Barmer

Seventeen winners so far in his first NH season is not to be sniffed at. No doubt the stakes successes will follow. What are his youngsters here looking like - anyone got one?

I thought he ran very green today - can only iimprove on that run

Many congratulations to Tony Bambry - it couldn't happen to a more deserving bloke.

Hear Hear! Well done to Tony Bambry - couldn't happen to a nicer bloke.

He isn't standing this year

I fink they all orta have lessons in how to talk proper before they go in the telly

So I did

Is there a way we can post photos of this season's foals - I'd love to see them, particularly the first season sires produce. Would be nice to have a dedicated thread - any chance???

You're right - UNPROFESSIONAL is the word and it's high time that Trackside encouraged their presenters take the time and effort to check with owners/trainers if they're not sure of pronounciation.

The Royals should take a couple of New Zealand hunters and let them loose in the grounds next time they want some secluded privacy. No papparazzi or photographers would lurk in the undergrowth knowing that a couple of Kiwis with guns who shoot at everything that moves are about,

If you go onto the NZR site and look at the stud book you can search for planchet and find his pedigree that way.

Are you looking for Planchet(AUS) 1999 by Canny Lad out of Penny? Can't find another one but he did nothing and only sired one foal who did nothing.

Maybe if he can't go back to Fielding he could share that cute little house in Wanganui with the Beast - then the folks of Wanganui would REALLY have something to worry about. McDonald is a far greater threat to society than the Beast. With a bit of luck the two ticking time bombs together would ignite and blow themselves to Kingdom come.

Anyone know Dance Floor's statistics as a broodmare sire? He seems to pop up quite a lot considering he was not fashionable and had comparatively few decent mares.

Why did TV1 News this evening dignify Hone Hanawera's outpourings with a subtitled translation? They should have broadcast it as it was delivered and left the Maori speakers to appreciate it. He wouldn't do that too often if he thought he wasn't reaching more than a small percentage of the population.

Because for those of us who don't want to go searching for results we are being kept up to date ofn Sir Percy's stats. Nothing to do with propoganda- leave us alone.

Nice one

Shouldn't that be mo'on?

Sad

Actually you're wrong - Typo is an abbreviation of 'typographical error' so it's quite in order to insert an apostrophe after the 'o'

You'd have to be pretty damned sentimental to be spending $2m on a horse

QUOTE: Barmer you are making this personal, seems like I have touched a nerve. I notice that you lack the courage to post under your real name too. What I have done is expose the truth and pointed out that Sir Percy’s results though satisfactory are not remarkable and I have introduced examples of other sires that are faring as well, one of whom is Indy King. No you haven't touched a nerve - I just find your dogged attempts to promote your stallion rather amusing. I look at the Sir Percy thread as I'm interested in his results - not to be bombarded with comparisons of his statistics with your stallion. Anyone who is interested in Indy King's exploits can now go onto the Indy King thread. Go in peace.

Well Lebanese would be more use internationally than Maori
