  1. I think Select is going to be down just looking at some of the prices Goodness knows what Festival will look like.....I feel that a lot of good horses are sold overseas including our future breeding stock, stakes to race in NZ are low and this will impact on the quality of horses being bred...sad really
  2. For a bit there I thought yay maybe I can keep something I breed and race it = no...I hope there are some changes NZ Racing is in a sad way. Meeting on 28 March then probably another 3 months before anything done.....
  3. Put them on trademe I bought a 1985 one off there
  4. Hi guys this mare 2002 is on thoroughbred gatekeepers facebook page in Aussie by Pentire 3 x Group placed one of them the Launceston cup 2nd. She's ended up with the meat man a 80k inglis purchase they want 1k for her bred in NZ.....just pass it around or follow them on facebook. Admin please remove if not allowed. Cheers
  5. Feeding and Nutrition - The Making of a Champion by John Kohnke Australia it covers all horses not just thorougbred but a great book!
  6. What a bloody embarrassment! No accountability and who looks after those that are out of pocket travelling horses to a non race!! It is not worth it - the risk to riders, horses, if this was any other business Worksafe or OSH would have them for providing an unsafe work environment.
  7. Sorry I see it on the NZTR site "the 3yr old race has been deleted"
  8. Um can anyone tell me why the 3yr old race has been removed from Saturday's card? Many who were nominated are also nominated for the Guineas - is this a regular occurrence, nothing on NZTR site. Many thanks
  9. As long as there are poor stakes across the board in NZ the good horses that used to grace the tracks will all be going to Oz or sold overseas. This lays at the feet of those running the show.
  10. I think at the end of the day you look at all three: Pedigree, Type, Performance, I do however know an Australian trainer that has two advisor's one looks purely at pedigree the other on type. As for temperament well some believe a lot of that comes from the mare, even though it is well documented around certain stallions/lines so that is an assessment made on pedigree or knowing said stallion. This year I have taken pedigree advice from someone I respect and although there were several choices of stallion I have chosen the ones that complement the mares physically but....then the phenotype/genotype equation comes in - complicated really. No magic bullet otherwise every breeder would be producing Group1 winners. I'll let you know how I get on. Regards
  11. That would be Don't Doubt Mama winner of the Let's Elope at Flemington.....sorry
  12. And the last two Biff the only one I want has no film?
  13. Don't Tell Mama 3 X 4 Danehill but also carries 4 X 5 Nijinsky II and has Denise's Joy as 4th Dam.
  14. Was just looking at the results thinking he's had a very good day!!
  15. Was there any mention on the night re Prince of Penzance I thought a NZ bred Melbourne Cup winner would get a mention?
  16. From my point of view I think we're all punters and as someone on a single income with one broodmare trying my best to produce a better racehorse than his/her mother just maybe I am a bigger punter than some!
  17. I have just watched the Queensland Minister for Racing on the ABC news here regarding the reopening after a 50 million upgrade. The facilities look great and she was saying the investment is hoped to bring bigger and better racing events to Qld. I haven't been in NZ for some time but wish that the powers that be can see what investment in the industry might bring for NZ racing rather than us being the supplier of great horses to Australia although with the stakes on offer here it is probably a better option to fly a good horse over. Congrats to all for their success today☺☺
  18. Thanks Nasrullah it's a great way to see the lots you're interested in when you can't make the sale
  19. Tavistock free of Danehill and Zabeel
  20. Good luck - I know how successful you guys have been in Australia it's a great to have another option when selling stock
  21. Puha excuse my ignorance but when you say NZTR does not support the club do you mean they provide the stakes or nothing at all - I was just asking could these small country clubs Gissy, Wairoa etc be allowed on course bookies or is this banned? Just make it more of a country picnic races set it apart from the regular racing fare as Gissy has always been well supported by outside trainers etc...and would provide a bit of competition from the people that do show up.
  22. Didn't hurt Black Caviar or Seattle Slew
  23. You can search this topic on this site as it has been discussed before - I seem to remember Somethingroyal produced Secretariat at age 18. Some buyers won't buy from mares over a certain age as they won't buy first foals but doubt it's across the board. If you're not selling then it doesn't matter
  24. I can use the NZB catalogue now - they have removed the little grey side toggle so you can just scroll freely through the pages As soon as I emailed my problem they replied and have been in touch since - great service
