Read the article on GRV website today about Zara's win. Thought she's a flyer and was shocked to see Kel say he believed her brother Billy's entity would be faster.. Seen he had his debut around circle track tonight over 390m. Jumped well and took off winning in 22.17. Maybe Kel will be right. Hit the line very very hard. Def one too keep an eye on. This may be her best litter Michael?

hi jack , its funny how things can turn around when (1) you dont listen to people who know less than you ,
(2) you stop buying pups and dogs from liars thieves and scum
(3) you stop getting pups reared by so called top rearers especially in nsw
(4) you rear your own and take your chances ,
(5) you whelp your own where , when you get a litter 99% of them survive , instead of paying a Lazy whelper when one day you have 10 pups the next day you have 5
mayb one day we will get back that $1.76 million jack lol

Congratulations Mick & Maureen on Zara's GROUP Win.
Did I read somewhere that you were thinking about retiring from the industry soon lol.
Good luck with that thought....especially over the coming years of watching Zara racing & winning (touchwood).
Cheers Steve.

Not wrong. Amazing effort from Billy. He is no doubt my favourite dog to watch. So thrilling seeing dogs come from behind.

Hi Michael,
Serious girl you have with Zara's Entity. Amazing racer and hope she can win the Classic for you tomorrow. Given you are the expert on the line, just hoping you can give me some advice as far as a future mating of Gotham Queen. You have previously suggested Black Magic Opal. As soon as we realised how talented she was (approximately 6 months ago), we got a breeding assessment done by Pedigress by Design and he suggested a number of potential options with Collision, Cosmic Rumble, Walk Hard, Unlawful Entry, Worm Burner and My Bro Fabio given as options based on the duplication of Spiral Nikita within the breeding. What are your thoughts on those matings? Given affordability and best matchings in my wife and my mind we are leaning to My Bro Fabio closely followed by Worm Burner and Unlawful Entry. Any advice would be much appreciated.
hi sean, you have been given a few options there ,
my bro fabio has been used with alarm bells , results should be known in six months ,
after being burned a few times i dont even look at unproven sires , quite happy to pay the extra once proven , i like unlawful entry, we owned his mother , reared her from 3 months raced her , then sold her to anthony mc vicker as a brood bitch , (of course thats a bias opinion on him ) i hear walk hard pups breakin easy and chase hard ,,
we have used collision with lola's entity (6 months old )
im not sure on duplication of spiral nakita , but if you were keen on it id have a look at milldean panther ,
but for me i still like black magic opel for her , but may be too expensive for a first time litter,
congratulations on your win at longwood , and i see billy's bake also won on the card ,,
just one final thought sean,, send a message to steve martin and ask his thoughts on a sire for her, he is a hive of information in regards to breedings , and unlike some other so called experts , he is hands on , and a good bloke as well , tell him i asked you to contact him , cheers mick
ps , were are hoping ZARA can negotiate the track a little better than she did last week after hitting the rail pretty hard , box 4 in finals is always hard , we are also looking forward to the return of benny's entity after a layoff with an injury,he is unbeaten in his two starts to date
sean, here a little read for you , sent to me by richard gray EXTERNAL LINK

Huge run by Shaun's entity for his Sa debut. Abit of trouble early but then took off to put 10 1/2 on the field easily. He's gonna be one to watch that's for sure.

Zara's entity first look at APK in prep for Adel cup runs a sizzling 29.29. If that wasn't a look enough night for girl aloud offspring Zara's brother has made it 2/2 in Sa and first crack in town won by 8 in a best of night run winning in 29.69... Huge run.
