Breeder 599 Report post Posted January 26, 2016 Just transferring a link Berri put up on the racing section which is well worth reading as it has relevance to breeding and the sales http://www.agakhanstuds.com/History/PrincessZahraAgaKhan/en Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to see how they fare in the Select and Festival Sales. Mastercraftsman progeny a disaster at Premier sale. 17 entries and at last count 12 passed in at reasonably low reserves IMHO. Fortunately we wont be seeing him any more as not on WP roster this season. On a slightly different tack i found it perplexing that there was not 1 Per Incanto in Premier sale.

Not quite sure why they have "gone out of fashion" NM. Both have had some impressive performers this season including arguably the top 3yo filly Capella ( Let her Rip ) and rising staying star Sacred Master.

Perhaps its just a case of commercial realism or put another way owners/trainers don't want to buy them anymore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huey 2,037 Report post Posted February 1, 2016 I think RVW is suffering from the haven't left a headline act yet syndrome, there were some pretty good judges on them at the sales like Moroney,McKee, Cataldo etc. Tavistock was the same once VSB came along he was deemed worthy and kicked on. Capella might be the headline act he is looking for she looks a bit special, I'd love one and they can only get better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montjeu is another one to put in that category breeder. It's a double edged sword, if they have a mediocre start support drops and they dont return but if they take off like High Chap they dont return either. Sacred Master could be a flagbearer in Australian staying races this year Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
