It's almost like the stock market now Doomed. Many horses have many owners as the Bloodstock companies like OTI and many others sell micro shares. hundreds are sometimes involved in just a few horses. It's just like having shares in a company on the stock market. (but the company has too much dud stock lol , as well as the good ones. One dud can cost 100's of 1000's dollars sometimes lol) the problem is this .> Only 15% of horses that get to the races ultimately return a profit, after all the fees and lifetime expenses. and a darn lot of them don't even run fast enough to get to the races either. lol. My guess is this Ladbrokes Australia racing Club had Too Many Duds. Only approx one in 10 horses are earning enough to pay their way about the place . 9 out of 10 is a LOT of LOSERS) -
I clicked on that link and apparently I'm now a member of the club. I take it all back. I can feel the excitement rising. -
Yes, $1m for the Oaks and all it does is keep a promising horse in NZ for a couple of starts. I suppose the Derby is worth well over $1m. Who is more valuable to NZ racing, the Oaks and Derby favs or Mr Intelligence? I would suggest Mr Intelligence has generated more interest and turnover for NZ Racing than those 3yos will long term.

The idea that "WE" keep our best horses in NZ is ludicrous. Money talks and owners walks, thanks for the millions. Those owners that are not totally money orientated tend to keep a minor share achieving the best of both worlds. Most of our horses despite the marketing do not stack up against international competition. Don't bother giving me your Mr Brightside, Ka Ying Rising etc rebuttals, because they are the exceptional exceptions that keep overseas buyers coming back for more. We are a trading nation. A lot of the nostalgic comment about the great years of 60's/70's is due to the fact there was not the markets available then that is now. In fact back then the Aussies really feared the NZ staying horses even though it was a lot harder to travel from NZ compared to today. Footnote, they have never feared our sprinters as todays G1 result vindicates so from time to time clever people say "lets play them at their own game" and get results such as purchasing Imperatriz! -

Emphasize winning at Caulfield. Photo: Bruno Cannatelli The Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young trained three-year-old Emphasize has again flagged his staying credentials with a hard-fought victory over older horses at Caulfield. The son of Embellish cruised to victory at Sale in January and was due to step out at Sandown last week, but dislodged his rider on the way to the barriers and was duly scratched. Seven days later the gelding put up a tough performance to loop the field and stave off handy four-year-old Inevitable Award as he posted his second victory from three starts. Stakes targets now beckon the gelding, who was well ridden by Craig Williams after stepping away slowly. “We certainly thought he’d be closer than what he was, but he missed away and Craig sorted the rest out,” Busuttin said. “It was a good tough win. The second horse is a reasonable horse and he hit the front early enough and I thought the second horse was going to get past him but he toughed it out. “He was five weeks between runs and he’s a keen enough going horse.” The Group 2 Autumn Classic (1800m) back at Caulfield in a fortnight shapes as the next likely target before a tilt at either the Group 1 Rosehill Guineas (2000m) or Group 2 Alister Clark Stakes (2040m) which are both on March 22. Noted as a stable that can train a three-year-old stayer, Busuttin said the Kiwi bred had improved significantly since the spring and patience is being rewarded. “Leading into the spring, he was just a horse,” Busuttin said. “It was time to either race or put him in the paddock and we opted for the latter. “He has come on big time and he can’t do much more than what he has done, so we will see where he is in a couple of months.” Horse racing news View the full article
