Bianconi Continues To Deliver |
|
Monday, 23 November 2009 |
 Bianconi They can boast Bianconi as their sire.Then when a country winner in Western Australia and two in New South Wales are added into the mix, a lot was achieved in a short space of time. To say that Bianconi the 16.2 hand son of the diminutive Danzig, is the most consistent sire in Australia at present is far from an overstatement. |

50 Individual Winners in Australia in 107 days |
|
Wednesday, 18 November 2009 |
Monday was a strange day 16.11.09 with not a single Bianconi winner in racing around Australia. After 10 winners in 6 days the horse was certainly on a big run. Last season 2008-09 Bianconi had 91 individual winners in Australia. Of these 24 were multiple winners. So his effort to chalk up individual winner number 50 in less than a third of the season is a very solid effort, especially as already 13 of these are multiple winners. In fact a quick look at the Arion figures to Nov 15th produced in ANZ Bloodstock News 17.11.09 shows how well he is going in comparison to all the big stallions: Top 5 Stallions in Australia by Winners: General Nediym 53 winners 155 runners $1,268,755 Commands 53 winners 166 runners $1,719,904 More Than Ready 51 winners 144 runners $2,074,235 Bianconi 50 winners 139 runners $1,218,882 Testa Rossa 50 winners 149 runners $1,680,115 Top 20 Stallions in Australia by Winners to Runners % (over 100 runners): Choisir 36.19% Bianconi 35.97% Show A Heart 35.51% More Than Ready 35.42% Hussonet 35.00% General Nediym 34.19% Testa Rossa 33.56% Lonhro 33.33% Viscount 32.48% Commands 31.93% Iglesia 31.34% Bel Esprit 30.91% Flying Spur 30.23% Redoute’s Choice 28.48% Danehill Dancer 26.62% Catbird 25.95% Exceed & Excell 25.86% Encosta de Lago 25.26% Fasliyev 24.76% Strategic 24.76% |

Silent stars, but bank on Robber to give his all |
|
Saturday, 14 November 2009 |
 Bank Robber
The awesome turn of foot the six-year-old showed to come from last stamped him as Australia’s best sprinter/miler.
But less than a length behind him on the line was a horse who is arguably one of Australia’s toughest in that category, and perhaps most underrated.
The horse in question is Bank Robber who finished third, a head behind boom three-year-old Wanted.
At five, Bank Robber has had 15 starts, seven of them in Group 1 races. While he is yet to win at the highest level, he has weighed in on five of those seven occasions.
Bank Robber’s gutsy placings bring back memories of his sire, Dash For Cash , who ran second in each of his last four starts, all in Group 1 races, over five weeks in two states from 1200m to 1600m, after leading at the 200m. |

 Anna Dana With Foal at Foot By Soldier's Tale
The two standout stallions this Spring have surely been the Street Cry the sire of Melbourne Cup winner Shocking and Shamardal the sire of Faint Perfume winner of the VRC Oaks.
Street Cry is a multiple Group 1 winning stallion by Machiavellian from the Group 1 winning Troy mare Helen Street and is currently the leading Australian sire this season.
Shamardal, a multiple Group 1 winning stallion, is by Giant's Causeway from Helsinki who is a stakes placed full sister to Street Cry.
Therefore it comes as no surprise that in Kentucky yesterday Vin Cox Bloodstock paid US$735,000 for Lot 101 Tears I Cry a mare closely related to both standout stallions and in foal to 2009 Horse of the Year Curlin.
Tears I Cry is a stakes winner by Chester House from Mount Helena. Mount Helena is by Danzig from Helen Street making her a half-sister to both Street Cry and Helinski.
Swettenham Stud purchased a full sister to Tears I Cry, Anna Dana, in 2008 and she is pictured with a filly foal at foot by Soldiers Tale (at 6 days old). Anna Dana has recently been served (20/09/09) and been confirmed in foal to Kaphero.
With strong bloodlines like this Anna Dana is sure to give both Kaphero and Soldier's Tale, Swettenham Stud's youngest stallions, an enormous kick start to their careers at stud. |
