Yes to say we were happy with £400K is an understatement. Weve always thought he was smart but didnt imagine he would get near that figure. The other 5 sold well as well getting aroun £150K so a good day.Comment

Any ideas who Gordon bought Grand Roi for?? That’s some serious wonga, is he worth that much??Originally posted by billymag View PostComment

Not sure which owner has bought him but they must really of wanted him, they were bidding against JP (and Nicky) and we were very pleasantly surprised he went for that much. Is any gelding worth that much! But we wish the new owner lots of fun and success with him.Comment

Obviously fees like that are more and more common now, more so with PTP recruits, but that did make me raise an eyebrow today!Comment

Nicky knows what hes got and he was driving the bidding (albeit with JPs money) so interesting to see how his career pans out. Thats one of the things i love about the Million in Mind is seeing how the horses go in the next phase of their career.Comment

That's the sort of bidding you'd see from someone like Darren Yates. I'm not sure many others would have been taking on JP and Nicky at that kind of money for a horse such as Grand Roi.Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more I sweat, the luckier I get.Comment

It's got to be Cheveley or Noel Moran surely?Comment

It’s an owner that’s already in Gordons yard, not that it narrows down much!Comment

Great result! How is the 400k split between members and does that mean a nice profit for all the owners?Originally posted by billymag View PostComment

Depending on the how much we get back its split, I always roll mine over and pay the top up fee for the next year usually around £1k. Some years theres nothing to pay and you get a bit back on top also. Not sure how it will work for the current season as we are awaiting settlement. I couldnt speak highly enough of the syndicate the way its run and the value for money, its not really a huge punting syndicate though coz of the nature of the horses. Nearly all are brought along slowly with the intention of educating them for their future.Comment
