Nice Jamie, call that one a tie shall we? one bred my way, one bred your way!
Hey Triple
Take a look at the Max Hempt Memorial rce 10 on the same card.
A Rocknroll Dance won going 1:48.3 and has now won over $1m, he is by Rocknroll Hanover out of a Cam's Card Shark half sister to Western Hanover. He was purchased through the sale ring for $15k (great buying)
Alright, I'm feeling generous this evening. ;)Quote:

Betterthancheddar's bred comparitively Old School on his damside too.
Check out the sires. From a Camtastic mare from an Adios Vic mare from a Tar Heel mare from a Sampson Hanover mare from an Adios Boy mare.
That's actually the immediate maternal family of Parson's Den and another family branch produced Badlands Hanover.
Further back, it is also that of Timely Knight, the sire of the great NZ mare Armalight & also the sire of Kotare Knight who in turn sired a pair of quite oustanding Tassie pacers in Halyer and Milady.
Another branch produced Knight Dream who was in turn the damsire of another Tassie stalwart in Torado Hanover.
Pleased to see that he won it Dallas. He's had some dreadful luck in his recent outings.Quote:

Come to think of it, that makes 2 high profile North America Cup victims for Jodie, 2010 and now 2012. The 2010 edition was of course his inexplicable watch me folks I'll be in front at the 1/4 pole drive aboard Kyle Major, one which saw to it that an absolutely courageous Rock N Roll Heaven got beaten.
Jamie as an observation I have thought that 3x3 sireline to Cam Fella does show up more frequently then 3x3 cross to other sires in the winners lists but without data on how many foals are actually bred that way to turn it into a %age i'd say it is impossible to tell if it really is a viable cross. Badlands Hanover Knight Dream and Timely Knight are the same branch with Sweet Dream being the 4th dam of Badlands, dam of Timely Knight and full sister to Knight Dream. Parsons Den and BTC both descend from the same half sister to Sweet Dreams. Lydia Knight's family has left a bit of a mark on the breed.
