    Thanks Brendan - the link above quotes Bernie Kelly as saying all the quotes that Paul Courts got from Frith's trainer, Bruce Harpley were bulldust

    I wonder whether the foal was insured and whether that could be relevant

    I hope this does not cost Bruce Harpley

    Talk about not letting the facts get in the way of a good story.

    Does this sound ridiculous or what?
    Not ridiculous not being able to find a foal. We lost one in 1983 in a 100 acre paddock feed up to their guts' i rode all over the paddock on a saddle horse and couldn't find hide nor hair of it and neither could the 3 cattle dog's i had with me. Most probably born dead and the foxes got it.

    But Greg, would that have been the foal of the best mare in Australia?
    Surprised the dogs did not find at least a clue - mine would find a crumb in that paddock

    Embryo transplants are just wrong!

    Recently on Harnesslink.com there was a story about the great Australian Breeders Crown and Group 1 winner, Frith, and that her foal, via a surrogate mother, was missing from the breeding farm after being foaled.
    While it is sad that anyone would consider stealing a new born foal, it does not skirt the issue of embryo transplants, which has been allowed in Australian and New Zealand horse racing for a number of years now.
    Embryo transplants in race horses, just like cloning or any other unnatural forms of reproduction in horse racing, is just plain wrong.
    If it is being done to create a better cow that gives more milk, or improving a breed of livestock to enhance food production, then that is fine. But to allow a horse to continue racing and trying to get “foals” from her so you don’t have to lose any income from her racing is unfair to everyone else in the industry. Either you are a broodmare or a race horse, not both at the same time.
    If a mare cannot have a foal naturally, then that is Mother Nature’s way of say the breed will not continue through her. Allowing embryo transplants of any form in race horse mares should no longer be allowed. It may be a hard fight to end it but worth the effort.
    Horse racing has enough issues with “better racing through chemistry” and this act falls right within those guides. The same should be said for artificial insemination and frozen semen, but those are topics of controversy for another day.
