I think Dixie by KO! (Stay down Matty, your only going to get hurt worse)
Nah I'm not too worried about Dixies opinion, I'll have some fun and keep things going for a little bit longer. Fernando bale has good and bad qualities, just unfortunately Dixie will only see the good aspects for the next 12-18 months until he gets burnt by owning one of his pups
And I'm aware you're gonna be a Fernando bale fan for obvious reasons Terry
But to keep things going I'll add to Dixies list 9/10 are born without nuts
I'm all over that one already it's on the list.
"Cryptorchidism is the absence of one or bothtestesfrom thescrotum."
Incredible to see the self proclaimed experts add to the list of ridiculous statements. "9/10 are born without nuts" PFFT. It's ill-informed uneducated comments like that that perpetuate this ridiculous anti FB rhetoric.

I've never claimed to be a genius or expert
I'll admit I'm not a Fernando Bale fan, but I have formed a opinion on him based on what I've seen/experienced. If you have been lucky enough to only own his good pups you're obviously going to think different of him

'WRONG" i purchased 5 Fernando pups from a litter of 12 and out of a proven Broody and they couldn't run out of sight in a FOG in fact the whole litter were Slugs, but i've been around long enough to know that even champion sires can produce slow pups.Some matings just don't work !!!! Fernando is a Champion Sire no doubt about it !!!! He reminds me so much of a former great that was a race track star and leading sire in N.S.W. for seven consecutive years !!!!

I certainly believe one of your statements, you definitely aren't a genius or expert lol
Honestly what a ludicrous statement "9/10 are born without nuts". In your defence it's true that half of his pups don't have balls, mainly because they are bitches. Likewise you're right no male pup has decended testicles at birth. But it's urban myths like this that can flourish in this industry. Unless you have evidence you should probably retract this comment.

No Fernando Bale is a good singer, but as much as this will probably upset Dixie he's not too flash on the drums or guitar
Fernando still gets his fair share of groupies though ;)

I'll be 100% honest, I didn't read what you had written properly and only threw out the 9/10 don't have nuts line to get a bite, so I'll happily retract that statement. He does get a portion of pups without testicles but no it wouldn't be 9/10

Don't worry they can sing alright.
I had a 14 month old pup here at my place that would have made Lady Gaga proud!!

I have been following Greyhounds for 60 years. I doubt whether there has been one better.

257 of the 1051 races at Sandown in 2020 were won Fernando Bale progeny. Around 25% of the prize money too.

Not a group race. Fernando Bale Daughter won the Corporate Challenge Final Ipswich last night beating a good field. Gutsy pace and chase performance Congratulations to all connections.

Don't worry mate, I've been thoroughly enjoying your recent successes too, Ricky ;-)
I'm the first to admit I'm head cheer leader of the FB fan club. Mind you my first post back was highlighting the fact his damline isn't juggernaut it was a decade ago. It's definitely a Sire Line now. To his credit PW has been wise enough to tap into other lines recently.

Do you have questions about greyhound racing?
