Chief Stipe Posted Monday at 08:51 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:51 PM 37 minutes ago, Murray Fish said: correct to say not a great sale for them? Depends what their objective was. They've cleared a lot of yearlings off their property so don't have to carry them anymore nor spend hours trying to sell or place them somewhere else. Perhaps they have a new strategy - Studs that have been round for a long time have quite a ruthless approach to culling non-performing or marketable stock. They aren't emotionally attached! Also many overlook the cost structure for a stud. The largely own all their assets, put their own mares to their own stallions and have bloodstock taxation write off's. So the sales margin for them is a lot different to Joe Breeder in Taihape. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westbury are running a business. They have high end products and low end products. Hard work being a private breeder not running it as a taxable entity. Otherwise you are relying on windfall luck.

CJC for going with a horse who appears to have little chance, or ARC and NZTR for having a horse with little chance in the race when potentially a genuine contender might miss out.
