Breeder 298 Report post Posted August 10, 2019 The latest Inglis Online Sale ( running each fortnight now) has an interesting lot. A stallion retired due to injury. I say interesting because you would have thought he would have been able to be sold privately and not going unreserved in this sale. Good pedigree, obviously a good type given his yearling sale price and did well in the races he ran in. https://inglisdigital.com/lot/30000050.118.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dopey 127 Report post Posted August 15, 2019 I like your posts on interesting lots and potential sire Breeder - insightful out of the box thinking - keep on it as I feel you will land on something. Remember Sir T was not that well performed on first look but obviously was more than ok as a sire Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Breeder 298 Report post Posted August 15, 2019 Dopey, I think for young people (I'm well past it !) wanting have a go in the stud business there some possibilities to buy in Australia. With so many people now buying yearlings to try "to make a stallion" there are always going to be plenty that are good types and with a reasonable pedigree which will not make it for some reason or rather. They have to win at least one Group 1 and preferably 2+ to make it. Any that win a minor group race or just win several races are "discarded" and often sell quite cheaply (Dracarys above, was sold for A$45K to Brace Racing). The Aussies seem to be quite brutal in their decision making on when to "drop" a horse. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepers 135 Report post Posted August 16, 2019 An interesting relatively new stallion at stud in Aust is Hardham. He's by Redoute's Choice from Nureyev's Girl thus a full brother to Kings Rose. K's R has already left a gr winner in Satono Arther by Deep Impact.Hardham won $657150 was a Gr2 winner and seemed to have S Moody and Sir Patrick Hogan among his owners. He doesn't seem to be advertised so may only be used Privately but I've noticed a couple of mares sold in foal to him on these past Digital sales. What a great way to sell they are,full credit to Inglis. 1 Breeder reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A $1m yearling by Snitzel ( stud fee over $200,000 now ) with Redoubtes Choice and Danehill bloodlines ?! $45k might prove money very well spent.
