R3) Somethingaboutmary and R5) Master Robson will do me for the day.

the positive thing about Galah is that his half sister is a smart horse going around now by exceed and excel. it shows the mother rinky dink is consistant. i dont pay much attention to redoutes choice...the dam line though is the winner for me.

Keepers Court for me!

To be frank... I always thought that this BC3 concept was either one big tax dodge or it was going to be a shambles if they were aiming for a profit...I was thinking it was a tax dodge because I don't know how they stayed afloat for this long! When …

Lot 19 is purely based on looks. This horse is built like a 3 year old already... I've seen the foal at foot the mother has and it looks a treat which suggests Mabel Grace wasn't just a freak. This mare has produced consistency and I am going to hav…

@Into It - Glass Harmonium would have been great for WA. he was gutsy...a bit of a firecracker nonetheless but his dam line is very good. He had his imported half brother running around over east last year called Fruehling with an impressive race r…

I am not the biggest fan of Flying Pegasus @RIO but i do like the dam line on Lot 409... In saying this, the damline is what I call a "sleepy family" - Nothing has really done a great deal for a while BUT... as you know horses take time and what not…

what is the availability of Kenmare line stallions of recent @Damien Wyer ? I'd imagine it would be pretty rare around the world but all Kenmare line stallions have never failed in WA... tribu, metal storm, verglas, kendel star.. just to name a few.…

there are a handful of vendors and studs who I will not buy stock off of as I know how they prepare and handle yearlings... from what I have noted over the years, Gervase Stud and Woodbridge Thoroughbreds who are both boutique operations, always h…

With Grant Williams experience with horses... for the wellbeing of the animal, you would think you just wouldnt send it around if the trial was that horrible and its track work must reflect that...In the same race, Your Buy's trial was ordinary at b…

so Ben Pattinson is on the outer by the looks? Willie and Benny getting the mounts...Shame about Crystal Gardens.... yes I was on but it could have been a 4fa for the young fella!

The federal government has been milking WA dry during these tough times so there is very little choice. In saying this, if it were a Labour Government in WA, the beans would be spilt! However, State Liberal Party has to cover the Federal Party!

Well, I have never met @Damien Wyer - but he has had alot of success from his purchases in such short time for clients. I've seen the story of Petrol Power contrast in so many different ways but at the end of the day, Damien procured the buyer which…

The dark reality of it all is that if you are aged between 20-30 and you earn $100k a year and have a mortgage on a modest house valued at $400k, you would be just getting by. throw into that equation a missus and a child and you are on the bones of…

you can sometimes find some diamonds in the rough when it comes to breeding pages. for instance I saw a yearling on type back in 2008 which was a 10/10. I looked at the page in the catalogue it was the border line of average/rubbish. I then researc…

My old man sired me at the age of 50 - so there is still hope for us all!!!

I have mate who is a bouncer at some of Perths biggest clubs. One of the clubs he works at will not let anyone in who has a tattoo - it must be covered up. secondly, if you aren't wearing fashionable clothes or they dont like what you are wearing, o…

@Damien Wyer - Steve is a fantastic horseman and he has put alot of time into handling Mabel Grace's full brother. Whoever the lucky purchaser is, they will have a horse which is easy to handle. furthermore I still believe Kendel Star upgrades mares…

Like yourself, I am a member and I have witnessed majority of the bad language/behaviour from young ladies dressed in skirts/dresses up around their necks which drink more grog than blokes and have just as many tattoos! I saw one sheila at railway s…
-
Well I reckon between $80k to $100k @Damien Wyer .... If it were a More than Ready or a Fastnet Rock it would sell for ALOT more... just shows how breeding is like fashion in a way.
-
if anyone wants to see an absolute cracking yearling... check out Mabel Grace's full brother at the sales. I was out at Rivercrest Stud a few weeks ago and it is an amazing looking animal with a superb temprement. Wish I had the $$$ to buy it!
-
Just saw the replay @therealkramer ... D.Staeck was taking his time! I think @carey has a statistic that D.Staeck is the most profitable jockey in Perth to punt on and Pike is one of the worst @paraletic
-
I was on Son of Something purely because it gave Pike the licence to roll the dice from Barrier 16 by searching/hoping for a run in the straight. However he has cost me so many times by trying to find the shortest way home on the best horse in the r…

I know a trainer who has 20 in work at all times, employes 3 staff and charges $70 a day. He has 3 decent city horses and he is netting a very good wage for himself. Lucky for him majority of his clients are good payers. The big blokes like Harrison…

My old man is 75 now and he has been a trainer for many years but unfortunately the old boys still use the "old school" methods which have worked a treat for them for decades, however the face of racing is forever evolving and like any sport, new su…
-
Agreed Spudley. He is a sensational looking horse!
-
I like Passenger alot! I agree Magoo, they need time and patience but the end result is what counts :)
-
Americain will produce good runners - he is tough, sound and had good confirmation. I reckon he will throw these traits to his progeny. This is unconfirmed but I heard from a source that he never had ulcer trouble (which is rare for a thoroughbred) …
-
This decision will effect Kerryn McEvoy as well....the new trainer will obviously use the riders closest to them...

sons of AP Indy come at a premium and the yanks tend to hold onto them.... I like the bloodlines of Congrats!
