Predatory Pricer passes away 11 Nov 2010
By Alex Steedman - racingandsports.com.au


Group 2 winner and stallion prospect Predatory Pricer has passed away with acute colitis the likely cause of death.

The half brother to Takeover Target was found dead at his agistment property on Wednesday morning where it was believed the five-year-old succumbed to acute colitis, a condition which causes inflammation of a horses colon.

Retired in September after a string of injuries hampered his racing career over the past year, misfortune has again struck Predatory Pricer who was expected to commence as a stallion next spring.

A half brother to multiple Group 1 winning sprinter Takeover Target and also a multiple stakes winner in his own right, Predatory Pricer was likely to be well received at stud.

Injury setbacks regularly hampered the latter stages of Predatory Pricer's racing career with the son of Street Cry having just one more race start since he pulled up lame with an offside fore tendon problem after running 12th as favourite in the 2009 Group 1 Caulfield Cup (2400m).

The tendon issue ruled Predatory Pricer out of the 2010 autumn and was transferred from Paul Murray to Mick Price during his injury enforced layoff.

A dual Group-winner and Group 1 placed on four occasions, Predatory Pricer's most notable race victory came in the Group 2 J.J Liston Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield last year when he beat the likes of Group 1 winners Whobegotyou, Typhoon Tracy and Heart Of Dreams.

The Street Cry entire returned to racing this Spring first up in the J.J Liston Stakes and finished second behind Shoot Out in his bid for back to back successes in the event.

It was to be Predatory Pricer's only start under the care of Price as a staph infection to the five-year-olds hock/tendon region ruled him out of the Spring. His retirement was announced due to the setback in the following weeks with a view to him commencing as a stallion in spring 2011.

Predatory Pricer's other Group success came during his three-year-old season when he won the Group 3 Gloaming Stakes (1800m) at Randwick while still under the care of Paul Murray.

Predatory Pricer had 18 career starts where he recorded four wins and six minor placings. All but two of his starts were in Group company. His prizemoney earnings exceeded $800,000.

Hey I see Mustard is entered again...

How many starts does he have now? Anyone know offhand?

Don't have pp's yet but was wondering.

Great old guy.

Arletta 11-17-2010 10:11 PM

There is a horse named Mustard? :eek:

my miss storm cat 11-17-2010 10:13 PM

Yeah and he's 13 or so.

The old guy isn't done yet!

Poor thing.. I will look him up and try to see how he does..

my miss storm cat 11-17-2010 10:29 PM

These old guys worry me too, I know what you mean, but I saw him win one over the summer...

Can't remember if it was a stakes race or what, only that Miss Independent was in the field and he looked so good out there... I was surprised. Happily surprised.

I wonder what his story is... if he had been retired and was brought back or what...

If anyone knows, enlighten us.

Good luck to him!

Now if you want to worry about a horse join us on the NZ thread.

There's a warhorse, fantastic wonderful beloved old guy, Sir Slick.

Ed and I fret and worry about him all the time. Feel free to join us.

He's a national treasure but his trainer is kind of an imbecile.

They should hand him over to ed... he'd make the right decisions!

Dances On Waves wins Villiers Stakes 18 Dec 2010

By Alex Steedman - racingandsports.com.au

Stable favourite Dances On Waves with the assistance of jockey Brenton Avdulla has overcome an outside gate to record a maiden stakes-level success with victory in the $175,000 Group 2 Villiers Stakes (1600m) at Randwick.

With no horse having won the Villiers Stakes from a barrier wider than 9 since the John O’Shea-trained On A High (18) in 2003, it appeared Dances On Waves had it all against her as she lined up for a first stakes level tilt at Randwick this afternoon.

Previously unbeaten this campaign after two starts, Brenton Avdulla and the mare plotted a successful path around Randwick from their wide barrier (16) and fought out a slogging finish with Mentality to win the Group 2 Villiers Stakes (1600m) by a head.

The Hawkes-trained Mentality was gallant for second while Snow Alert ran on well at his return to racing in Sydney and finished a three-quarter length third.

Anthony Cummings’ latest acquisition and heavily backed Rhythm Of Dance sat on the speed during the run however tired and was swamped over the concluding stages to finish midfield.

Today’s winning performance by Dances On Waves was a special victory for those involved with the mare who was away from racing for over a year after she contracted pneumonia and subsequently the debilitating condition scours in April 2009.

The mares tail was lost during the illness which is a constant reminder of what she overcame before her successful return to racing.

“She is going terrific,” Ryan said

“It has been well documented the problems she has had and I didn’t think when she started racing this time she would win a Villiers at her third run back but she has just kept going forward, forward and forward.

“It is a fairytale really. It is great for the owners and is great for the horse.”

“I’ve loved today. I really have a lot of faith in the mare and am just glad she has been able to come back from where she was and win a good race.

“The owners talked me into running her [in the Villiers] on Monday because I wanted to go to the other race."

Dances On Waves has now recorded five wins from 10 career starts with her prizemoney earnings now well clear of $200,000.

“She has gotten into this with 52kg and has had ten runs in her life,” Ryan said.

“Her dry track form is exceptional. She has won five and ran second in the other one out of six starts on dry tracks.”

Ryan was also full of praise for young jockey Brenton Avdulla who helped the five-year-old Anabaa mare successfully negotiate barrier 16.

“It was amazing,” Ryan said.

“It is amazing when a kid is in form, they’re in form. I’ve said for a long time this kid is not far behind the better ones here in Sydney and he is going the right way.”

It is Avdulla’s third win aboard Dances On Waves from as many starts.

Today’s Villiers Stakes triumph was in stark contrast to the previous successes the pair had enjoyed where they jumped from the inside gate on both occasions.

While Avdulla had the mare positioned midfield and 3 deep during the run in this afternoon's $175,000 feature event, he was able to find cover from the wide barrier.

Dances On Waves loomed in the early part of the straight before drawing level with Mentality within the final furlong.

An enthralling finish then ensued with Dances On Waves and Mentality going stride for stride before the Gerald Ryan-trained mare edged clear over the concluding stages.

“I had no idea from 17,” Avdulla said.

“The way things worked out, you wish you could draw 17 and end up like that all of the time.

“I saw a gap in between them midfield and I thought if I don’t go now I’ll never get in. I quickly darted in and was able to get three off and have a bit of cover. I had Mentality in front of me so a had a good one to follow. I was fairly comfortable a long way out.

“Coming to the turn I was pretty confident and when I let her down she got into a duel with Mentality but she came off best with no weight.

“I probably hit the front a bit too soon but to her credit she is a class act and kept on going.

“I have always had a lot of time for her, Gerald and her owners have always had a lot of time for her.”

Leading Studs Team Up For Flood Relief
Wednesday, 12 January 2011 15:11

Four of Australia's leading studs have donated stallion nominations for the 2011 breeding season to aid victims of the Queensland Flood Disaster.

The four nominations will be auctioned on the evening of Saturday 15th January prior to the fourth session of the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale.

The stallion nominations which have been generously donated are:

•Al Maher (Danehill-Show Dancing) - Emirates Park
•Flying Spur (Danehill-Rolls) - Arrowfield Stud
•High Chaparral (Sadler's Wells-Kasora) - Coolmore Stud
•Lonhro (Octagonal-Shadea) - Darley
The quartet of leading stallions stood the most recent season at a combined total of almost $260,000.

Tom Magnier from Coolmore said: "We have all been deeply saddened by the loss of life and property in so many parts of Queensland. A huge number of people in rural and urban Queensland are suffering through the most appalling and frightening set of circumstances due to the floods and many people now find themselves desperately in need of support.

The Thoroughbred breeding and racing community has a strong tradition of rallying in times of crisis and we are in a position to be able to support those many people suffering in these times. We urge people to attend the auction and bid."

Magic Millions themselves will be accepting donations at the sales and at the races which will also be donated to the Premiers Flood Relief Appeal.
