Who is supposed to be overseeing all these failures that I keep on stumbling upon?
Don’t know Kev, but that could be why I keep getting email notifications from Alabar that shares in these yearlings are still available!
They are still available. I don't know whether they are supposed to be listed on https://www.thetrots.com.au/
What I do know is that clicking on Syndications should not put you in a meaningless loop
It used to redirect to raceapacer but that website is down and the facebook and twitter have gone private. Possibly raceapacer has finished up?
Yes, Mark Hoare has closed down RaceaPacer.
A poster suggested to me that a better way to spend the $115k would be to lease a stallion and make services to him free but this would be putting a lot of eggs in one basket and would no doubt upset many stallion owners
I have gone back to post 8 in this thread as I knew that I had read suggestions that I liked the sound of.
I can see how Dot's idea could be a good interim measure which would share the services around
Little doubt that many breeders, particularly with the drought conditions in Victoria, are very price sensitive and a suitable sire offered free could attract a very large book. The precedent has been set, the connections of Mr Feelgood very generously offered him at no service fee several seasons ago, no doubt that was the season he covered 347 mares, 140 mares more then in his next best season ( where he was still offered at a reduced but not free service fee) and over 200 more then in any other season.
I imagine a free quality sire would certainly attract some mares that would not have otherwise been bred and some from stallions that breeders would have paid a service fee too. Presumably leasing a sire would not be a single season occurrence but would rotate through a roster of suitable sires from year to year so sharing around the benefits and burdens.
A poster suggested HRV should approach the Riseleys about coming to an arrangement for Lennytheshark.
Empire (going to frozen only) didn't get him many and it could be the promotion he needs
Could lead to a little Laz v Lenny, state v state, silver tails v the battlers rivalry in the future! Could be interesting......
