greg,

good question.

I reckon that maybe there is a current trainer (vaal based) that is 2/1 BUT if i give it a bit of thought then i would like to get on gunter wrogemann at any price.

Has had injury problems, rides at a heavy weight, knows kimberley,getting near retirement age so for me he is the obvious candidate

from what i know when don decided to ride post injury he did so without insurance and therefore it became a very dangerous game and he hung up his boots.

I stand corrected but i think this is pretty close to what happened

Tara Garatt could be one to take over??? She is an excellent trainer, if she decides to take on Flamingo?

She would be silly to leave PE though, especially for the brutal climate (hot and cold) of Kim?

They could send her(Tara) more grass horses and make PE their base for the second string- Leave off racing million rand horses in the sand for pennies and give the smaller stables a chance

Ok, where are the conspiracy theorists.....Is Flamingo Park racing crooked as well? I mean an odds on favourite lost ground at the start so I guess Hennie pulled the horse up???

Who will bite first?
