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
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.
The Waikato TBA and JLT are running a Weanling tour next Sunday the 29th, all weanlings by first season sites. Bus leaves 10am 9 Anzac Street Cambridge. For a seat on the bus or more details contact Derek Mayne 0274 666687 or derek.mayne@xtra.co.nz
Track from our point was good, Calligraphy prefers a dead track but ran I nice second (ride wasn't the best) on a good 3. What was strange was that the track was a dead 5 Friday then suddenly a good 3 overnight.
