  1. NZ's largest stable has 9 entries for Saturday at Ellerslie.
  2. I think some people buy two or three horses at the $20-$60K mark knowing that if they get one right, it can still be a profitable transaction after all. If they get 2 right they are well ahead, 3 right and in clover. So I think the overall purchases have to be looked at. Hence Wexford also purchased Molly Bloom from the same sale.
  3. In fairness at the prices they may have been brought for different purposes too.
  4. They saved themselves some amount of money by having the sale.....ouch!!
  5. strathayr track horse racing I think people may be getting confused with Strathayr track not synthetic.
  6. Just back to pre covid level. Probably a fairer valuation.
  7. Thanks Leggy for this. I was referring more to the fact that whips are used in most riding disciplines, it is just horse racing that is on TV makes an easier target. No overarm I can understand. If the animal groups want animal cruelty it is not in racing that it will be found at large. The amount of dogs and cats being bred (sold on social media) for people that would not know how to look after a toy is frightening....
  8. Was watching this old famous ad recently. There is reference here to pulling the beast out of the swap and things have gone wrong.....this could not be shown now for cruelty reasons. People are too far removed from the farm nowadays and don't understand dealing and living with livestock.
  9. Eventing, Cross country, pony club too? Whips are all the way through the game. To me its the name "whip" that is wrong. I think it is the jockey's (and ex jockeys) that should be making this call.......not the animal right groups. Just my opinion.
  10. I hear you all and understand the argument. But I just don't think we can go down this road. People are getting too far removed from the farm to educate nowadays. Animal experience and education is done by social media now.
  11. If anyone thinks removing the whip from racing will appease the animal activists they are sadly mistaken. The animals activists will not stop till racing is stopped, they get more removed from reality everyday. I personally would not give them any oxygen.
  12. I think Emily rightfully wanted to stop his whip rant.
  13. RIP BC. Was driving past his place on Saturday and was thinking of him, always good company. Apparently he won his golf tournament yesterday too before he moved on.
