Pins Outstanding Australasian Value

1 August 2011

If you were wondering how Pins stacks up against his Australian peers for global earnings last season, check out Arion’s homepage www.arion.co.nz (see image left).

With international progeny earnings of over NZ$11million, Pins is New Zealand’s leading stallion in 2010/2011 for global earnings.

Such a haul sees him more than foot it with the big boys in Australia. At season end, this is how they fared:

1	Encosta de Lago	A$11,575,262
2	Redoute’s Choice	$10.589,475
3	Lonhro	$9,993,362
4	More Than Ready	$8,924,362

The Corner with Garry Chittick

The writing of my Corner started many years ago, motivated by an irritation that I felt needed scratching.

It is both disappointing and ironical that what should be a simple, straightforward business provides a regular need for comment.
