The Journal's breeding expert Peter Roselooks at the figures.LINEBREEDING to outst<strong>and</strong>ing studdogs has always been one of most popularbreeding methods.Usually the champion sires can besuccessfully doubled-up but this is not alwaysthe case. At the moment many breeders areof the opinion linebreeding to New Tears hasnot proved as successful as hoped.New Tears (Pretty Short-Starfire Lady)sired 511 litters <strong>and</strong> from these he produced405 city winners or one in every 1.26 litters.They won 1440 city races. He also sired 80feature winners which is one every 6.39 litters.These figures make him one of the mostsuccessful sires to have stood in Australia.Some of his best include Light Of Fire,Roanokee, Gallant Ruler, Henry H<strong>and</strong>, NewFox, Northern Legend, Proper Tears, SobbingSal, Trojan Tears, Tardy Tears, Bundy Cane,Tinahue, Under Thunder <strong>and</strong> Zazziam.Looking at the offspring of the sons ofNew Tears, very close linebreeding doesn’tappear to have brought much success.One notable exception is BlackComm<strong>and</strong>o (Zazziam-Imagine), who had a2x2 cross as both his parents were by NewTears. Black Comm<strong>and</strong>o won the 1999 EasterCup in Hobart <strong>and</strong> then raced well in Victoriawhere one of his victories was a sub-30second gallop at S<strong>and</strong>own Park.Ebony Ghost (Casual Encounter-BurningGhost) was a good Albion Park performer<strong>with</strong> a 2x2 cross of New Tears.We’ll look at the progeny of stud dogs<strong>with</strong> New Tears in the 2nd <strong>and</strong> 3rd generations<strong>and</strong> compare the results of Eastern states citywinners, feature winners, track recordholders, etc. <strong>with</strong> their normal statistics.Brett Lee (Gun Law Osti-Sobbing Sal, byNew Tears) is arguably the highest profilestud dog in Australia.He has had 29 litters to bitches who alsohad New Tears in their pedigree <strong>and</strong> 16 ofthose 29 bitches produced 32 individual citywinners as well as seven feature winners <strong>and</strong>five track record holders.That is an amazing strike rate <strong>and</strong> evenbetter than his overall figures <strong>with</strong> any bitch.His best litters containing the double-uphave come from the following bitches:Young Daisy, dam of top stayer Arvo’sAthena (2004 Carnival Cup (Spk), etc);Emma’s Angel, dam of Convincing Lee(TR Albion Park 395m) <strong>and</strong> Donaghadee (TRLaunceston 515m);Stunning Osti, dam of Fearless Osti (TRYoung 347m), Irinka Doll (2004 NSWCountry Puppy Classic), Midnight Sloy (2005Appin Opal);Secret No More, dam of Miss Sheenalee(2005 Rapid Pursuit (Wpk));Owner Denise Davies <strong>with</strong>champion sire New Tears.Flojo Tears, dam of the brilliant Over Flo(2005 Peter Mosman Mem (Wpk), etc);Floodfawn, dam of the classy BlackChantilly <strong>and</strong> Regal Brett (2005 Joe RossinMemorial Derby (Sale);Grigorieva, dam of Leefull (29.64 Spk)<strong>and</strong> Sensation Lee (TR Cranbourne 311m,Traralgon 298m);Fairy Wings, dam of Brett’s Rival (29.88BGC);Tranquil Scene, dam of good Wentyperformers Thierry Henry <strong>and</strong> PhoenixAblaze (29.85 Wpk);Gleaming Talent, dam of smartMelbourne sprinters Rossi <strong>and</strong> Weetbix;Junoesque, dam of Infinite Beauty (2004VIP Kennels Magic Mdn (Wpk)).All of these double-up were 3x3 or 3x4crosses.While it has worked well for Brett Lee,the same cannot be said for another top fivesire, Awesome Assassin, a son of Light OfFire (by New Tears).Awesome Assassin has sired 79 litters<strong>with</strong> linebreeding to New Tears but only threefeature winners have resulted <strong>and</strong> only 20 citywinners have been produced from 14 bitches.This is a very poor result as he should haveproduced twice as many based on his overallstats.The best of these would have been thetalented but erratic Where’s Boz (2003 CabraVale Diggers Gold Cup (Bulli), 2003Healesville Cup).AUSTRALIAN WINNING LINESVolume 12 - 2004$50 (inc postage & h<strong>and</strong>ling)Containing all the usual features of the greyhound year: City Winners; Sires,Dams & Maternal Gr<strong>and</strong>sires of City Winners; Western Australia; AustralianFeature Race Winners; Sires, Dams, Maternal Gr<strong>and</strong>sires <strong>and</strong> Pedigrees of FeatureRace Winners; Australian Track Records <strong>and</strong> Overseas Feature Winners.Cheques/Money Orders payable to:Peter Rose, PO Box 330, Jimboomba, Qld, 4280.Ph (07) 5548 6687The (September, 2005) Journal Page 28

Another is Caruso, wholast month won the Vic Breeders Maiden atThe Meadows.Faithful Hawk (Credibility-Angel’s Faith,by Pretty Fearless-Angel Tears, by NewTears) had 42 litters containing the doubleupfor just three city winners, again a verypoor result <strong>and</strong> a long way inferior to hisnormal performance.The best of the Faithful Hawks would bePOSTMAN'S RIDGE<strong>Greyhound</strong> ComplexTrialling Daily(Closed Tues & Wed)From May-Oct trials will run from7.30am to 9amContact John <strong>and</strong> Sharyn Collins0437 789076 or 0408 789076Ph (07) 46303688Mr Faithful (2002 Gold Coast Cup, TRSingleton 466m) <strong>and</strong> Regal Tess (TR Gosford731m).Solve The Puzzle (by Light Of Fire, byNew Tears) had 18 litters containing thedouble-up resulting in seven city winners fromfour different bitches. This is a similarpercentage to his normal stats.The best of the STPs would be the talentedstayer Royal Riddle (x Nicka Nicka, byBearability) who won the 2005 Winter Chaseat Albion Park. Another STP was 2004Victorian Puppy C’ship (coursing) winnerDaleah’s Beauty.Awesome Assassin’s full brother, LilliPilli Lad, had 11 litters containing the doubleupresulting in four city winners from twodifferent bitches. The best would be prolificWentworth Park winner Go Marty.Trousers (Head Honcho-Goddess Of Fire,by Light Of Fire) had 14 litters containingthe double-up for two city winners, one ofthem being 2005 Orange Cup winner, I’ll GetBy.Exceptional (Star Title-Starlight Jessie, byNew Tears) had 15 litters containing thedouble-up for just one city winner, the SilverChief Classic runner-up Mr Tab from the litterout of Alyssa Star which also has Moss Vale307m record holder First Avenue.Brett Lee’s brother Trendy Leigh had 19litters containing the double-up resulting infour city winners from two bitches.Dave’s Mentor (Head Honcho-Best OfBev, by Best Of Blue-Brindle Bev, by NewTears) had five litters for one city winner.Zealous Guy (Little Denver-Plus Velvet,by New Tears) had five litters for two citywinners out of My Charisma.Kobble Creek (Gun Law Osti-TrojanBrett Lee's progenyseem to buck the trendthat a double-up ofNew Tears does notwork.Tears, by New Tears) has 16 litters containingthe double-up but only one city winner camefrom them.Nailed (Malawi’s Prince-Maudie, by NewTears) had 10 litters for one city winner.Moonambel Prince (Fox Hunt-New Bow,by New Tears) had 13 litters for four citywinners from two different bitches, the bestbeing the good Melbourne stayer GreenleaPrince.Great Wish (Billy Binjang-New Wish, byNew Tears) had eight litters <strong>with</strong> the only citywinner being classy stayer Perfect Heart.So overall, Brett Lee has been the onlystud dog to be more successful when used tolinebreed New Tears.Some, such as No Intent <strong>and</strong> Solve TheTotallySeriousTotally SeriousBy the sire of Proven Smokey,Maldon Magic, Tropical One,Asha, Tears For Rome, TallyBale, Saying Goodbye, BlackPrecision, Cawbourne Mim etc.Totally SeriousOut of the damline that hasproduced champions MancunianGirl, Bentley Babe, Arvo'sExpress, Brookside Red, BluesClues <strong>and</strong> Tom's Legacy.Also from this damline is: AmicoMio, Miss Ezra, Sagres Gold,Three States, Akubra Girl, SagresMist, Wild Chaos etc.Totally SeriousPerfectly suited to the Credibility<strong>and</strong> Just The Best bitches soprevalent in Qld.
