    Another new stakes winner last night in Singapore- Mr Clint easy winner of Singapore Guineas G1
    This sire is leaving classic colts and fillies with 100+ foals on the ground going forward.
    Remember that he had the Cambridge Stud start.

    This young trainer is one of NZ’s finest. He operates a very good operation and his reporting/feedback to owners is outstanding

    Congratulations Chris.
    The NZ Racing Hall of Fame was delighted to induct you earlier this year and we vividly recall your fabulous induction interview with Steve Davis

    WOODBINE got a reaction from La Zip in Almanzor   
    The acquisition of this stallion is a very good result for NZ breeders. Also as a grandson of Iffraaj this also validates this sireline with his Champion sons Turn Me Loose and Ribchester standing in Australasia in 2018
    Ribchester was a serious racehorse and multiple Group One winner and as a Champion Miler would be a great sire prospect.
     Almanzor was a great racehorse and as a stayer will cross well with our stout bloodlines. 
    We also overlook the success of Iffraaj on our shores. He sired three winners today - two at Riccarton and one at Te Rapa. I believe his broodmares will be very successful. We are very lucky to have him available in NZ

    WOODBINE got a reaction from Turny in B De Lore on the Messara appointment   
    Pound for Pound has questioned the success of Ra Ora during Brian De Lore’s tenure as General Manager and also the success of their stallions subsequent to the sale back from Arrowfield to the Fisher family .
    Ra Ora stood champion sires Famous Star, Nassipour and Straight Strike during the Fisher owned period. In fact the Stud achieved a famous first when they stood the Champion Sire of Australia and the Champion Sire of NZ at the same time. So the stud has certainly achieved milestones during De Lore’s management time.
    So let’s get our facts correct.

    Showcasing is having a magnificent season  - look at today’s Wakefield’s Stakes G2 result. 1st and 3rd.
    Look at his Singapore results multiple winners each meeting.
    Haunui has two world class stallions and their 3rd horse Belado is a very interesting stallion prospect.
    Well down Mark, Shannon and your team

    I purchased an unraced 2 year old Pentire filly for $1500 several years ago Her 1st foal was a Colt by a proven but uncommercial stallion and two experts informed me that the foal lacked scope and was foalified I sold him for $50k at weanling sales. He was re-presented at the yearling sales where he sold for a record auction price for his sire and is now in Ciaron Maher’s stable in Melbourne 
    i have his 1/2 sister in Book 1 So bargains can be found

    Showcasing and Iffraaj are the best sires of 2 year olds this season
    They are standing for 35,000 Euros and 45,000 Euros respectively in the current northern breeding season 
    Their service fees in NZ are massively discounted by Haunui
    Trust breeders will appreciate the quality of these two international sires

    This is a very good idea. Steve Davis would do a very good job as a narrator for such a film.
    It would be an opportunity to introduce a wide range of stallions to potential breeders.
    The Waikato and Auckland branches of NZTBA should take up this initiative

    WOODBINE got a reaction from Pam Robson in First Season Sire Predictions   
    We have selected Belado as a mate for our Pentire mare. His G1 race wins were impressive and he is quality individual 
    He is probably the best 1st season sire out of Europe to stand at stud in NZ
    Haunui Farm under Mark Chitty's leadership is a stud going places

    WOODBINE got a reaction from Breeder in Showcasing is a smart sire   
    Haunui has an excellent international stallion line up. Probably the best sire offering at any NZ farm.
    Showcasing has 330 foals from his last three SH foal crops so there is a lot more progeny yet to race. In the U.K. He stands for PDS 25,000 which is the high esteem in which is placed in the NH. Power stands in the UK for PDS 8,000 but stands for the same fee in NZ

    David Bennett has been MP for Hamilton East for many years and is likely to retain his seat at this year's elections.
    He is a dairy farmer and I am aware that he has attended Racing events in Hamilton. I hope that he does a good job in this important portfolio.

    WOODBINE got a reaction from Pherozity1 in Iffraaj - a quality stallion   
    Another Group winning 3 year old by Iffraaj in Brisbane today
    I understand that Iffraaj is a sire that has not previously been supported by the major studs so this may change in 2017
    Based on his progeny's current race results that he is NZ's best 3 year old stallion and most promising dam sire
