Who?  Why would you spend $200k+ on a yearling and take it to the South Island?

Agree that does seem off, unless they are by passing the ex NI route a lot of horses take and going directly there instead?

Who said they are heading to South Island.....I assume there are still Owners , Trainers and Breeders left in the South .

Breeders in particular like to upgrade their mares etc and the ones purchased look helpful on that front...for starters some are Fillies which helps !

And I caught a glimpse of Southerners who not yet forked out. There will be horses for all budgets

Back in the day ,at the time of the South Islands golden years ,many purchased at these National Sales. The mighty Show Gates grandam and that also of NZ Cup winner Middy were both purchased.....from the Eulogy family and the two fillies were the foundation of dozens of winners for Gordon T.

So add the Southerners purchases this week ,to that of Te Akau , KRae , S Marsh , Go Racing etc along with the boss of Entain ...he's been busy already and along with any homebreds and the Southerners can go to the prorammers and say we have 20 plus 2 x yr olds ready to go and get the Southern 2 yr old racing back.

Create , don't cry....the programmers will put the races on if the horses are there .

Maybe time for a bit of collaborative initiative from the South !
