Q&A cont.

Wayne Bedggood paramount.I think there is no needs time to an early two-year- phase – for example, a program As a participant in the breeding doubting that the NSW staying old trial can be detrimental to of well funded “novice stayer” and racing industries I seriously ranks will improve over the the horse.These sorts of horses races for younger horses not hope these questions are taken next five years.Most staying need longer spells and need to ready to take on established on board by Racing NSW which horses need 10 runs before they be forgotten.Our natural stayers but needing the chance does need to to program for get close to their best so if you instinct – me included – is to to compete for good stayers.If these races are not haven’t got them to win a try to get the horse to show prizemoney that will help pay patronised by owners and Saturday race they must be in something for the owners to for their education. trainers then we are not jeopardy of the owner running keep them happy.You trial them promoting the worth of the out of patience. and they run poorly,next thing Chris Waller stayer properly to the industry, we trial them again with I don’t think prizemoney is the assuming there is adequate Q – Do you think there are blinkers and they trial well.We complete answer, sure it would prizemoney on offer. some trainers who don’t know spell them, they come back and help, but just helping a stayer how to prepare stayers ? trial well again so we go to the be competitive earlier in it’s Chris Waller races.They run poorly, so again career would be helpful and We should be promoting more A – John Messara we put them under more obviously breeders need black feature staying races for two- There are always trainers who pressure to perform and they type status to reward them.Keep year-olds, e.g. races over 1600 build their initial reputations usually respond with a third or promoting the stayers as I am to 1800m.This may help sure once people have some with stayers, just as there are fourth.By this time they can be owners and breeders get a luck and the experience with a trainers who succeed early in pushed too hard and the return earlier.Even non-black stayer they will always want their careers with two-year-olds, improvement in some horses type races could be one.The Melbourne Cup is a or fillies or sprinters.That never changes. programmed as well for two- great example of this as it is success often attracts owners year-olds over those longer basically the same owners and who want to race those kinds of Q – What is required to distances.It is not too bad at the trainers competing each year – horses and sometimes this can encourage owners to want to moment but younger horses they get hooked on it ! need a weight advantage similar limit a trainer’s experience with race more staying type horses to the weight-for-age scale. horses in other categories.That ?

Q&A cont.

that Australian owners and trainers are more concerned about reducing or eliminating the development costs for stayers and increasing their chances of having a major Cup runner sooner rather than later.I’d expect that trend to continue as long as prices for tried horses in Europe are comparable to buying a nice yearling here.

Wayne Bedggood The above questions are linked as people need to spend less on getting stayers to the races as they are able to in Europe, for War on Worms example.To buy an already tried and proven stayer from overseas is a great way to eliminate a lot of the risks and costs Rebel Raider wins the 2008 Victoria Derby. involved.As our trainers become more accustomed to the need for stayers and the methods required to get them over Q – Is there really a problem horse can stay after winning as a A – Chris Waller ground then we will see the with stamina in Australian juvenile it is then seen as a Never,A 1600 – 2000m. horse, stock coming from within pedigrees or has the recent bonus but more of an yes.

Chris Waller Perhaps we need to take a a quick return rather than I am not a breeding wizard but I longer term view to regain our waiting years to see if a horse think for the way we race we can win a race.Is there any Chris Waller perspective on this issue.Only need sharp pedigrees and I way they can be encouraged to nine winners of the last 42 I think it will be short-lived – would not be too concerned have more patience in this Melbourne Cups and 17 of the the value is not as good as it was about this. expensive game when some of last 42 Caulfield Cup winners three or four years ago and the richest Australian races were bred in Australia, so if we clearly greater demand is the are over longer distances ? reason for this.Also, we are now have a problem with top class John O’Shea competing for the same horses stamina in Australian pedigrees There is no doubting the with a lot more racing countries, it is a problem we’ve had for a Australian thoroughbred of A – Chris Waller some like Hong Kong and long time. today is lacking stamina in Singapore with no breeding pedigrees.Hopefully, that will Just by promoting the stayer industries. improve in the future. which I think has been Wayne Bedggood happening much better over the Certainly there are more people past few months and again by John O’Shea breeding and racing to win the Q – As a trainer, do you go to giving them more I’m sure it will continue Golden Slipper, Blue Diamond the sales specifically looking opportunities.Owners love especially if we get significant or Magic Millions than there are for horses to win over 2400m winning, trainers and breeders increases in prizemoney. for the Melbourne Cup.If the or longer ? are the same !
