Dopey

gaffa - sold to US after his 2000 Guineas win - from Dave’s own breeding family, Radback, Clansman, Canterbury Belle, straight line, player (cocky golfer), pastime and Slice (both by Icelandic), pasithia, gloss (by Pompeii Court), group winner Domingo (mistral Dancer) he also won the Gosford Guineas and ran 5th in Rosehill Guineas. Won his next 5 in a row on return to NZ! Very temperamental horse but the best I handled. Beechwood Bold - good open class John grigg winner (or place getter), Kap the bid, Vicky buck (daughter of Canterbury Belle), Joan, and I would have missed many many. Great years lots of memories.

Yes sorry correct

Trained by the great Dave Kerr (and Jan of course). For Nick Wigley out of calico queen (? Sp I think ) who was imported and by the stud thoroughbred teaser - go figure) Does bode the question that I think (subject to your feedback) that Dave Kerr is the last South Island based trainer to train a group one winner in Australia (elders Handicap then Doncaster now) - is that right? michael pitman has a chance to break that now and I hope for his sake he does. It’s overdue.

“A few New Zealanders ive spoken to also buy on behalf of Asian clients. A 3 is a fail in some Asian racing jurisdictions. So what happens when the NZB scope says its a pass but the Hong Kong vet says its a fail and the NZ middle man is stuck with a horse they don't want?” This does happen. What’s happens is you’re stuck with a horse that’s a pass in other jurisdictions

Storm Bird not Storm cat ....

And Northern State - an average to poor full brother to storm cat - I raced a mare by him called Lydessa from Condessa.

Right on

What are you implying ?

Probability of genetics

So wrote or roc de cambes on swynfords advice

How’s redwood ? Tivaci?

You might find this interesting

Thru high chap - yes, might prefer another special son top line

Pour moi has responded well to multiple lines of Northam Dancer and in particular stallions like Rock of Gibraltar. If the mare has thrown to pour moi I would also suggest perhaps a high Chaparral line Somewhat controversially and yes special and the number 5 family duplIcations and yes zabeel lines but I like high chap with pour moi

I’ll have a look and come back to you.

Negotiate

Agree with the physical question above, but on pedigree consider a saddlers wells or zabeel line horse - pick up on the no 5 family that b duke is from and he was known to do well with zabeel - Or i think dalghar may also work well. Have a look

Winx black cavier Phillipa rush

The way they are going and selling I’m VERY PLEASED I’ve got my mare in foal to him. IMO he is the new Volksraad - to kick a mare off with.

Are you sure it’s illegal?

I think you are all the over thinking this... storm in s tea cup. There is not a lot of outrage out there / rather “money going to what??” Comment. Its all fish and chip paper. just get on with it. Plenty of industries get targeted support - it’s just racing’s turn. Even Jacinda said something along those lines on radio.
