  1. Hello Ray, Thank you for the reply. I should have stated that it would need to be from someone that had a booking here in Australia as the service would have to be for an Australian mare. Regards, sue
  2. If anyone has a booking to Mach Three that they are not going to use could they please reply. Regards, Sue
  3. Does not seem a lot of money for a stallion with that good a pedigree. Top bllodlines for a small price. Just hope that if you sent a mare to him those good genes would come through.
  4. After checking further lot 618 Bay Mare High Tea - High Chaparral - Vaguely Attentive sold for $ 40,000 in foal to the same sire Iffraaj (GB). If you could go back and bid would you ? Does seem very interesting this one.
  5. Sorry you had such a bad result Deejay, when you love the horses it hurts when the sell so low, as you want people to think as highly of your horses as you do. Then the bad financial result is a double blow. Hope the filly turns out to be a good one ! After reading this post i looked up lot 496 and I can see why you had to sit on your hands Lloyd Vivian, tempting very tempting ! Especially after LOT 79 Weanling Brown Colt High Chaparral Vaguely Jet sold for $ 125,000. Was the service fee for Iffraaj $12,000 paid for in this price ?? I see that New Zealand Bloodstock Ltd was the purchaser of this lot. Are they likely to sell this or others if people were interested. As I live in Brisbane I am not sure how things operate.
  6. Google Monty Roberts youtube loading horses on a float. Great viewing of a lot of Monty Roberts tips.
  7. Hello Hello, All I can say is that I find a lot of what has happened with Auckland Reactor very disappointing! I think that he is an amzing athlete and has tons of natural ability. Had he been available in Australia I would have booked a mare to him for sure ! It is unfortunate that the horse was burdened with all of the Hype ! People start to get tired of hearing about it, and instead of being positive, people become very negative because you do start to get sick of it. With any potential stallion it is never going to be said that he simply was not good enough when beaten, and so not just with Auckland Reactor but many other stallions excuses are always offered. Lets hope Auckland Reactor recovers and returns to the racetrack and shows his true class again. People criticize him for not showing fight when challenged for the lead - Fair Point. Each horse generally has its own unique racing style however, some are best leading, others like to sit sprint, some like to be left alone to motorhome from the tail of the field. You have got to applaud the owners for racing him as an older horse. How many times with US stallions such as the superhorse Somebeachsomewhere do you hear of people unhappy because they are retired at 3 and fans never get to see them race as older horses. I guess with Auckland Reactor, in hindsight this may have been a good option, as racing on as an older horse has taken some of the shine off and possibly damaged his stallion career !
  8. With the buyer being MJ & MM House doesthis mean that your horse may go through the ready to run sale ?
  9. $ 32,500 is my pick. Colt = Bonus, nice family. Best Of Luck ! Sue
  10. Hello Hello, The recent APG sales clearly demonstrate that a colt will always outsell a filly of the same breeding.When times are tough having lots of fillies to sell makes things so much harder. If you Studs want to help the breeder who sells their yearlings at auction, knowing that a colt will outsell a filly every time adjust the stud fee accordingly. For an example: stallion stud fee of $ 10,000. I think it would be fairer to charge $ 12,000 if you get a colt and $ 8,000 for a filly. This would mean that if you got a colt you would owe the stud $2,000 and if you got a filly they would owe you $2,000. Because of this it becomes more complicated making it harder to initiate. Give people the option of paying $ 10,000 for the stallion fee regrdless of gender, or charge the service fee at $12,000 upfront and if you get a colt all is even, and if you get a filly the stud gives you a refund of $4,000. As you would assume that studs would be against giving you money back directly how about a $4,000 credit off of the next years service fee. Assuming 50% colts & 50% fillies the studs would receive the same revenue and the breeder recives some help if they have less income from the sale of a filly. Food for thought ! Regards, Sue
  11. Hello Hello, Ransom Olds is now 2 for 2 in Australia and is in heat 1 of the Victoria Derby tonight.At his 1st Australian start he broke the Bendigo track record leading all of the way in a stunning 1:54.9 mile. Lot 24 Elwood Engel a Christian Cullen yearling half brother is in the NZ sales this year. Not mine! but good luck to this colts owners. Regards, Sue
  12. Hello Hello, Could someone please give me an idea as to what the sale price range would have been for Ransom Olds. I have a close relative and would be curious to work out a value price. Regards, Sue
  13. After the loss of a lovely filly and vet bills and loss of income from the sale of this filly, insurance is something I need to look into. Regards, Sue
  14. Hello Hello, Could anyone please recommend me an insurance company to cover my foals from the day of birth to yearling sales please. I live in Brisbane Australia. Regards, Sue
