Have people looked at the I Do pedigree, and the success of the no excuse needed O'Reilly cross. It's in this weeks informant.
-
Some owners in Australia just want a horse to race without the overhead or commitment to breed after.

Very much so. Class.Great stallion.

Some might enjoy the link to the hall of fame history of NZ racing

As a slight aside ... Who was the last si trained horse to win a group one in Australia ?
-
Desert Bloom the dam of Fiorente is 3X3 both male toplines to Danzig.
Most pedigree analysts have told me this is not recommended.
If you look at the pedigree of the successful stallions I have mentioned, none have dublications up that close.
For clarification to readers Goody Two Shoes was born in 1899.
Desert Bloom progeny have no other stakes performers apart from Fiorente.
Second dam two stakes horses but neither have are Northern Dancer lines.Best is by Machiavellian.
Any thoughts out there as to 3x3 to Danzig?
Probably More likelihood of getting lots of very good genetics...

A good breeder once told me that a small mare will likely return to average size foals. After three foals you will know.

Like it or not... You guys will need to respond or this is your pr nightmare. How you respond will be your measure.
Honest open approach to real issues is the way to go. Logical people will look past the sensation ... However the issue remains on what to do with non racing dogs.
Like I said this is serious.

CHRISELLIAM showing the best turn of foot to come from the back of the field and overhaul the favourite late on. She showed at Haydock last time she has a smart turn of foot, but she succumbed to the winner's late rally there. This time she was covered up for longer and challenged later. It would be dangerous to assume she'll be just as good off a stronger pace, as her asset appears to be her ability to quicken off a slow gallop, and the tight turns of Santa Anita where speed is usually key, means the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies' Turf, which her trainer mentioned as a possible target, looks an ideal race for her. The Guineas, for which she's a best price 20-1, is another question, and she doesn't make immediate appeal at that price.
QUOTES: Charles Hills, trainer of Chrisellium: "We have loved her since the day she came into the yard. She has such a big stride. Things haven´t really gone right for her. We took her to Deauville and for whatever reason she ran flat. We were scratching our heads and then at Haydock she unfortunately went a little too soon. Since then she has been working great and I was looking forward to today
I've got a filly out of a Zabeel mare...:-) and I'm keeping her to race....
-
indeed quite frightening when you consider the influence of sir tristram/zabeel is on the decline with no super sire replacement in sight.
worse in the current breeding environment there is no chance of a sire like sir tristram having a chance in nz
Savabeel and Reset to the rescue....

THE Clive Brittain-trained Rizeena stayed on well to land the Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh on Sunday and in the process became a second Group 1 winner for Iffraaj following Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere scorer Wootton Bassett.
Ridden by man-of-the-moment James Doyle, Rizeena was one of the first off the bridle, but she stuck on gamely in the closing stages to deny the high-class pair Tapestry and Kiyoshi.
Iffraaj, who stands at Darley's Kildangan Stud, made a blistering start to his stud career, with his first crop yielding 38 individual winners.
His first two-year-old crop was headed by unbeaten Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere hero Wootton Bassett - crowned champion juvenile in France - and Group 3 Prix des Reservoirs winner Espirita, while the following year saw his daughter Stay Alive land the Italian 1,000 Guineas.
The 12-year-old son of Zafonic, who commaned a fee of €10,000 this year, has sired six individual stakes winners in 2013, including Hot Streak who landed the Listed Roses Stakes at York last month.
thanks Berri, nice sire in the making...his fillies will be likely be internationally recognized in the future

Add this to the topic...eulogy has been inducted into the racing hall of fame...
http://www.racinghalloffame.co.nz/Inductee-Videos/Horses/Breeding-Horses/Eulogy
Eulogy was imported to New Zealand 1915, bred 13 winners of 70 races in foal. Her four best foals (Commendation, Esteem, Epitaph and Homage) between them won 10 three-year-old classics and 10 prestigious two-year-old races.
Eulogy's eight daughters bred some of the best racehorses of the era. The family has left a legacy with later descendants including champions Show Gate, Il Tempo, Kingdom Bay and Bonecrusher.

But this is the problem Dopey, people who were breeding to sell are getting chased out of the game by service fees. Not everyone breeds to race...Some people have to sell at sales to pay a few bills.
I'm one of them....

"Yes sorry there are a few, might of shot the gun too early while I was going through the stallions whilst throwing the cellphone at the wall. My point exactly below in your disclaimer. The way things are going you are better going to the sales and purchasing the one that you want and let the breeder take the risks knowing that you will come out ahead once you have brought and probably got a nice type with pedigree and let some other breeder go home with burnt ".........
If everyone does that the price of yearlings etc will rise.....supply and demand. Take the right type to the sales and you make money....if you can keep your costs down and have enough pedigree....
In my view don't breed a horse you can afford to buy....breed one that if its a lovely type you wouldn't be able to afford at the sales...
Hey just my view.
Who actually has Raced Ninety?
