Breeder 608 Report post Posted January 25, 2016 Interesting sale so far -- David Ellis seems unusually quiet. Saving all his fire power for the Frankel colt ??? Savabeels doing very well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savabeels doing very well. Might be a case of having to be quiet , a pretty strong sale in most places. Reliable Man going well. Cape Blanco struggling. Pins & Iffraaj making a little bit of a come back Tavistock as expected. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breeder 608 Report post Posted January 25, 2016 So not long after I posted DE starts getting a few. Agree with your summary Huey but given how strong the MM was I thought it might have been stronger. If previous years are a guide tomorrow will be stronger --for some reason the second day is always better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huey 2,037 Report post Posted January 25, 2016 Hasn't Sepoy star dimmed somewhat , a $40k & $120k purchase yesterday compared to the same dizzy heights last year was getting a $1.6m yearling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breeder 608 Report post Posted January 25, 2016 The way my comments are going --with opposite happening in the end ( ie. the median and averages were well up on last year at the end of Day One ) I think I'll help NZB along a say maybe Day Two will not be so good. That way you can now guarantee Day Two will be a boomer !! Rip Van Winkle is the other sire taking a hit , compared to previous years.

From memory,I think trainer O'brien had a lot of trouble with his feet throughout his racing career.Not sure about his offspring,but also needed an easing in the track to show his best.

Breeder 608 Report post Posted January 26, 2016 Swoopa I haven't looked at the Premier Cat. that hard as it is total dreamland stuff for me but on paper I liked Lot 281 which sold for only $30k so I presume there was something not quite right with her. Later I like the look of Lot 398 and Lot 405 Swoopa 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdytdy 5,341 Report post Posted January 26, 2016 I will definitely be buying at least one of each at the Select Sale, what type yet to be considered. Will leave that final decision to the day. Breeder, Swoopa and biff 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biff 2,158 Report post Posted January 26, 2016 We'll probably buy a weanling from the May sale, or from a sale in Oz, we need a colt as we only have one colt here, he needs a mate, a fight club buddy, our paddocks are full of sheilas.......young and old!

gubellini 3,995 Report post Posted January 26, 2016 Good to see the Darci Brahmas selling better. Mastercraftsman and Rip Van Winkle seem to have gone out of fashion. Be interesting to see how they fare in the Select and Festival Sales. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breeder 608 Report post Posted January 26, 2016 My wild prediction is that the Rip Van Winkles will start doing well in the autumn/winter ---my only reason for saying this is so often you see stallions go out of fashion at the sales and then in the year following they start to perform.

Huey 2,037 Report post Posted January 26, 2016 $1.3m for a horse by a stallion that hasn't left a runner yet and to top it off by a stallion whose sire sons in NZ haven't been overly popular at this sale RVW & Cape Blanco. Fastnet,Redoutdes,Snitzels,E&Es,Tavistocks even Savabeels aren't going for that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly the best in my lifetime which stretches back to the first half of last century. Swoopa 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insider 3,947 Report post Posted January 26, 2016 Rip Van Wrinkle. I have heard on the grapevine that he's not returning to the Northern Hemesphere. If it's true that's good news as he will make it down here. Things are slowly building momentum for him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breeder 608 Report post Posted January 26, 2016 I agree with you Huey. There are plenty of very good racehorses with very good pedigrees and were very good types who failed as stallions. In NZ recently the most obvious one was St Reims --good race horse, good pedigree and fantastic type but = failure. Don Eduardo was not much better. If we looked at Australia and Europe we'd find the same. But having said that, the colt could turn out to be a bargain if Frankel fires as a stallion and the colt succeeds on the track ( especially with prize money the way it is in Australia and Asia) Fartoomuch 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
