I hear you Dale and even though I go through pedigree's closely, I know others that go on sight only and they have been in this industry for many years.+
Spudley - I wonder if any tested positive??? Probably not as the breeder would have to be charged with something - administering a banned substance?? I see another foreman going by the wayside..haha - and the sale annulled.
I'm sure even Gerry couldn't keep that out of the news!! If I paid the $500(due to muscle formation that I thought was suss, otherwise I wouldn't have it done), the very next day I'd get a second opinion, as it wouldn't be in MM's interest to have a positive result!!

do the breeding and conformation yourself
Some of those Vital Equine stock can get pretty big on top as yearlings. He has had 99 runners for 46 runners including his latest crop with just the one stakes winner and a couple stakes performed. The numbers are not great and priced at around $2,000 his stud fee is reasonable value for money, but he doesn't have commercial prospects for anything other than outstanding yearling types and then only here in Perth.
Giant's Causeway as a damsire has produced 35 stakes winners, most notably in Australia via Bel Esprit, Magnus, Fastnet Rock, Oratorio(Stravinsky). Around the World Giant's Causeway seems to cross well with a number of sirelines but grandsons of Danehill figure slightly more than other lines. i would be weary about close up breeding to Storm Cat, it does produce but at a slow rate for the number of times it has been tried.
I hope this helps in some small way. Good luck with the Colt.

I just want to know because I'm wondering why all the good judges didn't buy Group 1 horses like Scenic Blast, Famous Roman, Magnifisio and Luckygray, all of whom were sold for less than $100,000 and all at Premier Sales here in Perth. All of those yearlings were sold in contested bidding at auctions where plenty of people had them out of their boxes.

Here are a couple of shots of the Farrier's apprentice, Scott Wilson.

The images of Ellie Cockram and Sonya Price have had in excess of 10,000 views on Facebook. The Murdoch album has passed 6,000 views with twice as much having just been added from yesterday.
The metallic and canvas prints up to 75x114 cm will be on display for the two days of the sale and have been organised at my own cost from photography to printing and display. Furthermore, I am donating to Murdoch a couple of those pieces for permanent display following the yearling sale.
So I hope that answers your question, even though I don't understand what makes you ask.

Just a suggestion, if you are looking to promote the industry to a wider audience, why not try exhibiting to a non racing audience?
Like the photos, by the way - that dentist can keep his job!!
I will talk to a mate after this show as he owns a very nice car showroom and he might see a cross promotion in it somewhere.
the faint hearted could flip to a different thread.
nice to see where our money goes.... ;)
The horse was fully medicated and secured in a stand up box that Martin brings with him on site. I will find out in the days ahead on how the horse is doing, but seeing this thing come out it has to be better.
After this extraction, Martin and I had a chat about racehorses, or what he see's mostly as retired horses as he works mostly in equestrian circles. He remarked on one in particular that as a just turned four year old, he was asked to consult on it's teeth. This was a poor performing, pretty ordinary doer and not a great eater. What he found was that the horse improved remarkably with corrective dental work and he wondered if had that been done early enough, would in fact the Owner still have a racehorse ? Who knows what that horse originally cost to buy and train, but my guess is a hell of a lot more than an expert consult on an annual basis.
Something to think about heading into yearling sales with clients hopes and dreams on the line.
We had some teeth problems such as parrot mouths etc and he managed them
very well.

Again one or two of these images will be shown at the upcoming Magic Millions Yearling Sale in Perth in mid February.
