Dont we all, lol C'mon Geoff tell the yanks to stop holding out on us.
Its all about timing mate there is only a very short window of opportunity with some of these dogs .. KC And All had a fairly late start to his stud career he was a 2006 whelp .. he had one litter born in 2009 and one in 2010 both for his owner while he was still racing .. when he retired he had a few bitches in 2011 but he was 5yo by then and obviously they werent going to impact, performance wise, until he was around 7yo .. so by time we get the first shipment of his FS over here hes over 8yo and by the time those pups hit the track hes 10yo which is what he is now .. 10 yo and retired from stud duties
So good luck to those that take the punt .. and congrats to Georgie and Brett .. on Striker Light last night in the Egg .. and to her breeder Toby
Also on another sire that we have marketed but is no longer available due to his untimely passing nearly two years ago ... Bella Infared .. congrats to David Smith on his litter out of Slasher's Ethics with 4 winners at Dapto on Thursday night including White Sox Ethics in 29.68

It sounds like there is a lack of opportunity for potential sires in the U.S.A. Maybe Australian U.S.A. Semen suppliers should look at importing the Dog not his Semen.
Ted been following your bitch Winklee Jane .. ran on well for a good second today and couple of nice wins recently and looks to be improving all the time
KC And All had a smart winner today in NSW ... this afternoon at Bathurst, Fast Car Driving (KC And All x Subway To Venus) won the maiden final by 4 lens from box 4 in a flying 25.59 only a couple of lengths outside the track record.
Over in the US, a couple of recent Stakes (Group) winners for SH Avatar with Konomi winning the Wheeling Downs National Stakes final on May 29th and Bar Gin winning the Southland Sprint Derby on July 1st
Konomi was also a runner up in the Kings and Queens final at Dubuque, as an odds-on favourite, on July 4th
Also at Bathurst today over 700m, top class stayer Ebby Ripper (SH Avatar x Ebby Miss) stood the leaders up 15/20 lengths and flashed home to miss out by a head. SH Avatar has only 10 litters of racing age in Australia

Hi Geoff, Jane made the Nelson 3rd division and dutchy made the 4th division finals next Monday. There is very little between them in ability but Jane seems to have inherited a bit of her grandmothers middle distance genes by the way she finishes off her races.Very happy I got that straw as they are both very good dogs. Thanks again Geoff and G-DATA as I only made the decision to use KC and ALL after I read about him on here. Cheers Ted.

SH AVATAR
In the USA: March of 2018 sees SH Avatar as the busiest sire in the US with 34 matings just ahead of KC And Alls son Superior Panama with former #1 sire Djays Octane the 3rd most popular
SH Avatars brilliant son KONOMI has adapted well since moving to Southland back in December, where he has won 13 of his 20 starts and 6 of his last 7 in AA.
KONOMI was rated the 9th best greyhound in America last year being made Captain of the 2nd All-American team. He has a record of 40 wins from 59 starts and has proved dominant in top grade racing on 4 different US tracks
In Ireland: Last Saturday night (17th March) saw SH Avatars daughter DATE DUE (x Bonus) as easily the fastest qualifier for the prestigious Irish Cesarewitch clocking 33.42 over the 600 yard course. She won the 3rd heat by 5 lengths from Silver Penny as a 4/6 favourite on a track rated .70 slow.
The next fastest heat was run by Kildare Farmshop (Kinloch Brae x Swift Rush) who won Ht 4 by 2 lens in 33.64. The other 3 heats were won in 33.82, 33.82 and 34.45
SH Avatar has been Americas busiest sire over the last 6 months with 63 matings listed in the last 2 NGA Reviews. Djays Octane was next attracting 43 matings then followed Pat C Clement with 35 .. Superior Panama 34 .. Flying Fired Up with 26 Lonesome Cry 20 and Barcelona Boss with 18
One of Avatars pups attracted the top price at last weeks Nationals Auction with TNT NITTY GRITTY being the only dog to top the $30k mark, selling for $32,500. He recorded 30.01 in his heat, the fastest time over the 4 day series .. and backed up 3 days later to win his final in a solid 30.14
In Australia, his outstanding staying daughter EBBY RIPPER took her stakes earnings to $218,000 with victory in the Gr 3 Wentworth Park Gold Cup over 720m. Ripper holds the staying track records at The Gardens (41.70) and Bathurst (40.86) and recorded 42.15 in her Gold Cup victory.
Avatar has only 13 litters over 2yo in Australia and as well as Ebby Ripper he has produced quality performers including .. *MATT MACHINE - Finalist Melbourne Cup & Maturity *SUFFRAGETTE - Launching Pad winner *DAITHY ALLEN - 3rd Nat Futurity *MIDNIGHT HERO - 25.40 Gee; 29.52 SP; 23.68 Ben *EBBY CHANCE -30.40 Rich; 29.43 Gosford *UTAH MISS - Finalist Rich Oaks & Bathurst Gold Cup *ALLEN HADRIAN
And to cap off a sensational period for Avatar .. this time in Ireland last week his outstanding daughter CABRA ANGEL raced to victory in the prestigious Limerick Oaks running away to win by 4 lens in 28.49 as the 5/4 favourite. She went undefeated throughout the series and took her record to 8 wins and 5 placings from 16 starts. CABRA ANGEL finished 3rd in last years Irish Oaks final behind Forest Natalee as a 5/2 equal fav

Saturday 19th May 2018
Skywalker Pumas brilliant son PACKING HEAT made it seven wins from seven starts when victorious in the 10,000 to the winner Lee Strand 550-yard final at Tralee on Saturday night
Only moderate to begin he settled behind the early leaders Ballymac Pele (5) and Mc Razl (4) heading into the back straight but in a matter of a few strides Packing Heat moved second and was on the leaders tail.
Rated as one of Irelands most exciting prospects, he circled Ballymac Pele on the home turn and ran away to win by 3 lens in 30.02
The winner now unbeaten in seven career outings will be headed to the Race Of Champions in Tralee
Meanwhile some 300kms away at Shelbourne Park on the same night, Pumas daughter AAYAMZA EXPRESS finished strongly to qualify for the Group 1 Irish Oaks final.
Touted as a potential stayer Aayamza Express, finished over the top of the series favourite Forest Natalee, eliminating her, when third behind the flying Ballinakil Clare in a scorching 28.14 in the first semi final.
Aayamza recorded 28.44, a time that would have won every other race on the program, including the other semi which was run in 28.60
