Blue 1,080 Report post Posted February 20, 2019 Interesting summation Tim. I'm only streaming it on my computer but it looked to be a bloody good sale to me which could be considered a little surprising given recent social media comment generally tolling the death knell for harness racing. What do others think? Newmarket RC and Iraklis 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stables 577 Report post Posted February 20, 2019 It was an improvement but a lot of trainers will now be heading home desparately trying to think of people they can contact to form syndicates so they can pay for the horses they've bought Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newmarket RC 209 Report post Posted February 20, 2019 4 hours ago, Taku Umanga said: What credit terms were offered? Buy a filly , you had to put 25% up front then balance over 3 years. Others were by arrangement and would be based on your abilty to pay and previous credit record. Same as the TB code, you can ask for 30-60 days which i found was usually given. Some got even longer so they could complete syndication Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooby3051 10,694 Report post Posted February 20, 2019 Just dont understand...everyone should be over the moon... the sales were so successful... and I would of though they would be thanking NZB for the fantastic job they did...but oh no got to be negative as per usual...time to move on guys all get on the same train work together for the good of all participants, same as the Galloping industry needs to do..pull together to survive...not infight and be negative.

Blue 1,080 Report post Posted February 20, 2019 Probably a surprise to many when MP bought a fill for just $16K though his clients bought some hefty stuff. Then again so did John Street in what looks to be taking on the AS head to head. New season 2 year old racing should be something to look forward to. Cran and Reidman were fairly active too.

tim vince 985 Report post Posted February 21, 2019 I still think we have worries in the north.less than a 100 to northern trainers .extrapolate that out to racing in 2 years time to those who will race. A third maybe.overall u have to say nzb standardbred have bought a new dimension to the sales. Fartoomuch 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do others think? I heard one auction where they mentioned during the bidding "subject to conditions ". Not sure that it meant the credit conditions are set when that bidder auctually secured the horse or someone was bidding but was yet to register.

Blue 1,080 Report post Posted February 22, 2019 I think I heard that too. Wondered if possibly the horse had got an injury en route to the sale or something. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
