Breeding - The Importance Of The Female Line

[green lurchers 16,866]

think its fare to say theres more emphasis on a proven sire in horses as quite often proven sires are bred to unproven mares that hold a decent line but sometimes don't see a track , theres always a freak who pops up sir percy being one of those ,he was bought for 16,000 gns to go hurdling , bred from speed to heavy stamina line as a 2 yr old he showed more than enough speed to win a few short races then went on to win the derby at a 1m 4f

just red up on halling i was wrong he had plenty of races very sucsesful horse

 

halling was a good animal bumped into one of the best in bosra sham another of my faves trained by the late henry cecil, bosra sham being one of those with a champion sire line bred to unproven on the track dam line

yeh thats very true i dont think its switchd the other way unless it was a stallion that was untrainable but with fantastic blood lines and owners were willing to take a chance i did actually put a dog to my coursing bitch swoop which had never realy had a coursing careaer but his bloodlines were right in my eyes and produced a litter full of match winners to put the record straight beany wasent a great coursing dog his bloodlines were great though so put to a bitch which was a proven producer and a fantastic coursing dog you end up as i said with a litter of champions

you might be interested in America its the belmont stks G! 1m 4f on sat , a distance not raced by many horses over there ,its the 3rd leg of the triple crown , out of the dozen or so runners on paper only 5 are bred to get the trip on breeding so itl be good to watch p.s I'm on Stradivari who is more of a speedy bred and lani a horse he is bred to stay the distance ,good luck

glad that breeding fell in place for you ,it was a very good move on your part as in stallions they might not achieved at the highest level but can become proven producers , just to add frankels daughter fair eva won by 4 lengths at haydock today

Yea just checked it out on the ATR website

[breeze 1,325]

Not a bad start to his stud career... Wonder how many mares he has covered so far ???

[roybo 2,873]

Think it's fair to say a good bitch (along with a good stud) is crucial.

But the mating needs to click.

 

That's where the skill or luck lies.

Putting the two together
