Wrote the Upgrader….like Vlad the Impailer… did things the hard way from the ground up

Snitzel from my visit in august 2018. RIP

HY has provided some strength in front that not normally provided compared to most from the family. Per Incanto mum so speed but not early - this colt has some real class about him. I’ll be racing a good slice.

Well up behind then.. plenty of improvement there good one

No markings

Not sure she could have won much better at Te Aroha today. @Nerula

Looks good - wth thanks

Hard tracks and training methods might be a good start….

Good run CREAM TART yesterday at Matamata… https://loveracing.nz/RaceInfo/53404/2/Race-Detail.aspx

Now people… I post every now and again, but this is important. I agree with this post, and that LOWE did his ground breaking work a long time ago… and now we have DNA.. So it’s important to reconcile the old LOWE numbers (and their known errors) with the next generation of knowledge (DNA understanding) if you are (say) trying to line breed or whatever … so here is something to consider / take into account in your thinking (sorry I don’t have a reference) in a nut shell… some LOWE lines are mitochondria related…I think going forward a better way to think…should over take the LOWE numbers.

Danehill Dancer and Kodiac close genetically…

Another nice debut winner on Sunday - Bulgari https://loveracing.nz/RaceInfo/53366/3/Race-Detail.aspx HY building…

Six-time Group One winner Auguste Rodin will shuttle to Windsor Park Stud in Cambridge this spring in a coup for the New Zealand breeding industry. https://www.racingnews.co.nz/six-time-group-one-winner-to-stand-at-windsor-park/

I knew Don well and exchanged breeding ideas over many years. A great bloke and kiwi fruit grower / breeder who loved to take on the big boys. He told me about his punting days in Australia where on one day he took so much cash from the track he needed a bag! Others will know more about that… but he was a real gent, a race cafe regular, good contributor, raced a horse with me…. And I miss the man. so pleased his breed (and generosity) is coming out and he is being remembered

8f is your friend

You might be interested in Schwarz pedigree then … Caulfield today

Good post

LOT 55 Lady Iveagh LOT 272 Savoia LOT 285 Shanro LOT 297 Sienna Rose Mix of Sire targetting and stable past performance ...

Yes very strong result by SOS. Left strong types. Early days but he may become the go to sire to kick off a mare.

Noverre and Sword of State had the right types and families at the MM Sale, which from a marketing perspective help position them for the sale…. ive not supported either breeding wise. SOS while smaller was the better racehorse in my opinion, Noverre is a nice type - was well educated but beat little in the 2000 Guineas of his year - again in my opinion. But you have to like his physique / look. Both will have good opportunity…

Been a bit quiet… anyone got some news OR picks for the sales.?
