Barnhill Brownie (IRE) - Owner Mr Tony Bloom

[Set of Tracksuits]

I had the pleasure of attending Leicester Racecourse yesterday and the 14:40 had a horse by the name of Barnhill Brownie, owned by Mr Tony Bloom.

All I can say is that I hope his judgement in running a football club is better than it is at buying horses:

PU Barnhill Brownie (IRE) 11-2 t Giles Hawkins (7) P J Hobbs 6 33/1
in rear, jumped poorly, jumped very slowly 2nd and soon behind, tried to refuse 4th, jumped very slowly next, soon pulled up

Reminds me a bit of Mark McCammon.

He needs to get rid of rubbish horses like that and buy proven winners.

What happened to Desert Orchid? Is he on the market?

If he's owned it it's whole career then he should have made a nice profit.

On the market, he IS the market. Well, the glue that holds the stalls together anywhere.

That's the strange thing, previous form suggested it was a decent horse but I've never seen a more pathetic attempt to complete a hurdles course.

Seems like it's gone from being a decent prospect to an utter turdburger over a matter of months.

Maybe Albert Jarrett would have been a better analogy.

Could it have been running to reduce it's handicap mark? Especially as at 33/1 there had been little money staked on it....just a thought.

So what about the decent horses he owns like the one that won the Wokingham at Ascot, he also owns a great novice chaser in Ireland in partnership with none other than the owner of Denmam, and I think you will find one of the biggest racehorse owners in the world John Magnier owns a few duffers.

Wow.

It was just supposed to be a light hearted anecdote about a day at the races when Tony's horse had a bit of a mare (if you'll pardon the pun) not a comprehensive critique of his judgement.

Who are you, his Mum?

Oh and "next".
