Not putting this in Breeding yet TC as the main board seems to be dying so I am not going to hide a thread relevant to today (some members do not visit Breeding forum even on a weekly basis)
As I posted elsewhere there would seem to be enough 'Maori family' blood to tempt even a non-trotter like myself but although the bottom line of the peds seem strong, it would seem that the top line is what has seen them "on the market". Skyvalley appears quite a bit - I am guessing he has not done enough to make his progeny 'must keeps'
So if I was going to stick my neck out I would consider (Be warned: amateur's opinions follow)
Lot 3 Christmas Cullen - in foal to Somebeachsomewhere (future pedigree looks nice enough) and she has produced fair horse in Christmas Jolt, the 2nd dam looks weak in pedigree but bred to Christian Cullen has produced this producing mare
Lot 12 Far Apart - she has time to prove herself a producer, 2nd and 3rd dams much better than average
Lot 17 Soho Joplin - she is a young mare, Power Bunny may not do much for the pedigree but that did not stop the 2nd dam producing Manifold Bay (a favourite without whom I would not be selecting this lot) The 3rd dam's work is going to appeal to a lot of West Aussie's
Lot 20 Luda Can Dance - another young mare with a great pedigree. I'm not sold on being in foal to Million Dollar Cam (although Pedigree Parnter rates the match)
? Lot 26 Nothin Bettor probably worth a couple more goes following the argument of Lot 12 her half sis but she is 3yrs older (had more chances) and is not in foal. I could say buy them both and hope for 1/2 or you could be excused for now thinking give them both a miss
Lot 37 With Guile - not that old, has produced one, good family, in foal to Somebeachsomewhere
As far as the trotters go, I wouldn't knock back a free share in lots 21,31,56
Anybody else got a fancy? Or have anything good for breakfast today
