dubai gold cup over 2m when she really wants 2m4, bring it on feat ping and anyone else going for the gold cup.

 Re: UKRA Trainer Talk Reaction & Banter
Who knows what will happen at Sandown. But if there's any pace at Ascot the others might as well not turn up. I look forward to any challenge. However short lived it might be

 Re: UKRA Trainer Talk Reaction & Banter
If I'm honest the fact that my horse is a contender just 2 gens away from gamebred is enough for me.
