The SBSR breeder Michelle Caig, based in Winton, has been in the standard bred industry for thirty years and was initially introduced into the annual annual turnover by fishing horses for the overdue Paul Browman.
The first mare Michelle ever bought was Mitquila and her first foal custody (Courage Under Fire) was her first sales year 2005 and was bought by Tim Butt for $ 30,000.
Many of their successes in sales were with years of Sundon Trotting mare Sun Mist, a daughter of Champion Trotting Mare Merinai.
Michelle has been on her Price Road property for over twenty years, where she runs her mares and prepares her years.
Her biggest seller was Leaf Stride (Love You -Sun Mist), which was sold at the NZB Standardbred sales 2019 for 90,000 US dollars.
Caig is back this year and has two years to the auction on Tuesday.
The first is Lot 211, a bold eagle holder from you like the wind, a daughter of Sun Mist.
“He is a pretty, moving sporty stallion foal, which is a spitting picture of Bold Eagle. It is very effortless on his feet and only seems to float over the floor. I was pretty pleased how the wind left a colt because there are only six (Yearling Colts from Bold Eagle) in the country and only two on sale, ”she said.
According to Caig, the Bold Eagle Colt is very stamped in Europe.
“When the veterinarians came to make his IgG, they commented on how the French stallions stamp their foals. I have it and one of Volstead and there is something about horses with French blood that is crossed with American blood. “
Her second offer – Lot 295 – is a majestic son from the City Lane named Majestic Lane. She is half a sister of group 1, which Trotter wins our Renezmae and fourteen profits Trotter Saratoga.
“She has great interest today (SBSR tour). City Lane, apart from Renezmae and Saratoga, was not very lucky as a brood mark, but it is a great family that returns to the three ten and Habti family. “
To ensure that she does not lose the bloodlines, Caig has the two older sisters from Majestic Lane, a three -year Volstead Stutfalen and a four -year mare that the Hill is four -year -old.
“With Lindy Lane in family trees, this family would be a great cross with Orlando Vici (only believe) bloodlines. I am a huge fan of French bloodlines. “
Caig says the sport is in good condition, it is positive about its future and likes what the up-to-date CEO Brad Steele does.
“I am a Brad Steele fan. He is open and comes down to tell us what he is trying to do about the money and missions. It feels much more positive anyway than in the past ten years. He is thrilled and brought up-to-date people into it. As I told him, they have to be positive. “
