I wanted to make mention of the Tara Madgwick edited "BreedNet" which appears weekly (as part of the RaceNet series of online publications). Besides being a damn good read it is also full of all manner of interesting bits and pieces if you are a researcher/writer/enthusiast (or just a racing 'anorak' as a friend quipped the other day!)

Breednet has recently added "Vendor Sort" to its SALE MAIL.

As the 24/1/06 intro. stated:

"[A] search facility [has been] added to sort the Sale Mail by vendor and sire, giving breeders immediate access to see what runners they have engaged at any given meeting.

For example, if you were Chloe Latif of Kulani Park, you could have had a quick flick through the Sale Mail yesterday and discovered that the Aristotle (IRE) colt that you pin-hooked for $9,000 at the 2004 Inglis June Weanling Sale and then re-sold for $50,000 at the 2005 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale was having his first start at Sale yesterday.

Then, because he was such a great sort and you’d liked him so much you could have hot-footed to the local TAB and thrown a couple of bucks on your former charge, now named Its Logic.

[...]

Go to Sale Mail and click on the meeting you wish to see and then click on the sort option to bring up the horses in alphabetical order by vendor or sire.
