Of mine, Gangbusters a winner in town already, Runs to Paradise placed in a trial Scalabrino a trial winner, runs today Snipfit untrialled Ivory Jewel untrialled 6 months time will tell a better story

I went through everyone's selections. Do you want to see a list ? I haven't checked the others but the Moshe we both selected & you bought I see runs tomorrow. Best of luck, he looks fast! I went through everyone's selections. Do you want to se…

Absolutely agree with you Damien regarding the archaic facilities. There is absolutely no consistency with parading areas or surfaces to parade on for that matter. This is unfair to both consignors & potential buyers. There will always be those…

The problem is the lack of outside buyers. Inglis are giving MM an absolute hiding in terms of attracting an international & interstate buying bench. I've spoken to several Victorian trainers & agents that don't even consider going to Perth …
-
MM's press release about the sale being a "fantastic result" is laughable and just adds further insult to hard working and loyal supporters of the sale who have once again taken a bath. W.A. sellers need to wake up & realise they are not being …

Sale topping yearling will be sold today by all accounts. Ron Sayers has a Street Cry that whilst not the best specimen, will however make more than $135,000 you would think. Rio I think the sale is tailor made for a buyer. They don't get much che…

The median is down 25% on last year's sale, bucking the trend of other sales in Aust this year, in fact it's about a 50+% swing against the tide. Magic Millions are clearly not doing enough to resurrect this sale and seem content to let it go from …

Sydney Classic well up on last year, continuing the upward trend also seen at MM Gold Coast & Karaka. Surely vendors can go into MM Perth with at least some optimism. Hopefully Magic a Millions have done a little more to attract some eastern sta…

I'd say a couple of Hunter Valley studs nearly covered more mares than that whole list combined
-
Unfortunately W.A.'s sale is very much removed from the eastern seaboard. Doesn't necessarilly follow the a rise in prices as seen last year. Was the 2015 sale rock bottom or will it be another painful couple of days for W.A. Breeders?
-
not the way I understand it. If it was that way every lot that did not meet reserve would be listed as passed in at one bid under reserve. This is not the case. My take on it is that vendors throw dummy bids and stop at one bid under the reserve. …

Mungrup Stud have produced winners for years. Write them off at your peril. Dick Turpin is a lovely stallion, far better credentialed than several others. Whilst I prefer colonial stallions, especially on the tougher WA tracks, every now and again a…

Problem is he & Richard Bell seem to do everything and then Geraldton Narrogin and I heard Richie even at Broome today, on top of there City and provincial duties . You don't see Greg Miles or the likes off doing outer Country meetings. I am sur…

Would think Snippetson easily slots in to the top 9 as well.Currently 3rd on the General Sires list (of WA sires) after Blackfriars and Oratorio. I deliberately left out anything new to the State, Australia or simply first season sires. They are al…

What a fantastic weekend for him a Epsom Oaks winner Qualify and his son Hinchinbrook getting his first G1 winner at Doomben with Press Statement , he is on his way to be the best ever stallion produced in this country. still a fair way behind Redo…

Blackwood (Blackfriars out of Karriwood) someone told me that the dam was pretty useless, on paper it was an eight start maiden that never earned a cheque. But as far as I can tell. this filly was never offered for sale. Anyone know if it has issu…

Universal Ruler is fourth for winning strike-rates among active stallions standing in Australia. Zaha (55%) leads from Bon Hoffa (54.92%), Conatus (54.90%) & Universal Ruler (52.4%) ...and 0 stakes winners. Until this stat improves he'll only e…

Nice horse who should suit W.A. mares and W.A. racing. Was actually trained by Peter Snowden, not John O'Shea. Went amiss in the lead up to the slipper after winning a trial in late Feb and missed the race but won the Kindergarden in nice fashion (w…
-
I see some of the country's leading buyers such as James Harron are at Adelaide MM this week. This begs the question, why were there so few trainers & agents from the east in Perth a few weeks ago for its sale? I think the blame needs to be part…
-
Safeguard will be a nice horse for W.A. breeders. He was rated as Darley's best 2yo of his year (ahead of another Exceed and Excel in Sidestep whom they now stand) but had a setback leading into the slipper. Won the Kindergaten Stks after the slippe…

Sworn To Silence was a slashing run. I'm not giving up on Preferment yet as her was totally run off his feet over 1400m. The first 5 in the Hobartville are all top shelf. Scissor Kick had no luck in the last 50 & Tye Angland had to stop riding h…

Good effort by Disposition yesterday. Inside was definitely not the place to be despite Williams insisting on putting his horses there most of the day. Improvement will be interesting, Wes Hunter thought he would win yesterday judging by his comment…
-
I think he can lay claim to being the best 3yo in the country upto 1400m. Beat Shooting to Win in a very good Golden Rose who then went on to win a good Caulfield Guineas. Beat him again yesterday along with Swaynesse. Given that Shooting to Win be…

I have given Damien a spray once or twice for his opinions on footy (as he doesnt have a clue) but I for one want to hear about people who are actually in the industry and their experiences, sure he likes to talk his business up on here but I dont s…

JayJay while you're on Racey Prince, I'd love to know more about one of mine & I think you mentioned one of your favourites in Prince of Princes. I also admired a horse called Hey Maybe. A beautiful chestnut with blustering gate speed. Any insi…

It will be interesting to see how many mares he gets this year & how much they move on the advertised fee. It should mean better mares for him and in turn more high quality gallopers. His ability to sire natural running types is obvious but part…

The more I think about I think it may have been Special Garry. I may have missed it but did Sinn Fein get a mention yet?

I think you'll find this was just some shoddy journalism. The positive was for regumate, a hormone (progesterone) usually used for mares to prevent oestrus and to help retain pregnancies with bad producers but can be used to lessen colty behaviour …

If you're into sectionals and standard times you'll see she was basically eased down from the 800! Hayes said she has given Fast 'N' Rocking a start and blown him away at home & he's no slouch. Interestingly sis tonic has only been with Hayes fo…
