    PRIME DISPATCH EDITION 277 – 01/09/2020 Compiled by Joe o’NeILL Zizzis has retired and will go to the 2019 Everest winner Yes Yes Yes!!! The mating should produce a ¾ to Rubisaki!!! It certainly has been a tough year for many Australians. I’m fortunate it has been pretty much business as usual for us. The new season started strongly with a couple of winners. We should have a reasonable number of runners during the Spring with the number of runners increasing as we get closer to Christmas. We are indebted to the staffs at each of the racing jurisdictions for keeping racing going during the past few months when many industries have been closed or operating at low levels. I was keen to find out the numbers of mares being bred for the coming season. The feeling I got while I was in the Hunter Valley was the numbers are good although some of the lower end sires were struggling a bit. The situation in many of the smaller states isn’t as good with many smaller or hobby breeders holding back. We purchase most of our yearlings from the NSW studs so the lesser numbers being bred across the country shouldn’t have a big effect on us. I picked up quite a bit of information while I was in the Hunter. The breeders in this region really have their fingers on the pulse and pick up trends earlier than most. I suppose that is why 18 of the top 20 sires on the Australian General Sires List for last season either stood in NSW or will stand there for the coming season.
