Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
36 yearlings went through the sales ring at the APG auction at the Gold Coast yesterday. Only 19 of them were sold. None of the 17 others reached their reserve prices, which in most cases were set at dollars they couldn’t possibly achieve. But each of these 17 are deemed to be sold, and are […]
If I were to tell you that the horse in the picture was a just turned yearling, would you believe me? I wouldn’t if you told me the same thing. This thing looks like a 3YO preparing for a Derby. It’s not though, it’s a yearling. Probably the most magnificent yearling ever presented at an […]

God almighty. Wouldn’t you love to buy a piece of this filly that’s for sale at the Tasmanian standardbred yearling sales in March? Her dam never raced. Neither did her grand-dam, great grand-dam, great great grand-dam, or great great grand-dam. Five generations of mares and not a single one ever started in a race. The […]
LOT 7 – Colt For a Reason x Maywyn No Regrets. By a cheap crap sire out of a no good Sportswriter mare from a terrible family. The only good horse in the line is La Coocaracha, a trotter. That might be useful it wasn’t a pacer. If they gave it to you for free […]
The APG sale at the Gold Coast is only thirty days away, with eight of them being useless, so let’s call it three weeks. There is no catalogue. There are no photo and videos on the sale website either. Potential buyers on both sides of the Tasman – most of whom use the Xmas break […]
LOT ONE – COLT A colt by the highly unfashionable, former brilliant but almost certainly doped Rocknroll Hanover son The Storm Inside, who stands for $2500, a price set for desperates and dreamers. No-one pays it anyway. Who would? This colt is put of a 21 year old mare whose very best product in15 years […]
Complacent was a good racehorse, but he has never been wanted much at stud. He stands for a service fee of just $4 000. Well bred Group 1 winning stallions don’t come much cheaper than that. His yearling sale averages are pretty low too. $105 000 is the most one has sold for, and that […]
The All Stars Stable of Natalie Rasmussen, Mark Purdon and later Hayden Cullen were the leading trainers of pacers by prizemoney in New Zealand last year, as they have been for the past few years. They trained 97 winners and 116 placed horses across all ages, classes and grades, for total earnings of $3.6 million. […]
Vendors at the APG Mixed Sale that concluded a month ago were promised payment within 14 days. Then the payment time was extended to 28 days. That was 30 days ago. The vendors still haven’t been paid. Many vendors have contacted the APG chasing their money. They shouldn’t have to, but when you have bills […]
