I have a horse running this week in similar situation. Trainer questioned & he received. Jim never questioned made up his own mind & said fuck it.

JT sounds like he needs to chill a bit he lost Bob Peters horses over a jockey booking I'm told Bob told him Pike is the stable rider and he wasn't happy he wanted J Brown on them so basically told him to come move all his horses since then Bob hasn't gone backwards mmmmmm
The boom youngster Lucky Street was spoken about as being aimed there and Perth Racing usually can attract one maybe two quality horses from the East that hopefully are not at the end of their campaigns. I say all of this because I think Magnifisio did remarkably well in winning last year, but now that she is what she will be, a 6YO mare, I honestly believe her very best is behind her.
It's not every day that a breeder gets his hands on a maiden Gr 1 mare, Had she been offered at the end of the month on the Gold Coast, she would have brought $600,000 you would think. But it only gets better when you have paid $80,000 for that same mare, collected more than $1.2M along the way, and that with well thought out stallion selections, she could potentially drop yearlings that would make more than $1M total over the first two years on the East Coast.
Against this background is the risk of a campaign that produces nothing less than another Gr 1 win, because even a couple of lead up wins here in Perth would be neither here nor there.
So in my opinion, and nothing to do with who is training her, I think it is an enormous risk.
I wish Vaughn luck with Magnifisio, and Alan continued good fortune.
As for Jim Taylor, whom I haven't spoken to, he is an outstanding judge, and I don't know if he would have made an impetuous decision with this mare.
He may just have a replacement good horse anyway.

Another four have just commenced with him on behalf of my client.
It's true I don't have the relationship with Jim Taylor that I may once have had, but it makes little difference to me. My client is very happy with Jim, that is all that maters.
You should really spend more of your time talking to people who may have something worth listening to.

You have enjoyed a lot of success in recent times in Perth, as a result you will attract your fair share of 'experts' looking for a feed. So if you are wondering who is right in their opinion on any of your stock, why don't you look at the success of the last five years and compare it to the success of the next five years, then you will know precisely the value of the opinions you now receive.
In respect to Magnifisio, when she won the Winterbottom her value was at 100% as a broodmare. That didn't diminish with her first up failure in Adelaide as the conditions could have been an acceptable reason for her not finishing the race off. Her second race in perfect conditions however, did tarnish her reputation, and this translates into the sales ring both for her and her stock. Mostly because it confirms the true ranking of the Winterbottom win as a weak Gr 1 by national standards.
If you continue with her racing for another year, and there is no reason not to go a full year, because if you go through to a Winterbottom again the breeding season will be lost in timing. Perhaps this weekends race, the Roma Cup, could be her swansong next year, but it is a nothing race compared to her existing career. But the bottom line is that by racing for another season, you run the risk of her being less than dominating and just being remembered as once having had a very lucky day in a Gr 1, and an even luckier time in the Stewards room following. Her subsequent career st Stud will be crucial as a result, but as I have always understood, all her offspring would be retained by the family, so unless you sell her outright, her value is irrelevant.
You were not at the sales when I found her and asked you to purchase her, Jim Taylor only looked at her at my invitation, as she wasn't day one stock and he was looking elsewhere. It was only that I insisted that if you wanted a second opinion, then that Trainer shouldn't be forgotten, which is a degree of loyalty I no longer agree to. If owner's want second opinion, they can go find one. Her purchase is something that with the passage of time, has been conveniently left out of the history of this mare.
So what would I know ?
Just to be clear, I purchase all of Sam's horses and the majority are with Jim, and one is with Eric Wake.
I get my news from the Owner, not the stable, if you gave more info I would love to hear it.
They said value would not increase or diminish so carry on racing. One offer allowed me do this with a sale to them guaranteed. So it's up to me. Can't understand your other comments. Are you talking credit for my breeding. Heorshe etc get real

I shouldn't have entered into this public comment.
Nothing good ever comes of it.
