    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.

    TUESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2019 NIXON HAS BIG PLANS FOR LUCULLAN MAKES THE GRADE IN KNICKERBOCKER by Alan Carasso GRANTLEY ACRES Having flirted with graded stakes success on a couple of previous occasions, Godolphin homebred Lucullan (Hard Spun) got over that hurdle with a fast-finishing victory in Monday=s GII Knickerbocker S. at Belmont Park. The immaculately bred 5-year-old settled in fourth position leaving the stretch as longshot Dr. Edgar (Lookin At Lucky) set only a moderate pace in advance of GISW Glorious Empire (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}), who was content to stalk from second despite his penchant to lead in his races. Favored Catholic Boy (More Than Ready) was purposely kept in the clear from third down the backstretch. Dr. Edgar galloped them along at an even clip, going by the three-furlong pole in 1:12.02, but Lucullan was beginning to warm up to the task as he circled five wide into the lane.
