Which Yearling Auction House does it differently?
-
Seems Day's 1 and 2 are on par with previous years in terms of clearance rate and we'll up on median price.
-
Have you coordinated with the other club or clubs that had similar issues with the Stipe in question to add weight to your submissions?
-
I had a big issue on BOAY and spoke with him directly. Considering I had given him and the RIB a big diss I found him pretty damn reasonable to talk to. The issue was dealt to effectively and in the right way. I've also spoken to a couple of RIB board members and they are as frustrated as the rest of us. In my opinion as my father taught me it is best to tackle these things head on and at the end of the day we all put our legs in the same holes in our pyjama's. If Reefton wants some phone numbers then he can PM me.
-
We realise this.
-
Well what odds did you get?
-
Well FFS why not give the guy a call?
-
Stop being a belligerent old prick. You've sent your concerns in writing. Give Clement a call.
-
Just call him and some Board members. Be proactive.
-
Have you contacted any board members? I know at least two are not happy with the current setup.
-
Reefton should be straight on the phone to Clement. He's a reasonable guy to talk to. A couple of the Board members are OK too.
-
The colleagues - Apathy and Self-interest.
-
Ok you don't have enough cred to get a quote from an OZ bookie?
-
Another confusing post.
-
They still are good at finding stallions. However it is harder to be successful today. It is easier when a Stud has a large number of good broodmares and the best paddocks in the land. It gives the Stallion every opportunity to perform. White Robe also had neighbours with big broodmare numbers and South Island racing numbers were strong.

Zed was sold for $400,000 as a yearling in 2004. Or about $625k+ in today's dollars. Mmmmmm around the same price as the Savabeel yesterday. Comprendez? Both have black type performance in their pedigree.
-
A bit negative @Joe Bloggs and not supported by the stats from day 1.
-
Hardly "insidious" as it has been blatantly publicised as the preferred course of action in the Messara report and the legislation that was passed.
-
Shouldn't it start with an inquiry into INCA? Those involved in that are the source of the rot.
-
But the RIB is the result of "reform"! Many posters on the forums supported the reforms. I recall @Thomass was one of the biggest advocates one reason being potential cost savings. Yet expenses have blown out to far higher levels than before. Some of us here including myself pointed out in no uncertain terms that the reforms were a mistake that would cost the industry dearly. Not only in monetary terms but also integrity wise. There were promises of the ex-cop INCA culture being cleaned out but nothing has happened yet. Not surprisingly when the CEO is from the same ilk.
-
As a self professed successful punter why don't you give the OZ bookies a call and get a quote. We'd all be interested to see the result.
-
You seemed confused.
-
Then all the major successful players in the game are "fuckwits" according to you. As I said earlier Ellis spreads his risk and balances the portfolio. You can't buy a stallion pedigree cheaply. Unless you were Paddy Hogan 50 years ago.
-
Are you on the cheap muscat vino now in the Gold Coast sun because you've stopped making any sense. Just bitter now.
-
In NZ who else would you want to buy into a syndicate with? The only others are Fortuna, Go Racing and Marsh. Who has the best results in NZ? Bearing in mind Fortuna use Te Akau as their trainers.
