Just won a share in the Laddies Poker Two horse (€25 freezeout) - anyone got any idea what it means? Was just playing for fun, so no idea what it means!

You might get a better response in the Horse racing forum. You want me to move it there?

not sure, whatever you think yourself. was thinking that someone on here might have won a share and would know what it was worth...

5starpool

meh, I'll leave it here then as it was poker related sorta. I'm not pushed either way either.

Shares in the horse, which includes the value we bought him for plus stable, trainer and vet fees, is $1,000 each and there are 200 shares up for grabs.

do you think i'll get the grand out of it?!

Value doesn't necessarily equate to return, even I know that and I know crap all about the gee gees. It obviously depends on results, so since it seems fees are included in the initial prize, then all prizemoney should be split an even way into 1000 pieces. I'd say it is more of a gimmick than a potential real money earner.

either do they by the looks of it;

The Filly cost €110,000. She was sired by ‘Choisir’, a great sprinter which achieved major success at Royal Ascot in 2003. Choisir broke Ascot's six-furlong record with a scintillating run to win the Golden Jubilee Stakes and the Australian horse landed a Royal Ascot double having also triumphed in the King's Stand Stakes. The dam is 'Break Of Day' by Favorite Trick.

The horse will be aimed at the excellent 2007 Goffs Million two year old race or filly race each with €1,000,000 to the winner, to be held at the Curragh in September. This race is exclusively for horses purchased at the prestigious Goff Orby Sales.

All training fees and other costs for one year are covered by Ladbrokes Poker, and at the end of the promotional period the horse will be sold (around the end of the flat season) – even if it’s the winter favorite for the Derby!

Id be interested to hear what mistake you see. Spit it out.

Because you'll then say a filly can run in the Irish Derby, right ?

Although I agree, I don't think this is what they meant as I've never seen a winter favourite for the Irish Derby.

ok lesson learned. I now see that fillies can also enter the English Derby. pwned.

half truths.

edit - i should expand. Fillies can run in the Epsom Derby - I think Godolphin ran one in it maybe 7/8 yrs ago - cant rem its name, think it had won the 100og in convincing style. It should also be noted that a filly has won the epsom derby 6 times (maybe 7 - im not arsed to check)

Cape Verdi, 1000gns winner, actually started Derby fav in the end, ran poorly.
