MIKE de Kock believes that the rivalry between two bloodstock giants could have harmful repercussions for the South African racing industry. He gets a lot of things off his chest in this, his latest blog, addressed to whomever carries the interest of the sport at heart.
Mike writes:
A few weeks ago it was almost inconceivable that South Africa’s two leading bloodstock sales companies would go head-to-head with a pair of Ready To Run Sales staged on the same weekend, in the same city. Now that it’s over and we’ve caught some breath, there is a lot to reflect upon.
The auctions of both the Cape Thoroughbred Sales Company (CTS) and the TBA’s BloodStock SA (BSA) were successfully concluded despite various misgivings, but there is still cause for concern. If they want to ensure similarly pleasing results in time to come, the leaders of both parties will have to find a way of co-existing within certain parameters.

Do you really think he cares? MDK ignores sales and finds the ones ready to win. I have no problem with this by the way
I didn't choose the #puntlife, the #puntlife chose me!

Of course he cares....when you king of the heap you want it to be at least a decent heap....and not a sh1t heap....despite what people may think Mike gets horses off the sales too.....he may not be around to put up a hand.....but there is a team in place doing his bidding... :dry:
I am also surprised that the recent sales house furor did not totally put a dent in this end of the industry and it was more out of curiosity that both events were well attended.....lets hope it stays this way.....
