Perhaps Darren, Ryan and Sandro could run the ruler over him as well. |
John Will he get the opportunities to produce the number of litter for us to examine what lines he does/doesn't nick to? I guess him being an elite stayer in the 2nd of half of his career is not going to help, we already know the answer to that However, most breeders have been so anti-staying for so long up to now d I notice a lot of dogs racing that are starting to lose their ability to finish off their races over 500m Virtually all staying males are being neglected and listed for the stud scrapheap whilst staying females are being treated like queens Interestingly though a STAYER, Burn One Down recently produced the G2 WA Oaks winner Cobargo (out of another stayer, Qld Winter Chase finalist , Abby Normal), who ran down a bitch called Mermaid Monelli, who was already a FFA winning bitch at Cannington (29.72) CLICK HERE
So there is some hope for breeding with stayers, both male and female Those willing to do it in future, will hopefully be rewarded especially if one of the leading States, NSW can stop its obsession with sub-420m racing and start supporting longer distances So John to answer your question, he is an interestingly bred sire, inbred to Luana Bale, inbred to Minnies Nikita and inbred to the Hallucinate and as you say a very accomplished sprinter before venturing over the longer distances He won his maiden at The Meadows in 29.87 and then broke 30 seconds in every other sprint win at that track There wouldn't be too many dogs who could boast that record He also ran 29.34 at his first Sandown win He then proceeded on his staying career where he won at Sandown in 33.88 and so on, eventually having 85 starts for 31 wins & 29 placings Honestly, who wouldn't want a dog capable of those statistics He is free of Black Shiraz, Awesome Assassin, Just The Best and alternative Brett Lee sires therefore, you could easily mate him daughters and grand-daughters of Collision, Bombastic Shiraz, Knocka Norris, Elite State, Surf Lorian as well as major Irish lines of Larkhill Jo, Sonic Flight, Premier Fantasy and USA lines of Kiowa Sweet Trey, Flying Penske, Gable Dodge & Molotov His bloodlines lend himself to such experimentation that he could throw classy all distance dogs if given a decent chance

Do you have questions about breeding theories?
