There is no doubt the business of thoroughbred breeding is cyclical. As an example take the stud-related events of the last week for Darley in Australia.

马来西亚知名企业家、在澳洲以马主身份被广大马迷熟知的拿督陈振南离世，享年93岁。拿督陈振南与已故的“杯王”练马师巴特·卡明斯生前是挚友，后者的12个墨尔本杯冠军中，有4个是拿他名下的赛驹赢的。除墨尔本杯外，他名下的赛驹还赢过觉士盾、考菲尔德杯以及唐卡斯特英里赛等很多澳洲的顶级大赛。

已退休骑师格雷格·霍尔未能登顶过考菲尔德杯赛，职业生涯始终抱憾，但昨日其子尼克驾驭「杰米卡」在该赛中精彩胜出，二次捧回该赛桂冠。
