Weapons Amnesty!

MoscowFlyer

He is back tomorrow!! Runs for the first time in 1017 days!! Had such a bright future but unfortunately injuries have put a halt to that. Will be interesting to see how he goes anyway!

Lets all cheer him on!

Pandorama runs tomorrow too. I was at Leopardstown the time they had that great scrap, it has been bad luck for both since.

BTW I had a dream Pandorama won the Lexus tomorrow so having a small bet.

Will have to throw a few quid on both these lads tomorrow.

Weapons Amnesty set me up for a great Paddy's Day in 2010 when he landed the RSA at 10/1.

Never actually won anything off Pandorama but if he's come back near his old form you'd have to say he's overpriced. Loves the mud and the course.

Flemenstar still the lump job though!

Pity about him retiring. Had the potential to go on to bigger things. Happy retirement.

This is the sickening part of the sport, a talented horse who has been off for a long time makes a reappearence and then gets injured or worse.

Could have been remembered as one of the best

Pity when you see horses not realising their potential, the list is endless

I always shiver when I think what Nick Dundee could have achieved. Running all over Looks Like Trouble in the 1999 RSA, Williamson said he'd have won by 30l. Carberry looking over his shoulder to see were there threats for 2nd a long way from home. Think LLT finished a serious distance clear of the eventual 2nd

Golden Cygnet was before my time, who I'm assured was something out of the ordinary so Nick Dundee is the one I always lament

It's a testiment to both Paul Nicholls and the horse himself that Kauto Star achieved so much after a season ending injury as a novice chaser

The one that always comes to mind for me is Montelado, probably cos had a nice wedge on him the day he won the Supreme in what I believe remains a record time. Convinced he'd have won 2 champion hurdles at least, if injury hadn't struck.
French Ballerina was another good one that met a bitter end, terrible double dose for Pat Flynn, one of the most decent guys in the game

Fritzl Funderland

had weapons backed when he won at the festival few years back. Voler la Vedette retired also today

And they both had Williamson in common, the blight

Monsignor made a holy show of Best Mate in the Tolwort Hurdle

Enjoyed watching that horse racing. Shame we won't see him out on the course again.

Harry Angstrom

Carobee is the one that sticks out in my mind. He was a brilliant novice hurdler until he got injured and we never saw him again.

Dawn run..what a horse.even though she had already realised her potential. I still,and many others, blame charmain hill for her death in the french champion hurdle. She ran the horse even against paddy mullins wishes, mayby greed,who knows. I seen her beating buckhouse in punchestown in a special "match" race. Fantastic memories of a truly great little mare.
