John Messara at it again – let’s see if he gets his own way again!!??

Re: Victorians want to ban NSW yearlings from sale

You may recall that when EI struck and the country was in TOTAL Lockdown John Messara (also the The chairman of Thoroughbred Breeders Australia) was able to get a permit to move 46-odd Broodmares on ‘welfare grounds’. It would appear that John Messarra is ‘At It Again! From the report on this blog ‘Victorians want to ban NSW yearlings from sale’ Where it states:

ARROWFIELD Stud boss John Messara is annoyed with weekend reports that have called for NSW yearlings to be banned from crossing the Victorian border and being sold at the Inglis Premier Sale in March. The chairman of Thoroughbred Breeders Australia (Which is also John Messara) will meet with other breeders and Racing NSW today to address the issue of sales and horse movement. Messara said only vaccinated horses would be allowed to travel interstate. He added a decision needed to be made quickly given the time required to print catalogues and properly inform buyers.

I went to the William Inglis Website (www.inglis.com.au/bloodstock.php) and low-and-behold what do I find?
William Inglis Yearling sales, 2006 Australian Easter Yearling Sale Photo Gallery

L –R (John Messara – Allan Jones & John Leaver) - are they laughing all the way to the bank?

THEN THERE’S THE SALE HIGHLIGHTS – REDOUTE’S CHOICE IS OWNED BY JOHN MESSARA & ALLAN JONES! NO WONDER THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THEIR YOUNGSTERS AT AT THIS SALE!!!!
$1.2million colt Redoute's Choice x Our Side Show
$2.3million colt Redoute's Choice x Exact
$2million colt Redoute's Choice x Urge To Merge
Saletopper $3million colt Redoute's Choice x Deja Slew (261)
The first million-dollar yearling $1.6million colt Redoute's Choice x Singles Bar

STAND YOUR GROUND VIC’S – we have been suffering the effects of EI in NSW, you don’t want it in Victoria, and John Messara obviously knows so much about EI – we all know a vaccinated horse can still be a carrier!

Maureen, NSW.

Heres hoping that the VIC GOV & DPI have more morals than our NSW departments. Unfortunately money talks and I'm sure he'll be flashing his cheque book around, be interesting to see, but I guess the VIC government doesn't stand to make millions out of a horse sale, unlike the spring racing carnival so you never know your luck.
Be nice to see him squirm though. Maybe he'll get a small taste of what it's like for the other 80% of us who's whole worlds have been turned upside down.
Your not the ONLY one with yearlings to sell John, frustrating doesn't begin to cover how we're feeling.

hi i've got an idea. we all use techonolgy every day, in events where talking on the phone is not enough, and people want to actually see you. why not use the sattalite hook up. bit like web cam. theyt can then show the yrarlings using this and people round the world can view them, they can what all of use other horse people do and do a video and show the horses, there's way round in getting them in to the sale with out leaving the farm. they just need to think of them. how do people look at our horses when we're over the other side of the state?? video. we have to it this way, there's the net, etc so there's lots of options out there. the sale organisers just have to approve it all, why not then things can go ahead on plan.
