Tara Talks Racing on Breednet

The Golden Rule, it was there for everybody to see on the weekend. Also the Golden Rose. The Everest. The Epsom. Racing in China - where winners don't count. And of course a bit on Sheza Alibi, giving hope to everyone with the racing dream. What we took from last weekend's racing. A brief look at what's coming this week, and importantly, are there more golden rule horses in the wings?

With spring hotting up Group One racing has started but it's still really only the build up. We go through who we think is building up the best as the proper targets get closer. Is there any hope for any joy for anybody who's not part of Camp Ka Ying in the Everest? And a Tara family favourite is sailing off into the sunset. Short and sharp this week but plenty to keep us interested.

We welcome Joe O'Neill from Prime Thoroughbreds. Joe's been syndicating horses successfully for nearly 30 years with current mares Cavalry Girl and Shadhaver flying the flag brilliantly. It's a wide ranging and chat about his selection processes, pedigrees, his thoughts on two-year-old and three-year-old racing and the changes his seen and the challenges ahead for racing. And of course we get in to the feature racing. The brilliant ones and the plain ones from the weekend. Tara much more forgiving than Clocker on some of them. He's got the pen out already! And the Hunter Valley stud parades - we take a quick fire look through the first season horses standing this year.

Tara’s back from a fun filled Victorian stud tour which started with a speeding ticket but got much better - we attempt to condense 4 days into 10 minutes. Not only the eye-catching stallions but who makes the gun Espresso Martini, where to get the best feed in Yass and the biggest red flag for a bad driver that exists! Also the spring 3YO’s kicked off last week - we have our opinions of where that landed. And this weekend is all about Group One Winx Stakes – a rating that is up for question but it’s going to be good. We hope you enjoy.

We’re back for spring! A look at the early season barrier trials; the big bangers, the good, the queries, the not so obvious potential topliners. Winter horses to follow – is there another Half Yours? And from the same camp? We talke Everest hopefuls outside the obvious. The Cox Plate and how to find a winner off the noms. Sire tables. Stud tours. Missile Stakes hopes. And the colour yellow – where is the limit? Also the rambling other stuff – it's great to be back and in to another spring! We hope you enjoy.
