    • nearly accurate. I think for a long time the features have Mainly gone to the Mega-rich for decades. Even Roy and Barry's owners were the 'elite' back in the day.   All of Allstars owners Megarich for their whole decade of success (like Lazarus owners Kennards and that)  , a few Aussies amongst them like Mre Feiss from Victoria with a few good horses like Self Assured , etc and the Butterworths. Merv Butterworth even so blessed he had Copy That as well  with Ray Green . The Canadian TANev bloke (with all the Aaardie horses ) has a few Big wins around the place. Stonewall and Breckon obviously , and now Shannon , Boots and Seymour and Mick Harvey who has Kingman are sending horses to NZ and winning the Big ones.   Interestingly Mick Boots , who won his 2nd Hunter Cup the other night to go with the 2 NZ Cups of Swayzee , is really invested now , and the amazing Brittany Graham interviewing him was mentioning how he is gone right into it now like Seymour , and breeding some as well . not just buying horses like The Falcon for example, or yearlings. And is using way more than the 17 trainers now , and is up over 30 trainers winning races with his horses now . !! What support that is to the Participants !!  that is amazing . as he gets good quality stock to a lot of small time trainers. even with young Gemma Hewitt at Albion winning for him the other night, just one example.  Actually I was surprised the other night at Albion , when Grant Dixon told me that Seymour DIDn't Breed Leap To Fame himself. I was very surprised. Most of his horses are bred by himself and Kay at their stud.  Instead,  Grant said he and his wife Trista went to the Sydney Yearling sale and picked it (LTF)  out for the Seymours themselves , and paid just $42,000 for him . Bit of a Bargain ? lol 😂🤣💰 not a bad purchase at all lol. He's over $5,000,000 in earnings now I think.  
    • A long and successful Waikato breeding partnership was to the fore again at Matamata on Saturday where My Lips Are Sealed doubled her stakes tally. The Mark Walker and Sam Bergerson-trained mare made all the running in the hands of Rory Hutchings for a comfortable resuming victory in the Listed Lisa Chittick Champagne Stakes (1400m). My Lips Are Sealed was bred by Rich Hill Stud, who stand her sire Ace High, and Scott Williams’ Bloodstock Resources, and was sold through the former’s draft at New Zealand Bloodstock’s National Yearling Sale to Te Akau’s David Ellis for $160,000. “She was the highest priced yearling at Karaka from Ace High’s first crop,” Rich Hill’s John Thompson said. She has now won on five occasions, including last season’s Gr.3 Phar Lap Trophy (1600m) ahead of a third placing in the 2025 Lisa Chittick. Rich Hill and Williams joined forces in 1998 to purchase My Lips Are Sealed’s dam What Can I Say in a private deal. The daughter of Khozaam was secured after producing two foals in Australia, including four-time Group winner and multiple Group One placegetter Only Words. “We bought the mare a long time ago, Bob Vance trained her and she was a great wet tracker,” Thompson said. “She went to Sydney one year and won the Warwick Stakes (Gr.2, 1400m) with Tie The Knot and Might And Power in the field.” What Can I Say was in foal to Rock Of Gibraltar at the time of her purchase and the resulting filly Gibraltar Campion was sold at Karaka for $500,000 and subsequently won two stakes races. “We also sold a Zabeel filly out of What Can I Say for $500,000 at Sydney Easter and then she had six colts in a row,” Thompson said. Her final foal by Tavistock was My Lips Are Sealed’s dam Tellmeaboutit, who was retained and wasn’t persevered with as a racing proposition after jarring up. Tellmeaboutit’s daughter of Satono Aladdin was passed in at Karaka last month and will be raced by Rich Hill and Williams. “She’s got another really nice Satono Aladdin filly at foot and is back in foal to Ace High,” Thompson said. Williams also bred from Tellmeaboutit’s half-sister You Can’t Say That, a daughter of Fusaichi Pegasus. She produced his outstanding Group-winning sprinter Babylon Berlin, who was sold at the end of her decorated racing career for A$850,000 at the Magic Millions Broodmare Sale. “Sean Buckley (Ultra Thoroughbreds) bought her and she’s here on the farm and in foal to Satono Aladdin,” Thompson said.

    • Jill Baffert's Bottle of Rouge (f, 3, Vino Rosso–Blues Corner, by Bluegrass Cat), the 2-5 favorite, survived a steward's inquiry to secure 20 qualifying points to the GI Kentucky Oaks with her victory in the Sunland Park Oaks Sunday evening in New Mexico. Winner of last year's GI Del Mar Debutante, Bouttle of Rouge was making her first start since finishing sixth in the Oct. 31 GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies at Del Mar. The gray filly stalked the pace three wide through fractions of :23.85 and :46.80 and moved up to take the lead into the stretch. She drifted out at the eighth pole and looked to brush with Pashmina (Constitution) before being straightened out by Juan Hernandez and pulling away to the wire. Touch of Magic (Into Mischief) was second and Pashmina third. The time for the mile was 1:35.82. Lifetime Record: 5-3-1-0. O-J Natalie Baffert. B-Kathie Maybee. T-Bob Baffert.

    • Looking at the Racing Calendar - February programming seems to be all over the place.  Tough if you have a mid-grade or Open horse looking for a 1400m race!
