IN THE HORSE BUSINESS EVERY CLOUD HAS A SILVER LINING As storm clouds of dire market forecasts for upcoming auctions swirled about them, Australian breeders have made their annual pilgrimage to Hunter Valley studs and Victoria's breeding farms to meet the new boys--the 2012 intake of shuttle and colonial-bred stallions available for their first use in the coming season. Aware that mare numbers have halved and new foals will barely reach 15,000 this year--the lowest since 1979--Thoroughbred breeders I met again demonstrated in conversation their hardiness and ability to roll with the punches in the face of bad news. Whilst results from American and European sales bounce around the bottom, a long way from the halcyon days of 2008, forecasting here is that the traditional January--April sales will be tough on the seller with the resilient Australian economy facing the cold realities that have chilled the rest of the world for the past five years. I talked with optimists saying that yearling sales defy the norm, that there is a cheerful bunch of buyers or the odd billionaire who appear each year, apparently unaffected by the normal business cycle. While I agree this has been true in the past, it is hard to see another white knight like Nathan Tinkler, investor of A$300 million in bloodstock over the past five years, appearing on the horizon in the current economic climate. In fact Tinkler's travails with his coal mining ventures and share plays feeling the backwash of China's slowing economy has focused the nation's press on his Patinack Farm's October downsizing of 350 horses as signs his status as Australia's richest man under 40 is about to unravel. The fact his horses cost him A$500,000 a week has the nation aghast, and the serious accusation he has not paid legally required super-annuation entitlements to his racing and breeding staff since last November is stark evidence there are giant cracks in the Tinkler Thoroughbred edifice. Reading these negative headlines over recent weeks is cold comfort to the Thoroughbred world and Tinkler's unreserved sale on the Gold Coast will be a litmus test of the health of our industry and a precursor to the coming yearling sales. Or maybe not.

Cont. p9

Cont. from p8 Without diminishing the reverberations if Tinkler crashes, this is a resilient business. It has seen rich men come and go (often men from the mining industry like the Foyster family, huge owners in the 70s who have disappeared). It has proved time and time again that it is bigger than the individual and no one dominates it. And that was the point made forcefully during the breeder invasion of the Hunter. Tinkler, hailed as a savior when he first emerged, was discussed, but his rise and predicted fall was not an obsessional topic. Nor was the far more important decision that is due any day, the handing down in Sydney of Justice Alan Robertson's view on the legality or otherwise of artificial breeding that has the potential to change the Thoroughbred business forever. Opposed by the breeding establishment worldwide the application to allow AI in ThoroughbredsB-begun exactly one year ago--has been pursued under anti-trust/restrictive trade law by disaffected breeder, former Sydney bookmaker Bruce McHugh. McHugh's passion is driven by anger that his application some years ago to artificially inseminate horses on his own property was in his view dismissed out of hand and without discussion by the stud book and racing officials. His personally financed A$3-million case has shaken the Australian industry, cost it A$7-million in legal fees and rocked the large stallion farms to the core--yet as a topic of discussion it is under the radar. What horsemen discuss when they get together is horses--and may it always be the case. While the studs, apart from Sheikh Mohammed's Darley operation, noticeably cut back on the largesse in hospitality when entertaining the visiting breeders, the topic around most dinner tables or bars was what was the best value; stallions who would give the greatest return in 26 months time when the progeny is sold. Indeed, that is a discussion for the ages, but more poignant in a season where the stud's use the witty slogan >austerity is the new extravagance!' Whether there is truth to their claim that stallion fees are now more in line with expected returns will again be told a couple of years down the track. But while the pressure is on to make choices, the breeders are searching for immediate answers. Invariably the concept of shuttle stallions came up. While most think the shuttle business has been a failure, defenders of the faith utter one word--Danehill. While his breed-changing influence in both hemispheres is unchallenged, it is remembered that even Danehill was similar to a lot of very fine horses; at first, at least, he worked better in one hemisphere than the other. Of course, he caught up, but in his initial years his Australian race success was far greater than up north. And in more recent times the success of More Than Ready Down Under has confounded the critics with his influence greater here than in the U.S. This son of Southern Halo further confounds the mold by being a hit here, yet he raced on dirt, seen as the downfall of most imported U.S. sires.

P TDN HEADLINE NEWS • 9/6/12 • PAGE 10 of 12 • thoroughbreddailynews.com

These discussions, particularly late at night, throw up more questions than answers, but one of the reasons given for More Than Ready's success here is that he WRITERS UP nicks well with Danehill mares.
