    Hi, Whitelion. Are you interested in mares that bred in New Zealand only or add those that had sons stand here? Will sort through all the papers. How do I contact you to arrange delivery? I'm in Waikato.

    Thank you so much from the information you sent. I will make sure the work is valued.

    Whitelion - I have some home-made charts on broodmares such as Miss Kate, Eulogy, Neried, Cinna, Volifox, Cowl (Dulcie) and others, particularly those families where multiple stallions stood in N.Z., which I would be happy to send to you. Have lost the interest to maintain them now.

    Have you read Lyle Andrew's books?

    Thank you would love them. No have not read his books.would nztba library have them?

  3. I bougt a beautiful mare that is a 3/4 to Aimees idol for only 200. Had another go at racing her for a 4th but her heart wasn' in it anymore and that was fine by me as I mainly got her for breeding. Have to say she is the spitting image of her grand dam eight carat and has a lovely nature. So I for one am a very happy purchaser.

    I wish you well with your writing.

    As a research tool get hold of Clive Harper's  "The Thoroughbred Broodmare Book "  He looked at great broodmares from the USA, NZ , UK and Australia and looked what the best progeny from each, had in common from a line breeding point of view.

    Thank you. Will do.

  5. I am going to write a book, which I hope will be the first of a small series, on great nz broodmares. I have always thought there is so much more attention paid to the stallions and not the great blue hen mares. First one will be eight carat and her immediate offspring. I want to talk to people who knew the horses as I want the personal stories. I hope sir Patrick of course could be one of these but will get underway with the huge amount of research first. Would love to hear about any stories, photos anyone has. Big job I know but will be so much fun.

    How much more needed

    They run 23 meetings a year at Riccarton mostly feature and premier stake money

    Sorry uneasy but much easier for me to travel to see her race in the north island than the south. More race choices up there too.

  7. Hi all. This is my first post but have really enjoyed reading the commentary over the past year or so. I have a 3 yr old filly by shocking who has just finished her first race prep. I am about to spell her as she needs more strengthening. But considering new trainer and wanted someone in waikato or auckland with medium sized stable who has a particularly good record with stayers. Any suggestions?
