Lot 11 - Alfred Noble colt, nice type with lots of Encosta about him from the dam's side
Lot 24 - Blackfriars colt with Derby written all over him
Lot 51 - Choisir colt, looks like a real runner, Karrakatta type
Lot 54 - Another Alfred Nobel, great balance I quite like these A/Nobels
Lot 65 - War Chant colt, just oozes quality!
Lot 77 - Domesday colt, very much in the mould of his sire
Lot 87 - Sepoy filly, gorgeous filly & very much like the Sepoy's that were making big $$ at the Gold Coast.
Lot 93 - Snippetson colt, sooo much Snippets about him. Beautiful head, very short coupled, should run fast & early!
Lot 116 - Lope De Vega colt, very much like his sire, great strength. The stallion often throws a plain head
Lot 143 - Sebring colt, lots to like about this guy. Quality
Lot 150 - Moshe colt, stunning looking colt, his sire is as nice a stallion as I've seen & this guy looks very similar
Lot 151 - Blackfriars filly, wow!! If you want an Oaks filly look no further, love her!
Lot 156 - Oratorio filly, looks a lovely early running filly
Lot 159 - Benteau colt, reminds me a lot of the sire, lots of power there!
Lot 182 - Exceed & Excel filly, beautiful early running filly
Lot 193 - Blackfriars filly, again a perfect classic type by the sire
Lots there I know, but there really does seem to be lots of quality this year. Alfred Nobel interests me, the Dick Turpins are different types to what W.A. Is used to, will be interesting to see how they're received.
Would be interested to hear others thoughts on some of the above

Overall not a bad Promo for the sales though ;)
It was an enjoyable day out, only soured by some vandalism on our return to four cars belonging to folks off the bus.
I'm waiting to see the stock. I have bought off people who have done nothing for me when they had every opportunity to stand up and say something, but they chose to keep their mouth shut.
Smashing type in the pic though I tought
Not my type so I will be no competition @Pimlico - now watch her go on and win the Oaks! #-o

I had never been to Botsky previously, but the vendor concentrated more on the yearlings and promoting his stallion, even flew a guy in from NZ who stands the horse and is familiar with his stock. The lady who presented the draft, whilst you couldn't hear a lot of what she said, actually tried to highlight the positives with each yearling in temperament, performance in the selling preparation, and some positives regarding conformation. Because the stallion of almost all of their draft is based overseas, the yearlings we were told were typical of his stock that he has thrown that were sold at Karaka.
Most vendors either say nothing, or have Grant Burns try his best and tell us what is already in the book or how the stallion is performing. Very few to my knowledge address the yearling being shown in front of you and leave subjective decisions to be made by those looking on.
I just found it to be a nice change from what normally happens.
Anyone who votes for their favorite piece and leaves their business card or contact details with staff on the stand, or
anyone who votes online for their favorite piece when the exhibition
gallery is posted, goes into the draw for a 50cm x 75cm (20"x30")
canvas, valued at $195, delivered to them anywhere in Australia.
Sorry but this competition is open only to Australian residents. The
draw will take place at the complex once Lot 300 has gone through the
ring. Online voting will close Day 1 at midnight on Tuesday the 17th of
February.
We hope to see you at the sales, Good luck everyone.

Congratulations to the farms that had horses there especially Dawson Stud and Alwyn Park both professional outfits who know how to present a horse properly hope you both have good sales.
Anybody going to the complex just a hint take a dust mask and goggles as the sale company has got a crap load of shavings and it was blowing everywhere and if you buy a horse it may pay to get a lung wash done poor bastards.
I cannot wait until that complex is bulldozed as it is a DISGRACE it is way past its used by date, the poor sizing of boxes especially for Lot 20 she is a big girl and she is in a box built for a Shetland Pony.
Looks like Magic Millions have new attitude for WA the Wham Bam Thankyou Maam sales get the horses in sell them take their profit and get out of Perth asap.

Trade fair x crecy
Very impressed
Still got me stumped how it didn't make the first session
I have retained a Vet for just today to examine around 16 x-rays and then those that pass will be given a comprehensive health check up, and finally pre-scoped if the Vendors co-operate. That should then leave I hope around 10 for my final buying list across several clients.
For those going to the cocktail party this evening, I have a small exhibition of photo's there, but the main part of the exhibition of 22 pieces will be on display in the Owners Bar from Tuesday morning. Again I'm giving away a 50cm x 75cm canvas to one person who either visits or votes online for their favorite.
Please drop by if you out there on sale day.
is the fact that nearly 50% of the Dick Turpins born are in the sales a good sign or a bad sign.. ie - none of the breeders want to keep them for themselves or their regular clients?? Or the stud reckons they are going to get a great return from putting so many out there?
Granted the large majority are from Mungrup or agents on behalf of Mungrup Clients.. Just seems to be a high percentage in the one sale.
