Family Ties - Well Related GGs Going Around

Coca Vicola is the dam of the favourite in the last at Horsham today Our Bare Knuckle. Coca is a half sister to millionaires Adore Me and Have Faith In Me.
Our Bare Knuckle's NZ sire Raging Bull is not on the HRA database yet - I thought they were added once any progeny raced in Oz

The horse to follow from the race is the winner Goodtime Heaven - she looks VERY good and she has family cred too as her dam Bella Joy has already produced Supersonic Miss and the warhorse Jukebox Music

Check Our Bare Knuckle's pedigree by searching it on the HRA horse search function. Raging Bull (not to be confused with the Knight stable's good horse from the 80's) is by Christian Cullen from a US-bred Artsplace mare. Was a pretty good horse but only had 10 starts.

A cousin of mine paid good dollars for Cola Vicola's yearling this year.

Good investment imho Showgrounds, I’ve looked at Cola several times when looking at that family, My Kiwi friends tell me Raging Bull was extra smart and if you look a bit closer, RB comes from the same maternal family as the Mighty Albatross

LOL, I am not a newb Trev - of course i knew I could find out all about him on the excellent HRNZ. I now realize that HRA will list all his Oz starters (NZers like Bare Knuckles included) IF he has a single 'Australian Bred' to get him on the board for openers

I found time to have a much closer look at Raging Bull NZ. He has not produced any quicker than Our Bare Knuckles but Raging Bull certainly had some credentials to try him as a sire

As Trev mentioned he only had 10 starts - two at 2yo, six at 3yo, two at 4yo. He won 5 and came second in the other 5. He came 2nd to Smolda three times and at his last start he finished 2nd to Christen Me

Rich, Classic Families reveals his dam San Sophia USA, is a half sister to Champion mare Galleria - US 3yo filly of the yr in 98 and US Mare of the yr in 99

We will have to wait a while to see if Raging Bull is to catch on as next yrs crop is tiny but he could have a dozen starters in each of the following 2 seasons

Raging Bull is a chance to be offered in Aus this season.

He sired an impressive filly named Pamplona Princess that placed 2nd in a trial at Chertsey in NZ in early Jan. Mile Rate: 1-56.6 Last 800m: 55.7 Last 400m: 26.7
She might have put RG on the map however passed with colic soon after.

Lombo Pocket Watch had his first juvenile winner for a while when Rollecks won the 2yo at Shep tonight
LPW has an Ok siring record with 45 winners from 80 starters from 191 foals. More impressive when you consider that all the winners come from his first 3 crops of 128 foals

Rollecks' dam Jane Cullen is a half sis to Inter winner Jofess

New Penrith Tk Rec holder with his 12th win from 13 starts, 3yo Ignatius has an impressive dam in Ashkalini but the reason he rates a mention in this thread is the fact that Ashkalini is a half sis to the great Beautide

Making his debut in the 3yo at Cobram today is Heaven In Locksley, a half bro to Ideal Tyson
