napier 339 Report post Posted April 11, 2020 Why has it taken 15 days to finally sort out boarder controls ?.....Its been an absolute joke... Borders should have been shut from day one but no Cindy (or her advisors) were scared about the racist card being thrown at them.

Trump 2,741 Report post Posted April 11, 2020 A Good Judge once told me that Raise The Flag was one of the best bred Stallions to enter NZ. His progeny just need patient owners. von Smallhaussen 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shad 1,554 Report post Posted April 11, 2020 Very true, and many probably haven't, I know someone who has one and has been very patient, but sometimes wonders if that day will ever come, as he is a 5yr old now, and has had many other issues along the way.We live in hope.

QCR 6 Report post Posted April 12, 2020 RTF was not a runner, but obviously he’s by Sadlers Wells and his dam has left 5 group one winners (4 by Danehill and one by Green Desert) plus one G2 winner Dansili, who himself has sired an Arc winner, and then Raise the Flag. So, I’m with that judge. And for for $4k, if you had a Danehill line mare and didn’t mind an eternal float ride, why wouldn’t you? Patience is key. Etah James is racing at her very best right now. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.racingpost.com/bloodstock/hasili-influence-deepens-as-son-raise-the-flag-supplies-first-group-1-winner/431457/amp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some interesting runners over sticks today at Pakenham, Sir Isaac Newton brother of multiple Group 1 winners , Royal Ascot winner in younger days and was once highest priced yearling of age group in Europe 3.6 mill guineas nearly 8 million. Nzd . Decent horse but he's burnt some cash . Ancient King Italian Derby 3rd in 2013 , stormed home . Bold Bandit brought straight out of win in Northern Irish point to point into OZ .
