My god what a video it amazes me the work that goes in to training a horse and the passion you show to your horse I'm sure there's thousands oweners like you and to get a let down on the day after all the work that is put in by the trainer and staff to end up like you all did on the day is heartbreaking mat I'm so sorry it went pear shaped but let's hope there is better days ahead for you and max fingers crossed KEEP THE FAITH ALL 🙏

[@onecarefulowner]

[@gerardshort6149]

Are you going to put Max over hurdles next . It is great to see the jockey pull him up for the care of your horse and yourself . As i know people who are dead against horses jumping fences i tell them they get a lot more care than you will ever do and loved very much . Also subscribed will watch out next time he runs .

i used to live in the uk and was a horse racing potographer, used to go and see sir Henry cecils yard a few times in late 80s and early 90s and used to folloe him and Steve around the courses in england. also used to go to the jumps and ad shares in horses back in the day. this is a great vid and know how you feel as spent so much of my younger years around these beautiful noble creatures. i saw many wonderful sights and some horrendous but gladly the best outweighed the bad. good luck for now and the future with Max

[@chrisbrader7720]

Shame but it’s a very precarious game jumps,very risky.Great content as ever and it must be tough as a lone owner and obviously very expensive.Ive only been in Syndicates on Flat which is my preferred racing but I do like the Jumps but I don’t like the horses getting injured. Good Luck.

[@onecarefulowner]

The ups and downs of the Sport unfortunately. Yes very expensive as a sole owner but you do get to make all the decisions . I have a great team with me at Roger Teal Yard, so many people involved. Not going to lie, still feeling it but Max is fine and was given the all clear by the Vets this morning.

[@paulterry7672]

I owned a few horses at one time a lot more lows than highs and sky high bills to boot. I had a lovely horse do a tendon at Ascot was a heartbreaking day so know how it feels.

Agreed on that but the food provided in the Owners and trainers left plenty to be desired. Not really acceptable for the money Owners invest into the sport

[@JackBurton-w7x]

I don’t know if anyone noticed the Haydock racing yesterday. Nicky Richards great training, getting a big prize with an Ex Irish chaser who has been off track 8 months. Fabulous training but Nicky doesn’t pretend about his training skills, he is solely nh orientated. The reason I mention him is this muppet that is training Max is a good flat trainer but a horrible jumps trainer. I saw the video where it gave it the Delboy about Max really attacking the fences and it could be the making of him. Pity as this could have been a 140 horse with a genuine nh trainer.

[@onecarefulowner]

@@JackBurton-w7x thanks for watching and sharing your opinion. I agree that the Chasing route needs to revisited at some point. I also agree he has the potential of being much better than his current mark. Very much a case of getting his form back to where it should be for his next run and then make a very clear plan going forward. People must not forget that Roger has trained Max for some time and I had success last year. Trainer is confident it was fitness last time. Happy Christmas 🎅

[@JackBurton-w7x]

@ yes happy Christmas to you too. I know he has trained the horse for several seasons and it’s your money, your choice. I also realize he had a tendon injury. However he seems regressive at this point and I think it might be extremely difficult to get a win from him again given the present regime. He certainly is not a natural chaser, Joseph O’Brien put out a very diminutive mare yesterday, useful on flat and hurdles. She lugged top weight and looked an absolute natural, Max looks like he is a careful type who will take the cautious approach especially if he clouts one. I think it might be exceptionally difficult to get a win chasing with him.

[@onecarefulowner]

@ sure, I hear you. Roger had always felt he was a chasing in the making but Lilly thinks he is a hurdler. I just would like to see much more schooling over fences on grass to make a more informed decision. He is a very big boy who does not have tactical speed for the end of hurdle races. I do except his form last time was a good stone below his best but he did appear to need it. Next time is key. Too early to call either way. All the best

[@JackBurton-w7x]

@ I am not a trainer but I suppose we pick things up over the years of owning horses. I learnt a massive amount from Micky Hammond when I had a horse with him. Great guy shares knowledge and really open about talking. Gonna see what the next race brings you and hopefully it’s good news.
