erhaab1965 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 After 2 years off at the age of 12 Pawan is making a comeback for regular trainer Ann Stokell. The horse has an enormous cult following amongst horse racing fans up and down the country and tomorrow will be partnered by K Milczarek ( who recently served a ban for crooked practices ). Pawan runs off a mark of 55 , who hasn't run off a mark this low since the horse was a kid. I don't know whether its a betting proposition , probably not , however I see this jockey change as an attempt to acquaint a new jockey for a planned win later in the season. He races in the 810 Brighton tomorrow evening and I'm sure there will a piece in the Racing Post tomorrow due to his massive fan base.

3 legs and a wheel Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Re: He's back....... It's very odd. Pawan's record is hardly the stuff of legends. It's won, what, 8 races out of 160 odd starts, yet, grown men and hardened gamblers un-explainably take it to their hearts. I felt the same about The Tatling. I had a real soft spot for that horse, even though the little sod cost me more than the odd shekel. I was over the moon when it won its last race before it was retired. A real fairy-tale and well-deserved ending. It makes ya think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darran Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Re: He's back....... I think its become well known because the horse should have won more races than it has but Ann couldn't give the horse a proper ride. It probably could have won a half decent race at one stage. Will be interesting to see what ability he still has at 12 after 2 years off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lars Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Re: He's back....... Pawan's a NR. First Order failed to finish the 2:10... First Order was fatally injured, hence why Pawan didn't run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erhaab1965 Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 Re: He's back....... How can a dead horse run in a race? I don't know if the horse is dead or not . If it is dead why didn't people say the usual "..RIP..." sort of stuff like when Synchronized or Gray Pearl ( yesterday 1000 Guineas ) died. Do we value the life of a horse more if it is rated over 100 and not rate it if it is considerably less ? What warrant's the comment " ...RIP..." for Grey Pearl who only had 2 previous runs , not even a household name. I genuinely hope the horse is not dead , but if he is I think the silence may be down to the fact some people perceive it to be a " donkey " and also its trained by Ann Stokell who some on here don't rate.
