    But what IS YOUR reality? It seems to be clouded by green tinted shades of envy. The facts are Te Akau just like many top OZ stables runs a well run and successful stable. What's wrong with that? Or are you bogged down with your scythe in the poppy field?

    It takes a Stallion and a Mare to produce a foal. As always you are only look at one side of the equation. Of course the most influential sire in NZ's breeding history came from Ireland. New blood helps improve the breed.

    You obviously didn't get the memo or listen to the DCE interview. The horse is having a short break and then aimed for racing late summer/early autumn.
  4. Chief Stipe
    So the Te Akau business model works!

    @Huey looks like you missed out on a share in the sales topper. The syndicate is full.
  6. Chief Stipe
    I see the shares in the sale topper have all been sold.

    How about an additional rule: If the Trainer of a horse so declares that the Jockey engaged to ride their horse is not required to carry a whip the Jockey must adhere to the Trainers wishes.

    Race 6 Happy Birthday Chris Haigh Sprint - C4 - 318 OPAWA STAYER (2) - referred to the Veterinarian after contacting the rail first turn becoming unbalanced losing ground and cleared of injury. WAITERIMU GEM (8) - warning placed for conduct at the lure.

    Not at all. What does annoy the shyte out of me is @Thomass and @Yankiwi making crap up. That doesn't serve any purpose whatsoever.

    This crap:

    In reality how far away are these Ready-to-Run horses from racing?
  12. Chief Stipe
    If you continue to write fiction then you may end up having to do it elsewhere I.e. not here.

    Positive results for the Ready-to-Run Sale 2024. Reasonable clearance rate and mean/median up on past years. The sale topper so far looks a very nice horse. I would have thought a great looking I'm Invincible colt out of a Grp 1 winning Savabeel mare, who broke 10 seconds in the breeze up was a good buy at $1.65m. https://www.nzb.co.nz/sales/24rtr/174

    WTF are you on about? You have a hatedom for the most successful stable in New Zealand. So much so it clouds your judgement. Whatever the Te Akau business model is it is successful. What's more no one is forced to sign up to a horse syndicate and it is made very clear at the beginning of the process what the terms and conditions are. Of course there are alternative models one of which you must have signed up to. I hope it is going well for you.

    They'll probably take them off next start just to keep the horse guessing.
  18. Chief Stipe
    Perhaps you should take your BS Shades off. Might help you write fact rather than fiction. Aside from an obtuse jibe at the sale topping purchase you haven't explained anything about the "business model'!
  19. Chief Stipe
    So the "TA trained mare" was actually a well bred colt?
  20. Chief Stipe
    What mare?
  21. Chief Stipe
    Hasn't been racing too bad without them. What about the other three in the race that have Blinker "first time"? How do we choose which one has had the magic enhancement? Or do we just settle on value based on exposed form?
  22. Chief Stipe
    Any advice on how to handle you? You meet the anti-racing type criteria but not the "having a bloody good point" criteria.
  23. Chief Stipe
    Do you blame him when someone like yourself writes such crap about what Kevin Myers says?
  24. Chief Stipe
    We actually have a law in NZ that states you can't hit a horse on the head. So I could have been criminally charged for whacking a horse with my elbow in the chops while it was on a lead when it came up for the second time to bite me in the back while I was driving another horse. BTW the horse never tried it again.
  25. Chief Stipe
    What about the sales results?
