Spikecity 749 Report post Posted April 9, 2018 Yes will be interesting. Being selfish I would love to see him race another season, providing he is sound. The stud offers will still be there the following season, but I realize he could make more at stud next season than he could racing. Still it would be nice to see him win the cup for a third time and being proven in Australia (which Terror to Love couldn't) must make him the most desirable new stallion by far. I would also hate to see all the sucker bets being taken by the TAB (Laz to win 3rd Cup) ending up in the TAB slush fund.

Spikecity 749 Report post Posted April 9, 2018 I guess in the end it will come down to money vs the thrill of racing a Champion and considering that the owners shouldn't be short of a dollar or two - the obvious choice will be to race him.

For us Harness purists , nirvana is seeing Great horses continue to race season after season. Nothing beats it. Unfortunately reality on a fiscal level kicks in, the bane of modern day racing. Of course nothing guarantees he will be a success at stud anyway, but let's hope he does leave a horse as good as himself.

What Stud fee would you think he would be at ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
john legend 743 Report post Posted April 9, 2018 my guess $8000.00 plus gst and he to cover 150 mares first year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamour 673 Report post Posted April 9, 2018 I think they stick to $6,000 to get as big a book as possible. Young stallions need numbers on the ground . If they don’t get a few good winners or classic performers in the first couple of crops it is very hard to recover Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
john legend 743 Report post Posted April 9, 2018 I guess now the 2 big studs have purchased Vincent what price him . ? maybe 6000 and 100 mares year 1 in nz. At least with his bloodlines he will be excellent cross for the Bettors Delights. Maybe this deal means Laz will be racing this season. lets hope so.
