Moved Thread Dennis Pagan just trained the Victoria Derby winner!

[Veer Right]

WTF?!

He owns the horse 100% outright and yes he actually trains the horse.

Apparently he's been training for just six months.

 

[Pykie]

Unbelievable story.

People thought it was a joke when he announced he would train horses.

Someone will make a movie of this.

 

[Pykie]

 

[Bunk Moreland]

That is, genuinely, absolutely unbelievable. He doesn’t even have his full license yet!

What is he, 70yo?

I know there’s been a few cricketers but as for footballers achieving in another sport, that is an amazing achievement.

Johnny Get Angry has made me a nice old packet this year.

 

[The Warlord]

You just know that whatever ran second is owned by a bunch of Essendon cotorie members who spend 500,000 a week on it.

Few of us Northies with some extra $

Amazing achievement.

 

[Gizmo]

North need to get him back to train their colts.

 

[Legov]

Who cares? Isn’t there a horse racing thread for this?

Amazing achievement.

Wow.

It's a great effort - but not erection worthy.

Regalo Di Gaetano at Morphettville.

 

[juss]

I heard the name the other day and wondered if it was just a namesake or actually the old AFL coach.

Interesting career change, was certainly a weak field this year in that race, but a great achievement to have that success.

What other horses does he train?

Frankie Two Angels.

 

[TENACIOUS]

My mate got a tip about it through connections, told me to put my house on it...

As I don't bet, got my son to do it we both put on $10, won a cool $290 each...
First and last bet on the GG's, but wish I did put my house on it now, could have brought another 28 houses

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Pagan and the King again. Hell of an effort by a rookie trainer and jockey

 

[Frappe]

Apparently went off at the jockey for not winning by more.

He doesn’t have his full license yet, so he can only train horses he owns.

If he had of won a group 3 it would have been an achievement, to take out the oldest race in Victorian racing is incredible.

Congratulations on being an animal abuser pagan.

 

[The Warlord]

Congratulations on being an animal abuser pagan.

He certainly enjoyed belting crap out of his pet tigers when he was coaching us.

 

[Thrawn]

So? Am I supposed to be excited?

 

[The Warlord]

So? Am I supposed to be excited?

You don't think someone taking out a major prize in a second sport at 73 is impressive

 

[Ice-Wolf]

So? Am I supposed to be excited?

I'm not sure anyone could have coach Carlton at the time, no need to still be angry with him.

Since when is animal abuse a sport?
