Congratulations to all the connections of Good News a great run by a great dog. I am sure that all the management of the IGB will be in church tomorrow thanking God that Holland didn't win!

Well done to all involved.
[Pawnote: It's hard to miss the "Australian influence" in the dog's pedigree too ... Surf Lorian as grand-sire; then Brett Lee & 2 x Top Honcho in the mix!]

Helped by some of Irelands finest dam lines.....Security Susan, Code Dancer.....a Double of Perrys Pusher Dianas Ranger and Mountleaders Ruth
Not to mention fine breeders in the Kennedy Family and Trainers in the Guilfoyles.......more to a great Derby winner than a few sires :)

That is so true, Yvonne, it's the WHOLE picture that counts. Surf Lorian is one of my favourite sires in Oz. He is heavily inbred, perfect for nice bitches of outcross blood. Helps if they are nice bitches. For those that use him, Definate Opinion, and maybe now this boy, Good News, over some nice bitches you will reap the rewards. For the small part of the equation the sire is responsible for, SL had the ability to intro the X factor...seems that is continuing down the line...great to see.
Congrats to connections of Good News. All the hard work has been rewarded and you now will live on cloud 9.
The influence of Staplers Joe, (so obvious) is missed here. can,t think of a sire, who was in a in his era,', league of his own',producing bitches, equal and better than their male opponents. subsequently, a huge influence on broods, large dose of e,p.
he 'appears', 4 times and is the effective bottom 'brood sire' of 'Good News.

Any chance someone could put up a link for the replay, please?
Super dog , One of the great Derby winners. Congrats to the owners and to Pat.
It took some guts to refuse 34000 euro for him in the sales , to recognise the ability of this dog from day one , the training expertise to get him to the final and the calmness to get him over the line.
Well done to all and I hope he runs in all the big ones next year.

Mick: Massive Aussie influence in this dogs breeding, sad Yvonne is so defensive towards the Irish Damlines. Little unknown Aussie dog in their called Brett..Something. Heard he could go Ok! Takes two to complete the job Yvonne. We are happy for the connections, why close us out?
