We have bred for a number of years and the thing that really irks me is that if you haven't received a fair price at the Gold sale you have to buy your own horse back . It is mystically owned by the board and you have to buy it back . The poor old breeder has the bidders trying to screw him or her over and then if you can't acheive a suitable bid the board screw you over . Breeder looses every time . Bathurst is the only sale where you can set a reserve . The Gold has a race worth $300,000 for girls and boys but the breeder usually doesn't see a cent because his horse has been sold for pittance . Breeders are a dying race
