AND MAINGARD DOUBLE PLACE BOHOMIAN GROVE / AL MUTHANA 2003 / 30 ........ KACHING......

nice for the few to capitalize on my observation ......I hope Ricky Maingard is here to stay....as I think he may have bought many more nice horses at that recent RTR sale.....as us old guys still have good eyes..:dry: ..and did not think that Al Muthana had a squeak but arsed the trifecta by double floating the 1st and 2nd fav with the field as cover...

With these kind of results I'll rather go fishing on Saturdays.

Snaith stable disappointing today, got competition

......a further observation is that the going was a lot quicker towards the outside rail......Dickens looked to go to the outside when they fanned out entering the straight but Domeyer instead switched inwards costing him a few lengths and even then when making a run on the inside.... Charles still wanted to drift onto the outside......:oops:

Maingard currently has 12 horses at Milnerton and obviously needs more than that.
Mauritian owners bought six for him at the Ready To Run Sale.

He has also bought a couple of good horses in training i.e. Grade 1 Hollywoodbets Gold Challenge winner Al Muthana (Deep Field) and Street Outlaw (Master Of My Fate), whom he has always owned but who was was formerly trained by Vaughan Marshall.

He said Al Muthana had one or two issues, but hoped he will have solved them by the time of the L’Ormarins King’s Plate on January 7, which is his first big target.

Ricky, born and brought up in Mauritius, is an aeronautical engineer by profession and after studying in England he worked for a French company and ended up in South Africa.

When they asked him to return to France, he decided to resign and try his hand at training racehorses.

He started out at The Vaal in the 1970s.

Eric Sands was one of his assistants in his early days.

Success came quickly and he was soon given an opportunity to move to Summerveld, which he jumped at and stayed there for some 20 years.

Wolf Power was the horse who well and truly put Maingard on the map.

His Milnerton yard has space for a further 20 horses.....
