BREEDING VENTURE NO 1
 Stable Connect are still processing the applications which closes in two weeks
time with just a few spots remaining.
Right from the beginning the managers have spoken about managing risk and
that you make your money when you buy not when you sell. Buy right and you
will always get value when you exit.
So is it really any surprise that the first two US mares have produced very
nice colt foals that will head to the Keeneland Weanling Sales this coming
November.

A SALIENT POINT FROM EACH COMMENTARY FROM READERS ON BREEDNET RE SERVICE FEES:
› Do stallion owners genuinely accept the proposition that commercial breeders using their stallions should reasonably expect to be able to sell the resultant offspring at a profit or at least break even? If the answer to that question is yes, then how do the owners of certain stallions justify their fees for the 2010 season?
