NZ import purchased by VIP
Stable
I am not exaggerating one bit when I
tell you I have looked at EVERY racing program in the US this
month in search of a decent horse to claim or buy - and
NOTHING!!!! I even looked at the $1,000 claimers in Michigan –
yes $1 grand claimers. With the available horses so
ridiculously thin, it is obviously time to head back to New
Zealand for our next big horse!
Our
agent down under has strongly recommended and we have purchased
LIVE BASICALLY. He is a 5 year old gelding (turning 6 New
Year's Day) by LIVE OR DIE with a career record of 25-4-3-2
$31,098. He is rapidly improving with 2 wins in his last 3
starts, including an impressive 2 length win on Dec 28th
- check out the video below.
LIVE BASICALLY comes from a
solid family. His Sire LIVE OR DIE leads all NZ pacing
stallions in both wins and purse earnings this year and lead in
both categories last season as well! He has also sired many
impressive imports to the US like EWIE DUNCAN N ($239,523
1:49.0), MIRACLE MAN N ($312,960 1:50), and an entire heard of
other solid performers.
There are solid results on his dam's
side as well. Full brother BOLD CRUISER (53-7-10-6
$53,178) was a very successfull export to Australia. The
2nd dam, PORT MEDLEY produced 6 sub 2:00 winners including
multiple stakes winner LIVELY MEDLEY (34-20-2-2 $142,286) who
won 15 straight races in Australia (also sired by LIVE OR DIE,
so a 3/4 brother to our horse).
Here's how our
agent describes LIVE BASICALLY:
“Live
Basically is a smart horse, He
has won on all size tracks and while we don’t have one mile
tracks -- except on the grass -- he is good enough to be at the
Meadowlands. This horse is DEFINITELY worth the money and I can
see him racing on for several years in the US. He is a tough
horse! Better than Mr. Chin - a tougher horse. LB would be
between JJ Thomas N and Nicky Hanover N -- not quite as good as
Nicky Hanover who I rate very highly.
We will follow the same
path with LIVE BASICALLY as our other successful imports - Greg
Trotto will get him acclimated, trained down, and an easy race
or two. We'll then assess the best racing opportunities
for him and place him accordingly. With the ability to get
around any size track, we can put him wherever the best racing
opportunities are!
