Anyone have any news on the sales of music drive and minella crooner today?

Probably bought privately by another of Gordon's owners, and then pulled from the sale.

Hopefully the new owner is revealed shortly, as the horse is entered next week in a Grade 1.

I'm quietly confident they've gone to JP. He looks pretty weak in the staying novice division and probably wants to have something running for him at Cheltenham. Music Drive would slot into a handicap for him too.
 
….sad to read Cue Card has passed away following a heart attack.

Very sad to hear. He was a great horse. I started watching racing from 2011 and he was one of those horses that when he ran I had to back. RIP Cue Card.

Boys and girls, as we come to Christmas, both CH and GDC look bombproof with both Jonbon and FV just behind. Multis have to have these as their banker legs with one or two other value selections, surely?

….Galla des Liteaux? Into 14-1 with Hills for Mares Chase, 4-1 with them to win on Monday, 40-1 to win Monday & MC (I think that might get a haircut).

Still there, 44.82-1 with the boost.
 
Think Paul Kealy put her up so may be behind some of the market confidence. It’s a no bet race for me, seems a very trappy race, would have liked the other Skelton horse to have been declared.
 
Done a double tonight with WH.
Horse in the states was 13/8 and fest horse was 12/1.
Horse in the states won at 9/4 so called WH on live chat to see if it was BOG as didn’t say.
After 30 mins the girl said as of 28th Sept UK and Irish racing BOG are not until 10am on the day. I said to her I’m talking states racing tonight. Getting no reply I said I’m losing the will to live and would a better reply if I banged my head against the wall. 2hrs later they phone me to check my health
