John Clydesdale 229 Report post Posted February 5, 2022 Good to see a stallion born and raced in NZ delivering a good 2YO performer in Sydney, albeit a restricted race. I was on track when he streeted the 3YO’s in the 2000 Guineas by a margin on hard track, as impressive as you could get, but as a stallion he ended up at Newhaven in the Hunter Valley, a stud renowned for appreciating NZ talent. Hope the 2YO goes to the Slipper, even to show we can breed stallions that can deliver some early speed in the cauldron of Australian precocity.

Mill Reef 119 Report post Posted February 5, 2022 Indeed John, great line of yearlings, in fact for how they looked and sold I'd expected a little more but hopefully this filly will set him on his way. Be good to see the Pentire male line continued too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palatable 38 Report post Posted February 6, 2022 We're starting to let a few slip through our fingers. Heroic Valour is off to a cracking start in Queensland. I would have only expected Xtravagant to leave distance types 3yr+ so Xtravagant Star is a surprise. Will be interesting to see what she eventually steps out to.
