How good is Zeus??

.....Party Time was pretty decent but would not classify her as a blue hen but she did well in winning the Cape Guinness and Paddock stakes among her 9 wins .....she foaled mainly fillies and most of them never saw a racecourse....her daughter Happy Birthday was the best performer winning 8 races and then Eligible winner of 4 races in a short 12 run career.....her best daughter at stud was Popular.... never won a race and was the dam of July winner Trademark.....:whistle:

@ Muthi

I understand being a Grade 1 winner does not necessarily mean you will produce good horses. I mentioned Party Time because of its race record and is the dam line of Zeus.

You will have a horse like Dancers Daughters who has produced nothing good so far but her sibling, Imvula, has got Rain In Holland. So I will follow horses along these type of scenarios.
A good broodmare to me will be like Star Drums although its dying off now.
I will classify Port Wine as a "Blue Hen". Up to this day her daughters, granddaughters, etc are still producing Graded winners and have produced numerous Grade 1 winners.

Zeus? his dam throws stayers[/quote]

......saw that and the spiel that someone at SP done on the dam.....but peeling back in the ped cannot see where the genome comes from.....was very big on Trademark back in the day but then knew nothing about pedigree and genome and see him as an anomaly.... but that genome is strong as Zeus is the 3rd of 4 siblings so far showing above average over ground and now the younger sister also cracked her maiden over 1900m in KZN.....there is no 3yrold as the mare slipped foal.... but was since covered by Erupt with a now 2yr old colt in the wings.....this could be the mare's last..... but maybe her best.... .

This is what I posted about Zeus before its second win and its dam Lil Bacio.

Another good win.

Was very well in today, wouldn't be screaming off the rooftops just yet.

@Naresh

When you have time pm me plz. I would love for you to check out a few pedigrees for me, if you are up for it. If I have a chunk in my armour its pedigrees. I rate them not so important inessence, (to overall success rate) but there are quite a few instances where knowing what a horse'S potential trip must be can be very profitable.

So if willing to help....I'll be waiting.If not....no stress

Quite an amazing energy around the winner. 10 time winner.
Awesome

It's certainly one of my favs 😍
