Each month Chase’s DAVID BRASCH highlights the stories behind Queensland’s most recent complete monthly breeding statistics.

TERRY Medcalf has been tossing up a good dog for decades and it all comes from the Cool Pyjamas damline he has been using with great success.

Cool Pyjamas is from the Rapid Cyclone-Cyclone Kelly-Top Priority damline that Tony Glover and Jemma Daley have made their own in recent times via the success of the “Hara’s” line.

It’s also the line the Hazelgrove family brought to the fore via Cyclone Kelly and her offspring.

Now Terry’s Group class bitch, Shot Clock (Fabregas-Cool Pyjamas by Big Daddy Cool), has whelped two dogs and two bitches by Aston Rupee.

Shot Clock won an Ipswich Cup Consolation and was a finalist in the G3 Gold Coast Cup.

Terry loved her litter by Aston Dee Bee which included Stop Watch, a finalist in the G2 Queensland Futurity.

Of course, Aston Rupee’s mum Aston Miley is a litter sister to Aston Dee Bee so Terry was taking the guesswork out of the mating when he put Shot Clock to Rupee.

Shot Clock won 20 races and earned $65,000 for Terry.

 

ASK Travis Elson to pick the best litter of pups whelped at his Yandina Creek property and he won’t have to think twice.

He will plump for the Aston Rupee-Limited Edition litter of five dogs and one bitch whelped in September.

Consider the number of litters the Elson family has bred in the past couple of decades and you will be amazed that Travis rates this litter the very best … ever!

He cannot fault them.

Limited Edition (Fernando Bale-Cyndie’s Magic) won 19 and earned $116,000 from her 69 starts. Her littermates, all nine of them, were all winners of 179 races and $714,000.

Consider Magical Cyndie (36 wins, $141,000), Magical Bill (25 wins, $118,000), Magical Hope (21 wins, $122,000) … well you get the picture.

And that’s without considering their mother, the great Cyndie’s Magic.

Limited Edition won the Listed Carnival Sprint and was a prolific feature race placegetter or finalist.

Putting a Fernando Bale bitch to Aston Rupee was a no brainer.

Aston Dee Bee has already worked exceptionally with daughters of Fernando Bale. Think Just A Sort, Reflections, Granite Song etc.

 

TRAVIS has also bred a litter of five dogs and three bitches by Fernando Bale from Magic Miss.

Magic Miss (Dyna Double One-Hope’s Magic) was third in a Chairman’s Cup and three times a Group finalist. She won 10 races and earned $84,000.

And she is a litter sister to Dynamo Waz (14 wins, $48,000), Love Game (14 wins, $76,000), Dynamic Bill (18 wins, $89,000) and Hope’s Dynamic (nine wins, $54,000).

Their dam, Hope’s Magic (Magic Sprite-Regal Silver) won 28 races and earned $96,000. Her littermates won 153 races and earned $762,000. Of course, this is the litter that contained Cyndie’s Magic (45 wins, $425,000).

It has taken a little while, but daughters of Dyna Double One are starting to get their act together.

Plagiarise (finalist G1 Sapphire Crown) is by Fernando Bale from a daughter of Dyna Double One.

G1 Nat Sprint winner Saige Tenniele is out of a daughter of Dyna Double One.

 

KEITH Boan knows a good dog when he sees one.

Keith has been around for decades and his former handy bitch Lady Xena (Dyna Villa-Noaki Comet) has whelped a litter of three dogs and six bitches to a mating to Fernando Bale.

The dam won 11 races and earned $27,000.

She came from a very good litter of nine who all won, including Noaki Queen (16 wins, $40,000).

Keith certainly did his homework when he put Lady Xena to Fernando Bale.

The bitch’s dam Noaki Comet (Bombastic Shiraz-Noaki Pace) is a litter sister to Noaki Moth.

When Noaki Moth was mated to Fernando Bale, it produced a dog called Fernando Mick, a superstar sprinter that just happened to win 35 races and $867,000 including the G1 Australian Cup and G1 Hobart 1000.

Fernando Mick made 13 Group finals.

 

OXENFORD’S Dave Bailey owned and trained Me And You (Fernando Bale-Miss Gin Gin) to win nine races and $80,000.

The bitch was a very good stayer, just like her mum, and was a finalist in the Chairman’s Cup at Albion Park.

Me And You is bred on the highly successful Fernando Bale-My Bro Fabio cross.

Now the bitch has produced four dogs and a bitch to a mating to Irish Derby third Jackslittlething (Droopys Sydney-Limini).

Daughters of Fernando Bale have done very well in Ireland and England.

 

MAL and Helen Ross can churn out a good dog.

When they mated Clover Cottage to Fernando Bale they got more than they could have hoped for. First off, it produced 11 pups, 10 of which won.

Among the litter was classy Phantom Bonnie (30 wins, $89,000) winner of a G3 Casino Cup and track record holder there, Country Cottage (21 wins, $47,000), Sail Slone (14 wins, $31,000), Phantom Clyde (20 wins, $45,000), Jimary Star (16 wins, $53,000) etc.

Mal and Helen also had Jimary Spitfire from the litter and she was second in a Taree Cup and a finalist in another year.

Jimary Spitfire has whelped five dogs and three bitches to her mating to Hooked On Scotch.

We are all aware Hooked On Scotch’s dam Nicki Fields was mated to Fernando Bale to produce Poke The Bear and Out Of Range.

Any for sale, Mal?

 

WHILE we mentioned Terry Medcalf’s success with the Cyclone Kelly damline, few have had better success with that line than Craig Hazelgrove.

Craig raced Wise Misty (Paw Licking-Wise Forecast), winner of the G2 Ipswich Gold Cup.

Cyclone Kelly is her fourth mother.

Wise Misty has just whelped two dogs and four bitches by Hard Style Rico the G1 Melbourne Cup winner whose son Schillaci is a boom youngster.

Wise Misty won 33 races and $239,000 for Craig. She, too, came from a fabulous litter.
