Re: General Discussion

Hi, again from Australia. I have just looked up some correspondence from Diane, whom I mentioned in my last post. Diane's full name was Diane Nyland, and she lived near Bundaberg, Queensland. I may also note that we also lost on the 22/May/2021 Bert Russell. He was a great, pedigree enthusiast, writ...

General Discussion

Hi, all from Australia. I have been away for six months so am just catching up with the Message Board. I noticed, one contributor has complained about the initials JRD. I find this somewhat disconcerting, as, I update regularly with WTS. These are my initials, so as to confirm that the information i...

Inbreeding in the extreme!

Hi, A friend of mine heard that you "breed to the best and hope for the best". Have a look on Pedigree Query at "Touchy Suchy". There is only 1. After extending it to 7 generations, I was amazed at the amount of inbreeding this pedigree contains. 3 different daughters of Best in ...

PEDIGREE QUERY AGAIN.

Yet again when trying to sort out errors on this site, have I been blocked from correcting information. 1) Why is this so ( I think Prof Sumner Miller once said that)? 2) I pay my $100 a year to get real and proper information, not to be stopped from correcting information which is not correct. 3) I...

How is this for a stuff up on pedigreequery.

Thank you Pan Zareta. All the more reason that they have a select few, preferably with the relative Stud Books, to be allowed to enter and make corrections. I have gone through and corrected all the horses that are either Australian or raced in Australia. This was done through the Australian Studboo...

Best Sprinter in the World.

I was there the day that SPECIAL set the record up the straight at Flemington, that day the wind was blowing straight down the straight, not across it like on Saturday. Luke Nolan eased her, but kept her mind on the job the last 50 metres. Her time of 55.42 seconds now is the record. If you take int...

Explaination of "Vanned OFF" please.

Noticed on Pedigreequery that a horse, was "Vanned off" after a race. Does this mean that he has broken down completely, and maybe saved or has died? Here in OZ, we say floated off or away; meaning that hey have taken the horse to a vet. If the horse has been humanely put down, we say destroyed. Use...

PEDIGREEPOST WEBSITE

Dear Madelyn,

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

I had the site as Pedigreepost.com, which I used to contact it with.

So, as I knew that they were trying to sell the site, it must have happened.

Once again thank you for your assistance.

Cheers from OZ.

Wayne.
