As some of you will be aware, I have two lives. One is as a breeder and thoroughbred consultant; the other is as a secondary-school teacher of English. In this latter role I’ve spent the last 48 years at Feilding High School. It’s been an absolute blast, but the body is telling me that enough is enough.
Anyway, I won’t be able to afford to keep all my horses when I exit FAHS in early December, so I’ll leave it up to the market to pick through the following animals.
Racehorses for Sale or Lease.
Nortolose (4g Highly Recommended – Flirtation). Slow developing stayer, similar to most of his recent relatives. Has been patiently handled by Danny Frye and is currently spelling. Dam is a ¾ sister to our homebred SW La Nouvelle Vague, the St Reims gelding who holds the Australasian record for 2600 metres Other close relatives are Bodie (G1 Auckland Cup), SP The Jungle Boy and SP Rising Tide.
Unnamed 2f by El Doute – Kool Connection (Iffraaj). The dam is a winning daughter of G3 winner Sokool. Recently broken in by Ilone Kelly, this filly has been spelling for six weeks and is ready to go into full work.
Weanling filly by Echoes of Heaven – Misty Trella (Thorn Park). I deliberately purchased the two-win dam of this filly to go to EoH, a stallion I’ve been fortunate enough to have a fair amount of success with. I can forward you some photos of this filly; they show that she is powerfully built and correct. She’s currently being agisted at Norwegian Park at Karapiro. Peter Westend reports that she has an outstanding attitude.
