The Charlie Fellowes-Train three-year-old was before the first month beyond the position in the French 1,000 Guineas under Kieran Shoemark.

But, In the midst of anger and cries of ‘cheat’ in the housing of the winnerShe was relegated and second behind Blessa, with connections too lose their profession Against the decision of French stewards.

Shes Perfect returns to action in Chantilly in the group 1 Prix de Diane Longines on Sunday, where the victory ‘is only worth’ £ 472,231.

The horse was bought for around £ 42,000 in May last year – which means that if they had sold Japanese buyers, the syndicate would have made a 5,138 percent profit on their investment.

It was right, Basher said, each about £ 20,000.

But although much more than she can make with her on the races, Basher said that the sum “wasn’t close enough” and added: “Some things are worth more than money.”

The syndicate boss said the deal and said: “What actually happened?

“We had a Japanese customer approach Charlie and offer £ 2.2 million.

“How it works is that people have part of the horse and are entitled to a percentage of the sale that in this case, after reimbursements, if you own one percent, you would have around £ 20,000.

“So I put it to the group and 37 out of 38 voted no.

‘I am happy that everyone voted no.

“For me I had a dream to get lucky and to have a classic, group 1 hardcarder – a horse that you will take to all the big racing courses … that’s what she did.

“She may not earn £ 2.2 million in prize money, but we would have appreciated her and if she never raced again, she would be worth up to £ 1 million.

“So you exchange the rest of her career for £ 1 million.

“That is all for all of us, and I just not worth it.

“The 15 minutes we experienced at Longchamp where we were classic-winning owners, I would not trade that in for any money.

“Horse racing is my passion, my love, and this is my dream to be in the poisition in which we find ourselves.

“Some things mean so much more than money and this is one of those moments. We definitely live our dream.

“If she is defeated on Sunday, what makes it about it? As long as she is fit and good, we will have many fantastic days with her.

“The time to sell is only due to the syndicate – and at the moment she is not for sale.

“Imagine she wins in the side of someone else – I don’t know how I would process that. She is our baby, our dream.

“And it is not worth trade in for that amount.”
