Baz (NZ) 1,722 Report post Posted February 20, 2020 Some good judges purchased them at Karaka 2020 could be your best answer here? Ciaron Maher x 2, John Foote, Roger James & Robert Wellwood, Guy Mulcaster, Andrew Campbell, Moira Murdoch, Lance Robinson & Kenny Rae.

jeepers 276 Report post Posted February 24, 2020 This stallion seemed to have a low fertility rate in his second year and I have heard of a number of breeders that seemed to have missed this last season. Does he have a problem or was it just the season? I am told that his 2yo's seem to go alright in track work but none out there yet, not that one would expect them to make 2yo's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully OK now That is very disappointing to learn.A mare of ours that has never missed to early services, was still trying to get in foal in December. At an one stage we were phoned by the stud and told the mare was in the serving barn but the horse wouldn't serve her, and do we want to use another of their stallions. Unfortunately she wasn't served that round, as the horse was obviously having problems. Shame we were not told the real facts at the start of the season so we could have booked to another commercial stallion elsewhere. Annual Grazing fees and charges at the stud wasted. dock leaf 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took the mare to Australia in early August,served on a natural heat on 6 Sept and in foal straight away.One wonders if it was their stallion or incompetence.

Insider 3,942 Report post Posted December 24, 2020 Contributer is certainly kicking a few goals here and in Australia. Two starters and two winners at Matamata two days ago. Good class winners in Australia too. As three year olds they seem to like 1400m + but not always. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeepers 276 Report post Posted December 29, 2020 Yes there are plenty of Contributers running and going well but what of the Complacents. Are they around or are their temperaments in question.? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeepers 276 Report post Posted March 9, 2021 Hopefully the horse has got over his serving issues which were a disaster for my mare in the 2019 season,especially when the stud phones you from the serving barn saying the horse won't serve my mare,without telling you the truth as to why. Not the way to treat a client who patronized them for 5years..Sadly I didn't want to risk another season at that stud in 2020.
