BROODMARE CENTURION AND NZ TROTTING BROODMARE GEM – PASSIVE

This is another in an occasional series looking at some of New Zealand’s trotting broodmare gems, Passive also being a broodmare centurion.

Race winning U Scott trotting mare Passive founded an extensive branch of the Violet M family producing many notable progeny during her fruitful broodmare career.

PASSIVE (1941f U Scott/Violet Wrack; a member of the Violet M family, CF N26) : T2:13.8, $3,058; ten foals, one died, all eight who raced were winners (seven trotters, one pacer). Bred by Dan Robertson, Hakataramea farmer and all foals bred by Bill (WJ) Doyle.

** Conversion: $US1=$NZ1

Doyle considered Passive sufficiently forward to entertain racing against the pacers in the two year old Sapling Stakes but a broken leg at the socket to the knee meant she was in a plaster cast for over a year. Passive was unraced until five years of age winning two races at Greymouth and as a six year old at Kaikoura. A winner at New Brighton on the grass at seven with her final victory at Addington in January 1950 when aged eight, retiring with a career record of four wins and fourteen placings. In the broodmare barn she left winners of seventy races in NZ and 43 in North America. Passive died September 1971.

Passive’s dam Violet Wrack (1929f Wrack), T2:17¼, $1,778) bred by Dan Robertson, shown as residing at Islington, a Christchurch suburb. Leased by Bill Doyle from Robertson as a nine year old winning three races for owner/trainer/driver Doyle in the 1938/9 season including a double at Greymouth in January 1939 and on the grass at New Brighton in February. The winner of six races (others for McDonald and Fahey – two at Westport including dead heat, tr RJ Humphreys, Templeton, dr Jack Pringle; Mrs I Gibson, winner at Hutt Park for tr/dr A  Butterfield, Addington), Robertson offered Doyle Violet Wrack’s first foal which was Passive.

All four of Violet Wrack’s foals were bred by Dan Robertson when residing at Hakataramea, sixty kilometres west of Waimate, South Canterbury. Her two winners being Passive and Kowhai who had four wins, T2:12.4, $2,718 (two at Methven, Geraldine, Ashburton), dam of six foals for four trotting winners – Yon Bairn (three), Grand Charge (eight, two Addington, one Alexandra Park), Big Charge (six), Johnny Kowhai (six) and Kowhai Craig, dam of three winners. Jasmine, unraced half-sister of Passive, third dam of Lord Hanover, four wins, 2:06.8, $13,625, Hawera Cup.

Grand dam Violet Wilkes (1919f Marvin Wilkes) bred by H Saunders, Waimate. Unraced, her six foals resulted in Violet Wrack (as above) being her only winner. Other foals included : Drumly, unraced dam of Canata, 2:40.0, $6,404, Westland Cup, Oamaru Hcp, Oamaru Presidents Hcp twice, dam of four winners including Secundus, seven wins, 2:11.4, $5,994, Westport Cup; Cassandra, unraced dam of Initiate, winner and dam of four winners including Miss Frost, four wins, 2:16.7, $1,995, Greymouth Cup and Birchlea Girl – dam of three winners : Castle Hanover (six NZ wins, 1:57.2US, $300,547), Tarport Grattan (three wins, 2:02.6, $8,279, NZMTC November Hcp), Birchlea Farr (three wins, 1:54.4US, $165,812).
