The dude who has purchased The Autumn Sun knows exactly what Redoute's are like, which is why I find stories of him campaigning past his 3yos season and campaigning overseas extremely hard to believe.
An honest politician is one who when he is bought will stay bought.

Personally I wouldn't support the horse at stud out of principle and the fact I think Redoubt's are pea-hearted just like the owners.

Harsh, yes. But imagine if Northerly was campaigned around Sunline. What a build-up if they both ran, would be great for racing.


Sounds a bit like SEPOY actively dodging BLACK CAVIAR. It was indicated early on he would not take her on and look for other races, trying to protect stud value.

Personally, I think Group 1 races should be heavily cut back to encourage the best to race the best. And even change the prizemoney structure of these races so they are not so heavily geared to the winner. The issue you have at the moment is why race for 2nd against WINX in say the Group 1 Turnbull Stakes, when 2nd prizemoney is less than winning most normal races.

Keep yourself in the best company and your horses in the worst. Makes sense to me if people want to target races they can win and avoid those they can't.

I can't help myself Lordy... Have you always applied the same wisdom to your race track experience - and I am not talking about the company you keep, more your horse...

If not, what changed your mind ? Big smile

Ole Buff never dodged anything. But he was a gelding I suppose. If you’ve got a well bred youngster, steer him into one of the plethora of substandard G1 races in the country and Hey Presto. Hopefully then one of his babies can do the same. Rinse, repeat.

Even heard some leading trainers around refer to (market themselves) as “stallion makers”. And in the meantime, our horses are getting worse.

Why would anyone in there right mind send an expensive colt around to run 2nd, 2nd, 2nd when you could go 1st, 1st, 1st in other G1 races

Does running second to Black Caviar as opposed to beating a far lesser horse make him better? Likely to be a better stallion? To rich morons, probably yes.

I don’t see how running 2nd to Winx would make any difference to his stud career.
His DNA is not going to change, he is either going to be a stud champion or a dud.
His racing career from here on in is irrelevant.

By not racing Winx they could always fan the flames of speculation that he could have beaten her.

This war between Sydney and Melbourne is only hurting racing, there needs to be a national independent body rather then the current model that works on self interest. For mine Melbourne started this by allowing their autumn carnival to encrouch on the Sydney autumn.

If the top 10 remain the same then you may have to change it again and drop Star from the title.

They add four wild cards to the race two weeks before so he may get some competition in the form of that.

They run the risk of a loss of credibility for this race before it’s even been run if some of these get a guernsey. Do you really want a $5m race with horses that can’t even win a class 6 at the Sunshine Coast?
