Impressive run last night at Warrnambool by PAPER SHREDDER (TTxFurtado) winning on debut in 22.11.
I believe this is TT's first pup to race? Promising start at stud.

As a race dog. A harder chaser you wouldn't find

Unfortunately with only a handful of litters on the ground he probably won't get the chance he deserves to prove himself. We are a fickle bunch, us breeders.

Not from nsw breeders anyhow ! Fired a week before wenty and a week after !
During trials and heat , he was horrible , and by DDO ? Going to guess he was wiped from most trainers in nsw that week .
Awesome dog of course , but sometimes its one run remembered for maybe all the wrong reasons ?

He will have little chance to be big thing with only 10 litters on the ground
He will need to get Group class dogs in most of the litters before anyone takes notice of him and uses him
But its good to see that Brendan Wheeler has supported him with a mating to beautifully bred proven Group producer Dyna Zesty

I couldn't find any decent nicks((>87% within 5gens), to some of the greats from the highly successful sires nicking with that damline or from the immediate dams on the sires sireline at a quick glance with that mating. Suppose I could have missed something ?

I'm sure something will surface if any good ones come out of his first crop of youngsters.
As Yaakov highlighted, one of his youngsters named Paper Shredder won at his first start a few days ago. Aptly named for the genetic buffs.....

Very funny Tony, but I was talking about the mating in Sandro's post not about Tiggerlong Tonk himself, just to clarify.
I was hoping to see if someone else had spotted anything I initially didn't with that particular mating in Sandro's post.
Just saying though Tony, if I were to market a stud I would only think it logical to follow one such paper shredders advice in acquiring suitable bitches with the hope of putting some odds in that studs favour. One way of doing that would be using the sires sister in a testmating, and linking sires that were successful in her damline with a possible broods damline.
May be a better way to get a new young sire established initially, than just hoping "...something will surface...." ?

22.11 is a hot time on debut. And he looks like he'll get the 450 with ease too.
