jeepers 276 Report post Posted February 28, 2017 I see this stallion is having his first runner today at Waikato in the 2yo event. I note of those that have trialed many seem to have been placed yet I would have thought they won't make 2yos. Has anyone had experience with progeny by this stallion? They look good types from what I have seen at the sales yet they haven't fetched big money. What do others think? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

.... 226 Report post Posted March 2, 2017 Breeder's are obviously now in the 'wait and see' stage with him now, only served 38 mares last spring after averaging an ok 70 mares (for a stallion with his profile) for his first 3 seasons Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazach 133 Report post Posted March 3, 2017 Definitely a "wait and see". Pentire has no history of siring successful stallions as yet. He won't have the cream of mares so will have to "do it on his own merits". He isn't a stallion I would send a mare to (personal opinion only) - couldn't win a GP1 in NZ, and only won a GP3 in Oz. Plus was unplaced in half of his 22 races. The studs always gloss over how many unplaced races their stallions have - I wonder why!. Anyway, all the best for Mapperley, as Pentire has been a great stallion and it would be nice to see his sire line successfully continue.

jeepers 276 Report post Posted March 3, 2017 I saw him "win " the GP1 in Perth against a very good field and as we all know he lost the race in one of the most disgusting travesty's I have ever seen in Racing in my lifetime. I do think you are right though it's a now wait and see. I do think he may have been a better horse than Xtravagant and what a great female line.

Huey 2,037 Report post Posted November 12, 2017 1st winner for the sire today in Aus.at Armidale , at Remarkable odds if you got some as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeepers 276 Report post Posted November 13, 2017 He nearly got one at Avondale last week also,Go for Dough.if didn't have to go wide on the turn it should have won. I see he also had a trial winner a few weeks back in NZ. Time may be all they need especially being by Pentire from a Zabeel mare. Damn! I missed that one at Armidale and I've been waiting for it as it won a trial impressively a while back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best horse on the day was the eventual winner unfortunately.The ready to run last year there was a Alamosa/ Awesome gelding Moroney purchased for 38k Mark Lupton trains it, looks the real deal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
