On ATR right now.

Thanks, I'll have to see the replay when I get home, slightly shocked from the description:

Midday, the choice of stable jockey Tom Queally, looked sure to score when going a length to the good at the furlong pole, but she started to drift off a true line and Ian Monfgan galvanised Twice Over for one final effort and it was enough to snatch the spoils.

Redboard alert. I heard one of the chaps on the Sporting Life radio program describe why he thought Await whatever was far too low in the market and why the bet should be Twice Over. He convinced me, I bet him and made enough to pay for the day's stupid bets (Namidian!).

Wednesday turned out to be a high-point. Keep thinking too much. First instinct was to back Talwar to win in the Solario (lone speed, softish course) but talked myself out of it. Similar story when looking to back Duncan both ways in the Lonsdale, then backed the wrong 9yo to place (Blue Bajan instead of Bergo). Sigh, it's only money.

Happy retirement to Hali...

http://mickchannon.tv/page/features

Nice vid feature on his last day with Mick and I had to wait to actually watch it cause I knew I'd be crying like a moron...

Halicarnassus ran 71 times (51 stakes races)... Dubai, Italy, Japan, Turkey... a world traveler, grand old warrior... he'll stand in Turkey where he made his final start.

I'll miss him.

Oh they won't mind of I copy it...

Yea!

MICK IS DELIGHTED, WE UNINTENTIONALLY LIED - HALICARNASSUS IS BACK!

To a list that includes Lazarus, Frank Sinatra, Muhammad Ali, Elvis Presley, Bobby Ewing & even Luke Harvey, you can now add HALICARNASSUS.

You really couldn't make it up!

He arrived back at West Ilsley early this morning, in spite of our much heralded fond goodbye last week when he headed out to Turkey to compete in the Bosphorus Cup before remaining there as a Stallion.

We only achieved half of the job however!

Mick is delighted but we're not sure about a horse who was no doubt enjoying the sunshine and the prospect of a change of pace. His trainer on the other hand loves his sport.

"Ha ha ha! I knew the quarantine laws wouldn't let me down! There's a million restrictions and he's had to return to us before going back which is bloody stupid but also why we had him provisionally booked on yesterday's flight just in case.

"The Atman Family are happy if we can keep Halicarnassus happy so we may have jumped the gun with announcing that he'll never see a racetrack again! He's back, fine and well and will be off to Turkey once we've jumped through a few more hoops with the quarantine officials.

"He ran a super race in the Bosphorus Cup and battled all the way home against some quality opposition. Age has blunted his speed a fraction but that's not a crime and we'll see how he is in the next few weeks.

"He's a nightmare to lock in a box and I wouldn't be surprised if he was out racing sooner rather than later. It's an added bonus I suppose so we apologise for the false information - it wasn't our intention to mislead!"
