Moshe

MOSHE, the multiple winning brother to World Champion, Black Caviar, and half brother to brilliant 2YO, All Too Hard, will stand at Eliza Park in 2012.
Eagerly sought by stud farms throughout Australasia, Moshe provides broodmare owners with the opportunity to tap into the hottest family in Australia.
Indicative of the pedigree’s popularity is the yearling half sister to Moshe that was sold at last week’s 2012 Australian Easter Yearling Sale for $2.6 million.
Only lightly raced, Moshe won three from five starts including a six lengths romp at Bendigo on debut in a blistering 56.95 seconds (just outside the course record established in 1999). Moshe also won twice over 1000m at Moonee Valley, the latter while carrying 59kgs.
Like his big sister, you wouldn’t miss Moshe in a crowd …
“Having seen Moshe for the first time I was really impressed with his physical appearance … he’s a very masculine horse like his sire Bel Esprit,” Eliza Park nominations manager, Mark Lindsay points out. “Moshe is already 640kgs, has tremendous length, bone and conformation and we’re delighted to have the opportunity to stand him at Eliza Park … particularly given our close association with the family over the years! Eliza Park stands his sire, Bel Esprit AND bred and sold his mother, Helsinge.”
As speculation grew as to his stud plans, the Sunday Herald Sun announced that “Moshe has the bloodlines and now the headlines” and he will clearly be one of the most sought out stallions in 2012.
Moshe’s racehorse owners – a large syndicate formed by Roy Higgins and Wylie Dalziel Racing – have retained an interest in Black Caviar’s brother and an introductory service fee will be announced shortly.

Why was he retired to stud so early..?

Agree, i was also thinking around $6k but Eliza usually charge about double my estimate, so probably $12k.

Asking anything more than 8 is an insult.. and frankly some of these stallion masters have to realize some sires just ARE not premier grade right off the mark.  Some have to prove it!! In my eyes moshe has to prove it, just as he had to prove he had ability on the track. He's not Caviar.

Moshe to stand his first season for $6,600 inc gst.

$6k  is spot on he should get full books 1st 2 years then everyone can judge his offspring and if they have good size and hit the ground running Bingo his price will soar!!!

Problem is you can never measure up to a freakishly good sister. ATH will suffer the same curse. Hawkes will be very very selective in what races he places him in. It will be all about maintaining a good winning record and pinching a weak G1 somewhere with him.

A tad presumptious in hindsight there Troppo but then as they say " hindsight is a wonderful thing"

Exactly troppo. My mare headed off to Eliza park yesterday.

Since when ar Gr 1 races weak, always consider them tough races to win regardless of where they are, much like a maiden hcp in Stanthorpe

Well one thing for sure is that ALT has turned out to be way way better than most good judges gave him credit for. He has no doubt helped inflate the worth and appeal of Moshe as a sire along with it.

The word in the house is that they have broken in well and will start hitting the track later this year.

Signs are good and showing potential. The all say that I suppose.

Anyone else heard any news?

Nice.

I hope she turns out to be good.

What is her racing name?

i  reckon she will reply A, she went offline before you sent your message.

Hi, only just saw your message, have had gastro for a few days, and couldn't be bothered looking at the computer.  We call her Toffee, she's out of sunshine lollipop.  Real name yet to come. Will let you know. Cheers. Elly
