Sin Rap Explode, a promising stayer, breaks records at Richmond and shines at Wentworth Park over 700m. Linebred with a rich pedigree featuring top sires and prolific dams.

The breeding wisdom of Robbie Britton reinforces the importance of 500m city racers and emphasises breeders should not overlook strong damlines. 

Great racing happening at the weekend, headed of course by Schillaci's all-the-way win in $1.6 million The Phoenix at The Meadows on Saturday night. Group races everywhere around the country not to mention the fabulous pedigrees that warrant analysis.

Saige Tenniele's Group 1 win highlights her strong line breeding to Surf Queen and Teenage Dream, while Dyna Double One's broodbitch success is evident as seen in her pedigree.

Col Graham's promising racer King Of Aces highlights the success of the Hooked On Scotch/National Dingaan cross, linked by Knocka Norris and reinforced by Riviera Moss family influences.

Tommy Shelby, the emerging superstar race dog, is proving to be an exciting young stud with impressive progeny like Flying Freda and King Tommy. His damline influences play a significant role in his success as a sire. Hooked On Scotch also shows a distinct pattern in his progeny's success with Fabregas.

Magistrate, a standout from the Inspired Hope x Fernando Bale mating, continues to impress on the track, while Brimstone's pedigree featuring Kiowa Sweet Trey suggests potential as a broodbitch.

Gaytime Nemo's victory in the G1 English Derby final highlights the significance of Magic Sprite's influence as a sire of great broodbitches.

Dave Hobby has long been cautious of painting himself into a corner with the dogs he breeds. Quick to latch onto the Barcia Bale/Fernando Bale cross, it is just one part of the Meteor Monelli pedigree that warrants analysis.

Evidence that a long and productive race career for a bitch is absolutely no hindrance to her becoming a great broodbitch.

They say once something is proven, we should endeavour to copy it in a bid to achieve similar success. Daughters of Fabregas being mated to Fernando Bale, or bitches with a combination of Big Daddy Cool and Token Prince to Fabregas, or daughters of Barcia Bale to Fernando Bale are all proven recipes.
