Impressive racing bought back most of their own horses including the one they paid $270k for $200k
Bloody nice horse for that price.
I remember somebody saying they were mad as they would struggle to get enough boxes at Ascot??
Can anybody help out?
Very good run he seems to be having...
What are everyones thoughts??
Now that results have started to come through including Black Nijinsky's win on Saturday, I think it is safe to say his star is on the rise.
I don't have any listings in Ascot and haven't deliberately for many months as I don't think the majority of vendors have come to terms with the market moving 20% backwards across the board, and definately in horse sales. With the knock on effect of stakes money on the decline, and operating expenses increasing, now is not the time for vendors to be seeking sales prices at a 2007 level. However if you price to meet the expectations of the market, then you will sell. My two sales in Ascot, this past financial year, taking 59 and 7 days respectively to go under successful offer.
Wallys old stables have been purchased by the Yuro team (I am led to believe), no doubt they will be upgraded to 1st class facilities.
Have you seen much demand for the Swan Valley rural properties?
You are smart in that aspect as there is no point in taking a listing if the vendors are unreasonable with their selling price. Doesn't look good for the selling agents statistics. Marketing and advertising expenses must be hurting the two sales reps from porter mathews and homestead realty with the properties they have listed in Ascot.
There was some reported buyer confidance at the sale on Sunday (my mate helped buying 6 lots) and in real estate I can say that there is also loads of interest if the property is in an appealing suburb. For instance, this month I sold a home in Glen Forrest in 12 days to the 2nd private viewing after 210 internet hits in the first 9 days. So it can happen.
But vendors have to realise that they will need to probably advertise their property atleast 5 to 10% under market value to give the purchaser every chance of getting finance as cash buyers will always offer below market value due to the fact of having a smooth transaction.
Simondo doing a terrific job at the moment, first trainer to take the MM double...
I hope he continues to perform and has some luck if with the ones he is looking to take interstate...
Smart to get footballers etc involved in his horses, creates more publicity for his team...
Smart operation all round.
Evryones thoughts?
i usually give up when i try searching for something.
as for the trainer, my unbiased stats have him as a star, so i would believe that is the case.
He has been very successful at it. A reminder to all - it's a business
Who do we think is the best in his yard....
Personally, I think Ron's Call has the potential despite his flop in the guineas
He is a good trainer, a thinker with the ability to analyse. In my opinion his career has not even started..he is still on his trainer wheels.
To top it off he is a bloody good bloke.
Good on Simon Miller, always up for a chat and all round nice guy.
Not afraid to tip his horses and declare them to clients either
The boys got the cash again today
Particularly O'Shea's reaction when he found out after the event.
