The Worst Horse In Training?

Francie Barrett · 15-05-2017 8:36pm #1

I have seen some bad horses on the track down through the years but I am not sure I have seen one as bad as what's going out tomorrow.

A Definite Diamond runs in a class 5 handicap tomorrow in the 7:10 at Chepstow and has a handicap rating of just 1. In the seven runs it's had previously, it has finished last on every occasion. In fairness though, it has shown some improvement - on its last occasion, it only finished 31 lengths behind the leader.

With a horse like that, you just have to wonder why even bother keeping it in training? It's so bad, it'll never win any sort of race and given that you can buy proven horse that are already in training for as little as ?5000 that will have some sort of chance at winning a poor race - why bother?

A horse in the mould of Pack Your Bags, eh? Someone should inform Kauto. I wonder when they'll let the handbrake off, it'll rack up a sequence!

Guy that lives near me has a share in a horse with Eugene O Sullivan. Won 2 races in the space of 10 days in 2015. Hasnt won since. Been switched over hurdles and fences but no joy with it.

Half of the horses that cant win a race dont even get fed, send any horse the likes of Rothwell trains and give it to Elliot or Mullins and they will get 2 stone improvement minimum out of it, youknowhatimeanharry and clondaw warrior are prime examples of horses with trainers that couldnt train a pig to roll in ****.
