Thanks Noel. I am a big fan of American Ideal, saw him take his record at the Red Mile and love his breeding , very strong on both sides. We had a lot of fun racing Shezacullen and I wanted to introduce some speed and like the 4/4 cross to Direct Scooter. The resultant foal ( Ideal Tyson ) was a big boy and when he was offered at the yearling sale most comments were ' too big, won't make a 2 year old ' . I am happy that he has!

If you wanted to get into this family the opportunity is currently available.

Hi Kev, Strange sometimes when a real nice filly doesn't leave a lot in the barn but her daughters do. Courage is doing a fine job this season, He currently has 11 or 12 winning 2yr olds.

Stormy Helen is where the nice horses start Kev. It was a nice family even back then

Thanks Greg, I now see Avonali had a couple of producing sisters - did you your family have any of this line?

Stormy Helen was a nice racemare for Fran Donohue without being anything out of the box, but boy oh boy didn't she leave a magnificent legacy, you just never know with mares which will and won't throw on, but gee she ( Stormy Helen) has well and truly left a big, if not indelible mark.
