I’m sure if someone offers enough money they’ll open up.
I doubt it. They'd be ostracized from the racing community.Eohippus wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2024 1:50 pmI’m sure if someone offers enough money they’ll open up.
I wasn’t the biggest fan of the horse, but I really am concerned about his health, he was never sound and if laminitis doesn’t get him the strain on his back will. Have any prominent equine veterinarians ever spoken out against the practice of excessively large books?
God what the heck. Those legs straighter than I am
And yes it is greedy and cruel.Akitaperson wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2024 10:59 pmwho currently owns her?
Breeding that mare is the definition of greed
Repole is neatly ignoring the fact that the U.S. industry has been plundering stallions and broodmares from Europe from the get-go. What if Lady Angela or Nasrullah had not been imported? No Nothern Dancer or Bold Ruler.Danniwolfe wrote: ↑Tue Feb 20, 2024 11:33 pm What could Mike be talking about? I'm glad they have strict rules set in place(that's even if they do.

Of course, he wants to restrict free trade when it forces HIM to spend more at auctions.
Anyone can register to buy a Japanese horse it's not that hard. And he complains about Japan almost buying nest. Don't put her in the sale then? Like lol. Also how did that bringing Sunday silence blood back go? Yoshida didn't stay in the US long. I'm glad someone is buying the horses cause at least they care.Private Thoughts wrote: ↑Wed Feb 21, 2024 9:14 pm I agree with his tweet 100%.
Japan does make it difficult and for good reason, they want their champions and offspring to stay in Japan. How many stallions in Japan are standing to small books, similar to stallions in the US who get sent to Japan. You don't see them selling them to US breeders, nope, they keep them, even if only breeding 10 mares. Maybe they should sell them and give them a better chance to be a success in a different market? But, no, only we should do that.
While the US may have imported many good horses from Europe, many were sent here to avoid being killed or requisitioned for war duty during WWI and WWII.
I love Japanese racing,, but I love American racing more, and I hate to see our top class mares being snapped up and sent abroad. It's going to end up hurting US breeding in the long run. Props to Mr. Repole for having the courage to speak the truth.
It wasn't up to him to put Nest in the sale. Thats what Eclipse Does when they have partnerships. Good on him for keeping his word about buying her after she won the Shuvee.Danniwolfe wrote: ↑Wed Feb 21, 2024 9:50 pmAnyone can register to buy a Japanese horse it's not that hard.
