Washington VC stands at Bryleigh Stud in NZ but his semen has never been made available to Australian breeders as far as I am aware.
I can't seem to find any information on Washington VC - his service fee, his family etc beyond that he stands at Bryleigh Stud but I can't find any information on that either. Can anyone direct me?

They aren't flukes Katie. This is one of the greatest families in the stud book going back to Romola Hanover in the 1960's and including champions like Romeo Hanover, Romulus Hanover, Romalie Hanover through to the more modern day stars like Art Major, Real Artist, Worldly Beauty and Captaintreacherous. Look it up on Classic Families

I love her Katie - she is a stunner

The thing is, if you look at its immediate family (dam, granddam, great granddam) there aren't a whole lot of BIG winners. I liked Rock N Roll Heaven because he was a great horse, and his mum was a great horse, he has great siblings, his granddam threw great horses, and the great granddam had a lot of big winners. CaptainTreach has a couple of superstars... but immediately that's it. So I'd like to see how his first foals race before I'd send a mare to him (not that I have mares )
Breeding is interesting though because I don't know much at all about classic families. I'd be interested to learn more for sure!
Edit: I meant to reply to eliteblood but it didnt' work for some reason.
ClassicFamilies is better than a library full of harness books Katie
You seem to be missing something when you mention the Captain's great grandam
If you narrow down the search Trevor suggested and just do the descendants of Captain Treacherous's grandam Rodine Hanover
http://classicfamilies.net/CF/Descen...rseID=10016879
and open up all those little + boxes
There are 19 descendants that have won over $250k as well as multi millionaires
(Rock N Roll Heaven is a beauty but his grandam's descendants only show 8 over $250k winners)
One that should jump out at you from this arm of Captain Treacherous's family is our leading sire Art Major
Open up this pedigree link for Art Major
http://classicfamilies.net/horsedeta...rseID=10034446
and open up this pedigree link for Captain Treacherous's dam Wordly Treasure
http://classicfamilies.net/HorseDeta...rseID=10086578
They are ¾ siblings
There are no guarantees in breeding but U7 is a brilliant family

and Captain Treacherous's arm is a beauty

Click on any of them and see where their Tail Line (a very handy tab) intersects with Washington's

2 more days and the first babies will be born. It's exciting but I tell you now, sometimes I am glad I live in Canada and no longer have to hear the foaling alarm go off again.. and again.. and again.. and again.. FOR NO BLOODY REASON! I swear those mares know what's going on and hold their heads sideways deliberately
