All good Graham.
Were all taking about the past. Lets make it interesting and look at one for the future. Im very keen to give my bitch Ballinderry Girl a chance in the breeding barn.
Firstly, where does she sit as far as inside the square or outside the square? Shes not a city winner, but multiple city placed, with a city class run home of 12.79. So, goes into the category of the earlier list I posted.
My opinion is shes outside the square. Because, everyone has banged on in here about city winners...the perfect type etc
Now she was a bit of a bludger, but not that hard core iffy type. She did have good genuine early speed when she wanted to use it. Ref her at Warragul against Feluki Donna a 29.50 Sand winner. Ballinderry Girl picked her up in 2 strides and once she caught her just jogged to the line. So by no means a lost cause as a brood.
The mating Im going to definitely do at some stage is West On Augie. Any comments? Is it a good mating, can it work, is it inside or outside the square, what am I looking to do in this mating.
Well all be able to come back and see how close to the mark I was...

Can't wait to see this breeding happen. Now that's what I call a brave "outside the square" mating.

West on Augie all good no negatives That I can see. Your brood is in the square, nothing unorthodox just not a city winner. ( but close) Thumbs up from Graham

Not many takers on looking into the future? So heres my reasoning...
West On Augie x Ballinderry Girl
Firstly, I like the idea of putting hard chasing early pace into Ballinderry Girl to correct her fault. As consistent lid pinging and running yourself into the ground is the most genuine of chase IMO. West On Augie was as good as there was for consistency in that aspect! So many 1111 in his races!
The duplication even triple shot of Spiral Nikita is huge in Ireland. Especially when reinforced with Little Diamond UK - Lenson Bocko, Music Toour Ears, Vancouver, Droopys Trapper, Blue East, Nadurra Ross, Antigua Rum etc
Line-breeding Rumble Spirit...Follow Through is extremely well proven both sides of the world. It also, reinforces what made Droopys Hope...the huge cross between Rumble Spirit and Little Diamond UK - Boylesports Xtra, Rio Quattro, Deerfield Music, Droopys Twirl and Droopys Hope etc
Hallucinate / Little Diamond UK - Aulton Jet, Frieda Las Vegas, Blue East
Having said that theyre the blatantly obvious and what anyone can see...so all a bonus to what Im really trying to do with this mating.
I.E replicate what made both her 1/2 sister Frieda Las Vegas (almost identical pattern). As well as Space Star and Tornado Tears.
The latter Space Star / Tornado Tears in a similar vein and pattern to how Golden Slipper winner Kiamichi was bred from a very cheap non-commercial no name sire (Sidestep) on the reverse cross of Bletchingly and Ammo Girl that produced Hall Of Fame Champion mare Emancipation.
Ballinderry Girl sired by Bekim Bale reverse crossed with a very large part of what made Space Star is carried in West On Augie!
Bekim Bale whose proving an excellent dam sire crossed with Fernando Bale produces 44% city winners to pups born. As opposed to #1 sire Fernando Bale produces 20% city winners to pups born to any random blood.
In keeping with the theme of the topic. I cant justify paying (Fernando Bale) $6600-8800 for a sire in general. When you can and has been shown in this topic breed champs away from those stud fees. Nonetheless the enormous cross between Fernando Bale and Bekim Bale is catered for in the sire line to put a large part of the make up of Tornado Tears in play in this pedigree.
How many saw all that?
Now to see if I can add to my stats?
15 (3 purchased /12 bred) litters in 20 years
City / Group class dogs Ive individually bred/purchased PM approx. $750,000
I think if you want to achieve all that I would wait until this bloke retired

West On Augie is about as close as youll get to replicating Space Star and Tornado Tears to a Bekim Bale brood.
As much as Bekim Bale has shown to be an excellent dam sire:
Fernando Bale to all breeds has a 20% city winners to pups born. However, to a Bekim Bale brood it goes up to 44%
Flip side...
Barcia Bale to all breeds has a 16% city winners to pups born. However, to a Bekim Bale brood it drops by half to only 8%.
Now a generation back its too early to tell if the % will strengthen up? But, theyre not good to Barcia Bale at present for me to want to risk that aspect. Along with all the other inbreeding.
I reckon West On Augie looks pretty good for what I mentioned Im really trying to achieve in the mating.
I have had another good look at it the other night based on my own statistics and I am not that enraptured with it
You should just do the West On Augie mating seeing you have done all the research for it

Interestingly, the cross between COSMIC RUMBLE to dams that are either by COLLISION (61) or COLLIDE (6) has been performed 67 times & only produced 9 Group Finalist, 2 of which won. Crackerjack Choc G2 & Black Hole Sun G3. From 445 pups from these matings, I wouldn't call that stat a success. Proven yes, but a dud in my book.

Steves got the cleaver out already haha.
You never acknowledged the ...Follow Through. So I was referring to all combos worldwide. How do the full stats come out? My one is further removed. So youd expect the % to increase as it recedes into a pedigree.
But, if you read fully what I said...it was the bonus to the mating. Not what I am really trying to do I.E 2 sec line-breeding!! Im first and foremost trying to replicate the pedigree of Frieda Las Vegas and Space Star / Tornado Tears!! Can you see that Steve??
Thanks for the extra info Graham!

I doubt 20% of all of Fernando's pups born have won in the city
And definitely Barcia Bale would not be that high either. The majority of his winners are under 500m.
The best that Brett Lee ever got to was 1 in 6 or 16.66% and that was using Razordot's stats who said it used to take him weeks to do
Have you done all that, because that is a major job to do? He used to look at the race record of each individual dog born.
If you are relying on Greyhound Recorder stats that say 20% for this year that is number of city wins divided by races they have contested.
That is still a commendable statistic but that is not what you are trying to apply.
938 pups raced in the city and have had 7443 starts for 1495 wins, the latter two numbers gives you the 20%.
Not all of the 938 pups have won, you would need to go and check the race record of every individual pup born, like Razordot used to do
Fernando would have over 2000 pups of racing age going back to Vol 64 of the Stud Book
Thats a big job Darren....
20% of Fernando Bale pups that make the track/make a city track win the race, that's not saying 20% of pups born win

It's easy for one to jump the gun but Darren, no cleaver here. I just thought my statisics may interest you. I release the X is further back in your pedigree so hopefully it will produce better results, which I believe, should be the case. Put it this way, it couldn't get any worse. I also posted my results so other members could make their own evaluation, should they be contemplating such a mating.

All good Steve! Im a lot different being 4 x 5
Would be interesting to see the stats on everything done 3 x 3. Do you have a great % on anything done 3 x 3.

Name your sire list (any amount) as the bitches are easy.
Do you have questions about breeding theories?
