With all the new stallions for breeders to choose from, some stallions down under have survived the test of time in both hemispheres.
Badlands Hanover is one of the sires who regularly makes the sires list in both North America and Australasia a proven son of Western Hanover.
Earning $756,000 in his race career, he took his mark of 1:50 at two at Colonial Downs which as a one turn track had a speed rating 2-3 seconds quicker than anywhere else at the time. So there were doubts about the significance of the time because of where it was taken.
However any doubts about his credentials as a sire have been long put to bed by his outstanding record at stud.
Badlands Hanover continued his amazing siring career last night in two different states, in West Australia his three-year-old son Beware The Darkness broke through for his first win for trainer Kim Young.
Over the border in South Australia,Badlands Hanover sired a double with Sookin Up trained by Jill Neilson and driven by his part owner Megan Gee and well-travelled former kiwi pacer Sniggijdis scored his fifth career win or Scott Ewen.
Badlands Hanover has sired 107 winners in Australia from just 173 starters and over $4million in stake money while in New Zealand his progeny have amassed over 9million dollars in prizemoney.
Many good judges agree Badlands Hanover is going to become a outstanding broodmare sire of the modern era he already has 75 individual winners from just 113 starters.
