Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Today at Menangle we saw the inaugural running of the heats of the Nutrien sale race series. All of the now 2YO’s that competed in the heats were sold at the very first Nutrien standardbred yearling sale ever held in this country, which was in Melbourne last year. The juveniles sold at that sale are […]
See this beautiful looking 2yo yearling filly? She’s by Bettors Delight out of Laurella, who is out of Christian Cullen, the golden cross. Black Pearl is her name. Cran Dalgety paid $120 000 on behalf of his clients for her at last year’s Auckland sale. It was money very well spent. The filly debuted in […]
Playing pool with Snoop Doggy Dog in the Kuranda Pub, and acing the ball straight in the hole A $2 million dollar sale the Chairman swore to the Federal Court the APG Mixed Sale was. Rubbish I said, it won’t gross even half a million. Who was right do you reckon? Who was the better […]
Who is that Group 1 runner up? You’d never know by looking at the catalogue. My Ultimate Jacko is a two-year-old by Art Major out of Colada Belle, which is the maternal family of the great champion Blacks A Fake, winner of an unprecedented four Inter Dominions, among a host of other great races. The […]

For some reason I can’t explain, the sales results from the weekend before last’s APG Mixed Sale have vanished into thin air, and can’t be found despite me having searched high and low. Can you find them anywhere? It’s got me buggered. Luckily I did a rough count of the results and the gross before […]
Another daughter of Albatross! If you buy Hayley Franco just make sure that you save enough in the budget to pay for a party. She turns 21 on New Year’s Eve. Summerline threw 2 winners six and seven years ago. One of them won 1 from 38. She’s only 20 next year so you’ve got […]
Here is one for the ladies. Electric Cat. The sixth linear descendant of Dillon Hall x Aegean in a row never to race. The Chinese say that seven is a lucky number, so put her to the cream coloured buckskin stallion Arctic Cat (2 starts, no wins or placings) and you will get a double […]
Look at this one. A 13-year-old grand-daughter of Albatross! I didn’t know they still existed. This APG online sale is like a stroll down memory lane. Here is an 18YO half-sister to Bold Nello, who won 5 races at Harold Park. Remember the saucer? Nah, you probably weren’t born. Bold Nello won four at the […]
Is this a joke? I saw the filly All Eyes On Me win the Gold Coast Oaks at Parklands in the year that Brew won the Melbourne Cup, the same year as the Sydney Olympics. Peter Greig drove her I think, the same as he did when she ran 3rd to Tupelo Rose in the […]
