Day 2 of searching for those shiny needles…
THINTHREAD from Day One, GORDON GREY added to the team yesterday evening. By “evening”, I mean nearly the wee small hours before the gavel thundered down in our favour…
Hard yards. Up and down that hill. Some crossed off our list as soon as they stride, or should I say “hobble”, out of their stables. Others catching the eye immediately and getting two big ticks on their page. Vets engaged to see what the eye cannot behold. Vaccinations checked for eligibility for desert forays….
“Who else is on him….??”…..
“I’m afraid he’s going to be perfect for Australia…”
“The Bahrainis have had him vetted too….”
“His breathing needs a tweak….”
“That lump on his joint is something of nothing…”
Time does not rage by as each Lot is subjected to the full theatrics from the auctioneer’s rostrum. Spinning out the show. Filling the hours. Dragging the day…
THINTHREAD has been sold. To a couple of families who will thoroughly enjoy the Bahrain gig. Welcome back aboard Paul….!!
GORDON GREY is FOR SALE. A gorgeous grey 5-year-old son of Australia who has won his last four races. Including the Amateur and Lady Rider Derbys at Epsom. An Epsom specialist to be trained by the Derby start – that works…
He will be on the Bahrain team for the winter and is a horse that I have been following for months. Absolutely delighted to have him as part of the Middle Eastern gang…
55,000 Guineas. So many options with him. For sale as a whole or to syndicate partners…
What will Day 3 bring….??
