Leading NZ breeder Pam Turner once shared with me this great old harness racing saying “Good Horses Come From Good Families, Great Horses Come From Anywhere“
While many people will agree with the above, it’s also true that so many come from Great Families.
If we have a quick look at Betterthancheddar (and its my view he is from a great family), his sisters have produced:
- World Champion Bulldog Hanover winner of $2,789,271
- Wheels On Fire winner of $976,058
- Blaise Mm Hanover winner of $516,855
A bigger star than the one above would be Sweet Lou as this outstanding horse is from another truly great family, and his sisters have produced.
- World Champion Captain Crunch winner of $1,725,45
- Youaremycandygirl winner of $1,6476,299
- Moonliteonthebeach winner of $519,102
Sportswriters sisters have also done an amazing job producing:
- Tall Dark Stranger winner of $2,365,549
- Soto winner of $617,115
- Beautyonthebeach winner of $554,567
To take advantage of the above in the up and coming Neds -APG sale this weekend on the Gold Coast, which just happens to have a massive $150,000 “Pot Of Gold Final” (with just 36 eligible yearlings that can compete in this guaranteed race series), Lot 13 is a must to have on your viewing list.
This exciting colt by Downbytheseaside is of out of the full sister of the $1,031,942 winning Art Major son Major Crocker.
Downbytheseaside – his first crop hit the track in 2021, proving to be a dominant force. Downbytheseaside was NA’s leading 2 year old sire in all aspects in 2021. That crop (now 3yo) has destroyed the opposition and Downbytheseaside and was crowned North America’s Leading Money Winning 3YO Sire for 2022, winning by more than $665,250over the 2nd place getter Captaintreacherous.
This may in part explain why his 2023 fee in North America will be $17,500.
APG is your only “INDUSTRY OWNED” & “NOT– FOR-PROFIT” SALES COMPANY!!!
