From a commercial point of view (so long as the mating makes sense) go to the best proven sire that you can afford or the best first season sire, although I can’t see one of those this year on what has been announced.
Anything spent wisely on your mare will return you well, but more importantly, it has to be for the future of the mare too.
Good luck.
I think that's pretty sound advice Insider ... she is a good mare and it's early in her breeding career. And although it seems dramatic signing up to 5 figure sums for a service fee - everything else costs the same however the young horse is bred ... and those costs will in many cases exceed the service fee ...

OK - so here is an excerpt from the Stipes' Rpt from Arawa Park today ...
GENERAL:
Stipendiary Stewards became aware on race morning that O Bosson was not attending the meeting. When contacted O Bosson’s Riders Agent advised that his wish to relinquish these rides had been agreed with the trainers involved on Saturday but due to a misunderstanding this information had not been passed on officially to the NRB or Stewards.
I don't know with certainty what the correct/accepted procedure/obligation is for a jockey/jockey's agent to undertake once they decide they are unable to attend the meeting the following day ...

Indeed ... and probably most are aware of that? ...it sure was a bit random the way it got thrown into the thread in the first place .... but maybe a response to someone mounting a case for OP to become a saint or get a knighthood for services to racing??

I'm not sure solidarity is the best descriptor for what he got up do back then ....

Well good luck with your selection. You have a nice mare and so are in a good position to negotiate a discount on many sires IMO ... J.

Have you picked out a stallion for EJ this year yet Caroline?

Jess, right click on the video and open in new tab. Then you can get it to full screen.
Oh Champion! Thanks Leggy

Probably not fair on the punters what is happening - but I don't talk outta my pocket as I'm very much a small-time punter (when I have a bet at all).
Must be darned hard when you are not a natural lightweight .... hopefully he has made hay while the sun has shone and has plenty stashed away and has the option of a change of career before the battle becomes too damaging to the body'n'soul .....

you people are stupid they did not cheat the drinking water was contaminated do you really think they would be so dumb to put caffeine in the water
Some sleepy stable-hand stumbled and slopped their double-shot espresso into their trough?

Yep Berri those videos are always like that when I try to watch them on my PC. Also - I can't get them to display full-screen - is that just me?
Cheers, J

Berri - do you mean it buffers ie. stops and starts the first time through and you can't watch the continuous flow of the race? This is how it is for me anyhow ...

Don't know about sue ... but presumably seek to recover costs?

This is the same as the Wexford farm manager, who would not appear.
So nothing was said that might have messed with the defence of the cobalt in the troughs?
And the valuable, highly strung derby thorougjbreds hanging out amongst his dairy cows, contained by most unsuitable single electic wire fences, rolling in cow pats, risking colic as they gorged on lush annual rye grass pasture, braving whatever the elements threw at them despite being accustomed to the luxury of a cosy stable, and having their elegant silken tails chewed by curious bovines as they napped on sunny afternoons ....
THAT farm manager Robert? ....

STOPPPPPP IT - or I'll hunt you both down and bang your heads together!!
Aaaaargh ....

2A2 - yes I can read - the article did not say when he stopped. What I was wanting to know was whether the enquiry or pending hearing had provided any impediment to him carrying on as usual.
-
Has he been able to carry on business as usual in the meantime awaiting the hearing?
-
So it sounds like there is no way to require attendance by way of a summons for this type of hearing?
If the hearing does not take place - or certain people refuse to take part - what are the options for sanctions against that person? Surely there must be a consequence for that eg. lifetime disqualification?
WIthout such a provision the process becomes a farce. An analogy I can think of is if you are caught for suspected drink-dirivng and you refuse to take the breath or blood tests - you get dragged to court and face a charge related to your refusal - and the penalty is as if you had were proven to have been over the limit ie: giving the middle finger to the system does not get you off the hook ...

Hey Richie - have a great weekend - don't be shy to let us know how you got on with your choice of venues! Cheers, J

Ha! -Weirdos!! - bad or intimidated be buggered! Try ... "grateful" or "relieved" !!
(To be fair mine has had his years of blitzing me on the salary front so I need to consider things on balance ... and it's me who's dug this big hole into which I throw banknotes on a regular basis so I guess it's only right I pay my way .... )
Cheers, J

Blah blah blah .....
Sorry Jazz ... but anything anyone says EVER which is followed or preceded by the words "going forward" is instantly rendered nonsense and not worth reading.
Same goes for sentences about "journeys" (unless there is real travel involved) and "let's unpack that" (unless there actually is a suitcase which needs to be relieved of its contents following the aforementioned real travel ...)
