Didn't know where to position this thread - so decided on my own playground
Over the years have often heard whispers / rumours about dodgy practices at the Sales. From unsound horses , to running up bids, to buying & selling back, to never really ever buying , to big studs playing funny buggers, to crime syndicates just laundering money. How much truth is there in any of this stuff ?

Lindsay Park (amongst others) refuse to release the horses veterinary records when a horses leaves there stable for someone else. What are they hiding?

I wondered the same & thought it very poor for the industry, particularly in comparison to Darley & their oft mentioned transparency.
Oneone, in a word "yes" with examples scattered amongst the various threads - good luck if you can find any |

Not unlike buying a house, the vendor or his agent will not inform you of any defects, such as rising damp or termites in neighbourhood. in Latin, "caveat emptor" , let the buyer beware .

I bet the likes of Carioca, Bonjour, and Second Chance ( just off the top of my head ) could fill a book with stories on this subject.

No Acacia. I wouldn't cast that shadow over a fellow TBV member. Perish the thought. I just thought that TJ being a man about town in the bloodstock game he would have come across plenty of shonks

a ton of truth. I often think I should have blackmailed a few people involved, with what I know. But it's pretty common knowledge and probably would only bring in ten bob... |
