Breeder 609 Report post Posted August 14, 2017 Your second mare is from Redoute's Choice family so maybe Burgundy or Niagara (who is also from the same female family). Check out which suits on type best. I'm assuming you are breeding to race Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breeder 609 Report post Posted August 14, 2017 Sorry , should have added that with Echos of Heaven you are thinking along the same track I am suggesting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanleslie 19 Report post Posted August 15, 2017 Thanks Breeder yes we are going 2 race .I do like Burgundy but thinking Danzig on both sides of pedigree not a good thing. What is your thought on that. Only on my L Plates when it comes to Breeding Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your thought on that. Only on my L Plates when it comes to Breeding The mares last 6 mating's have produced progeny that have been double Danzig so maybe a good chance to try something different, with not a large budget looking to breed to duplicate influential broodmares may be a good way to press (would be interesting as the 2nd dam of Sweeping Success is Show Lady and the 3rd dam of EOH is Show Lady) , therefore Echoes Of Heaven at a cheap fee may be a good option Pegs Pride 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breeder 609 Report post Posted August 16, 2017 nathanleslie Sorry about a late reply to your question ( I've been away). I take note of BruceL's comment on the first 6 matings and probably it is wise to try something else. But my reasoning behind saying Burgundy ( or maybe another Redoute's Choice sire) is that if you look at the dam of Sweeping Success (ie Special Licence ) she is by a son of Danzig over Show Lady. Redoute's Choice is by a son of Danzig over the a granddaughter of Show Lady. So you have a similar genetic make up --one male and one female quite close up. We all have pet theories and I like to look for crosses like this rather than just looking at crosses of a particular sire.

jess 1,244 Report post Posted August 18, 2017 Quite right Shad. There are so many B.S'ers it's actually refreshing to hear someone say they don't know it all but they're gonna have a go and they're willing to learn. Had some dealings recently with a fairly esteemed owner / breeder - has a bank balance that makes mine look like petty change from a 5 year old's lemonade stall - but declared he isn't any expert in type or the other finer points of things equine - but nevertheless is loving every minute and soaking it all up. So all the best to you nathanleslie. Hope you breed a lil champion - you just never know bazach, Shad and Cubes 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shad 1,558 Report post Posted August 18, 2017 Thats what makes the game an even playing field, and you don't have to break the bank, been many rag to riches stories on mediocre bred horses turning into top liners, i think one from memory was the broodmare of tarzino, although i do stand to be corrected.

nathanleslie 19 Report post Posted August 19, 2017 Thanks Jess and Shad She's not due to foal till the end of September so iv got a bit of time. Dalghar would be my pick but been told you dont want a double cross of Danzig. Thats whats changed my mind about him Any help on that subject would be great Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeepers 276 Report post Posted August 19, 2017 Have you thought about Complacent? He looks very good value for a Gp1 winner. I saw him race and was very impressed with his performances.Look what Hartnell did yesterday and Complacent has beaten him in races. I am considering sending mares to him as I think the Aussies will buy his stock. La Zip 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breeder 609 Report post Posted January 4, 2019 Nathanleslie I see from the Stud Book you sent Sweeping Success to Burgundy. I hope you got a nice foal. I have been looking at the sales catalogues for this years yearling sales. Lot 911 in Book 2 ( from Brighthill Farm) has a similar cross. By Burgundy out of Silk Slipper --her 3rd grand dam is Show Lady . So the same female family as Sweeping Success. Silk Slipper has already had a foal by Burgundy --Smokin' Oak who has won 2 races so far ( trained by John Bary). Good luck with your one. nathanleslie 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berri 2,131 Report post Posted January 5, 2019 What you really need to do is first evaluate type and try and promote the best features and stay away from the worst. With your mare everyone has got carried away with going back to Northern Dancer line stallions although everyone is saying its doubling up on Danzig. I'll probably cop it from a few over these thoughts Super Easy was a 114 rated horse at best. Darci Brahma was rated 113 at best. Burgundy was rated 107 at best. Ascot Knight was rated 120, End Sweep 118, Sir Ivor 133 End Sweep was a top sire. 37 winners out of 75 foals in first crop, shuttled between Arrowfield and Japan until he was euthanatized with a tumour. His progeny were very strong behind with quite good forearm muscle but if you were to fault him, he had slightly long pasterns (being picky here). Ascot Knight was not a real Danzig on type. He was a big rangy stayer who took time and was very patiently handled by Mike Stoute. Sir Ivor is well known on type as he was replicated in Sir Tristram. They needed time and were stayers. Depending on what you want to breed depends on your next move. You have said you wanted to race which is an advantage because this commercial breeding is stuffing up the breed. People are relying on pedigree too much when type is more important. Take a look at Time Test. A very nice looking horse with a lot of balance but he is from a Mister Prospector sire line https://www.littleavondale.co.nz/stallions/time-test/mating-analysis End Sweep was by Forty Niner who is by Mr Prospector. The reason I am picking this out is that in the next generation you can pick and choose with a mare heavy in this blood thereby bringing out the best in your next matings. elvis, Baz (NZ) and nathanleslie 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berri 2,131 Report post Posted January 16, 2019 Not sure I'd go to Falkirk. 2% stakes winners to foals is not as good as you would want. Also he has rather awkward front legs which he throws to a lot of his progeny. I never like knocking anyone's stallion as they can all throw their champion but if I were advising breeders it would be to suggest breeding up.
