Will Hall Of Famer Run Again

By Pradeep | 13-Jun-2017
Dear All,
We wrote & heard a lot for BE SAFE after his debacle post Indian Derby. S.Ganpathy was criticised to it's ultimate level.Now tongues are not wagging against Paddu for a pathetic show of multi classic winning filly HOF going down to second last position in a race on Sunday.
She ran a good mock race & came from behind to finish a good fourth to get the feel of track & in actual failed miserably.Only doubt is that will HOF run again in life on track after the dismal show beyond all imaginations?

Hall of famer is an ordinary horse. Paddu was a lucky derby winner. He was lucky she just peaked before the derby and outpaced Ab ordinary field bearing the best miler in the country the serjeant who did not stay and another filly temerity who was given a pathetic ride.
Hall of famer is finished. You can forget about her and Padmanabhan fir a while now. She will never win a race again.

Cheers

Paddy is famous for taking punters for a ride.
But why is the club not questioning him,and the owner.

I agree with Gavin.Just a preparatory run.

She looked gross and lethargic. She is not disgraced when she ran in soft underfoot condition. As Gavin rightly pointed out she is better off over a longer galloping space. Trainer Paddy is a clever trainer. When she is ready to strike, she will be partnered by David Allan.

Cheers.

Seeing Paddy for a long time. I am always doubtful about this blood vessels broken business. Though it may be normal how on earth this happens to very good horses and that too when they are hot fav. He will race HOF for 1 or 2 races at Bangalore against good horses and finish nowhere and the shift the horse to Hyderabad or Kolkota and win couple of races at good odds and retire to stud.

Hall Of Famer will be in perfect health . Paddy will see to it.

It ran the race with other intention's / planning in mind. Many connections are adopting this tactic to help the club financially. This is a way adopted by many big connections as their contribution to help the club get back to normal, financially.

The results and the win amount's speak for themselves.

Don't be suprised when it will win in another race above 1600 mtrs, or without

HOF broke a blood vessel in the Invitation. The mock race was just to judge how well she has recovered from that setback. This was obviously a preparatory run. She could not have been set to target this race against SA and that too over his pet distance of 1600. Her target will be a long distance race if she has come back well from this race.
