CHAYAN - record price explained For many, the $5.6m paid for Chayan by @CoolmoreAus from the @NewgateFarm consignment at last week’s @inglis_sales Chairman’s Sale is hard to fathom, so I thought I would explain why I had her valued at $4-5m before she walked in the ring: The key components to Chayan’s record price was: 1. her racing upside = age (2yo), limited starts (one prep & four starts) and her quality (@TRBHorseRacing had her Riesling win rated at 99.5 & she started favourite in the Slipper as a result. 🇦🇺 incredible prize-money levels a factor in here too 2. her pedigree = by Champion sire I Am Invincible from a Group winning daughter of another Champion sire Snitzel 3. her type, temperament & condition = Chayan is a quality commercial type, she has an incredibly relaxed demeanour, and @archibaldracing had her looking incredible - sound, lots of condition to work with racing forward, and a healthy coat to show she was converting her nutrition optimally Her final price was a combination of her residual value & her future racing value. Residual Value: $2.5m+ The sale of two Group winning I Am invincible fillies with similar profiles at last year’s Sale gave us a good guide to Chayan’s current residual value - Tiz Invincible & Estriella both brought $2.8m Racing Value: $2m+ @TRBHorseRacing assessment as an example had Chayan the top rated 2yo filly of the season 99.5, in line with the top 2yos fillies of last season: Marhoona 100 - won the Group 1 Galaxy this season as a 3yo & $800k prizemoney Tempted 98.4 - won $4.438m this season, winning the Group 1 Surround & placing in the $20m Everest. With the stamina in her dam side, and her strong finishes, running a strong 1200m-1600m is possible for Chayan. This sees her 3yo campaign alone (both Marhoona & Tempted will race on next season), open to Group 1 races such as: $1m Golden Rose $750k Flight Stakes $20m Everest $2m Coolmore Stud Stakes $3m MM Sunlight or Guineas $750k Surround $1m Australian Guineas Watch the incredible theatre of Chayan’s record sale here (and note her temperament) 🎥 @BreednetNews

Tim Wilson, Angus Taylor, Jane Hume, Michaelia Cash and others need to realise that being in opposition is not about getting on TV and constantly bagging the Government; it is about showing that you have the potential to be better its why the party is dying, as it has no vision

@NCW717 The areas that showed up on the scans?

@todd_blum7 What high risk areas?

Got an amazing record this horse, particularly since it was determined by a vet somewhere he was not sound enough to race🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@JoshFrydenberg why have you turned comments off on all of your ridiculous posts on X Josh?

@tedjjam That’s fair enough then! We know there’s a false value and a whole range of NSW races though don’t we?

@todd_blum7 just being Parochial, but wouldn't hurt to make it worth more than "the coast "

Prizemoney for Hollindale. 500k.. deserves more. 1.5

@Page1991Adam Very interesting point

Old mate Sportsbet saying Hawkesbury wasn't great (and it wasn't) but was defending the Caulfield track from William Reid Day when the inside lanes were much, much worse lol not a coincidence who is the major sponsor at Caulfield...

@tommorris32 What more does Racetrack Ralphy want the AFL to do? I’m so confused by his comment above

Andrew Dillon, who has been criticised for his lack of action calling out antisemitism, spent Sunday at an event commemorating the Holocaust in South Caulfield. Ajax - Australia's first & only fully Jewish footy club - hosted the annual ceremony. The day of remembrance saw Josh Frydenberg (who coaches a junior team), Gerard Healy & @stkildafc president Andrew Bassat joining the AFL boss. Dillon's attendance came two months after the pre-match Bondi tribute at the SCG, where references to antisemitism & the Jewish Community were cut. @7AFL @1116sen

@RacingPedigrees @ShonaDrechsler @Relly66 @_BendigoJC Very true.

@todd_blum7 @ShonaDrechsler @Relly66 @_BendigoJC and you are right, it is nowhere near the same - cheering a horse on with people you are at the races with; huddlng around a small screen does not enable that

Tip of the day.. BYO lunch to the Bendigo races.. @_BendigoJC

I understand that but it’s my view that it’s always been hard to watch races at another venue when on track unless your in a betting ring mostly. Especially when there’s no sound and your phone has a speaker. I take your point, it’s not good enough but why watch it with no sound when you could have?

@todd_blum7 @ShonaDrechsler @Relly66 @_BendigoJC why should I need to when I have made the effort to be at the track?

@RacingPedigrees @ShonaDrechsler @Relly66 @_BendigoJC I know it’s not the same but couldn’t you watch it on your phone?

@ShonaDrechsler @Relly66 @_BendigoJC Ended up in betting ring, vision but no sound

Less RNSW money on personal court costs and more on improving tracks perhaps PVL?

Private Harry standing for $11,000?

If I didn’t already believe Gareth hosting the leading Racing Radio Show in Vic wasn’t up to standard, he gets the GOAT Nick Luck on his program to show us the Gap

@artbywasted @dmacc_ms @YaThinkN @HonTonyAbbott Long bow

@todd_blum7 @dmacc_ms @YaThinkN @HonTonyAbbott Horse racing is THE most elitist sport of the british colonisers lol

Yeah well Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples were never asked if they minded being invaded by your pommy ancestors Tony, so shut the fuck up you grifter. Welcome To Country from First Nations people at events is more grace than you racists deserve.

@artbywasted @dmacc_ms @YaThinkN @HonTonyAbbott How are the two related?

@todd_blum7 @dmacc_ms @YaThinkN @HonTonyAbbott Racist coloniser? Says the “horse racing fan”? Lol

@crazyfrankiemad @YaThinkN @HonTonyAbbott In that case I wouldn’t call it occasionally either

@dmacc_ms @YaThinkN @HonTonyAbbott I’m asking what you implied?

@todd_blum7 @YaThinkN @HonTonyAbbott I'm asking you as you are the one to make the claim....

@dmacc_ms @YaThinkN @HonTonyAbbott Are you?

@todd_blum7 @YaThinkN @HonTonyAbbott So, if someone disagrees with you on this topic they are a racist coloniser?
