So true Spike . Wag Star poor thing never been the same and MM too after finishing 4th in the Rowe Cup . Even though he won the previous start he struggled and it was a poor field

Maximus in the Thoroughbred Cafe section raises the point that Ka Ying rising, Mr Brightside and El Vencedor have a common pedigree pattern which illustrates the importance of strong female families. Both Ka Ying Rising and Mr Brightside go back on the female line directly to the great broodmare Tiaona ( one of Sir Patrick Hogan's great mares). El Vencedor has a Sovereign Red mare on his bottom line --SR is from Taiona.

Yes, correct. TAIONA (SIR TRISTRAM-VICKYJOY) was bred and owned by lady Justine Hogan. SOVEREIGN RED appears in the pedigree of EL VENCEDOR's dam STRICTLY MATERNAL; both KA YING RISING and MR BRIGHTSIDE are direct descendants of TAIONA (mother also of 1982 Caulfield-Melbourne Cup winner GURNER'S LANE, TRICHELLE ...) What a broodmare!

Can't find the recent thread but ask if the times can be trusted. Apart from the hand-timing, races of 1,200 metres down the chute seem to produce times not compatible with other distances on the same days. Assume that the chute is not watered as the proper course, and not used as much, but wonder if the measurement is very acurate. High Glee ran 1:08 for six furlongs, about 60 years ago, and now under 1:07 can be achieved but times for olnger distances don't seem to have improved to a similar degree. -

Taiona, the dam of Sovereign Red, Gurner's Lane and Delia's Choice. with Foxwood, Opposing Forces, Will Power and Mr. B. nearby. Ka Ying Rising looks to be an exceptional horse, perhaps the class of Black Caviar? -
Watch his drive on Brewster Baker yesterday - his hemorrhoids playing up again from the 400 and horse flies to bits

I agree totally - seen so many horses butchered and never came back to their full potential. Wag Star - Mark Hurrel at Addington twice - looked like a top liner - now battling Muscle Mountain - Ben Hope Rowe Cup - never been the same since that butchery Always Dreaming - Nathan Williamson - lost close to 200m and yet won - never been the same since Very Majestic - Reilly Harrison - must have been 200m of the leader at one stage at Addington - chased to run 2nd or 3rd - has no zip now Does this mean they are all awful drivers - they certainly didn't see what future affect it would have on their horses
