Fusaiachi Pegasus is going to Chille too. I thought the Aussies loved him? Ummmm....no, we didn't love him. However Coolmore kept telling us that we did. :roll: He is being replaced by his number one son Haradasun who spent half his racing career running sideways under pressure. It will be interest...

Hi Louis We had a G2 3yr old race on tonight at Moonee Valley which is a strathayr surface so it's quite giving under foot however there was a very bad breakdown in the race. The horse was a Fasliyev gelding by the name of Crown Ruler. For some reason I thought of this thread and when I looked at th...

Arazi is doing very well at Independent Stallions in Victoria. I saw him a year ago and he was happy to spend the Winter in his paddock with a rug. He is not a big horse but I thought he was a very well put together compact type. Plus he looked great in the coat and was very happy with himself. He a...

Sprucie

You are so brave to be able to convey the message of your husband's passing to so many people you may not know in person yet I believe you may know in spirit.

My sincere condolences.

According to my notes he has had 53 named foals race in Australia from his first crop (four have been named and sent overseas) for 19 starters, seven winners including...

Re: tt

TVN might be covering it, and SKY will reveiw it in 'Racing round the World' Is that the Oaks or is that the Papal visit? I am still unable to work out why Randwick Racecourse was even considered for a Popefest. There are reports of 400,00-500,00 people! How the hell are they going to fit into Rand...

I had a bit of a look at him after your comments as I have never seen him race nor did I know how to place him as a stallion. I have only found about three photos of hin on the net however he appears to be a very nice "lengthy" type. The female line is outstanding. I would like to see this horse in ...

Wallinga I finally rang the trainer and unfortunately Rue is no longer. She broke a bone in her foot and even though they tried to save her they had to put her down a couple of years ago. She was however going really well in her in work which is encouraging. Of course he got a winner! I knew he woul...

I bought the mare after Rue had been weaned. Looks like she was a foal share and Vinery bought out the previous owner. Unlike QT's colts, Rue was a bit on the small side. Neat but small so that's why they didn't run her through the sales. They did send her to be broken in and trained but I'm not sur...

It's my little Fairy King mare, Queen Titania. :D I actually don't mind the boys at Coolmore. They don't bother trying to butter me up as they know I am not going to spend more than $15k on ANY service fee at the moment. That will only change when one of the girls throws a Group winner. Then I will ...

I'm hardly surprised wallinga given that Coolmore drag him out for two seasons only. He was gone before his first yearlings went through the ring! :evil: No hype means they sell on their merits and some of them did do OK but they probably looked the part. I just had to send one of my mares to him. T...
