Great name!
Vasco won 7 races at Tralee and Belle Vue. His last win at the latter was in a race called “Friends of Belle Vue we need your support” - that aged well.
He last raced in March 2019. For some reason, he just stopped dead in a race, although the writing had been on the wall with deteriorating form for a while. In his final three races he came last; form reads 6, 6, 6. Sometimes you swear they know something! Maybe he’d just had a guts full.
A couple of days later he trialled and failed to qualify, and arrived at Tia a week later in lovely nick. He is no fairy princess at 36 kgs.
Vasco has been with us ever since. He won’t even go down into the big paddock unless Kiona is with him, and even then he’s not overly happy about it. He loves his life; no fuss, no drama. A lovely quiet big lad.
