bloke 1,232 Report post Posted February 18, 2018 It is good that Trackside provides the pedigrees of horses winning feature races. However, It would be great if they delved thoroughly into the pedigrees rather than just giving the Sire and Dam of the winning horse. For example after yesterday's Avondale Guineas if they had researched more fully they would have seen that the grand dam of On The Rocks is Refused The Dance who is the Dam of VRC Derby and Melbourne Cup winner, Efficient. I used to enjoy Alexander Fields how he did his home work on breeding and used to go into the pedigrees of well bred horses prior to races.. talk, Black Kirrama and Tomjr 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huey 2,037 Report post Posted February 18, 2018 Or that CS Haye stakes winner Grunt is by O'Reilly and his dam is from the family of O'Reilly and Ocean Park. But I know its Aus racing. bloke and La Zip 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Zip 468 Report post Posted February 19, 2018 Yes, Sky Racing viewers used to bag Caroline Searcy when she did the mounting yard comments...her knowledge of pedigrees is excellent, so I guess it’s striking a balance between how much info to disperse. If you’re like me, too much pedigree info can never be enough....my motto: good horses come from good families!
