The Harnessed magazine for January is out now, so I have added the last article in the series I wrote for that publication.
The article is about the sires who were “new boys on the block” 10 years ago, standing their first season in New Zealand. What happened to them?
The results show it is just as hard to make your career as a sire as it is as a broodmare – maybe for different reasons, but a hard row to hoe none the less.
The new sires of the 2004/5 season (and their service fees) were:
Red River Hanover, I Am A Fool and McArdle (all standing for $6000), Totally Western ($2750), Cammibest ($2500), Julius Caesar ($2000), and Danny B ($475).
Read the article – and others in the series – here.
(I am taking a short break from writing for the magazine due to “day job” commitments. But I recommend the magazine for subscription here or overseas. It is a good read about racing, owning and breeding standardbreds in New Zealand, and additional information on Australian, North American and European racing from a “Kiwi” perspective. Subscription details here It is published by Harness Racing New Zealand)
