Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Hi Archie, Just a “cold spoon” applicator for Lazarus. Attached (pictured at the top) is a list of all the stallions whose progeny are eligible to race in the NJSS in 2022. Virtually no opposition is there? So in the eight $30,000 NJSS divisions (4 colts, 4 fillies) thus far Lazarus has sired every starter […]
Archie I hate to tell you this, but your average earnings per runner strategy re sires is flawed. Not every US state has the same prizemoney in bread and butter races or sires/state based incentive programs. The average is dependent on the state the stallions stood in, and if the mares they served have dual […]
…. mushroom or pepper sauce is what you put on a steak, which is preferably cooked medium rare. Your new trotting stallion’s name is On A Streak. Which judging by your promo material you are clearly not. Never mind. It’s all just a dead cow to us. And no-one down here has really ever heard […]
Well, a little bird told me, a little bird told me A little bird told me, a little bird told me A little bird told me, a little bird told me A little bird told me, a little bird told me Hannah Bird is a very popular racing figure. Her hubby Mat is a real […]
The great question coming into Sunday’s season starting APG Brisbane standardbred yearling sale was how much all the wads of cash that company and it’s shareholders threw at the sale in an attempt to beat off the challenge from the newcomer to the trot auction scene Nutrien would stimulate the prices of the youngsters being […]
It’s proponents call it a Stallion Fee, it opponents call it a levy. Same horse, different jockey. Here are the weights. The base charge (or fee) to register a horse with the stud book is $500. Every owner of a sire pays it. Then the Stallion Fee kicks in. Australian domiciled stallions are exempt. All […]
With less than three months left of the season, and all of the rich 2YO races gone except the few up here, there is only one first year sire with progeny topping the million dollar mark (Russian Revolution), and just one other (The Mission) who looks a bolters chance of joining him. At this stage […]
The NSW breeding industry is the big winner from the announcement, with breeders given the incentive of $2250 for every live foal bred from a NSW-based mare and an Australian or New Zealand stallion based in the state. The breakdown of payments starts with $250 for a 42-day positive test for mares located in NSW, […]
Group 1 winner Jonker has been retired to stand at Queensland’s Aquis Farm this spring, it was announced on Monday. A Stakes-winning two-year-old who trained on to win the G1 Manikato Stakes (1200m) and $1 million Magic Millions Sprint (1200m) as an older horse for Tony Gollan, connections made the call to retire the six-year-old […]
I am not sure that Harness Racing Australia’s projections are correct in regard to raising the money to fund the Eureka. HRA are saying that the new differential fee/charge/levy or whatever you want to call it on shuttle and semen sires being implemented as of 1 September this year will raise between $900 000 and […]
