Chopper Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 We don't seem to have a thread looking forward to the Oaks Or Derby guys especially with you all going to york next week and the big trials there it would be interesting to here peoples views. After watching the trial from saint cloud today i didnt think that Visindar looked that impressive he beat what was on show decisively but didn't look like he was going away at the end of the race. But that got me thinking back to his sire Sinndar who never 01Oct00Lon12GdG1,576K8-111/101½L, Egyptband[6/4] 8-8 Johnny Murtagh— — 130 10Sep00Lon12Gd3yG2,38K9-21/68L, Crimson Quest[30/100J] 9-2 Johnny Murtagh— — 125 02Jul00Cur12Y3yG1,385K9-01/119L, Glyndebourne[11/10F] 9-0 tJohnny Murtagh125 134 132 10Jun00Eps12Gdcl13yG1,609K9-01/151L, Sakhee[7/1] 9-0 tJohnny Murtagh— 126 127 14May00Leo10GF3yG3,28K9-41/4hd, Bach[7/4J] 8-11 tJohnny Murtagh— 114 115 16Apr00Leo10Sft3yL,13K9-52/4hd, Grand Finale[5/2] 8-12 tJohnny Murtagh— — 118 19Sep99Cur8Sft2yG1,104K9-01/8hd, Murawwi[7/1] 9-0 tJohnny Murtagh— 71 104 05Sep99Cur8GF2y,4K9-21/131½L, Rainbow And Gold[EvensF] 9-2 Johnny Murtaghreally got the credit he deserved :- He won the 2 derbys english and irish as well as the arc de triomph beating good horses like sakhee and montjeu. He never showed an electric turn of foot so wasn't hyped as much as other horses. Therefore could Visindar be the same ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sensibleboy Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Re: Visindar chip of the old block ??? You are correct mate. Visindar could be anything. He is trained by the best middle distance trainer in Europe in Andre Fabre and he doesnt really talk horses up for nothing. I couldnt bet on it at 3/1 but it probably is the one to beat as a french horse is not 3/1 for the derby for no reason. Meaning, it could be pretty special.
