Shad

Did they stop off for hydration from a trough in Matamata?

Must go down as the most respectful reply ever seen on this website. 

You've still got to win , that's not a given in this game.

Baker Foresman be my pick, although wouldn't be a smaller stable, the art of training a stayer seems lost these days.

Another nice mare who was with an owner/breeder who had a lot of fun breeding and racing all her progeny herself.
Sophie Ro (High Ice x Kinkajou) 4 win mare, 5 foals/4 winners
Lautenschlager (Forensic Evidence) - 13 wins Listed winner
Schockemohle (Senor Pete)  - 6 wins Group placed
Bechtolsheimer (Remind) - 7 wins Cup winner
Schmeckenbecher (Senor Pete) - 5 wins

Not "ouch" at all Scotchy. That's the risk breeders take be they horses, cattle or anything that goes to auction. If a breeder pays $7K to get his mare in foal he doesn't neccessarily have the right to expect someone to pay $20 or $30K for the offspring a year later. That's what the market says they're worth on the day. And as an Aussie cattle breeder told me years ago "it's always better to be sorry you sold than sorry you didn't sell."

Wise men ride them, fools breed them, and old fella sold me some years ago, have never forgotten his words of wisdom, pity didn't take his advice.

You can't beat that buzz of winning race, and you will be on cloud nine winning 3 on the bounce, a wise man told me years ago, never condemn a horse till its dead.

and even then - wait for another 6 months 

do they call Geoff "Captain" by any chance?
 

Not sure it is relevant , or anyone will give a flying toss , but Mrs Cubes decided to call our latest Super Easy filly “ Firestarter” .She trials at Rangiora on Tuesday .And the filly will get a run soon too.

Oh c'mon guys, that stuff is old news there's some great racin comin up, how bout we shift focus to that this rubbish is just gettin really silly, annnnd it's goin nowhere, been dealt with done dusted cheez.......

Those hot cross buns stuff up everybody! 

Who really does run racing, makes you wonder sometimes.

Or if your Brodie you might want to remember this from the site owner
":Do you have proof of this happening if not then please keep your assumptions to yourself...rumours are not accepted in here...cheers. "

If Cubes is any good at Maths (which we aren't) , then Edward broke maiden ranks yesterday @ Wingatui in his 30th start .
" Well done " said Dodecahedron , whose real first name is Edward as well .
Cubity knows those feelings of countless "almost"s , but The Cubinator never quite seems to get that glorious victory to get us over the line..... don't quite seem to be in sync with the universe.....or maybe it isn't in sync with the Cubemeister.....
But surely all 'Cafers should be inspired by the mighty Volksraad gelding that greeted the judge in Dunners yesterday
And maybe that elusive triumph is just around the corner for all of us........

He might be cheap. You could then tell your grandchildren later on that you once owned a Derby winner. LOL

Totally agree, a credit to them, could have easily thrown in the towel, made a meeting there a long time ago, enjoyable day out, would like to get to kurow for a look, but they only race once a year and its a busy time work wise for me, did get to omakau few years back, invercargill, riverton and a few others on the list.Can't beat those country meetings, and looks like they are an endangered species.

Now, now, cubes, your abit harsh, calling your horse a donkey, in all fairness you got your charge their, made the field, and gave a good sight for most of the race, regardless where you finished, you can say you were there, and you had a runner in the race.A credit to all concerned.

Dave kerr also trained the gaffa, redback, and straight line i think, probably many more that i have forgotten about.

I believe she is resting at waterlea racecourse, although stand to be corrected, what a heartbreaker that was, i've never forgot it, was a huge fan of her, she was by noble bijou and Canterbury belle by Beaufort sea i think, always liked the progeny of that sire, think he had a horse in one of the cup races, call melco or something similar, used to follow sharebroker also a handy type in his day. Left some handy types.

Had my syndicate bets at Wellington saturday, didnt return  a cracker, not even close, still getting over visiting that dark place when you come up empty, happens quite regularly race day to, just can't seem to resist a couple of roughies. A fool and their money are soon parted, a wise man told me.
