Ch2 ODDS AND ENDS - not big enough for a thread of their own

A new sire for everybody
Night of the Stars
You can see why you might give him a try in the barn
Star Galleria is his half bro while super producer Star of Venus is his full sis (think Self Assured)
But he has only sired two, both 3yo's with Split Ear debuting tonight in R1 at Kilmore while the other - She's a Hovercraft had a couple of 2yo starts before resuming as a 3yo with a 2nd a fortnight ago

Brendan has done some Wagga tips for tomorrow night so look in the Selections forum (I would have moved them but I guess we should use the said named forum)

Very interesting stallion. One to watch for the future - his granddam is the dam of Fremantle Cup winner, Caviar Star (amongst other brilliant horses)

Speaking of interesting stallions, will Poster Boy be standing at stud any time soon? Keen to see how Yankee Rockstar performs but I much prefer SBSW to RNR Hanover.

He never got much of a chance Katie, those 2 services in 15/16 are the sum total of his stud career (to date)

Poster Boy is supposed to be resuming racing soon Katie, Anne told us all that he had been trialing

Poster Boy trialled very well at Ballarat this week and has been nominated for Saturday at Melton: fields out later today.( Just read the noms, only 4 horses doesn’t look like the race will stand up !) Victoria have a major problem with a lack of depth at the top end of the NR scale . The Len Smith Mile was his target, Covid19 has seriously reduced his racing opportunities. I love racing him but there have been stud enquiries and we must consider all options. There will be a reduction in the number of shuttle stallions : travel cost versus number of mares available makes shuttling a stallion very expensive unless his numbers are in the higher bracket. It’s still unknown if it will happen this year. Could be the year for a new stallion. Good reports on the Yankee Rockstar weanlings, good types and great natures.

Thanks for the insight Anne

Have seen a number of his foals and can back up that they were indeed cracking types.

Could be a boon for colonial stallions......
