Bureaucracy

"NSW Three-Year-Old of the Year - Stunning in both performance and appearance" Harry Lawton

In only 12 starts, Bureaucracy (NZ) quickly established himself as one of the top sprinter-milers of his generation, winning 5 races including the Group 1 STC George Ryder Stakes (1500m), Group 2 VRC Ascot Vale Stakes (1200m) and Group 3 AJC Roman Consul Stakes (1200m) and finishing second in the Group 1 VATC Futurity Stakes (1400m), Group 1 VRC Lightning Stakes (1000m), Group 2 MVRC Bill Stutt Stakes (1600m), Group 3 AJC Up and Coming Stakes (1200m) and Group 3 AJC Royal Sovereign Stakes (1200m). With this outstanding win in the George Ryder, it was no wonder he was crowned Champion Middle Distance 3-Y-O for 1990-1991.

Forced into early retirement because due to a suspensory ligament injury, Bureaucracy (NZ) carried that form into the breeding barn, siring such notable Group performers as Court's In Session, Mr Bureaucrat, Regulations, Desk Top  Lover, Normal Practice, Noircir. Court's In Session successful in the George Ryder Stakes at Rosehill, deservedly adding an elusive Group 1 to his impressive record. After beating one of Australasia's best performers and multiple Group 1 winner in Grand Armee in the AJC Expressway Stakes at Group 2 Level, then running close 2nd's to the same galloper at his next 2 starts, Court's in Session came back from a very short let up to beat subsequent Group 1 Doncaster Handicap winner and stable mate, Patezza After being taken on in the lead, Court's In Session held on well to beat all bar Patezza, reversing the placing of the George Ryder the start before.

Court's In Session went on to win 14 races in total, amassing over $1.4 million in prize money, before an injury forced the galloper to retire. Living out his days on his owners property, Court's In Session is Bureaucracy's highest stakes earner to date.

Successfully syndicated by the 'father' of syndication in Australia, Harry Lawton. Harry had a high opinion of the colt, outlaying NZD $27,000 at the New Zealand sales. Trained initially by Neville Begg and then by Jack Denham, when Neville went to Hong Kong to continue his training and ridden by some of the great jockeys of years gone by, including Mick Dittman, Ken Russell and Ron Quinton. Mick had a very high opinion of Bureaucracy (NZ), saying he was a "magic horse to ride, you could put him anywhere in a race...really lovely horse...couldn't recommend him highly enough."
