That horse talked a hole in my wallet!!

Apalachee? Trained by Vincent O`brien won the Racing Post Trophy and the Middle Park Stakes and finished third to Nonoalco in the 2000 Guineas and never raced again.

Wasnt he like a 3.3mil purchase?

Candidato Roy ran well in Dubai at the then
Nad Al Sheba with MDK in '06 & '07. Kevin
Shea won a top race on him. Im sure he won or
was place in a class 2 in the UK as well.

I think I recall the UK race at 50-1 ?

Me thinks as much as we like to slag Potala Palace off for his R3.6mill purchase price, da fact is he won a group1 and is not ggelded so will be mking his money at stud. If I nt mistaken that was always the plan, as they do say he was alwats coltish..me thinks trainer talkd him up too much

I actually think he'll be ok as a sire - Had pace and heart (and big balls too I suppose - I wonder if the breeders would give him a tilt

I would think the horse would also need be successful on track
To get good mares
There are a lot of horses with better record than his
He is nominated for the July let's see how his build up towards the race goes

I not to clued up about breeding, but aparently he is vvv well bred, thus the expensive purchase price. Muhti can confirm..he already is a group1 winner, so I dnt thnk gtng mares will be an issue

What abt Special Preview. Joey said he would have won more if he was not gelded.

Fort Defiance.
