Although it is only mid February the sires list for 2009 is starting to take shape, sorting out the "sheep from the goats". It will be interesting to see how it develops from here on. For whatever reasons (certainly no logical reasons) I have never been one to get too excited about Elite State but he continues to get the results. You could do a lot worse than him. Collision is doing well. Surf Lorian is only marginally above the 13% mark, he continues to be a bit disappointing from my viewpoint but then Bombastic Shiraz for whom I have a 'soft spot' is only marginally above 12%. Interesting that at least 3 of the top 7 are by Just the Best (Elite State, Big Daddy Cool and Surf Lorian). Just the Best is a good advertisement for breeding from good race bitches (out of Flying Amy), they don't come any better.

Further to my earlier post with regard to the latest Australian Sires List (progressive for 2009 calendar year), there is not all that much diversity with regard to who the sires are by: # 1 sire (by number of winners) Elite State, # 3 Big Daddy Cool and #7 Surf Lorian are all by Just the Best; #4 Bond, #5 Hallucinate and #9 Where's Pedro are all by Brett Lee; #6 Bombastic Shiraz and #8 Primo Uno are by Black Shiraz and then we have #2 Collision (x Awesome Assassin) and #10 Pure Octane (x Token Prince). All are by Australian bred sires. The mighty brood bitch Elusive Rebel produced 3 of the above, Hallucinate, Where's Pedro and Pure Octane, what a brood bitch and she also produced Carnage who is #20. Sobbing Sal not surprisingly has a pretty fair influence through dogs that are by Brett Lee (who is himself # 12 )and she is also the mother of Big Daddy Cool. Unfortunately, only one of the brood bitches is by an imported sire, Thai Again (Bond) who is by Grove Whisper. With regard to bloolines, the scene does not seem as though it is going to change all that much in the future with El Galo by Where's Pedro, Made to Size, Size Can Matter and Slater all by Surf Lorian and Mantra Lad by Pure Octane. I would like to see a dog or two by an imported sire really make an impact, "it is time".
