  1. Hello Mr Doomed. Serena is indeed very expensive but the others very cheap because they have come to love NZ and Auckland. Its quite a classy show and they enjoy it a lot. If we (NZ) do things well, and always with class, the world will come. You are right, we will never match the millions and millions on offer overseas but we have a chance--just need passion , intelligence, class , vision AND hard work.
  2. Hello Trump. Your post is interesting but do bear in mind TNZ (Tennis New Zealand) have Nothing to do with the ASB Woman's or Men's tournament. They are both run exclusively by Auckland Tennis who are independent of NZ Tennis. Auckland Tennis pay a small affiliation fee to New Zealand Tennis and that is it. Interesting enough The Australia Tennis Open is run by Tennis Australia , a very big corporation with the stated theme of returning all profit , (and its a truly remarkable profit too) to the benefit of Australian Tennis across all the Commonwealth of Australia.
  3. It was revealed on Wednesday that jockeys were resorting more regularly to the use of spurs, partly in response to increased restrictions imposed by Racing Australia on the use of the whip. I SAW many of the Australian senior jockeys in the 2019 Melbourne cup wearing spurs. Any horseman watching would have immediately noticed. By the way I am in favour of both (used correctly)..
  4. Many thanks N. But I gather all racing folk acknowledge that 4 stallions and maybe less than 200 mares began the “breed” and very quickly 200 years ago the genetic book was slammed shut . Men have been cross breeding ??? from the offspring of the original 4 stallions ever since so to me they are all as good as near full brothers and sisters ! All else is rich men’s dreams and ND and Berri’s post absolutely proves it ? I can see absolutely no reason why a stallion cannot be mated to his sisters and leave winners. Berri’s post above strongly points to it and Coolmore knows it as their staggering successful results prove. If you got the dough just discard the 20% roarers as the winners will get you glory and more $
  5. Hello Mr Berri. I enjoy your posts and I finally have worked out how to log in (only taken me 5 years!!) .I love my horses ,racing and breeding but know little. Watching the run of ND and his descendants and knowing full well that all thoroughbreds descend from 4 stallions and maybe 200 mares and its been a totally 100% closed book for oo's of years genetically ALL thoroughbreds now must be just like brothers and sisters? Why don't the studs and the rich folk owners just breed a Champion stallion to his full sisters/daughters and get on with winning everything like Godolphin and Coolmore are well on the way to doing now ? I am serious in that mating full thoroughbred brother and sister must be little different to the breeding you outline in this thread.
  6. That is utterly remarkable. In fact it’s astounding .This is like a grandparents grandchildren all marrying each other. Reminds me of certain prominent human families
