Most breeders around the world would envy one small time owner /breeder this Super Sunday Breeders Crown day at Tabcorp Park Melton.
New South Welshman Michael Taylor has achieved a pinnacle as a small time breeder he has three runners on Sunday.
Taylor who has just accepted a job as Office Manager of HARAS DES TROTTEURSafter spending the past two years as Nevele R’s Australian Representative has two trotters and one pacer qualified for the their respective Breeders Crown Finals.
Exciting Two-year-old trotter Empire Bay (by The Pres) now in the care of Brent Lilley was impressive at his last start chasing home Illawong Byron in his semi-final at Maryborough. Empire Bay will once again have New Zealand master driver Tony Herlihy in the cart.
Empire Bay is out of former smart mare Miss Adelade, who has a weanling colt by Great Success and is foal to Crazed.
Three-year-old trotter Sun Valley Road will contest the Woodlands Stud 3YO Trotters Final after claiming three victories in a row the son of Skyvalley sat parked outside Maori Law in his Semi Final and from gate three in the final must be an outside chance.
Sun Valley Road is out of the Monarchy mare Solona who has a colt and filly by Great Success to come.
Taylors two-year-old pacer Canada Bay by Mister Big out of a mare that is becoming a bit of broodmare gem for her owner Transparency Rules(by Live Or Die), Transparency Rules has already produced eight time winner Caroline Bay and the dam of the Adelaide Yearling Sale sales-topper a filly by Lincoln Royal, and she is currently in foal to McArdle.
Win lose or draw on Sunday Michael Taylor take a bow your achievement is amazing and you are just what this industry needs a small breeder with vision.
