It makes a lot of sense that he might go to stud in New Zealand; unlike Australia and the United States, they do not limit the number of mares (i.e. Sweet Lou has serviced as many as 250+ in a year).  So, the economics might be something like this (assuming they don't race him any more): for the first three years, until it is really known if he is a top producer, he can do 250 mares/year at e.g. $7,000, which is $1.75mm/year for the 3 years which will "net" return their purchase money.  If he is successful they might raise the free and have many years of a high ROI; if he flops, they have recouped their money.

Brett is really lucky that could have been so much worse for him

Then Bartlett, who replaced Chisholm, drives a 31-1 to a win up the rail.

Joe Bongiorno, Anibal Borjas, Brett Beckwith and Brad Chislom are all off the rest of their drives.

All 4 drivers were unseated, It looked like Chisholm too the worst of it, he was kind of launched thru the air.
