will this lift our NZ Bred trotters to new speed levels
...by the time they are 8yos.
The French sires did produce some ok pacers in Australia. Lets hope they can pass on some speed and the ability to trot in NZ.
I hope so too - we will try a couple of them but watching some races some are not as smooth gaited as US trotters. Saw on You Tube the stallion currently standing and still racing in France (Sam Bourbon) gallop when taking the lead in a lead up race to the Prix d Amerique - You Tube is just brilliant for watching races so soon after they are held.
Further debate of european trotters
so what about the like of Revenue S I watched videos of him and his dam race and they were both tough and fast
also 2yo trotters that can trot all the way are a rarity. I had the pleasure of breeding one that did TK Victor 2002 NZ 2yo Trotter of the Year and I am breeding from his mother and sister at present one to a son of Andover Hall and the other to son of Coktail Jet
except for that day the false start upset your boy and we beat you. lol
which andover hall son did you go to?
we dont buy at the sales any more -leasing off the Grices mainly but bred a Sundon 2yo colt from my Holdonmyheart mare. Like all he was looking good but don't they all.
Talked to Alan Clark at Omakau yesterday and he said Zoogin was a crazy stirred up Sundon - why then is he racing him and letting him walk home in a 2600m mobile already.
Our girl trotted all the way and still beaten a long way in to 4th. the winner was a real nice Sundon. we would just love to make the Oaks.
Haven't watched him race - there are some real nice stallions here that have great maternal lines - I put Quite Easy and Bacardi Lindy in those categories but of course I have to declare my involvement with Michael House and Roydon LodgeOriginally Posted by TREBOR54
I like Revenue a lot and am sending TK Rocket a 1/2 sistre by Above the Stars to TK Victor to him next year. The Andover Hall stallion was Monkey Bones
Is there many Holdonmyheart mares about being bred was he bred to a lot in NZ. Did we miss the boat in getting as much Valley Victory blood into the system early, at the time he raced he was cutting edge in this part of the world
