  1. I agree Tasman man Given the low stakes here in NZ the sale offered an economical way of getting into some nice blood. Good luck to those that purchased
  2. the left testicle would have been safer :-)
  3. Hey Cubes we are a bit the same. About 3 years a go we won 7 races over a year and a half with 3 different horse and we used to joke this is easy (we new it wasn't and to enjoyed it while it was happening). We are currently in 3 different horses for zilch, there have been many issues but we are optimists :-), gota be hehe
  4. Yes interesting point and probably right about the price peaking as a yearling unless there is a performance or you have a Tavistock tucked away. I guess a deal is never done unless the two parties agree on a price :-)
  5. It does cost a lot to breed, feed and raise horses properly. I don't think it is unreasonable for vendors to expect a return. Ultimately it is personal choice what anybody pays or accepts for a sale price. As someone once said, If a deal is struck the horse changes paddocks, if not it stays in the paddock it's in :-)
  6. What about Gaylord focker from meet the fockers :-)
  7. I once had business dealings with a Wayne King, gota be professional :-)
  8. A speights is $5 at Riccarton
  9. You're right on there Huey some wonderful bloodlines that have worked nicely here in the past :-)
  10. One could argue those first foals are an opportunity for buyers based in the research.
  11. I'm no expert chevy, but I thought this bias was to do with the first foal being smaller. I guess at the first foal stage the mare isn't proven in terms of throwing winners yet. It would be interesting to compare some stats on average race wins for first foal compared to 2nd 3rd...
  12. We have been down to Wingatui a few times over the last couple of years with and without horses going around and had an absolute ball. I quite like that we bar up stairs in the corner, easy to pop out and see the races.
  13. Doesn't Zabeel have some white gene?
  14. What do we think of the white filly in lot 113. http://www.nzb.co.nz/sales/pedigree.cfm?sale_id=187&lot=113 By a good sire from Might and Powers family. Plenty of residual value if she doesn't fire on the track?
  15. Those Fast n Famous mares may suit ;-)
  16. Hi Fitzy We have done a similar thing with Zacinto/Encharm mating, hopefully the double of Danehill works :-) The other thing I have noticed is that the Danzig line seems to work well on the bottom side of the pedigree. Often you will see winners from the Kashani, Volksrad Danehill and Danzig line mares. Food for thought.
  17. Hi slam dunk I completely disagree. If we are supplying the racing product why should we not reasonably expect to see our ggs go around online in a timely fashion? We are not always able to make it to the races or even see it on tv when working. We pay enough in noms, transport vet etc. One of our horses went around in: Race 3: GORE TOWN & COUNTRY CLUB RESTAURANT/CLOVER EXPORT MAIDEN on 18/0914. I emailed nztr and asked politely twice and have never received a response. I notice the race is still not up unless there is something wrong with my computer. Are they not receiving the emails or choosing not to reply. Either way its not good business. Food for thought?
  18. Yea he seems to be doing and handy job. I think his winners to runners is respectable and Include definately is handy.
  19. Yea probably a fair point. I guess sometimes its a crystal ball thing trying to anticipate which sire will be selling well in 3 years when you have a two year old. I sometimes look at the nice stallion pedigrees we have had in the South and think if only they had more of a chance in terms of their progeny getting to the races and letting the results speak for themselves :-)
  20. Hi Tapu totally agree on the Highly Recomendeds. They are all like peas in a pod from what I see. The one we have here is a lovely type with a great attitude :-) Like you say it would be nice to have a top line stallion down here.
  21. ok so more a matter of sticking to our knitting and breeding the good staying type. Looks like the market wants an early maturing horse now days.
  22. Hi trakdap Do large filly's win more races than small ones or is it just that buyers like big?
  23. Yea it was a good win by Red Ripper and Baitsie, what about the Pukana :-) Another great day at Kumara alright.
