    Apologies if I misled anyone by suggesting that siring the winners (and most of the placegetters) of all 13 Gold Series Sires Stakes races is an incredible achievement. Anywhere.
    It is nothing really - happens all the time.
    Viv might be able to tell us about some of the other occasions when it has happened in the past.

    If you were to stand Sportswriter in South Australia you would get the same result from standing him in Canada.
    Complete domination of a weak sires stakes programme.
    If people don't realise how weak Canada has become then yes you are misleading them.
    As I have said several times already, until they compete against the best it is impossible to draw any conclusions about how good the Sportswriters are.

    If Mach Three, Camluck, Shadow Play, Jereme's Jet, Artistic Fella and Badlands Hanover also stood in South Australia, I would bet against Meadow Skipper siring 13 out of 13 sires stakes winners.

    What about him standing with any of the following; Art Major - American Ideal - Bettors Delight - Rocknroll Heaven - Well Said - Somebeachsomewhere - Western Ideal
    to mention just a few.
    In a different league to whats standing in Canada.
    When the Sportswriters can compete with those stallions then he has made it.
    That meeting is going to happen in the not to distant future so all the questions will be answered.
    He could be the real deal but we won't know until the classics are run.
    And Trev if you want to have a look at what a dominant first season sire looks like in a competitive state, check out the 2012 Pennsylvania Sires Stakes program.

    I am no genius breeder, but I remember when the first Fake Left crop were dominating the 2YO races in queensland and one of my friends in the game stated how well Fake Left was going, I also remember how I flippantly dismissed the results as nothing much as it was only Queensland..............how wrong I was, Fake Left turned out to be the best sire in Australia, so far in my lifetime, as Globe Derby was gone when I was born in 1958.

    I'm not saying Sportswriter is the next Fake Left or Globe Derby, just saying better to let the marbles roll before you make a goose of yourself as I did about Fake Left all those years ago.

    cheers,
    Dan

    Hi Dan,
    I'm not saying Sportswriter is the next Fake Left either. I was merely applauding the outstanding result that he has achieved to date in Ontario this year. Not everyone it seems is prepared to acknowledge his absolute domination of the sires stakes as being anything special.

    A long, long time ago
    It was a Positive post Trev and definitely of interest. Overall our board needs more positive. Not referring to this forum so much but our Aussie board which has a bit of a negative flavour running. Apologies by the way if my Facepalm Horse Names thread seems negative but it is meant to be a bit of fun and to compliment the Brilliant Names thread

    Thumbs up Rock N Roll Heaven on his way-NYSS @ Yonkers

    4 divisions of the $200,200 Clyde Hirt...2 winners incl a quinella plus a 2nd & 3rd in a further div. Filly from Sayo Hanover (winner 1st div.) looks extremely talented.
