Shad 958 Report post Posted January 29 Be giving them away in book 3, bargains galore, you got just as much chance of getting a winner from that sale, as the premier day, 2 GOM and Huey reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Breeder 292 Report post Posted January 29 The same discussion happens each year at this stage of the sale week. This year is not much different to last year's Book 2. Average as TN says is $27,500 vs $30,000 for the whole of Book 2 last year. Clearance rate is a little down 71% vs 73% but it is day one. As for Book 3 -- the vendors keep nominating them each year and they could withdraw them once they know they are Book 3 but most don't. Credit to NZB, they continue to "play with" the sale format to try improve the situation for everyone --Book 3 is smaller and on Friday and not Sunday as it has been in previous years. 1 Dopey reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue 631 Report post Posted January 29 Would you not get more bargain hunters there on Sunday as opposed to Friday when many hobby buyers are working? Will be interesting to see. 1 Pam Robson reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Breeder 292 Report post Posted January 29 Interesting question Blue. The other thing this year is Book 2 finishes mid day Friday, so how many buyers will hang around for the afternoon for Book 3 ? We will find out on Friday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blue 631 Report post Posted January 30 Quote Crustyngrizzly: Can anybody tell me if Cambridge Stud,Waikato Stud,Pencarrow Stud or Windsor Park have horses in book 2/3. Nope. Haunui has 4 or 5, Highview has 4 by Wrote, Mapperly has half a dozen and Westbury around thirty. The rest from smaller breeders. 1 crustyngrizzly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Breeder 292 Report post Posted January 30 There are yearlings from those studs prepared by other farms. Kiltannon Stables appear to have prepared the Cambridge Stud book 2 horses eg. Lots 862, 908 & 972 are Tavistocks from CS mares. Similarly Pencarrow usually do the same for Book 2 yearlings. Phoenix Park have one, lot 1045. There could be more --I know last year they seem to spread them around a bit. 1 crustyngrizzly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

premixer 66 Report post Posted January 30 Question time from someone pretty green about the breeding side. How do they decide what horses go in book 1/2/3? I'm assuming they charge a premium to have your horse entered in book 1 versus 2 and 3? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She isn't a big filly but has a nice bit of length and strength about her and a lovely loose effortless walk. We couldn't get near anything else we were after apart from the other Iffraaj filly we were under bidder on. 1 Swoopa reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Breeder 292 Report post Posted January 30 Good luck with the Iffraaj filly Aaron. She looks like a nice filly ( from looking at the video) and as Swoopa says a very good family. 1 Aaron Bidlake reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
