May not be but people will know of his quality.

The more I think about it the more I think that it was such a pity Mozart only got a year at stud. He could have been an absolutely fantastic sprint stallion

How Aussie Rules doing as a stallion? I always liked him as a racehorse.

The Dandy man's foals sold well in goffs last week also.

Of the 22 on offer only 1 was not sold and 1 withdrawn.

So 20 sold at an average of €20,395 for a modest €3,500.

Not exactly setting the world alight. Just checked,2 group 3 winners and five listed winners.

His first crop 2yr olds did well but they did not train on as 3yr olds this year and he has been sold to stand in the Uk. He's a nice option to give you a nice two yr old but a bit on the short side.

Zoffany was a bleeder.

I don't ever remember zoffany bleeding..! His wheels were a problem tho

**UrbanSea** · 02-12-2011, 22:28

Roderic O'Connor was the worse campaigned horse ever after his Guineas win

JimDeChamp · 03-12-2011, 07:18

I totally agree but he wasn't the only horse badly campaigned, alot of horses were ran just for the sake of running them, alot were ran over the wrong trip, to me alot were disappointing also....!

**UrbanSea** · 03-12-2011, 14:07

Why he was put in the Irish Derby is beyond me, just like using Treasure Beach as a pacemaker in the Arc

Huntthe · 03-12-2011, 16:04

He's a grp1 winner at 2 and a classic winner and he looks the part in the flesh, taller than you'd think seeing as Joe O'B was riding him.

JimDeChamp · 04-12-2011, 07:32

Hold on here now, Roderic is by no means big, he's a nice horse but one thing he's not is big....!

I thought when he ran in the Irish Derby he looked quite small running around at the back of the field. On looking at the race again he looks slightly smaller than most of the field but his stride seemed shorter than the others which made him look smaller. What do you think ?

First I heard of it, the horse seemed top class until his last few races. Was it a recent thing and if so why didn't the anti-bleeding drugs he would have run on in the USA improve his performance?

JimDeChamp · 04-12-2011, 13:54

Roderic wouldn't look out of place in dingle...! Zoffany never bled, he couldnt run fast enough to bleed. I honestly would love to know where some people come up with these ideas...!
