Weekends Racing - Tiger Roll

[MurphysMinder]

They are still running him in the XC race at Cheltenham Festival the cynic in me thinks that might have been the plan all along. I wonder what weight Mr O'Leary thinks would be fair and I question if it is fair to think about running a 12 year old in the National. The trainer did not think the weight was unfair so who knows!!

Red Rum was 12 when he won the National for the 3rd time. Not that I think Tiger Roll should run, I wish they would retire him .

It’s ok, they’ll be able to sell him to a slaughter house when he’s done, like their others. There’s a few quid in him yet. ?

Surely a horse as well known as he is will get rehomed to be retrained or possibly as companion by one of the racehorse charities?

His owners have already said he will retire to live at home with their other high profile horses but why let the truth interfere with all the gossip ?

You’d have thought that of some of the others as well, GE is just a horse disposal unit.

Red Rum not only won at 12 when the fences were much bigger and much more unforgiving but he did it with 12st on his back.
