Canya Excite Me
WHEN Canya Excite Me exploded out, got to a strong lead, and then held off a determined Deadly Avenger for a narrow victory in last week’s Group 1 Sandgroper…Those who knew anything about her bloodlines would have already known she was special.
A daughter of Tommy Shelby she is out of Cayenne Model who is bred on the Barcia Bale/Bombastic Shiraz cross.
It is a recipe for success with Tommy Shelby that even a blind man would spot.
Runner-up, and last year’s Sandgroper winner, Deadly Avenger is by Tommy Shelby from a daughter of Aston Dee Bee (a son of Barcia Bale).
The strength of Canya Excite Me’s pedigree is that Tommy Shelby’s mother Serena Fly High was mated to Barcia Bale to produce G1 star Jungle Deuce.
But, do a quick check on the best progeny sired by Tommy Shelby and you will quickly see many, many of them have the very same Barcia Bale/Bombastic Shiraz cross in their dam.
The son/daughter balance of Bombastic Shiraz in many of these best Tommy Shelby progeny is a very common theme.
Tommy’s best out of the Barcia Bale/Bombastic Shiraz cross or with bitches that include Barcia Bale in their dam include:
G1 Perth Cup and G1 Flying Amy Classic winner Uncle Tommy
G1 Perth Cup winner Aston Rayner
G1 WA Galaxy, G2 All Stars winner West On Boonie
G1 Hume Cup runner-up and G1 Bold Trease finalist Shadows Of Blue
G2 WA Oaks winner Chef’s Dream
G2 Qld Derby winner and G1 Gold Bullion third Winsome Jet (a Sandgroper finalist)
G2 Qld Futurity winner, G2 All Stars finalist Daddy’s Girl
Multiple Group finalist including Sandgroper West On Sidney
G3 Ladies Bracelet winner Midnight Spritz
G3 Launching Pad third Blue Storm
The number of city winners bred on this cross is numerous.
WHICH brings me to this week’s Group 2 Rockhampton Cup finalist Riding Solo (Flying Ricciardo-Butterfly Is She).
For anyone interested, take a look at his pedigree.
His dam, Butterfly Is She is in-bred 1x3 to the littermates Izy Fast and Queen Of Tigers (Nujooloo-Noble Amy).
Riding Solo is in-bred 3x2 to littermates Glen Gallon and Velocity Zap (Flying Stanley-Incoherent).
The Boody family have long been very good breeders and trainers.
