    After another impressive win by Vacation Hill tonight I thought I would look up her dam to see if she has produced anything else of note and I see several years of No Return between Vacation Hill in 2016 and an Unregistered (as yet) colt in 2021

    Is there a reason a breeder would not supply a return for the stud book or have I got this completely wrong

    I thought no return meant they tried to get the mare in foal and it didn't

    We need to find out Katie. I used to think that too but then thought that would have to be 'Missed'

    John French, Registrations Officer HRNZ, very kindly promptly replied to my email and it is as I thought - NO RETURN means they haven’t been notified of the result of a service.

    It would seem to me that examples such as that in post 21 could not happen in the Australian Thoroughbred Stud Book due to the following rule:

    4.15 The Australian Stud Book cannot accept a Mare Return for a broodmare which has a missing return for the previous season and which has not been out of Australia during that period.

    Shartin N has filly by Captaintreacherous
    What can be assumed to be the best-bred pacing filly in the world was foaled on Sunday (Feb. 13) when world champion and Harness Horse of the Year Shartin N gave birth to a filly sired by world champion and Pacer of the Year Captaintreacherous.

    http://ustrottingnews.com/shartin-n-...intreacherous/

    Exciting but Best Bred?
    If you take out Shartin ($2.5m) I am not sure Tintin In America has sired another winner of $200k (not one on ClassicFamilies at least)

    Derby winner Leap To Fame sure does look the goods. He may be the one that convinces me that Bettors x Art Major mare is a good cross. I know it has produced Tall Dark Stranger and Max Delight but a couple more would be good. Art Major x Bettors mare could also do with a few more as at present Our Princess Tiffany is the only real standout

    This article on Sepia Sands does not tally with the attached ClassicFamilies snip

    I noticed that after serving on average 150 mares for each of his first 3 seasons Captaintreacherous's book has halved for the last 3 seasons - ??? - Price or people steering clear of the hit or miss nature of Frozen semen
