[VVV] Over the years we've been handled by one or two.Originally Posted by Danno
We once had a moderate 3yo gelding that was in work with a large stable and only found out he was in to race that day by reading the form guide in the morning paper. On another occasion we made a point of calling ahead and organised to go out on early a Saturday morning to watch a filly I had go through her work. The bloke geared up down in the stabling area, came out & whizzed around for a piece, we sat in the grandstand and watched, I said to my Dad that geeze she's bulked up and grown a piece since I last saw her...only to realise when it got closer that not only was it the wrong horse but it was a colt or a gelding as well. The bloke had no idea which horse was ours. He'd left my filly back at his stables at home. I also know of an owner who continued to get training/agistment bills for his horse for some 3 months after it had died.
