Berri's challenge --yearling selection

Recommended Posts

To take up Berri's challenge and to inject a bit of life into the breeding threads I'll have a go. My 3 selections from the Select Sale are just from looking at the catalogue --I did not go to the sale of any yearling parades. That is, I have not seen the yearlings.

 

So mine are :   Lot 919  Thorn Park  x Accompli  ( colt)  bought by N. Tanner Auckland

 

                         Lot 1012 Roc de Cambes  x Consumer  ( filly)  went to  Christchurch

 

                         Lot 1015  Makfi  x Cotton  ( filly)  passed ( hopefully Gerry Harvey will race it )

 

Join in for a bit of fun and add your selections.

Well done guys. Any chance you can give me how much they made. I'll frame a competition on it. I will start an XL spread sheet and try to fill in some gaps as they come to light. And what about you Swynford? All you have to do is dust down the computer and have a go. Be a shame if you didn't.

I personally only go on type and use a gizmo we've invented to see if type and ability match up. Then I throw in a functional neurology program, a data monitoring system and a whole bucket load of luck. I've been lucky enough for that luck to rate a mention at my eulogy.

Hi Berri

 

 My lots --Lot 919  $ 30K

                Lot 1012  $30K

                Lot  1015  passed $18K  reserve $25K 

 

 

On another matter  ; there was a very interesting article about selecting a suitable sire for mating using DNA profiling in the Guardian recently. I picked it up in a thread on Thoroughbred village ( breeding forums). I've tried to copy the URL link onto here but cannot get it to work for some reason. But it is well worth the effort to look it up -- easiest through T.Village ( post title =" How genetics can create the next superstar race horse ")

Were you referring to mine Berri? I chose the Premier one on pedigree without seeing it and the two from Select I happened to see on the day and they stood out on type, for me initially. Obviously, they also appealed on pedigree, being by Savabeel and Pins respectively and both from good families. Am I missing something??

I'm not really accusing anyone of doing anything but I wanted to make sure that we were talking the same language. We had swynford showing us mating patterns and the challenge was that if anyone is that good, then they should be racing many good horses. So what we really should be doing is setting up a corporate competition, run beautifully with very cool media data and reporting, that gets people to select horses PRIOR to the sales based solely on pedigrees. That way all these theories will be tested.

One thing about Swynford, he seemed to back down very quickly and has yet to record any selections. Says he/ she has nothing to prove. That I question.
