I had a look at old articles and said he was to be sentenced in November 2020 so end of this year. Very very presumptuous of him to start buying horses. Is he even allowed?

Sugar Me is the full bro & his 1/2 sis at last years or was it year before weanling sale was 2nd top sales to Stonewall Stud for $50k. Read an article them saying they like her she is 2yo now. 1 of my picks is currently TOP Lot so far. Lot 66 $260k brought by Stonewall Stud. Gospel & Pete are so far bang on the money if the highest Lot goes for this TOP $260k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karrotsishere Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 3 hours ago, karrotsishere said: At a glance just looking at dam/sire potential TOP lots coming up could be Lot 61, 66, 69, 71, 75, 76, 78, 101, 107, 111, 138 Auckland Top Lot correct selection guess goes to: Pete & Gospel correctly guessing $260k with Karrots next closet at $270k. Dunn said in interview it was slow to start, but has picked up, which surprised him but pleasantly so how much it picked up. Overall average is noticeably UP. Which was to be expected based on high level catalogue on offer. Was quoted as the best Breckon Farms crop on offer in many years, if not ever. So no surprise they sold Top Lot $260k. This was however noticeably lower than last years Auckland Top Lot $300k. The buyers of Auckland Top Lot were again Stonewall Stud. Whom purchased Top Auckland Lot last year too. My potential Top Lot guess got TOP Lot 66. Others in bold ones were IMO went lower than thought they would. Lot 61 $47k Lot 66 $260k AUCKLAND TOP LOT Lot 69 $60k Lot 71 $75k Lot 75 $8k Full to Smooth Deal/Linda Lovegrove/BettorStepAside Lot 76 $85k Lot 78 $30k 1/2 bro to Copy That. Won Best Presented Lot 101 $82,500k Lot 107 $28k Full to Sugar Me Lot 111 $60k Lot 138 $55k 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Sunrise Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 Mick Guerin tweeted the average is $12000 higher than any other sale.

It is more the question, have done anything to really stop the slide? They need to do their part by sorting shit like the winning post out at Rangiora, but to be fair to them, the calendar is a good start. They just need to start cleaning up the little things. NZB seem to be conducting a very professional sales with buyers paying good money so they are definitely doing their part. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your list is Range Rovers, Mercedes Benz, etc eg high value inventory, then naturally a higher average. Its normal for them to promote the positive & plus sides of it. Still of note Top Lot price was down not the same, nor higher. Not sure what types are on offer in Christchurch.

karrotsishere Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Just looking at buyers & see Anderson has signed up for another today. Yesterday had him confused with Kerr. Gee hard to keep up lol. But still a ban is a ban. Really shouldn't be able to purchase anything during that time of ban IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the current rules mentioned. 28 minutes ago, Purple Parsnip said: As an unlicensed person under the rules of harness racing I am not prevented from buying a horse at the sales. So then based on current rules, its not really a full ban, if one can have an involvement. Does this include ownership? Imagine a Stuff headline. (Have to watch them, as they love to dish this sort of stuff out mainstream). Banned Harness trainer, convicted human strangler, buys yearlings at Sale.
