Between having a birthday during the week and seeing Melton Rc5 winner Catalpa Rescue great granddam is Tailamade Lombo tonight has me feeling a bit old. She along with Our Sir Vancelot were what gave me the racing bug as a young kid.
If you're old Brendan, then a lot of us had better make sure our wills are up to date!
It certainly was a night for family relations with both the older brothers in Yambukian and Swayzee upsetting their kid brothers in the feature races
You're feeling a "bit" old? Our Sir Vancelot's GRANDMOTHER was one that I followed and got me going to the trots. You are only a young whipper-snapper!Quote:

Oorah was driven by 70yo Peter Craven who has a most impressive strike rate this year with 5 wins from 11 drives
Echuca R1 winner Hotdelight, a 3yo only having her 2nd start, is a full sibling to Flamming Flutter, Two Times Bettor and Fiamma
That is some cross!

R1 Cranbourne tomorrow, we have Just Jaydo a superbly bred 2yo making his debut for trainer Jodi Quinlan (how did Jodi get this one?)
from Alldatglittersisgold

I have Turn The Page previously, being out of a full sister to Monkee King. She has now won all of her four starts in Western Australia, check out her latest win at Pinjarra today:
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...s/?mc=PA040923
Like her previous win a fortnight earlier, she worked three wide from last and then sprinted around the turn. I love tough filly's and, like a lot of Vincent filly's, she appears too have appreciated some time and patience.
4yo first starter Ima Terminator won at Ballarat tonight
He is superbly bred
He is a full bro to Nostra Beach
Half bro to Villagem and Miss Graceland
All three of them Gp1 winners
Not only did broodmare Amarillen produce all of them
She also produced Pixel Perfect - dam of millionaire Soho Tribeca and others
Ima Terminator paid $16
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...23#BAC26102303
Still on Amarillen, Toohard alerted me to the fact that another granddaughter - 2yo Zena Rhayne Bow won in 1.55.1 on debut at Albion Park just 10 days ago
3yo first stater for the Tubbs stable, Jamieson, won and paid $34 at Bendigo last night
They may not have fancied him but they were not going to let this one get away - like dual Gp1 winner, half bro Not As Promised
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...24#BNC08022405
Up until tonight Broodmare Manellira had not put any runs on the board but with her family you had to think it would happen one day. Her dam has been a very strong producer as has her full sister Pixel Perfect
3yo first starter Katunga Express's win suggests it will not be his last
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...24#FDC11022407
Glenledi Elvis who won the $60k Murray Cup at Albury last night is a ½ bro to Zeuss Bromac
It was a fair effort when you consider it was only the 5yo's 11th start and it is pretty much his first campaign as he did not begin racing until a late 4yo
It was a massive jump in class as the race included Shep Cup winner Curly James
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...24#ALC16022401
ps It looked like Albury had a better crowd than Melton
An Adam Hamilton interview with Emma Stewart threw up a promising Poster Boy 2yo The Highlight Reel
https://www.thetrots.com.au/news/the...-tasmania-cup/
I just had to look at his pedigree and I notice the 2nd dam is a half sis to Croesus who was a very smart juvenile
Joanna's 3yo half bro King Repellere is debuting at Ballarat in a few minutes
But here is a strange one. According to HRA he is 'retired'
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...24#BAC29022407
Bondi Lockdown's half bro Alot Like Louie has really hit his straps as a 3yo
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...24#MXC05032404
In the 2yo at Bendigo tonight, mare Indigenous has a new one going around while the best of her progeny - Life Inthefastlane, also has another going around
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...24#BNC13032407
The time wasn't anything out of the ordinary but 3yo filly Jilliby Illuminate might be something very special
Remember she is just an early 3yo having her third start
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...24#TEC20032403
Mum only had one start for zip but she is a full sister to millionaire Beaudiene Boaz who won 21 at GP
Last night's Bathurst Crown heat winner My Ultimate Barney's pedigree is full of champion sires
but it is the dam line that catches my eye. Unraced 2nd dam Revere Me is a full sister to millionaires Adore Me and Have Faith In Me
Barney was most impressive making it 2/2 despite working hard early
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...24#BHM22032409
The most impressive win by trotter Royal Dan in 1.52.9 at Menangle last night
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...24#PCM13042412
Had me reflecting on how great an influence his 3rd dam - La Coocaracha is proving to be (La Cooca's first foal La Biscuit is Dan's 2nd dam)
You will notice Dance Craze and The Locomotive there too
We've had multiple horses changed to retired by HRA. Really frustrating when you try to trial a horse and can't find it in the system because they've decided that because it hasnt raced it surely must be retired. ��Quote:

He is now the winner of 6 from 8 including the last 5 in a row - all his 4yo starts
He is yet to miss a place
Mum was a $100k winner from only 31 starts - winning or placing in 22 of them
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...24#WRC10062401
As usual such click on his dam to begin your search
2yo Fairplay, the ½ bro of Draw A Dream (six wins from seven 2yo starts last season) debuted with a win at Bendigo tonight
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...24#BNC11062407
While the stable also had 3yo Stitched Up Dan, out of Gp1 winning mare Without You, win his first start later on the program
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...24#BNC11062406
Another from the Larrakeyah Lady family won on debut at Shep tonight
On this cold winter night 2yo Always Hot rated 1.53.2 in his first start!
That is only 1.3 secs outside Mach Dan's Tk Rec
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...s/?mc=SP140624
The superbly bred 2yo Tenaciously wins her first start at Bendigo tonight
Her dam line is Miss Graceland - Amarillen - Nellirama
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...24#BNC21082404
