It is very interesting that Paul Wheeler and his late, great dad Allan are always looked upon as the gurus of breeding in this country and I for one agree.
But, it is always believed Paul, in particular, is the standard for outcrossing when this is hardly the case and very often so.Let's start with the foundation bitch of the Wheeler empire GAIL'S BEAUTY
This is her pedigree https:/ CLICK HERE
The first thing you will notice is that she is line bred to the half relations Top Linen and Tassin both out of the famous broodbitch Brenda Gay. But, she was also beautifully balanced to Chief Havoc via two daughters and a son. Almost all of the Gail's Beauty damline stems from her daughter the very fine stayer Dynabolt. This is her pedigree. https:/ CLICK HERE
Yes, she is a daughter of the import Proper Streak.
What would the Wheeler family need to do with Dynabolt when mating her ... bring back more of the Brenda Gay family.
So they put Dynabolt to The Smoother who carries a cross of Top Linen in his damline. It introduced a 2x2 cross of Smooth Rapid and Gail's Beauty both of who are bred on the same Top Linen/Rocket Jet cross but balanced. In Smooth Rapid, Top Linen and Rocket Jet come via DAUGHTERS. In Gail's beauty they come via SONS.
The result of mating of The Smoother-Dynabolt was EMILINE BALE a Group 1 performer. This is her pedigree. https:/ CLICK HERE
So, when it came to mating Emiline Bale, the Wheelers (Allan in those days) was naturally drawn to the greatness of Temlee. The litter of Temlee-Emiline Bale produced the Wheeler family's very first GREAT champion in twice NSW GOTY the sprint star WINIFRED BALE (a member of the Aust hall of fame), but also her brother Billy Bale, but also the grand Gwendalyn Bale and Indiana Bale ... all Group stars. This is the pedigree of Winifred Bale. https:/ CLICK HERE
What must stand out is the fact Temlee is in-bred to Top Linen and his sister Brenda's Daughter. AND, what we already know is that Emiline Bale is HUGELY in-bred to the very same family, as is her mother and her 3rd mother. If this is not a fabulous example of "BREEDING TO COMMON FEMALES", then what is? OH, and by the way. If we look at the pedigree of Mepunga Blazer, the Alb Pk TR breaker and G1 winner ... his direct damline traces to a bitch called Mystic Therase who just happens to be by Indiana Bale.
Mepunga Blazer's 4th dam Mepunga Silk is in-bred 2x2 to Osti's Magic and Indiana Bale who are a fabulous balance for each other. They are both bred on the cross of The Smoother/Temlee ... but in reverse.
If we look closely at the pedigree of Mepunga Blazer (Barcia Bale-Mepunga Nicky) ... https:/ CLICK HERE
You will see his sire Barcia Bale carries a cross of Lansley Bale in his damline. Trace the direct damline of Lansley Bale and we come across none other than WINIFRED BALE ... positioned to impact with her half brother Indiana Bale in Blazer's direct damline. If this is not a fabulous example of "BREEDING TO COMMON FEMALES", then what is? To go even further, Mepunga Blazer's best progeny to date includes Shima Classic whose mother is by Dyna Tron (who carries Lansley Bale in his damline) to again reinforce the same common females in Blazer's own pedigree. This is the pedigree of SHIMA CLASSIC. https:/ CLICK HERE
