Dirty Work (Written Tycoon) - TBA
Swear (Redoute’s Choice) - $5,500
Gold Standard (Sebring) - $5,500
Overshare (I Am Invincible) - $11,000
Vino Rosso (Curlin) - $13,750
Omaha Beach (War Front) - $22,000


That roster is not half bad. Omaha Beach would have to be one of the best pedigrees in Victoria.

$19,800 for Dirty Work going by their site.

GTFO. Not a Gr1 win in sight, in either his race record or his pedigree.

ShockedOuch Wowsers!

Sensible pricing was one of their more attractive qualities... they could’ve plucked $16,500 out of their arse like everyone else & no one would bat an eyelid. For the sake of a measly three grand, they’ve completely flipped the customer conversation - that’s if they can still bring any to the table.

As Glencoe rightly points out, the relatives are now part of the story. The weanling tomorrow, the $18k yearling full sister in an online sale... was the full brother not offered, or not accepted?

The astute buyer might’ve asked these questions anyway, but a price tag just shy of $20k makes it hard for the buyer to compromise. It sets the bar higher for the resulting offspring.

Then there’s the potential damage to their existing business, as they’ve priced him higher than their own international G1 champ... is Vino Rosso less premium?? 

It’s a flustercluck waiting to happen.

Received the promo from Spendthrift.

I replied "You must be joking about his stud fee".

And Garry Cuddy responded with this unrepentant and arguably somewhat smug and facetious response: "We agree, very affordable and an exciting opportunity for breeders.  Appreciate your time to send your email".
