From a great damline with superb Oz colonial bloodlines. There aren't too many sires with a double Ginger that close up. Great choice for an outcrossed brood.
Thank you Hayden.

I don't normally buy into these sorts of arguments and I have nothing to do with Smart Missile other than to admire the pedigree that was put together to produce him (and his outstanding litter sister Duna Runna a Group placegetter and VERY fast Wentworth Park winner) Yes, he is in-bred 3x3 to the litter brothers Black Shiraz and Big Ginger Boy. BUT, the real strength of his pedigree is that Nitro Burst, his sire, and the very good producer Oh Behave (his 2nd dam) are bred on an identical cross ... from the sireline of brothers and out of dams by Hotshot. What this did was reduce the gene pool greatly to common and dominant ancestors to produce a Group star. And it brought in Nitro Burst and Oh Behave 1x2 and positioned to HUGELY influence upon the resultant offspring (Smart Missile and his classy sister). But there is MUCH more to it that just that. Both Nitro Burst and Oh Behave trace directly to the same broodbitch Marungi Girl. This, of course, is the famed direct damline of Brett Lee and Big Daddy Cool and I doubt ANYONE can argue they have been a huge influence upon pedigrees in Ireland. I would think Smart Missile should be mated to bitches with as much Brett Lee or Big Daddy Cool in their pedigree as possible. Nitro Burst's other great race dog Zambora Brockie has a cross of Trendy Leigh (litter brother to Brett Lee) in his damline so is thus bred on the same Marungi Girl reinforcement as Smart Missile. But, my belief on the reason why Smart Missile can also be a success at stud in Ireland is also based around his damsire Premier Fantasy who is powerfully positioned to impact upon any and every mating Smart Missile has. You should know that Premier Fantasy is hugely in-bred to both the Skipping Chick family (via his sireline through Skelligs Tiger) and Daleys Gold in his damline, but also carries Wise Memory and Murlens Chill who are from the very same female family. When both of these lines were reinforced within a pedigree it produced Fear Zafonic the English Greyhound of the Year, but many, many of Premier Fantasy's best progeny are bred along these themes. Ireland and England are SATURATED with the bloodlines of both these families so it will be very easy to bring it to the fore via matings to Smart Missile. This is what it is all about when importing stud dogs. There should be common links to a great number of the families found in the stud dog's new home. Top Honcho appeared to be a complete outcross, but trace his direct damline and you come to the same female family as Pigalle Wonder etc ... which is EVERYWHERE in Ireland and England. I would think Smart Missile would be ideal for mating to daughters of Kinloch Brae as well to bring in a powerful cross of the genetic brother Fortress and Murlens Slippy. This is a cross found in Kinloch Brae's top class son Ballymac Vic (sire of 1st and 3rd in the recent G1 English Derby). I do not believe the Bombastic Shiraz influence in Smart Missile is his PLUS for success in Ireland. It matters nought in regards to his chances of success at stud in Ireland. But, Premier Fantasy certainly does. Ireland and England are absolutely saturated with the bloodlines of Premier Fantasy and it was a very wise person, whomever it was, who imported him for stud there. On the racetrack he was a flying machine winning a Group race and running a track record and being of the highest standard of race dog in Australia. Food for thought!

If this straw is not to be sent overseas, what do I do with your superb description to mate for the Irish?

Monika there is an abundance of irish blood(lines) in Australia - Premier Fantasy Fear Zafonic Larkhill Joe et al - All this in addition to the lines of Brett Lee, Big Dady Cool, Head Bound and a number of other colonials.
You could of course send your bitch over here for the mating (just joking)

Hi Monika, this particular straw was drawn and met the requirements for the Australian market. To import a straw from Australia it would have to meet the requirements and standards of the country if was to be exported to.
I am not sure if Irish Stud Keepers have imported straws of Smart Missile.
