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

G3 TAB Mile trifecta for Waikato sires

Recording his first Group victory, and second at black-type level after success in the Listed Lindauer Stewards Stakes some 12 months back, Ocean Park gelding Mystic Park led home an impressive one-two-three result for the Waikato stallions, defeating Sir Albert (Savabeel) and Cannon Hill (Ardrossan) in Wednesday’s Gr.3 TAB Mile (1600m) at Riccarton Park.

The Corner with Garry Chittick

Now, I don’t know either, and I am sure they have been confirmed for the right reasons – I think my concern is where is it our leaders believe they are taking us.
