WOODBINE 68 Report post Posted July 28 What a shame I hope this magnificent horse makes a full recovery and is back next season Great to see the stud and its management team react quickly 1 1 Dopey and Pegasus 9 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kingshill 30 Report post Posted July 29 Wow - a shame indeed as he had a full book of mares and yes, good on them for acting and informing owners quickly - so new mating decisions can be made. Lets hope he is able to shuttle next year. 1 Pegasus 9 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeepers 114 Report post Posted August 2 Don't bypass Contributer the word over here is good, and we've just flown in a Complacent yearling colt to Aust. his temperament is amazing ,even the transport people have commented on how pleasant he has been to travel,and with no paddock mates. 2 Pegasus 9 and flockofewes2 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nasrullah 158 Report post Posted August 2 Real shame about Roaring Lion. Heard many mare owners are putting mares on planes to Australia if the mares are dry or if not too close to foaling. Hopefully Cambridge Stud can find a suitable replacement for next year. New Zealand needs fresh new blood! 1 Breeder reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
