She won easily by 4.25L and equalled the fastest time over that distance for that day.
THE GAINSBOROUGH/TEDDY SYNDROME - 12/29/06
Gainsborough and Teddy share a number of prepotent names as well as the same female line that seems to spark when brought together
Holiday Specials Christmas 2005 - 12/14/05
With Christmas just around the corner and the inevitable holiday racing ahead, a few well chosen bets may not (hopefully) go astray
Mabille - A Genetic Legacy - 11/15/05
The great broodmare Somethingroyal is an upgrading influence in modern pedigrees, ancestress of a number of superior performers and dam of two great sires, Sir Gaylord and Secretariat.
Green with Envee - 11/15/05
Envee has a very interesting pedigree, one for the linebreeders to drool over.
Elnadim - A Sire To Watch - 2/06/05
An impressive win by Elnadim's first NZ winner, 2yo son Jayeffkay, inspired me to investigate his pedigree and to see if any particular lines may be working with Elnadim.
Istidaad - Unlocking The Secrets - 2/06/05
Istidaad has one stakes winner to his credit so far, the G1 NZ Oaks winner Justa Tad. He carries a number of influential patterns that may upgrade certain mares who carry similar patterns in behind.

Avondale Jockey Club race today 1 December 2004 and an interesting and well bred youngster steps out in his debut run for trainers Colin Jillings and Richard Yuill.

Adict - A Nicely Balanced Pedigree - 9/30/04
Adict is a three year old filly who has yet to step out on raceday. However, trainers carl and Lisa Gately may have a good one here after a 5.5 length victory at the Whakatane trials on 7 Sep. 2004.
Tullamain - A Filly of Promise - 4/22/03
Here we have an example of a talented female line running out of steam and being bred back to an influential member of the same line, namely Mlle Lorette and reinforcement of her genetic strengths
Helenus, A Star In The Making - 11/04/02
Helenus went supernova with a gutsy win in the G1 Victoria Derby. Trained by Leon Corstens, this son of the G1 winner Helissio looks certain to continue his rise.
Rubiton - More To Come - 9/06/02
The four year old Nash Rawiller ridden Rubitano scored a decisive victory in the recent $100,000 Sir John Monash Stakes, a Listed event. By Rubiton, sire of the second and third placegetters Ruby Slipper and Prince Rubiton, Rubitano carries similar ancestors manifest in Rubiton's best performers.
Defier, A Linebreeding Success - 5/09/02
Defier (1997) attained the pinnacle of success when he made his way into Group 1 company, taking out the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes.

Within the space of one week, the half brothers Strategic and Clang produced a Group 1 winner apiece. In addition, Strategic's daughter Fair Embrace captured the G3 Sapphire Stakes.
Saint Cecile - Promotion At Last - 3/19/02
Saint Cecile brilliantly won her second New Zealand Bloodstock Breeder's Stakes at Te Aroha, a WFA F&M race over 1600m. A Group 1 event, she won it last season when it was of Group 2 status.
Empire Rose - A Tribute - 3/14/02
In 1988, a towering mare with a great heart to match snatched victory in the Melbourne Cup from the fast finishing Natski. She was the first mare to win the prestigious event for 23 years and gave her young rider Tony Allan and her trainer Laurie Laxon the thrill of a lifetime.
Elyzabel - More Than Meets The Eye - 3/13/02
Trained by master trainer Noel Eales, this 4yo mare took my eye on pedigree right from the start. Her record reads 6 starts for 1 win, 3 seconds and 1 third.
Singspiel - Come In Number 9 - 3/13/02
Singspiel carries many lines of the number 9 Lady Josephine family - Nasrullah, Royal Charger, Mahmoud (3 lines), Aristaphones and of course a full brother to Nasrullah's dam in Mirza II.
Voltigeur and The Flying Dutchman - 3/09/02
Two great competitors who stand as race equals and when crossed in the breeding shed ignited an equine dynasty that fired the hearts of our modern day thoroughbreds.
Sudurka's bloodlines abound with influential matriarchs - 3/07/02
Perugino's multiple G1 sprinter, destined for Waikato Stud, boasts four of the most prepotent female lines present in thoroughbred pedigrees.
King's Best provides interesting line-breeding opportunities - 3/07/02
King's Best will match well with daughters of successful Australian sires Danehill and Scenic due to the compatible bloodlines of his sire Kingmambo.
Gillespie's pedigree dominated by key sires - 3/07/02
The highlight of this pedigree is the Northern Dancer/Buckpasser cross in both sire and dam. It completely dominates his genotype.
Super Jet offers Ribot and Nashua opportunities - 3/07/02
Looking to breed away from Mr Prospector within Super Jet then Nashua and Ribot may fit the criteria. The current up and coming 2Y0 in NZ Danroad is bred on this cross.
