EXCEED AND EXCEL Filly to be trained by TIM MARTIN


This is an opportunity to become a part owner in a regally bred filly being trained by one of Sydney's best trainers.
HER SIRE
This filly is by EXCEED AND EXCEL, who was Australian Champion Sprinter 2004. He won the Gr.1 VRC Newmarket Handicap and the Gr.1 MRC Invitation Stakes (in track record time) amongst his seven wins. As a sire, Exceed And Excel continues to do just that, having produced four Gr.1 winners to-date including triple Gr.1 winner HELMET and Blue Diamond winner, REWARD FOR EFFORT.
HER DAM
Her dam PARADISE LOST (Ire) is a daughter of Champion Sire and Champion Broodmare Sire, SADLER’S WELLS. Paradise Lost is bred on the exact same Sadler’s Wells / Darshaan cross as 5-time Gr.1 winner HIGH CHAPARRAL and triple Gr.1 winner ISLINGTON.
Paradise Lost is a half sister to four stakes winners including sire, AFFIDAVIT.
As a broodmare, Paradise Lost has produced three to race for three winners to-date.
TO BE TRAINED BY TIM MARTIN
Like EXCEED AND EXCEL, this filly will be trained by leading Rosehill mentor, Tim Martin. Not only did Tim train her sire, but he also trained horses such as Gr.1 winners REDOUTE’S DANCER, TYPHOON ZED and STORMHILL. He also has his name against such stakes horses as GONSKI, MURTAJILL, OH OKLAHOMA, FIBRILLATION, SPOT THE ROCK, ANEVAY, THE MIKADO, MONTON, LOHAN and INDIAN OCEAN.
As Tim said, “Like Exceed And Excel, this filly is a rich bay colour and also has his fabulous temperament.
I have always been keen to train his progeny, and to-date have had success with the likes of Anevay, an Exceed and Excel filly who was a very smart two year old, winning the Listed Talindert Stakes at Flemington.
I look forward to this filly entering my Rosehill stables and training for the OZ Racing syndicate.”
THIS FILLY IS BRED ON A HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL CROSS
Exceed And Excel’s triple Gr.1 winning son HELMET’s dam is a granddaughter of Sadler’s Wells, while our filly is out of a daughter of Sadler’s Wells.
In England, Exceed And Excel has produced four Group winners out of mares bred very similarly to this filly’s dam, Paradise Lost (Ire), who is by Sadler’s Wells out of a Darshaan mare.
Gr.1 winner MARGOT DID is out of a mare whose damsire is Darshaan, while Gr.2 winner INFAMOUS ANGEL is from a Sadler’s Wells mare which is out of a Darshaan mare. Gr.3 winner KLAMMER is out of a Darshaan mare and Gr.3 winner MRS KIPLING is a granddaughter of Sadler’s Wells.
HER CONFORMATION
This filly, born 21st September 2010, is a good sized, correct filly with an attractive head and good length of rein. She has good x-rays and a clear laryngeal scope. Have a look at this filly on the accompanying video...

Shares start at just $2,450 per 5%. Her price also includes registration to the lucrative BOBS scheme.

Mosayter's Progeny - Quality Not Quantity

Regally bred Storm Cat stallion MOSAYTER couldn't do better at Ascot on 30th March.  With only three runners to represent him at the feature meeting, his progeny, one aged 4 and two aged 6 years, won the first race and quinella-ed the fourth race.
Mosayter (USA)
Mickey Drippin, trained by Mosayter's part owner Kath Fleming, took out the 1500 metre event, recording his third win. Three races later, Felined posted her fourth win for trainer Paul Dyson over 1200 metres, narrowly defeating Rose, a 6 year old mare whose career had been interrupted by injury.  Previous to being beaten by Felined yesterday, Rose had been undefeated in four race starts. Racecaller Darren MacAulay noted Rose "a certainty beaten" and a star on the rise.
UPDATE: The following Saturday at Ascot, Mosayter had two runners on the program. Lightly raced 3yo Travinator won his second race from 3 starts and 4yo Solsay took out the next event, bringing his race record to 12 starts, 4 wins and 4 placings.
Mosayter, who was purchased and imported for his W.A.owners by Jane Henning Bloodstock, has only had 57 runners to represent him on the track in W.A. They have now earned over $1 million. Mosayter was relocated to NSW in 2010, where he now stands at Argyle Thoroughbreds near Orange. Stud owner Louise Ellis is thrilled with Mosayter's NSW born stock, which are now weanlings. She's looking forward to good continued support from breeders from around the state.

SOLD!! DANZERO Filly to be trained by BJORN BAKER

SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD !!!
This forward filly is by Golden Slipper winning stallion, DANZERO. Not only did he win a Slipper, but he's produced a Slipper winner in DANCE HERO as well as winners of Group 1 races such as the Australian Derby, Spring Champion Stakes, AJC Sire Produce, Champagne Stakes, VRC Salinger, STC Canterbury Guineas, VRC Australian Cup, MRC Futurity Stakes, WATC Fruit 'n' Veg, AJC Flight Stakes and STC Coolmore Classic!!
Over 63% of Danzero's runners win races, which is well above the average. Not only do they often win at two years, they train on for several seasons. Think NICONERO (raced until he was 8 years), JYMCAREW (9 years), DANCE HERO and ZERO ROCK (6 years).
The filly's dam, Best Intentions, is a 5-time victor and dual city winning mare by Royal Academy. Danzero is by Danehill, therefore this filly closely emulates the cross on which dual Group 1 winner and Champion Sire, FASTNET ROCK is bred (he's by Danehill out of a Royal Academy mare). 
Danzero himself has had success with Royal Academy's sire Nijinsky II, producing Group 2 winner SANZIRO and a further 8 stakes winners and placegetters on this cross.
Best Intentions has had three to race for three winners to-date.

Our filly is to be trained by Warwick Farm based mentor, Bjorn Baker. Recently relocated from New Zealand where he and his father were a formidable training partnership. Bjorn co-trained NOM DU JEU and LION TAMER, two horses which were flown to Australia for successful raids on our Group 1 races, scooping up the Australian Derby, the Victorian Derby, MRC Underwood Stakes and the Ming Dynasty Hcp between them.
Bjorn is thrilled to be asked to train this filly, which he describes as "a lovely big type with plenty of scope." Reports from the breaker Blair Richardson were very favourable. He says she's a lovely mover and did everything beautifully. The filly now goes to Bjorn's Warwick Farm stables for some further education.
This filly is BOBS eligible. The share price includes registration to this lucrative scheme. Following the recent court win by Racing NSW, there's never been a better time to race a horse in NSW, with prizemoney set to rise to $85,000 per Saturday race.
Get in quick with this filly - we have already sold 40% and at $3400 per 10% share ($1700 for 5%), she won't be lonely for long.

Put a Share in this Racehorse Under the Christmas Tree!

Ready To Race with top Victorian trainer GREG EURELL
This athletic three year old is ready to commence his racing career. 
He’s by Al Samer (a Group winning son of Redoute’s Choice) out of 5-time winner, Lunarism (by Naturalism). She is already the dam of two winners, both of whom have also been trained by Greg Eurell.  The trainer of Group One winners Apache Cat and Pinker Pinker had this to say about the Al Samer gelding:
 “I have trained two foals from this mare and been successful with both. His half brother Street Eclipse is still racing and has won and had 6 placings from 13 starts so far.  He’s been unlucky in not winning more to-date.
“There is no reason to suggest this horse will not be a winner too. He is by an up and coming stallion in Al Samer and is typical of that breed in appearance and type.
“This gelding is in his second preparation with us and has learnt his craft well, doing everything right. He has been given plenty of time and has improved markedly from his first prep. He’s very athletic and a great mover.
I look forward to making it three from three with his family.”  Greg Eurell.
Al Samer - Lunarism
The gelding is registered for the Super Vobis Scheme, giving owners bonuses of up to $40,000 on top of the usual prize money. 
Shares in this horse are very reasonably priced at $2,000 per 10% share.
Join the OZ Racing team – they have been putting together successful racehorse partnerships for over 14 years!

Examining Superior Runners by Non- Leader Board Stallions

It is always interesting to me when a sire who has been a little disappointing to-date - or in the past few years - throws up a classy racehorse.  What genetic kick in the ribs did the dam's pedigree give him?
A couple of cases in point are the recent stakes winners SOUTHERN SPEED, SKYERUSH and SINCERO.
Southern Image (USA)
Southern Speed is by Southern Image, a son of Halo's Image.  He stood out here for four seasons to 2009, his oldest being Southern Hemisphere four year olds.  To-date he's had 49 runners here for 23 winners, 22 of them vastly inferior to Southern Speed, winner of this year's Caulfield Cup.  What makes that mating tick?  Her dam Golden Eagle is by Zabeel - not only a leading broodmare sire but when combined with the pedigree of Southern Image, he creates a reverse Sir Ivor / Northern Dancer cross to that in Southern Image's dam.  Golden Eagle's damsire is Danehill, who was always touted as being a great cross for Southern Image.  He reinforces Halo on Southern Image's sire line, both tracing back to ALMAHMOUD, as does Danehill's grandsire Northern Dancer  (present three times in this mating).  Not only that, but his Northern Dancer / His Majesty cross is also present in Southern Image's dam.  A bit of Colonial speed is also injected via the tail female line, the granddam being a sister to Golden Slipper winner, Ha Ha.
Super Jet (USA)
Skyerush, recent winner of the Gosford Belle of the Turf Stakes (Listed), is by Super Jet, a beautifully bred son of Dayjur (Danzig) out of a granddaughter of a half sister to Mr. Prospector.  To-date he hasn't set the world alight, having produced 121 runners for 60 winners, however Skyerush is also Group 2 placed and four times Listed placed.  His next best runner is the Group 3 placed Afterburn.  Anybody with a grain of respect for the Rasmussen Factor or indeed merely sex balanced inbreeding, would think Skyerush's pedigree a very pretty mating.  Her sire Bellotto is a son of Mr,. Prospector, thereby creating 4f x 4m inbreeding to Mr. Prospector's dam Gold Digger.  Meeting up with his half sister Myrtlewood Lass on Super Jet's tail female line is a great pattern, complemented by the fact that Mr. Prospector also appears through a daughter (to sex balance the son, Bellotto) in Super Jet's sire, Dayjur.
Umatilla (USA)
While Sincero is by Umatilla, a stallion who has produced many classy runners over the years (19 Group winners), it's been a long time between drinks.  Four of Umatilla's six Group 1 winners were born in 1994, the other in 2000.  Recently deceased at the age of 23 years, Umatilla served his last mare in 2009.  In the year Sincero was conceived (2007) Umatilla produced a healthy 57 foals with fertility statistics over 85% in that year and all those preceding.  So what was special about As Always, dam of Sincero?
What caught Umatilla's genetic attention appears to be the presence of a sister to Umatilla's third dam, the predominant BEST IN SHOW, on As Always' tail female line. BEST IN SHOW is a taproot member of the TORPENHOW family, which is also represented in Umatilla's pedigree by his damsire, Nijinsky II.  It's interesting that another of Umatilla's Group 1 winners, Bohemiath, also carries Nijinsky II, creating sex balanced inbreeding to that icon.

A Great Week for Buyers of Mares Sold by Pedigree Dynamics

Just on a year ago, we advertised and sold an Irish bred mare named Finko (by Caerleon) in foal to Snippetson.
Finko (Ire)
Out of Rosefinch, a Group One winning mare over 2000 metres, Finko is also a half sister to a stakes winner over the same distance.  Her granddam Oh So Sharp was Top Filly on the European 3yo Classification, winning three Group Ones, being the English St. Leger, One Thousand Guineas and The Oaks.
On 12th October, Finko's Commands two year old JIMANDO became her first  stakes winner, scoring impressively in the Listed MRC Debutante Stakes at Caulfield.
Finko's owner Boyd Curran is understandably very pleased, especially as he now has a 'very nice' Snippetson yearling filly and the mare is about to foal to Dylan Thomas.
Jimando's trainer Tony McEvoy yesterday commented, ""His dam line says that he should be three and further and I never had any intentions of running him at two, but funny things happen with horses.” 
All we can say is congratulations to Finko's owners on an astute buy!
Rising Eagle


Late in 2009, Pedigree Dynamics sold Rising Eagle, a full sister to Ha Ha, with a lovely Host filly at foot and in foal to Snippetson.  On the 15th October, her new owner Robbie Proctor reaps the benefit of a boost to her pedigree when SOUTHERN SPEED won the Group One Caulfield Cup. She is out of Golden Eagle, a daughter of Rising Eagle.



Loving New (Brz)

Sourced, purchased and imported by Pedigree Dynamics for clients back in 2007, Loving New was Brazilian Champion 3 Year Old Filly, winning two Group Ones.
At the time of purchase, Loving New had produced one foal, Brazilian born QUESTING NEW, who has since become a Group One winner in that country.
Her first Australian bred foal was Dark Matter, a son of Stratum, sold as a yearling by Bellagio Lodge for $140,000. Purchased by Singaporean interests, the now 3 year old has had 4 wins, the latest on 15th October. Since his previous win, he finished second in the Group 2 Aushorse Golden Shoe.  His dam Loving New (Brz), now owned by Patinack, had a colt by Husson (Arg) this season, making him the product of an 'all South American' mating!

Start Looking Now!

Now is a great time to 'take stock' and assess whether you should be tweaking your Thoroughbred portfolio for the coming season.
If you are thinking of buying a stallion for 2012, start looking now before everyone else has the same idea.
The Aussie dollar is still strong and buying an overseas stallion or mare now is a sound plan.
Recent bloodstock sales in Europe and the USA experienced an upturn on the previous year and it's logical that ours will follow suit in the next year or so.
Locally, there are those looking to upgrade and others looking to sell.
If you have breeding stock, racehorses, young stock or stallions you either want to buy or sell, please give us a call!  We'd love to help you.

Mosayter's First NSW Produce Look the Goods

Mosayter foal and nanny
Blue-blooded sire MOSAYTER is producing some stunning stock out at Argyle Thoroughbreds' Central Tablelands (near Orange, NSW) property.
A dual UK winning son of Storm Cat from a Mr. Prospector half sister to two Group One winners (NASHWAN and NAYEF) and three other Group winners besides, Mosayter started his stud career in Western Australia.  After a few seasons of small books however, it was decided to better position the Sheikh Mohammed product for the market.
Owned by Pedigree Dynamics clients in Perth, we were asked to find Mosayter a new location last year.
Enter Louise Ellis from Argyle Thoroughbreds, who was looking for a foundation sire to service the growing number of Thoroughbred mares not only on-farm, but in the district.
Mosayter has been greeted with open arms by breeders in the area and these recent photos attest to the fact that he seems to be working well with local mares.
With strong, correct foals on the ground, many are sending their broodmares back to Mosayter for the 2011 season.
Mosayter has produced 16 winners to-date including a stakes place-getter and seven metropolitan winners.
**UPDATE** - Mosayter produced a metropolitan double at Ascot on 5th November.  Mr. Moet racked up his second consecutive win in 5 days, scoring as favourite in the 2100 metre event. This was his 5th career victory. Later on in the Summer Carnival program, Solsay, also favourite, landed a 1200 metre sprint, chalking up his third win in only 6 career starts.
