Cavalier241 6 Report post Posted January 29, 2018 Hi all, could anyone tell me whether the sales are televised this year and on what channel? I can't seem to find anything except for the very slow NZ Bloodstock website. Thanks in advance. Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooby3051 10,863 Report post Posted January 29, 2018 Great to see a lot of the top lots either staying in NZ or bought by NZ trainers or Bloodstock agents. Te Akau has bought some outstanding lots as has Trent Busuttin and Paul Moroney.Wish them all well with them. And what a great interview Peter Moody did with Sir Patrick.... need more like it.

La Zip 468 Report post Posted January 29, 2018 Te Akau cop their share of stick, in the wash up they [Ellis] is probably the saviour, the difference between having well bred colts and some fillies, or not....he saved a few today from a dubious exit, they can at least look forward to our lovely grass and a great opportunity to reach their potential.

Cavalier241 6 Report post Posted January 29, 2018 Thanks Shad, could not find that pop up channel for the life of me. Te Akau have bought 17 lots so far. Heard a comment today about strong buying from Hong Kong due to Australia changing quarantine laws, can only be good for the sale Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breeder 607 Report post Posted January 29, 2018 I loved the "story" Sir Patrick told in the interview, scooby about how the stud was sold. For those who missed the interview it went something like this : Brendan Lindsay came up to Sir Patrick and said "Is it true the stud is for sale?" Sir Patrick said yes it is for sale. Brendan holds out his hand and said well it's sold, Jo and I'll buy it from you. Sir Patrick says " Hold on, you do not know the price etc. yet". Brendan replies " Thats OK , we'll pay what you want not what I think it maybe worth" scooby3051 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotch Thistle 133 Report post Posted January 29, 2018 I see a NZ Thoroughbred Racing news item referred to Sir Patrick as "the sales doyenne". No doubt intended as flattery, but entirely missed the mark, a doyenne being the most respected or prominent woman in a particular field.

Moody got a bargain with Sir Patrick's colt by Tavistock out of Diamondlike. $750k was a steal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump 2,741 Report post Posted January 29, 2018 I think the TV coverage has been great. Very enjoyable and some good interviews with various people. I had to laugh once when (I think it was Aidan Rodley) a presenter commented whilst the camera was on Duncan Ramage and Guy Mulcaster up behind the glass, with Mulcaster sitting on Ramage's left, Rodley said, "That's Guy Mulcaster sitting on Duncan Ramage's RIGHT SHOULDER".

Breeder 607 Report post Posted January 30, 2018 I think Emily Bosson is showing up her more experienced colleagues. She does some good, basic research on the lots she knows she will cover, to give really interesting background. I don't mean to knock the others, as they are all doing well, but Emily is just that much better.

My husband [from the other room] called out; "that sounds like Peter Kelly". There had been no prior discussion, nor was there any prompting, so obviously he has the voice for the job.
