I finally got around to watching the interview done with Dale Monteith at the APG sale and it is worth watching/listening to

https://vimeo.com/202591740

He is about everybody embracing change and mentions Ratings based racing. I liked how he answered a question about looking after breeders by highlighting how poorly owners have been treated in the past. Overall DM raised my hopes somewhat

I let the video clips keep rolling and enjoyed them all especially these two

An interview with David James of Empire Stallions with interesting info on Albatross, Blissful Hall, Western Terror, Rocknroll Hanover and Life Sign and a suggestion that we need a Vic Sires Stakes series.

The other interesting lengthy interview was with Woodlands Andrew Grierson. Those interested in Bettors and American Ideal will enjoy this one

I think all the interviews are by Harnessbred's Dean Baring (my hearing does not always pick my own bro-in-law calling races but I am pretty sure it is DB - the interviews are wonderfully clear and I did not even wish for captions)

I have now watched hours of these clips
Here is the APG sales promo vid for 2017

I obviously do not surf the net enough but I have to wonder where/how would people have seen this other than by going to APG's website

Watched the one with David James. Well spoken man and interesting topics. Wish we had better access to these kinds of intelligent conversations.

Pondering whether Mach Three had any frozen semen put away

No. His declined fertility was such in recent seasons against his demand meant that none was kept.
He was close to retirement with the upcoming season in Canada to be his last there before returning to NZ for one last season and retirement here.
Alas that was not to be.
