Well done Andrew - I'll admit I thought his best was well behind him but that was a very solid effort.
Just finished that slice of pie...
Funny tom. He is lightly raced deliberately. I won't go into detail but i think his strength was clear. He really does make his time and win his races with acceleration through the first turn and down the back. I won't go into detail but when he gets to the fence early he gets his chance to exploit his strengths and I think his top speed is as good as any. Ken and I both feel he is within a length or so of last yeAr. It is just that touch of luck early that makes his races. Thanks for posting. Andrew

He gobbled up the early leader with ease tonight. Great win and well done to all connections.

The leader is no slouch either.
Good win. Time a smart 30.02...I think he can go quicker with a good jump out

Well Done Andrew and Ken. Certainly hitting his straps at the right time and will be a massive chance in the melbourne cup. I like the look of his pups more and more after that run/

Real good run last night, I thought he was going to get jammed up on the rail going into the 1st turn but he pushed up well & gave a real good dog wind burn...

Really nice win by the dog last night, kept pushing up through the first turn to find a position then showed super acceleration to reel the leader in with ease and won as he liked after that. Congrats Andrew and connections, nice time of year for the dog to hit his straps.

Andrew varasdi, can you explain to me how banjo boy might suit my bitch rose of NIKITA. Still searching for Another sire for my short list. Maybe sandro might also give his opinion if he feels moved to do so.

Hi Lawrence, I know a little about your line but I will admit not a lot. I hve had a quick look at it and think there are a few interesting traits that I will raise with you regardless of the dog you choose. I would like to know a bit more about this bitches traits as well as looking at lines. Can you email me any insights into her or her litter that you may have. Thanks Andrew [email protected]

The other week my trainer mate trialled on same day as Banjo & today he did same at Sandown. He reckons a dog he thinks was Banjo went 29.2 today.
Only here say at the moment but That's moving if true.Shootout would be at his mercy

A very fast dog, but he just may turn out to be a better stud dog

I like stud dogs with strong damlines. They always stand up when it counts. He's had a few really good bitches so he'll get his chance. I like the mating through mick Barry's broodie, should produce a cracker

Will be a very interesting race to watch and the new style picking your box hope he gets the inside will be interesting if they can run him down
Do you have questions about breeding theories?
