I am sure Persian Punch was a much loved horse and the last thing they would have wanted was for him to suffer a premature death.<br />Can you please choose your words a bit better, and let's have less matter-of-fact bluntness or we won't have any horseracing left in 10 years time. tag:blog.racingint.com,2011-06-14:10259727 kdavid 2011-06-14T11:11:24Z 2011-06-14T11:11:24Z Hi there<br /> <br /> Great pics........love it.I totally agree with all that has been written above.<br /> <br /> Thanks<br /> david tag:blog.racingint.com,2011-06-13:10210747 ZEndallefal 2011-06-13T01:07:09Z 2011-06-13T01:07:09Z Really nice read thanks, I have added this to my bookmarks Diary tag:blog.racingint.com,2011-05-26:9730471 Brad Rigney 2011-05-26T20:36:57Z 2011-05-26T20:36:57Z It will be great to see the Aussie exposed to the best in the world under such a talented trainer.<br /> <hr /> Sorry we commandeered him for Europe, but NZ/AUS deserves a worldwide stage for this brilliant horse and he is in good hands. tag:blog.racingint.com,2011-05-23:9653495 Lenny 2011-05-23T09:27:44Z 2011-05-23T09:27:44Z Watch the movie Seabiscut and it will tell you WHY Animal Kingdom lost the Preakness tag:blog.racingint.com,2011-04-21:8369548 Aintree Hospitality http://www.aintreegrandnationalhospitality.com/ 2011-04-21T08:25:42Z 2011-04-21T08:25:42Z Your writing style is brilliant.
