    Frith's foal cannot be found!

    Could have been born dead and taken by wild dogs.

    I was under the impression that mares had to be finished racing for surrogate foaling. This way a mare can have any number of foals.

    The idea of Embryo Transfer is so that the donor mare (Frith) can continue racing whilst the embryo and foal are raised by the non racing recipient mare. only one foal per donor mare per season can be registered.

    Is that the way it has always been? For some reason I thought when it first came in, in Australia it was designed for mares who had finished racing but were unable to carry a foal to full term.

    Maybe mother nature is still in charge some of the time.

    Yes you are right in what you say. That is the other reason to ET.
    Man can use the science of ET but yes I'm sure Mother Nature does still rule the roost.

    You are right Toni. When it first became approved in Australia it was for mares that could not carry a foal for whatever reason.
    The rules have since been relaxed.

    Thought that was how it started. Was your mare Sabilize one of the first mares in Australia to take advantage of this Trevor?

    I'll retract my comments as there's conflicting story's floating around and Bernie or Bruce really need to come clean on which of the scenario's is correct.

    Yes, I think she may have been the first. All of her foals bar the first one were by ET.

    A couple of weeks back a usually reliable industry source tweeted that the mare slipped. Stranger and stranger
