Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
A racing fan named P. Ferrari wrote some scripts to see how buyers have performed from past Magic Millions sales. What you see above is the purchases for greater than $200k, arranged by the number of yearlings bought. Sale year 2020 was the cut off, they are now 5y/o’s and have had a decent crack […]

Magic Millions website https://www.magicmillions.com.au/calendar/2024-tasmanian-yearling-sale/ I am not quite sure about this boast about the Tasmanian Yearling Sale made by the spruikers who are selling the horses. Of the top 20 sires in the country, this auction boasts no yearlings by I Am Invincible, So You Think, Snitzel, Written Tycoon, Shamus Award, Sebring, Zoustar, Tavistock, Toronado, […]
I’m sure that the syndicate of bloodstock folk who paid $300 000 f0r the Written Tycoon yearling half brother to black type winner Assimilate at the Magic Millions sale 2 years must have had high hopes for their expensive new colt. No doubt that’s why they sent him to Mick Price to prepare. They would […]
The catalogue for the NZ Standardbred yearling sales in January is out, and if you are a Group 1 buyer then you can strike out more than half of it before you start. American Ideal – no dude. Bettor’s Wish – as much as you like, but no way. Captain Crunch – he thrown them […]
I remember being at the APG Menangle yearling sale in 2029 back when they’d still have me watching Grant Dixon and Kevin Seymour buy just two lots, both of them cheap, one of them the last lot of the day. The first lot was Tims A Trooper, who Mr Seymour AM bought for just $17 […]
$320 000 – Erupt Stride 9 starts for 5 wins and 3 placings, all at the provincial tracks in Victoria. Never raced in town, and not seen since October last year. Total earnings $48 866, a miserable return on his purchase price. $310 000 – Chicago Bear 6 trails for no wins. Never seen on […]
The APG is back! And still absolutely slack. The mob who unsuccessfully attempted to sue me a year ago for telling the truth are having one last crack. It reminds me of the last gasp of a drowning man. They’ve launched it with a new e-magazine that looks like it’s been designed by a kid. […]
There is a huge holler and hoopla about yesterday’s Nutrien announcement of a $1.25 million race night at Melton on the 13th of April next year, but what does it all actually mean? What are the prize purses for each race? Nutrien had already promised national series races worth a minimum of $975 000. Is the […]
With almost 2/3rds of the New Zealand racing season gone, the Stonewall Stud stable owned by Steve Stockman and managed by Steve and Amanda Telfer is sitting 6th on the Premiership Ladder with just 28 wins, and has earned only $430 000. The stable has 100 horses in work, which must cost a conservative million […]
