Super quick sections. Brilliant turn of speed. Liked a bit of room.

Not wrong there. The luck of the game Orchestrate fulfils his destiny. Merchant Navy only gets 24 starts - with a list of injuries, removed back toe, career ending broken hock and final demise death by twisted bowel.

Unfortunately that's racing, it can be super rewarding but can also be heartbreaking. Got a broodie who broke in unbelievable and hurt herself in a on track accident. Yet her first start she beat a dog that went on the win 250k and run 2nd in the 715 and towards the end of her very brief career she beat a dog that ended up 11 starts 10 wins and a 2nd and a dog that a couple of starts prior went 29.5 at wenty. To make things even worse her first litter a daughter broke in good and had a on track accident too which is likely to restrict her from ever racing. But you have to take the good with the bad
Regarding Orchestrate, he was a group 1 winner and a very fast dog. Admittedly it's a very flooded market for Barcia Bale sons and Orchestrate isn't really on top of the go to list because there's already so many proven producing Barcia Bale sons in Australia. But unless there's Aston Dee Bee or Shima Shine straws in Ireland/England Orchestrate is a very good sire choice and deserves plenty of matings. His connections just seen he was joining a very flooded market in Australia and made the smart decision to send him to a less crowded market for Barcia Bale sons. But he's far from Australias reject or anything, he was a seriously talented animal

In six words you said it better than I could in six sentences of pure dribble ; )

Matt,
That is just an outstanding summary/synopsis of the dog.
Apart from being a son of Barcia, his dam line also stands up to close scrutiny, and, with that mixture of Premier Fantasy in his genes, the smart Irish breeders who know who PF clicks with could have a bonanza on their hands.

Do you have questions about breeding theories?
