The new roster is up on twitter and probably their web site. Not too many changes.

Don't die wondering !
Betterthancheddar to stand for them in VIC this time around. Great result.
A Rocknroll Dance available out of NZ in conjunction with Nevele R. Another great result.
Jack, I think you are being unfair in your criticism of the Alabar stallions. Of the 10 imported pacing stallions, 7 of them won over $1 million as 3YO's. The other 3 are Artiscape $974k (3YO of the Year), Betterthancheddar $800k and Big Jim $710k.
While they range in quality, I don't think any of their pacing stallions can be criticized as not being a genuine class juvenile performer.
Competition between stallions is so intense and people have too much information at their fingertips these days for studs to import a 2nd rate stallion and hope to be able to do well by way of clever marketing.
Did you get much rain up there in Kurrajong...'Jack' ?
A Rocknroll Dance looks like a real good prospect and a pretty good move by Alabar to stand Betterthancheddar in Australia away from his father.

Can anyone tell me why major in art is not there! What are people's thoughts on him so far?
Without any knowledge of the foals but just going on his figures so far Nathan, it would seem like he needs a break out foal.
With 3yo Qlder Major Sam his biggest earner with $85k, Major In Art would like to get a big earner in the last month of this season
Very healthy books of 110, 96, 130, 99 show he has had good support but his 2nd crop (this yrs 2yo's) only has WA's Artillery Major with $26k showing the way thanks to a Gp.1 2nd.
He is a young sire with over 400 foals on the ground and those foals are either going to make him or break him for people are impatient in this very competitive market
per un PUGNO di DOLLARI
That's a real surprise Nathan, It looked like he was showing some promise. I would like to hear the NZ guys thoughts on how they were going over there.
