    Artistic Fella on a bit of a roll right now. Pretty solid sort of a debut given the quality & number of mares he got for his initial AUS crop.

    I have an Artistic Fella 2yr old gelding that has amazing amounts of stamina. He's a solid bugger and I think he might go okay when the penny drops. Lot to like about Artistic Fella, he's a magnificent specimen in the flesh. Dropped into Empire a while back and he's very light on his feet for a big boy.

    Gotta Go Cullect

    Pretty good value at around $2000
    I have 2 fillies, a yearling and a baby from 2 different mares and they have plenty of room between their front legs and have lovely rounded rear ends.

    GOTTA GO COLLECT--- First crop of 2yr olds in Nz this year. 125 2yr olds for 1 winner to date. Not a great beginning. Too early to write off but needs some serious runners and quick

    Go easy Viv. He's only had 6 to the races for nine starts. I think trainers have learnt the CUF lesson that just because a horse was precocious himself does make his progeny so. If fact I think but not absolutely certain till I do some further research, the 2yo racing crop is not that big so far this year. Bit of the "same old same old" going each week. What they look like of course is the domain of the breeder. How they go is the domain of the trainer.

    At this stage of the season Tony they have been very disappointing. With 125 on the ground he has been given every opportunity to make an impression but has failed to do so. Way too early to write him off but he needs a lot more runners and a few more winners in a hurry. With CC and CUF being so successful at stud, breeders have been more prepared to give Nz bred stallions a chance at stud. What people tend to forget is just how dominant these two stallions were on the racetrack. They were champions. A lot of the Nz bred stallions being given an opportunity now are not of that level. Really good racehorses with pedigrees and looks to match but I have doubts they are of the level required to make it in todays market. It just keeps getting tougher to make it as a sire. We have access today to the best stallions in the world and that makes it extremely hard for Nz bred horses to compete. They have to be really exceptional on the track to have a chance at stud in my view. Several more Nz bred stallions are on track to stand at stud next season but the only one I think who has the racetrack record to give him a shot at making it is Auckland Reactor. He is one of only two nz bred stallions going to stud since CC and CUF that is in their class as a racehorse, the other being Changeover. That is the level you need to be at to be a chance at stud today. Can stallions like Gotta Go Collect make it in todays market. I'm not convinced they can.
