The horse is by Sea the Stars out of a Saddlers Wells mare and had only 4 goes at 2000, all on a 7 day back up from a mile race and all at Flemington, has never been tried beyond that distance despite his breeding.  They could have run him in a Zipping Classic or Tancred to see how he went over 2400 but they were only interested in getting G1 wins at a 1600-2000 and making him a commercial stallion than they were in letting him achieve his best on the track.

And then we get a plonker like Jamal, who can't even tell if a horse is good unless the time form rating says so, spewing out the absolute crap like todays efforts in here, need a facepalm emoji!

Though in truth many of those imported were "promising" performers for which many people clearly paid "overs", often Aust equivalent $75,000 and more for Class 1 performers and $hundreds of thousands for soft-boned Listed place-getters.

Now now Djebel...dont get angry. Show some class please. Don't get annoyed when someone has a different view to yours. Very emotional..

Well those spending fortunes on importing, clearly expected them to more than pay for themselves but judging by the 'Imported Horses' thread, few show what they did in Europe, which tends to back up djebel's opinion.

Yep and Djebel has been found out for being far too emotional when it comes to this horse.

They can not train and develop stayers.

Look at all the European imports that come down here and make up the numbers.

As reported by Fifty Stars number 1 fan - Djebel on twitter, this horse has been retired to stud. A good career but not world class and glad he wasn't aimed at an Arc. Hopefully he can have success at stud.

He was highly competitive (even if a non-winner) last Autumn and early Winter, so is probably entitled to the benefit of the doubt regarding retirement.  Kudos to Dabernig for convincing connections to pull the pin right now.

Reckon he might have 6 weeks off before commencing an Autumn campaign and be retired if he doesn't then come up.  Just saying.

Feature Race - trainer Tom Dabernig advised Fifty Stars (IRE) will now be spelled & will not contest either the Caulfield Cup or Cox Plate.

A long time ago??  What on earth are you talking about??   He was in good form during his autumn-winter campaign.  Apart from his last 3 starts there’s been no reason to retire him at all.

But age has caught up with him this Spring, so now is the time for retirement.  He can look forward to a nice career serving mares at stud.
