I think this stallion stands in New Zealand. Anyone know much about him? 

He's had only 8 runners in Australia. Five have won city races, one stakes winner and two stakes placed. All over a trip. His city winners are Unfurl, Broadside, Chequered Flag, Yogi, Parthesia. He also has a promising stayer in Ubin Thunderstruck which is favourite at Sandown today.

I have no idea how he's gone in NZ, but on his Aussie runners he could be a pretty good sire of stayers.

I assumed he'd be $8/10 but luckily looked just before the jump & was still getting the bet on after the gates opened, thankfully. I still can't believe the price knowing the breed love the wet the Weir & Childs over ground Big smile
Best tote so $30 Big smile

Hopefully he can get a few good mares now

The Anderton family at White Robe Lodge on the NZ South Island has always had a knack of unearthing terrific staying stallions.

Mellay in the 70’s was followed by Noble Bijou in the 80’s & 90’s. More recently they’ve had Yamanin Vital, Personal Escort......and now Raise The Flag.

And the stud keeps tried & true old school stamina crosses going.

Check out Parthesia’s pedigree.....which has both Noble Bijou and Mellay.

Finally found the mare that I wanted to send to this stallion.  Looking forward to this breed to race initiative.

She is a young daughter of I am Invincible out of the family that produced the Melb Cup winner Prince of Penzance.

I like the scopey type she is with the more compact stallion that he is.  Also hoping that the I am Inv adds some speed as he can produce tough dour types.

Parthesia resumes her racing career tomorrow at Mount Gambier over the 1550m.
Won the TAS Oaks as a 3yo, before going on to win the Bagot on New Years Day 2018 as a 4yo. Hasn’t raced since.

Been out for a long time, now trained by Symon Wilde.

Will be keeping an eye on her.
Karl and Susan Kennedy are my heroes
