This is bordering on the F/unbelievable. At least 31 new sires >$6K
 
Plus there are about 30 commercially advertised @6+  to have their first runners in the new season

I had AP Indy in mind re Al Mufti, so should state nephew as opposed to brother (come to think of it, same goes for Pulpit/Tale of the Cat & Lecture), but the point remains the same. I did at least recognise the name from somewhere, though I’m not sure where exactly... the answer is only ever a few clicks away LOL

Throw in Roberto’s full brother & Royal Meeting is nothing if not intriguing.


The extended female family itself is interesting, if for no other reason than it regularly produces fast horses that are seemingly very sound.  Lots of offspring with ~8-9 starts per season for 2-3 years, and not just the geldings.

$6k is a pretty low benchmark... The 90s are long gone.

That's fair enough comment, but at least 2 dozen are asking for 10 plus
There are at least 6 Vic newbies seriously overvalued, especially in light of what our economy will be once their offspring start hitting the market as weanlings

Bellevue Hill is a late addition to the burgeoning stallion ranks at $11K to Aquis. Yiu can't help but think that they planned to race on and then pulled the pin when he clearly didn't come up as a three year old, which doesn't bode well. Any thoughts on him?

Just more more rubbish to downgrade the breed imo Robbo.

This was posted in relation to Deep Field.

Today Ajyaal by Deep Field went around at Ballarat for the Hayes Dabernig team only to run last beaten nearly 10 lengths.  Following a throat/wind operation.  Embarrassed  Shocked

What's worrying is that we have equity in a Deep Field - Oomaroo 2yo who's shown natural ability.  Can only wonder what'll happen when the acid is applied.

I've heard similar re. Turffontein but hey, they're not all affected, so worry about it if it comes to be & not before LOL
Wisdom has been chasing me but I've always outrun it!

Too true Gay, though the possibility somehow keeps recurring in my mind.

ps his feet were !*# awful as a yearling too, but are hopefully ok now.

I was wondering what people think of Brutal.  He's not too dear and won his first three starts including a 2yo 1200m at Caulfield by 5 lengths.  He seems a very quiet stallion but a friend was looking at him.

I give him a great chance Furious.  O'Reilly can produce a stallion son (Alamosa, Sacred Falls etc) and this fellow could certainly gallop.  Has served two large books so far which should give him every chance.

THat's what I thought and don't mind that I picked him from the sales - but I'm no good at picking stallions.  I thought Galileo was a shoe in and Sepoy and neither worked.  So I do doubt myself.  Friend on the other hand is quite clue - I call him the canny lad.  He can find them.

Grunt is an imposing big bloke which is probably why he was at his best at Flemington.  As are his yearlings which will clearly take time, and hopefully trainers will give them just that. Thumbs Up
