Tauhei Notts 1,413 Report post Posted September 9, 2020 Sometimes you see a three year old at this time of the year who stands up and says "look at me". I think this Savabeel filly did so at Matamata today. I note that she is late foal; she would still be a two year old when the 1000 Guineas is run. She is out of an O'Reilly mare who won three races, two of them in Perth. They thought this filly was pretty good so sent her out $1.60 favourite and she won like an odds-on pop.

Plenty have done that before and gone on to ...not much. If CB wins effortlessly at, say, Ellerslie, on a Saturday in October, I may have to change my mind!

You could have got $3.30FF last night. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slam dunk 1,317 Report post Posted September 9, 2020 On the other hand Te akau's No Limit somewhat disappointing considering the $1.4M price tag. Strange sort of purchase presumably as stallion prospect. Looks rather classy but not much scope and difficult to see it developing. Maybe real firm tracks its best hope.

My notes show that Cornflower Blue was around $3.80 for a race it was scratched in, but $1.90 for the race that it won. Good shopping if you're correct...

scoobysnacks 386 Report post Posted September 9, 2020 Well then I'm stumped! Because I did my selections at 4pm and CB was paying $1.90. Nevermind! Good value you got there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmm....yes, a bit disappointing regardless of the price tag. If you look back a bit, several of their stallion syndicate buys have gone better with their nuts out but it seems it only takes one or two group wins to make something into a viable breeding proposition. I guess that's what a good pedigree is all about. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Limits 1.4 mill return so far 600 bucks , Lethal now gelded 1.025 mill return so far 3600 , Byzantine was a breeding syndicate gelded , 200k return 32k now retired . Embellish on the plus side though plus a few others no doubt . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littletramp 390 Report post Posted September 10, 2020 The Iffraj horse that ran 2nd to Cornflower Blue at the Te Teko trials on 18th August may be ok if this form holds up. It's unnamed at present. One to watch out for? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littletramp 390 Report post Posted December 13, 2020 Congrats to Greg Mcarthy who bred Ayrton, retains a share and deserves any good fortune being handed out in life. I guess the next move is to wait for the horse that beat him in the trial at Traralgon on 30th November to line up. He looked equally impressive.
