NOT so long ago, the internet was wild with the view the first progeny sired by Aston Dee Bee were short coursers unable to run a strong 500m. The "internet experts" were wrong again, with the running of the G2 Launching Pad series, the spotlight quickly shone on Aston Dee Bee's son Kuro Kismet.

The super 29.49 performance by All Hands Off at Albion Park on Thursday night certainly means her fabulous pedigree deserves close scrutiny.

Saturday night's Group 2 Horsham Cup result was a victory for bloodlines intensity if ever there was one. That monster of the racetrack, Shima Shine (Barcia Bale-Shima Song by Dyna Tron), swept to victory to add to his ever growing reputation. Boxed to win as he did, Shima Shine had come off yet another track record victory in his heat.

Stanley Road carries a 2x3 cross of the virtual sisters Greta Bale (Where's Pedro-Gold Rush Bale) and Princess Bale (Hallucinate-Gold Rush Bale). Where's Pedro and Hallucinate are litter brothers.

The son of Bombastic Shiraz-Chili Berger won the 13 races from 28 starts and earned $87,000 when racing way back in 2007. His claim to fame was victory in the Group 1 National Sprint beating Pure Burst and Mandagery Man putting $50,000 into his bank account.

To watch Wow's performance against Group 1 sprint rivals in The Temlee at The Meadows on Saturday night left one amazed at his tenacity, his chase and strength.

When Sennachie burst onto the racetrack back in 2019, he heralded a duplication of Primo Uno in his pedigree, a 3x4 cross but positioned to greatly impact with each other.

AUSSIE infrared's emergence as a promising young stud dog was sealed when his son Catch The Thief scored to a 29.32 victory in the Group 2 WA Derby at Cannington on Saturday night.

The sensational 29.47 run at Cannington at the weekend by Zack Monelli continues a theme fast emerging as a recipe for success. What interested me about his pedigree is that he is bred identically to Queensland greyhound of the year, multiple Group 1 winner, track record breaker and now stud dog Fast Times (Barcia Bale-Clockwise by Magic Sprite).

WAY back in the early 2000s, Bob Grocott imported from the US a dog called Fortified Rush. Last Thursday night at Angle Park, Fortified Rush was represented by Footrot Fosse a slick 29.82 winner of semi-final of the Group 3 Brian Johnstone Memorial.

EVERY now and then, a pedigree, so well designed, that it demands the closest of scrutiny. One such pedigree is that of last week's Group 1 New Zealand Cup winner Pinny Mack (Cosmic Rumble-Flying Sienna by Bombastic Shiraz).

Back in February 2016, Victorian breeder Harry Manolitsis contacted Pedigrees By Design for an analysis for his broodbitch Dasha. This is what we told him ... and what resulted was Saturday night's Group 1 Topgun winner Get It Gizmo.

LITTLE Earner's slick victory at Angle Park last Thursday night continued her unbeaten record of six for six. The daughter of Barcia Bale-Magic Earner by High Earner has an imposing pedigree of dominant ancestors, proven patterns and a damline that is among the very, very best there is.

Those with a penchant for analysing pedigrees in the greyhound world, will have noticed with interest the result of the time-honoured Pop Northfield Maiden at Casino last Friday. Profit Plan (Magic Sprite-Kingsbrae Missy) continued the re-emergence of his sire Magic Sprite in recent months as a powerhouse stud dog with a classy victory as favourite.

London-born New Zealander by the name of Harold Hampton, became world famous for advocating the use of "balancing" thoroughbred pedigrees in the search for success on the racetrack. Fast forward and the success of Opal Beach (Black Magic Opal-Nevaeh Beach by El Grand Senor) and Velocity Bettina (Zambora Brockie-Velocity Shirl by Collision) are perfect examples of just what Hampton prescribed way back in the 1950s as one "recipe for success" in the racing game.

The daughter of Turanza Bale-Kula Girl and Where's Pedro, She Will Bloom, proved once again she is a high quality race bitch when she led throughout to dent a few reputations with victory in the Group 3 Top Cat Video Cup at The Meadows on Saturday night.

In this post we take a look at the pedigrees of Osullivan and Zambora Brockie.

Spring Bridge has always shown above average ability. The June 2016 whelp, by My Bro Fabio from Tina Lee (Brett Lee-Daydream) boasts an incredibly in-bred pedigree one that breeding enthusiasts should take time to study.

BACK in February 2018, the Fernando Bale-Why Not Donna bitch Why Not Ginger won the Traralgon Floodfawn Classic for Gail and Greg Carter at Devon Meadows. It sparked my attention because Why Not Ginger was the very first feature race winner by Fernando Bale that carried line breeding to his own US bloodlines.

Saturday night at Wentworth Park, the Collision-Solar Pak mating continued to prove itself when Feral Franky landed the Group 1 Vic Peters to go with his G3 Flying Amy Classic, G3 New Sensation and Richmond Riches victories.
