        The chances of Quevega foaling a horse good enough to win a Cheltenham Festival race are so small.

        12/1 best price now for the Bumper.

        I'd probably take 12/1 on her to 'ever foal a festival winner', but I'm not sure that'd be good value either

        • Classic Getaway is entered up in 2 hurdle races
          however, I do not see an entry for Grangeclare West
          I am hoping he is been held back for this
          Hopefully not an injury

            You’d have thought they would have entered him in some bumpers if they were thinking that.

            To me I think he’s probably got some sort of injury unfortunately

                The chances of any horse foaling one good enough are smaller though! [not a statement on the price]

                  You wouldn't have a clue how to birth a horse. No amount of wikipedia or youtube is gonna help you.

                    Obviously I will now be looking into it.
                    how to do it - of course
                    as I’ll never get round to doing it.
                    once hatched a chick though

                    • Turns out it’s mainly just observing
                      I can handle that

                          If we ever get around to that Fatjockey horse I think it has just been named

                            I could well imagine unless the sire’s name is/was Galileo, you’d get 12/1 and the rest on any horse siring a Cheltenham festival winner/ Grade 1 on the flat……!!

                              quevega sired by
                              robin des champs

                              no wonder the Mullins expect a lot.
                              got to be muggy not to back it I reckon
                              It’s a certainty

                                Backed very much Quevega a month back.

                                I wasn’t suggesting his value, more so it’s probable double figures that any sire father’s a festival winner - there’s an awful lot of sires and an awful lot of foals born every year who don’t even make it to ‘maiden hurdle’ stage.

                                Sholokhov is the sire I always like to keep any eye on going forwards - progeny including Shishkin & Bob Olinger might mean level stakes profits going forwards on foals born from this gent potentially.
