Maximus Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Max never has a modicum of interest, he is in to the Maximum... as evidenced by this little doozy. Had $5 left in the account, took a Multi in the same 5 races as PJ's comp just for the hell of it but changed my picks...and then got the last-minute jitters on managing 5 in a row .. so went for '4 of 5' for a smaller return, of course .... the result ... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM I think Bjorn may well try and develop him into a late maturing stayer and pick up some black type which might increase his stallion potential three fold or more. He cost then 100,000 guineas as a failed racehorse in Ireland. They have a bit to recoup yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWJ Posted June 22, 2023 Author Share Posted June 22, 2023 Fun Fact - PJ bred Galileo's best female runner from the stallion's Southern hemisphere career (2003) - Gallant Tess, multiple Sydney Group winner and Gr1 placed in the Epsom, the Chipping Norton (to Tuesday Joy), Coolmore Classic (to Typhoon Tracy), George Main (to Mentality) and the AJC Champagne Stakes. I bought the mare privately out of a paddock in Newmarket, England for 20,000 pds stg. Met Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber later that day. Sang the part of the Pharaoh at school in Joseph & his Technicolour Dream Coat. Small world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
