CEO REPORT WITH CAMERON CROUCHER

I have been exceptionally pleased with Eliza Park’s yearling sales results in 2010 and our clearance rate at the six major yearling sales has been very close to 100%.
Our first go at selling yearlings in New Zealand proved to be very fruitful and we look forward to taking another draft across the Tasman in 2011.
I hope all of our clients that sold through Eliza Park were happy with their results and the service and communications along the way helped them enjoy the selling process.
In 2011 we will be expanding our drafts for the major sales of Easter, Magic Millions and New Zealand and look forward to starting the process of building our drafts as early as possible.
Now, as our focus changes to the upcoming breeding season, we are very proud of the stallion roster, including new additions in Wanted, Sharkbite and Bushranger, and bookings are steadily rolling in.
Eliza Park’s Racing Division continues to expand and we are seeing some excellent results on the racetrack from horses broken in and pre-trained at our Kerrie property.
For the first time we have been active in purchasing yearlings at the sales for the purpose of breaking in and educating these youngsters for the Ready to Run Sales, or the lucrative Asian market which we hope will be a profitable venture later in the year.
Within the next week, clients will be receiving a copy of our 2010 stallion brochure with details on all stallions, farm services, trading terms and personnel. Our team consists of some very experienced and competent staff, all charged with the common goal of delivering exceptional, first class standards to our clients.
Should any clients need assistance with their breeding and mating plans, please do not hesitate to contact a member of our bloodstock team and they will be only too happy to assist.
