It used to be a really informative site but now it is just all gloss and no info. I can't find anywhere on the site to research a horse. Ascot, where do you do this now?

Iggi Pop raced in Australia - won the 2 mile Queensland Cup by about 6 lengths.

I'm surprised no-one made mention of this on Trackside. Yesterday at New Plymouth there were 3 starters from the same family:
Run Like Boo - out of Sequel (O'Reilly/Freequent) who is a full sister to Freequence Just Ask Me - out of Often (O'Reilly/Freequent) who is a full sister to Freequence Miss Dixie - out of Phoebe Snow (No Excuse Needed/Freequence) All 3 starters were winners
Of course Freequence is the dam of I Do and Iggy Pop

Sold all my mares. First time in 40 years that I haven't bred anything.Got 5 fillies left which if any good will go over to OZ. Bloody shame to see such a great industry raped and destroyed.

Hi Matt
I am sending two mares to CS this year, purely based on the weanling colt I already have by him - he is an absolute cracker. Good bone, good muscle, etc you cant fault him. He has everything the Aussies look for when buying horses.

I'm surprised there aren't more people doing what I am. After 40 years of racing horses in New Zealand I'm getting out as like everyone else on here, I have no faith in the Minister or the Board to do anything about the obvious mess we are in. So from now on my horses are going to Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young in Melbourne. I've just retired one racehorse which leaves me with two more in NZ and that's it. I don't like to do this to my NZ Trainer but they fully support my decision and understand.
I'll still keep my band of 5 broodmares here in NZ as I believe we have the best conditions in the Southern Hemisphere to breed top horses. I'm even buying into a stallion here so I still have faith in the breeding industry, so long as we can keep producing top horses in Australia.
Melbourne is only 3 hours away and with retirement looming, my wife and I will have an even better reason to visit that wonderful city.
Tell me why I'm making the wrong decision here - I can't think of any negatives except that I'm turning my back on a New Zealand industry which I love but is being destroyed by incompetency. At least I'm still supporting New Zealand Trainers in Melbourne.

Here's one for you Peter - Did Minardi leave a stakes winner? Well credentialed and stood at Pukekawa but pretty hopeless as a stallion, although only stood a couple of seasons I believe. Another one who stood alongside him was Rossini who wasn't any better I believe...

Yes, interesting cross Huey. Actually, I'm surprised that out of the 60 Ocean Park yearlings in the sale, there are only 6 out of O'Reilly mares which is a similar cross to Lot 193. Being a Waikato Stud stallion and also what I would have thought would be a nice cross, I'm surprised more O'Reilly mares didn't visit Ocean Park. There are far more yearlings out of Pins mares catalogued so maybe the "experts" think that Pins is a better cross for Ocean Park.
Maybe someone on here could shed some light....
