How can someone pay 7 million for a horse running in South Africa?
Celestial City stopped quickly there,probably a sign of injury.
Now not only has he a MR 79 horse for 7 million but probably an injured horse too.

Should go to stud to recoup losses as he is well bred

Another risk.There you got to hope his babies have skipped his ability and take after their grandparents.

Turffontein the last few weeks has punished punters mercilessly, favorites fading down the straight, closers coming through late, all my exotics gone early, ANOTHER pick 6 carryforward. You CAN'T go early unless you are White Fang -that ENDLESSLY overly long run in makes every race longer than a sprint an extended sprint. Turffontein race course is not for me anymore, I am afraid. I am done with TURFFONTEIN.

Re: TURFFONTEIN INSIDE 21 MARCH 2023
2 years 2 months agoAs a matter of interest listened to the post race interview of conditioner Sean Tarry after his ward Maboneng won the race and he did mention why Celestial City performed badly, now these type of horses are called rigs and at times or most of the times one of the testicles are not visible outside the body, sometimes they go in very deep in the body and get stuck which creates immense pain and affects their performance, pity that these kind of horses cannot be gelded as you cannot lay your hand on one of the testicles as it is hidden and there are lot of risks attached if you try the gelding operation.How can someone pay 7 million for a horse running in South Africa?

If you wish to enjoy the sunshine then you must learn to put up with a few blisters.

Not sure I get your drift - the Inside track does have a shorter straight

...missed the interview but this info explains the in and out nature of this fella and with this cannot be considered for stud duties either as very few one testicled sires have been any success ...
