            So if this Group 1 winning mare only sells for 480K NZ what will Wolverine sell for..... Widden Stud secures Bonny Lass By  NZ Racing Desk  -  May 16, 2025 Bonny Lass Photos Angelique Bridson. Group One-winning mare Bonny Lass (NZ) (Super Easy) will head across the Tasman after being bought by Widden Stud for $480,000 on Gavelhouse Plus on Thursday. Bonny Lass was a Group winner as a two, three, four, five and six-year-old for owner-breeder Sandy Moore, co-owners Brent and Wendy Cooper and the Social Racing Starting Gates Syndicate. From the stable of Matamata trainers Graham Richardson and Rogan Norvall, her 26-race career produced eight wins, eight placings and $774,950 in stakes. Widden Stud principal Antony Thompson was thrilled to secure another quality mare with Group One racetrack credentials like Bonny Lass. “Her two and three-year-old form was what really drew us to her,” Thompson said. “She raced on as an older horse and continued to perform well while being reasonably lightly raced, but when you delve into her two-year-old form, she won her first couple of starts very impressively including a Group Two. She followed that up with two very solid Group One placings against some high-quality opposition, like I Wish I Win (NZ) (Savabeel) and Sword Of State (Snitzel). “Her ability to compete against the boys in some of those top-level sprints showed that she’s a mare with plenty of class. “We weren’t able to inspect her physically ourselves, but we benefited from some high-quality photos and videos. I’m also a friend of the Bakers at Hallmark Stud, and I could rely on Mark’s feedback. He was very forthcoming in his description of the mare and really gave me the confidence to bid on her.” Bonny Lass is set to be a high-quality addition to the first book of mares for Southport Tycoon, who will stand at Widden Victoria next spring for an introductory service fee of A$38,500. The son of Written Tycoon won four races including the Group One Australian Guineas (1600m) and Manikato Stakes (1200m). “I bought Bonny Lass with Southport Tycoon in mind,” Thompson said. “I thought she’d be a lovely sort of mare for his first book. He’s a Group One-winning sprinter and Guineas winner. She seems like a good fit. “There’s a bit to work with on the pedigree side of things too, with Bonny Lass having Darci Brahma and Danehill along the top line, along with Centaine. For a young horse at stud, she appeals as a nice mare to help him get started.” Entries are now open on Gavelhouse Plus for the National Online Breeding Stock Sale to be held from 27th June to 9th July and are also open for gavelhouse.com’s next fortnightly mixed bloodstock sale.

            Mark Jones' original post on Facebook is spot on. Everything I've seen since is hysterical, uninformed, inaccurate, and in many cases defamatory. You might notice that he doesn't point the finger at any owners or trainers as being at fault, and neither should anybody else.

            2 year old bonus

            By Lamour.2 · Posted 3 hours ago

            The first 2 year old to win the bonus this season only had the one start & then took off to Aussie. I can’t help but think that was money down the drain.

            2 year old bonus

            By Lamour.2 · Posted 3 hours ago

            I see only 4 starting in the 2 year old race at Addington tonight.  Obviously the bonus system is having no effect on starters.  HRNZ should scrap this and either squirrel the money away for a rainy day or they could get hold of 30 or so mares & put them in foal to boost breeding numbers with the money saved. I have benefited myself from the bonus but lets face it, every owner wants to get their horse to the races as soon as they can regardless of whether there is a bonus or not.

            Chestnut foals

            By JBL · Posted 4 hours ago

            @ chestnuts -  in particular one on chromosome 1 showed a strong association (Fig 9). This region on chromosome 1 contains MYPN, a gene encoding for myopalladin, which is expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscles and has an important role in regulating actin organization in humans [40]. One previous study reported this gene as undergoing positive selection in horses - https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0218407 Japanese Thoroughbred Racehorses.

            The review shall reveal all, but safe to say you once again, along with a quite a few others, are taking aim in the wrong direction.

            Best thing the Don could do is when he meets Putin, on neutral territory is he grabs him and hands him over to authorities, should have done that with fat fella from Korea when he had the chance but Putin won't front.
