Recurring Dream

In answer to PP. Mine is 4 and had a short and unsuccessful racing career. Bleeding was his issue. But he'll make up as a nice three day horse or a field hunter. Works for me.

I'm following this horse because I have his mentally very stable and delightful half brother by Aptitude. I'm a little tired of tuning in to watch him race for one stride. They should send him to me, as he obviously doesn't want to race any more.

When is this terminal pest going to be banned from racing?

As a matter of fact, no. I didn't back him this time. I lost my cash on him at his previous start when he unseated the rider after bolting sideways at the start. I judiciously avoided him this time because of his bad behaviour. And guess what? He did exactly the same thing again. That's the third time in his last seven starts that this horse (who undoubtedly has some ability) has dumped his rider at the start. I think this horse is trying to tell his connections and the racing authorities that he has lost all interest in racing, and the sooner he is banned the better it will be for all concerned. I'm sure Eddie Castro, Irad Ortiz and the jockey who rode him this time, K.Singh, will all be glad to see this nutjob removed from the sport. This is an occupational health and safety issue. It's only a matter of time before he brings down an entire field.

They should change this horse's name to Recurring Nightmare.
