Faltaat's sold well at the South Island Sale this year

How did you load your photo. We have had 4 so far. 2 colts and 2 fillies - the colts are clients and the fillies ours.

Istidaad would be my choice for an underrated sire. Has winners every week and last week 2nd top Stallion in the Informant charts. Would love to know what his stats are. Now, one of his big winning daughters, JustaTad is producing her own winners. This stallion would also have to be one of the nicest natured horses around - we have a new filly who at 2 weeks comes running up to be itched and to itch you back with nibbles in return. If you sit down beside her, she lies down and puts her head on you & May, her mum lies the other side of you. Quite magic. Istidaad has winners overseas as well as NZ

If this is so?

So sad all around - racing has also lost out a colourful character.

It is quite sad really how someone with so much money, throws it at the horses to dream the dream and be someone important to racing/breeding/selling, then runs into hard times and sells up. It affects so many people employed in the industry and takes so many down the slippery slope with them. It is these people one has to be sad for as they have to find other jobs, not easy in this market. Most would have families to care for.

Alamosa, Bullbars, Chinese Dragon, El Hermano, Handsome Ransom, Lucky Unicorn, Makfi, O'Reilly, Pentire, Playmaker, Pour Moi, Redwood, Rios, Showcasing, Towkay. If you have a mare with Mill Reef, & want a match - plenty to chose from in the above NZ standing stallions. Octasong carries Millicent, 1/2 sister to Mill Reef. There may be other relatives from that line among the stallions that someone can enlarge on.

Angelique write re her stallion standing at Green Acres. King of Roses. He stood in Australia before coming to NZ. This thread is about his Australian runners who seem to be doing very well. "You can see it on Arion stallion pages site under Runners page. He has had 6 winners in past 3weeks. Including first starter “The Four Ladsâ€

Was reading the article in the Informant this week on this family. Very interesting when you go back to the breeding of Holiday Scene on the bottom line. Very closely bred and thought to have set the stage for her very good decendants. She is bred 2 x 3 to full siblings Samphire and Lady Juror. Has very large collection of top winning decendants, generation after generation. Goes back to Miss Agnes line, family 16

Black type for this horse too - G3
