Fortunately our syndicate are all still good friends! We shall see, I would like to breed from her, but as we all know its normally short way to lose money!
Some have great success in the breeding barn, agreeing on a stallion is another thing entirely.

Power has 10 weanlings, 1 yearling and 7 Mares in foal to him in the May sale, plenty of opportunities to grab one.

I'd marked that page too, didn't put 2 & 2 together at the time. She has a lot of half sisters by a range of sires so good potential for enhancing that page. Selling her at auction is the most transparent way to dissolve a syndicate or partnership. I was at the MM sale when Princess Coup went under the hammer !
-
She has won enough money and has some black type, I haven't looked at the rest of the family, but it is foremost in my mind when racing fillies or mares. Good luck for both ways.

Anything coming through the pipeline for this fella,seems to have gone a bit quiet probably needs to get a wriggle on? 14 wnrs from 51 starters in Aus/NZ, Served a big book of mares last season, perhaps some bargains in the upcoming weanling sale if you like him.
The Karaka May sale of weanlings has 5 Reliable Man vs 12 Ocean Park'

Congratulations, I hope the streak continues and she becomes a great broodmare for you !

We were told that you can approach the race caller prior to the running if you need to clarify the pronunciation of your horse/dog providing you are the owner, trainer or syndicate manager.

Just check out his number of runners...I do like this horse...but somewhere along the way I recall being told they are not the best legged animals....can someone qualify this please?
I haven't had any problems with the Swiss Ace foals I have breed but I think that was a concern when he first appeared at stud, much the same as Savabeel when thoughts of the progeny maybe club footed, I guess you see faults but it isn't until the foals hit the ground that it can be confirmed or dismissed and then the race track stats confirm their ability to run.

dont see many well tried 2or 3year olds go on with it.the karaka million races will take its toll on alot.read an old racing annual recently.we had so many topline middle distance horses years ago.we still breed good stayers look at this years sydney cup result.to many impatient owners and trainers.
Look I agree with you but even before hitting the race track, you want them to show a willingness to compete & show something in training. We broke our one in as a late 3yo but even though keen, wasn't ready mentally.
-
The cost is one thing but they have to show some ability in there earlier preps to warrant persevering, got a 4yo which will go back into work soon. No good trying to syndicate a late maturing type because most people want to aim for the 2 & 3yo races and dream big !

Yes, I understand your perspective. Sometimes it is hard to do both, let someone else pay the training costs and hopefully prove your mare, but accept the loss involved in raising and selling at that end.
-
One can only hope that some of these bargains go on to do great things on the race track and gives their owners a real thrill !
It's like buying a lotto ticket, it lets you dream a little until the results come out.
-
When you see stallions serving 200+ mares, you have to wonder where you will end up in the sales if most are bred for that purpose. If you are breeding to race, it's not so much of a concern.
What is a good size book for a stallion (shuttling or not)? Going back a few years, some were capped by the stud or owners to 120
-
Well if Monaco consul only got $37k, you could have a ready made stud in NZ with proven sires very quickly and cheaply !

May Sale - as a vendor is it worth it?

The broodmare part of the sale was strong, plenty of buyers and good prices. That will probably encourage breeders to go again.
