Sh'Bourne Star

time to start planning......

Sh'Bourne Star should go to a stallion this year money permitting. I am happy to look to Victoria up to 11 grand although i have had very little luck sending mares there. being by Rothesay there is already one Male Danehill in the mix.

Given the results of Wordsmith of late he is currently my preference . The lines may not be awesome but it doesnt appear to matter with him. He just throws winners from any lines thrown at him. Happy to consider any of the performing Tassie sires too. I know Toorak Toff has some nice crosses however his stakes records is poor.

thanks in advance for your great support and knowledge.

Cheers Slowdown.

One from left field in Vic. about $2k & guaranteed to be treated like one of her own. Kylie Stephenson who you may know (involved in getting your ex mare out of Echuca & back to you) has about 25 years reproductive experience & is fastidious. He's thrown winners up North & has superb temp.

Wisdom has been chasing me but I've always outrun it!

Slowdown, as with Gay's suggestion and imo you need Redoute's Choice in the sire.

For me the clear standout from a breed to race perspective in particular is Thronum. A match would give you siblings Shantha's Choice and Umatilla 4 x 3, and further sibs Canny Lad and Canny Lass 5 x 4.

Add in crosses of Danehill (4th remove), Lunchtime, Mr Prospector, Nijinsky, Buckpasser etc etc and it's a really attractive march.

Plus the Widden (Vic) personnel will to a large extent be the same ones you've dealt successfully with in the past under the Sun Stud banner. Reckon you could get him for about $4,400.

If you want to stay at home Needs Further might do.

Over to others.

Master of Desigh adds a 3rd Best in Show if that's of any consequence. Redente & Pariah are other Vic. Redoute's.

Wisdom has been chasing me but I've always outrun it!

Good call Shawy. Had forgotten he was heading down to Tassie.

Bel Espirit, rebel Dane

Wisdom has been chasing me but I've always outrun it!

So thus far we're down to Needs Further and Wordsmith (Tassie at least) in terms of proven stallions.

You forgot Toorak Toff who's going super

Another one by Lonhro in Victoria is Mezyaan - unraced due to injury in training, but he's a lovely specimen and temperament. I have my mare in foal to him at the moment.

gday Everyone, thanks so much for your input. Unfortunately we have had some family issues in the last 24 hours so just focussing on getting kids to school, work and farm. I will go over all of your advice shortly. really appreciate your thoughts. Cheers Slowdown.

Rebel - racing. Lionel - in work. Glory - spelling. Ray - spelling. A Wee Nip - in work.

My wishes also for everything to be okay.

Cheers Guys, hopefully Liz will be home from hospital tomorrow and at this stage just meds until she can see the specialist. appreciate your kind thoughts.

Rebel - racing. Lionel - in work. Glory - spelling. Ray - spelling. A Wee Nip - in work.

For Me , I like Starcraft for her , he seems to like key elements her bloodlines , not sure of fee or availability but was an extremely good racehorse ,with a talent for producing a very good horse when needed .

Well Slowdown wants a proven sire, and that entirely changes the ball game.

Most proven Victorian based sire are out of his price range, which to my mind leads us to Al Maher and Bel Esprit (both getting on, particularly the latter) and Rebel Dane which has started his stud career well with a stakes-winner from his first small crop.

Deja Vu all over again. Smile
