Breeder 609 Report post Posted March 6, 2019 There were quite a few new stallions last year so I would not be surprised if there are not many new ones this year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruby 160 Report post Posted March 8, 2019 Actually be quite interesting to see numbers of mares covered this last season - and I see the South Island NZB catalogue has half the entries compared to last year. New stallions can come but apart from the big breeders will there be enough outside mares.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, what I find interesting is that there is a lot of dialogue coming out about the lack of horses on the ground in the future from the likes of NZTR i.e. no one breeding etc , yet there is absolutely nothing being done to get people back into breeding no incentives etc just a load platitudes. I think a lot of the studs are trying especially the smaller ones , but where are the incentives to breed for those breeders who are borderline breeding there are plenty of disincentives but no support to push persons to go again, or rethink putting their mare to stud if they haven't been for a few years and try to get the industry up and going in the future.

With the local racing industry in free fall, what the hell is the point in breeding? A healthy racing industry is all the incentive needed.

Nasrullah 180 Report post Posted March 11, 2019 Depends if you own a mare. Not serving a broodmare you own them devalues them anyway as well as the rest of the family. Better serving them with cheaper stallion with upside than not serving them at all! Getting the progeny of a mare a chance out on the race track is important. If you don't want to risk $15,000 service fee there is a range to choose between $4,000 and $10,000. Ask nicely and if you have a well bred mare and they even give you a discount!!!

Racehorses don't just appear over night I'm sure you know that, the trouble with racing in this country is there is no long term planning or vision thats why its on the rocks.

I agree there are some attractive breed to race horses in that price range , some unproven but with nice pedigrees/race track performances the likes of Telperion,Complacent,Derryn,Vanbrugh and War Decree.

The perfect number in my opinion. He should get about 70 foals, which is more than enough to do a nice job on the track if they are good enough. I seriously dislike stallions that cover huge books as the quality of the results is certainly diluted in my opinion.

bazach 133 Report post Posted March 13, 2019 Interesting to see 25 broodmares in the Gavelhouse auction this week, and a good number over the last while. Although the studs like Waikato are putting a few on this site, many have notations such as "owner getting out of breeding", or "owner downsizing", or "owner has too many...." etc etc. Just another sign of the many issues surrounding racing which have been slowly accumulating for the last 30 years plus.

Insider 3,961 Report post Posted March 14, 2019 Yes look at the results over a long period of successful stallions... % of Stakes Winner to foals in each crop. There is a definite trend there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nasrullah 180 Report post Posted March 29, 2019 Staphanos Timeform 123. Makes him the highest rated of the stallions discussed above so far. Should sell well to Australians given Arrowfield taking a lead and that he was a multiple Group One horse in Hong Kong they will know him also .

chiknsmack 490 Report post Posted March 29, 2019 Great horse, no big signature win so a very nice stud fee. Eminent could be the same, if he doesn't beat Winx in a couple of weeks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep saw that on Trackside yesterday also, I dohope they don't price him as poorly as the other Savabeel at stud could be a good bread and butter option for the smaller breeder.
