Hey Ben
Have a look at lot 107 New Zealand Premier Sale the double up of ITP looks to close for me.
The Australian and NZ yearling sales are only a few months away ...
Do you expect there will be any surprise packets among the stallions - or will Bettors Delight, Art Major, Christian Cullen still dominate?
Are there any lots in particular you'd expect to star?
Hey Ben
Have a look at lot 107 New Zealand Premier Sale the double up of ITP looks to close for me.
There are a few interesting ones there ...
I also noticed a close-up cross to Abercrombie in there somewhere ... perhaps an Abercrombie mare put to Art Major or something like that ...
As far as stallions go, I'd think the Bettors Delights will be white-hot and you'll probably get some Christian Cullens cheaper than previous years simply because of the volume.
I'm hoping the Jeremes Jet yearlings are as well received as they were at the North American sales ...
Interesting Down Under with how you percieve the Sires from up here. I cannot breed to Bettors' Delight here as he has not left a great colt yet. Sure he is a decent Sire but too many small ones for me. He is a filly Sire for sure but with the numbers he has here in New York he has not been able to leave a special Colt yet. Is it the same down there?
Hey Ben
If lot 52 in the Australasian Classic sale is a good type i think he could be the sale topper up north.
Bettors Delight has had a number of very nice colts in Aust/NZ - Bettors Srike, Highview Tommy.
He has probably had more fillies, but I would be happy to get a colt by him
Bettor Sweet and Kenneth J were very good colts in the US
The other thread talked of 600 services in a single season for Bettors Delight, I would be very dissapointed if a sire with anywhere near that number
of mares bred in a single season did not stand out from the others. Ah as long as the live foal percentage was good so the future for BD looks good in
the southern hemisphere.
Advice for the yearling sales buy a trotter?
Justdoit
Would love to race a trotter but here in n.s.w there are limited races for them it would be 98% pacers to 2% trotting races so that makes it hard. There is filly from a strong family in the Australasian classic yearling sale lot 44 Quite Easy-Chiola's Lass. Chiola's Lass was a good race mare and has done an excellent job at stud, Quite Easy on the other hand i don't know a lot about only what i'm reading in the stallion guide.
Melbourne Premium Gold Sale, the Cullens and the Grins will be disappointing. The Fake Left every year I think it is the last one but another pops up, shame the mare was not of better breeding.
The Armbro Operative fillies will sell well when you compare the sale price to the service fee and as always the well breed and outstanding individuals will win on the day.
A couple that got into the sale the should not have.
Mango go with the 98%..............................................o r back the roughy
