Yep, September 30. NRL snoozefest. I must buy Rob a beer for providing salvation.
The Always A Virgin results continue to roll in. Today he sired the winners of both $200k Indiana Sires Stakes finals, and the 2nd placegetter in the colts division.
He has 9 in sub 1:55 and total earnings to date of $725k.
Greg, you started this thread looking for stallion selection advice. Have you made a decision.
Yes today for Karloo Nicky . I decided to go to Tell All at this stage but myself and Kyle (son ) will make a final decision the end of Oct after the US season has gone for longer as Always a Virgin is doing such a great job over there. I will go to Pepper Tree and have a look at him and his yearling's as well before i make a final decision.We swayed to Tell All because of the fact i would have 3 x crosses of Panorama's maternal family which i believe to be one of the most consistent producing line's going around. As for Danerky still undecided but are contemplating Blissfull Hall or Always A Virgin .The Cam Fella line crosses well with her family and for Virgin being by Western Ideal the family has never been to a sire of the Western Hanover line before i also like Leah Almahurst as a broodmare . Ideally i should go to American Ideal and get both Leah Almahurst and 3 Diamonds in the family and pray for a filly to keep the family going strong.
I might reach out for some help here also. I will be breeding a mare this year that I have no knowledge of its breeding whatsoever however she could run. Ran in a ladyship mile and is a striking chestnut of average size. Had plenty of speed. I just have absolutely no idea what may suit her bloodlines. Her name is Famegas Sister. Has never been bred to a comercial stallion and I have a small budget. Any advice would be appreciated. When you look at the breeding you will understand the interesting position.
She's WIDE OPEN to which ever way you want to jump Grant. Wide open, like Sydney Heads.
Pick a good sized, good gaited horse and fire away.
Sort of thought as much. Did race and beat Sokyola, Mother Courage, Her Sparky Self and a few handy ones. Certainly exceeded all predecessors on both sides!!
As pedigrees go, they don't come any more obscure than that.
Interesting to see Sally Boy in the pedigree. The first mare we ever owned was by Sally Boy. That was back in 1968.
You're an even older old bastard than I thought Trev. :rolleyes: That was the year I was foaled.
