Mr Bridge may not talk much, but he is dedicated to his work, his stable and his horses. Exceptional for a man of his age. He is now inspecting Classic Sales yearlings. Incredible character and work ethics !
A horse that inspired me to go big on horse ownership. The two better ones, or possibly best in terms of earnings, Southern Legend and Classique Legend have earned A$20M so far. A great stallion !
Our “little engine that could” Not A Single Doubt stood his first 6 seasons at $12,500 but will sign off from the mountain-top. His final crop conceived at $100,000 averaged $589,091

inc. colts sold for $1.7m & $1.1m. Thank you Singles, we love you to bits!
Prize money is next to nothing while training cost is comparable or higher than Australia. Why would anyone want to own a horse there, I keep asking myself.
Jockey John Egan after Chester was abandoned.
“At the end of the day, the poor owner has to bear the brunt of it all the time; & we’re lacking them at the minute; they are getting out of the game due to prize money. I think the game is in massive, massive trouble at the minute.”
Of the 8 purchased, I like this four colts better. They are Lord Kanaloa, Shalaa, Pierro and Zoustar. Grateful to J Sadler assisting and MM for the excellent hospitality extended to us.
The tough luck started with the barrier draw. He was completely boxed in soon after jumping out, couldn’t move out, couldn’t move back to circle out. At 300 meters the horse was fed up. Nobody’s fault but just my bad luck to get barrier one.

you can read all the stats at the relative sites & make your own informed decision
Bad Luck happens in racing all the time & that is what happened to Classique Legend today
He got stuck in between the 2nd & 3rd placed horses in the straight & got squeezed out
simple as that
I can only get an Everest Slot if I am willing to buy second hand and give others a profit. Those interested in racing paying to those with less interest in order to participate. Not right !

Outstanding musician. Walk hand in hand as well as many others. As a 67 year old staying in Chengdu, I sing these songs regularly in my restaurant. Simply love it. Don’t forget Yesterday.
Wow... What a performance from Classique Legend! The promising 3-year-old absolutely smashed them at

scandal with cops posting racist things and threatening to kill Blacks on social media, this deranged Phoenix cop pointed his gun & threatened to murder a pregnant Black mother because her 4-yr-old toddler "stole" a Barbie from a dollar store.
These are not peaceful demonstrators as claimed by the western media. They all wear face masks to hide their identity and commit serious crimes. Watch the video to understand.
Hong Kong police have claimed that the illegal demonstration at airport on August 13 was not “PEACEFUL” protest but instead violence, vowing to strictly enforce the law and fully investigate the illegal violent actions.
#HongKong
It is not necessary to wear face masks if you demonstrate peacefully. But they do.
No other jurisdictions would allow their police force to take such a punishment. They claim they are there for freedom. Occupy central for 3 months, occupy airport ? No freedom ?

Not necessarily so, the virus has by now mutated to a less harmful strain giving way to the possibility of relaxing the current very strict controls
