The Breeding Bug

Well, I've spent a really interesting couple of days following bloodstock agent Michael Wallace as he goes about his profession at the National Weanling, Broodmare and Mixed Sale.

You can read about my experience in next months NZ Thoroughbred.

And yes I did fall for a mare whom I m going to bid for on Wednesday. I've managed to persuade a couple of mates to come in with me and if we pick her up within budget she'll more than likely visit Towkay in the spring.

You wouldn't be able to buy a top of the range mountain bike with our budget but it's still ruddy exciting as the hours tick before she goes through the ring.
