Pedigree Dynamics News Blog

The emerging success of imported Throughbreds was highlighted last weekend when Chris Wallers imported gelding, Shadow Cabinet (IRE) won the $70,000, March Hare Handicap (1550m) at Canterbury. The three-year-old Noverre gelding was purchased in the UK and exported to Australia at a fraction of what you would expect to pay to either breed and raise or purchase a yearling with the potential to become a city class horse. We currently have a number of tried horses available from all over the globe including a great staying prospect from France. This 2005 model colt has had 5 starts for 2 wins and 2 places including a 2nd place in Group 2 company over 2000m. This smart colt has already passed the ballot conditions for entry in the 2008 BMW Caulfield Cup (Gr1) and he also has a commercial pedigree so he could prove to be great value as a stallion prospect. He is a half brother to three stakes winners including a 4 time Gr1 winner and he is a son of ROCK OF GIBRALTAR who is not only currently the second leading sire of 3YO's in Australia but also sired Mount Nelson, the winner of last weekend's Coral-Eclipse Stakes (Eng-G1) at Sandown Park.. We have vision of his Gr2 placing which can be viewed by contacting Jane on 02 9997 3019 for further details.

Congratulations to BELLAGIO LODGE who have purchased DIANA CAZADORA, a fantastic race filly we featured in our last newsletter. Already a Group 1 winner in Chile, this 3yo was sired by DUSHYANTOR (by Sadler's Wells), the current Leading Sire in Chile. Being a Group 1 winner over 2000m, DIANA CAZADORA has already passed the ballot conditions for entry into the BMW Caulfield Cup. BELLAGIO LODGE are no strangers to purchasing South American bloodstock through Pedigree Dynamics as they have previously bought dual Group 1 winner and Champion 3YO in Brazil, LOVING NEW. LOVING NEW is now expecting her first Aussie born foal sired by Widden Stud's Gr1 winning son of Redoute's Choice, STRATUM. We wish Bellagio Lodge every success with both of these South American imports.

With the breeding season fast approaching, time is running out to get your stallion bookings finalised. While Jane has been fully booked for detailed mating analysis this year, as always Janine is more than able to help our clients by organising their stud bookings, transport and walk-on agistment if required. This service includes advice from Jane on the compatibility of your proposed mating. Our recommendation of a suitable stallion for your mare is always unbiased and is holistically approached with your optimal commercial and racing success in mind. We are able offer this advice free of charge to our clients as, like every bloodstock agent, we receive a small commission from the stud. Due to the volume of bookings we handle, we can generally negotiate a reduced stud fee that the individual would not otherwise be offered. In the case of studs where a discounted rate is not available, then we can usually arrange a longer term of payment for our clients. Our points of difference from standard bloodstock agents are the additional customer service we offer and of course over 20 years of pedigree analysis experience .
