There are few examples of NZ broodmares whose progeny have totalled one hundred or greater wins between them. Their identities are below and it must be remembered that there could be others.

Currently (17 March 2020) there are at least thirteen NZ bred broodmares who can be considered centurions – included amongst them is the dam of the world’s first millionaire pacer; a mare whose only progeny to race has recorded a century plus of victories; another produced a classy international female pacer of the late 1990’s; a mare whose second last raced foal was her best performer; a pacing broodmare bred and owned by prominent trotting owners/breeders; a mare with a sub 1:50US performer and another who won eighty of her mares successes; a mare with dual gaited winners, none in Australia but considerable numbers of wins in North America; a mare whose progeny often featured the famed U Scott/Light Brigade cross; a mare who boasts a millionaire and successful sire; one mare with both a millionaire and a double millionaire among her foals whose own mother has achieved centurion status, she boasting two millionaires amongst her progeny; one who only has six winning credits in NZ but a massive number more in Australia and finally the current reigning champion with excellent records especially in NZ and North America together with further successes in Australia.

The illustrious list of mares are Desilu, Cath Hanover, Sabrina Bromac, Vain Franco, Colwyn Bay, Chaangerr, Paulina, Passive, Atomic Lass, Melvins Speed, Splendid Dreams, her dam Scuse Me and the latest entrant Fleets Pocket.  Each story will be disclosed in later articles but a brief table outlining their achievements is set out below :

It is interesting to note that there is another broodmare with an agonising closeness to the one hundred mark for her owners – Rob The Nest will remain stranded on ninety nine wins as all her progeny have completed their racing careers. Interestingly, the remarkable Berthabell (DOB 1909) achieved a standout tally of ninety five credits all in NZ (most credited to any NZ bred mare in NZ) during the 1920/1930’s, who remains’ just outside this special group of centurions while Niamey with ninety eight, Cyclone Vance with ninety seven winning credits and Twice As Good with ninety six are edging closer to the magical one hundred mark while Coo Doo was left sitting with ninety five credits.

ROB THE NEST (1989f Chiola Hanover/Tabella Robyn, family of Pottery Mountain, CF N82) : winner of six races, T2:08.1, $35,380; 11 live foals, 9 raced, 7 winners, three in two minutes, two in T1:56.0. Bred by National Bloodstock Corporation; all progeny bred by Neil Munro and/or Gary Allen.
