Condolences to the owners of Roaring Lion as i see he has passed away

I see he went back for more surgery yesterday

What a great opportunity to get to a the Frankel blood

Everyone is saying the same thing, we need change, but only if it doesn't affect them!

As an AML consultant I find it interesting that the TAB won't accept it. The AIVCOP 2013 put ot by FMA and DIA about acceptable secondary id lists "a document issued by a government agency that contains the persons name and signature,for example a Super Gold card as defined in the Social Security (SuperGold card) Regulations 2007" Definitely someone trying to make things hard at the TAB

Waimate has always fought about going to Timaru, I think there is a clash of personalities.

Very much pleased

It is a tough call

The family has been very good to us but the cost to return is just getting a bit hard to take. The other problem is finding a commercial stallion under 16.1 hands, have found danehill cross works, no Zabeel and under $15k

We try to sell as yearlings, the problem as noted by Huey is finding a value commercial stallion as she seems to like producing fillies and then we get hammered at the sales.

So if you had a mare where she had 5 foals, 2 to the races, 1 has won 6, placed 7 and the other has won 5 and placed 4, both just missed black type, would you be Breeding.? Of the others, 1 is an un raced 4yr old, a 2 year old who is showing something and the other a weanling.

Being biased as the breeder of Inscription I think he was a good Stallion. Big thing is they need time, Inscription missed her 4 year old season with a stress fracture, the time out was the best thing for her. I believe CB was sold to Japan which was why he didn't come back.

Turn out wasn't bad, between 50 and 60 most of the day, Tivaci followed by Preferment imo

Thanks to everyone who came along and to the studs who had staff come in on a Sunday to Parade weanlings

Make that Sunday 28th.
