Mick ... another top class dog from the Representation damline .. raced at 38kgs so he's a very big dog and a grandson of Brett Lee (x Trent Lee) .. he and his half brother Need My Moneynow, have dominated the Gulf track in Texas for the last 2 years. Need My Moneynow won the 2016 Daytona Invitation and has 80 wins from his 114 starts .. interestingly he's nowhere near as big as his 1/2 brother only weighing in at 30kgs
I think Seldom Told is back racing at Jacksonville after having FS collected in Texas. Of those 20 matings, his studmaster Ken Biehle used him 5 times and quite a few of the local Texas breeders did as well so he's off to a good start

Geoff You appear to be the man with inside knowledge of the American scene , any information on what class of dog SH Avatar is producing in the states . Regards Ray
Interesting that DJays' Octane is still recording big numbers in the States, but over here, he has had only 14 litters since 1st July 2015
Only guessing Sandro but I think he produces not a bad average of winners ... Not the best by a long shot ... But does produce!!! I think also he produces a greyhound that physically is second to none ... Soundness and conformation is a strength !! Mannerisms which are high on importance in the US,are also exceptional... Imop longevity for future generations I think he might be held in good regard !! Once again just an opinion ... While Aust likes a quick hit eg magic Sprite !!! I'm pretty sure US would not appreciate his traits .... Eg can be injury prone!!! Djay has not started with a boom as bella infrared or also looks promising kc and all and soon Sh avatar!!! But I still have faith in him and if not his direct runners maybe his broods could be invaluable!!! Once again it depends what your searching for in yr mate ... We are all different .. Countries included !!! I'm pretty sure if u had a djays litter Sandro , you would have a soft spot for them !! 14 litters in a year ... How many straws were there to begin with ??? I'm not sure ... Personally I think everyone has made their mind up ... Each to their own!!! I love him and appreciate his qualities Best of luck Sandro ... I know your a master !!! Regards always
Ps there's a runner in every race tonight at Cranbourne!!! Have a look at his finishing traits .... I'll probably look like an idiot now... but anyway I see strength !!!

Southland is our highest-paying track and his pups are built for the extra distance and big sweeping bends of Southland just like he was.

Michael,
Storm Control had very good early pace and was a great turn runner. His only weakness on our surfaces was late speed. He would get little interest from American breeders who have become focused on the kind of strength it takes to win at Southland, now our premier track which is 533 meters. He reminds me a little of Hondo Black in that regard.
Superior Product was a stronger dog than Storm Control. Perhaps not as good early pace. He is about as well-bred as a dog can be over here. His sire line is the number one topline in America. KC And All is the hottest sire in the 'States right now. His strike rate of major stakes stars is incredible. SP's damline descends from the Yurituni branch of Dalton's Millies May line. TNT Star Wars daughters have been spectacularly productive. Roosters Spur is another terrific damsire.
