Stan Monelli

ANYONE who watched Amron Boy race knew just how good he was.

A multiple Group 1 winner and luckless not to have beaten superstar Wow She’s Fast in The Phoenix, he went to stud with all the right credentials.

A son of Zambora Brockie from the Fernando Bale bitch Miami Fernando, he has a strong import influence through his second dam Sacramento Sal who is by Kinloch Brae from a daughter of Premier Fantasy and comes from a fully imported direct damline.

When recommending potential matings, it is always best to utilise a “wait and see” on most stud dogs.

But, Amron Boy had that something special about his racetrack performances, and from his first runners to the track, he appears to be the real deal.

The fact he has Fernando Bale as his damsire means he is VERY attractive for many bitch lines.

Dave Hobby, way over there in WA, is a real bloodlines knowledge.

His matings show a huge understanding of influences in pedigrees and his success in producing great race dogs is not only impressive but constant.

Dave has used Amron Boy with a bitch called Sunset Wildfire (Mepunga Blazer-Sunset Jessie by Fabregas), a litter sister to the great Sunset Spitfire.

And, what a litter it is promising to be.

Stan Monelli led throughout to beat his littermates in the Cannington Autumn Maiden Classic, and then he and Gideon Monelli backed up to both win heats of the Mandurah Derby.

Once again, Dave Hobby has put together a pedigree that suits both sire and dam, and has come up with a litter which has him claiming both Stan Monelli and Gideon Monelli could be among the best he has trained.

So, what is it that makes this Amron Boy-Sunset Wildfire mating so special?

First, and foremost, it brings in a 3x3 of Fernando Bale and Fabregas … a proven link between tow stud influences, proven to G1 level.

Mepunga Blazer’s great G1 Sandown Cup winner Korda is bred on this cross.

Next, it introduces a 5x4 of Premier Fantasy and we have already seen that duplicating Premier Fantasy can work to G1 level … think Baby Jaycee.

Stan and Gideon Monelli also have a duplication of Bombastic Shiraz 4x4 at the top and bottom of their pedigree. The double of Bombastic Shiraz is special.

And, to top off all of this, Kinloch Brae in Amron Boy is placed to impact with Collision in Sunset Wildfire. And, this too is a proven cross.

Which all adds up to Dave Hobby’s latest litter of exciting youngsters.

And, it certainly has done Amron Boy a huge boost to his stud career.
