Danzig Line Domination in Europe

There have been numerous examples of doubling up of Danzig here in Australia, 3x3 etc. and with the abundance of Danehill blood here we recently had our first stakes winning 2-y-o with that sire 3 x 3. Statistics reveal that 47% of Australian bred horses this season have Danehill in their pedigree. But they keep winning so why wouldn't you breed to the major breed shaper seen worldwide ?

Hi Kevin,

Hard to know for sure with the dosage question, as I don't know exactly what BRIS do.

We use the numbers generated by The Jockey Club Information Services and the explanation of these can be found at-

The list of horses used can be found at-

My best guess would be that BRIS is using a slightly different list, and are short a horse in the "Classic" and "Stout" categories.

Why is there a difference in the Dosage profile for a North Light(Sire Danehill) cross, with the Mare Lady Stars (Dam Sire Lord Carson), between True Nicks and the Brisnet Report?

True Nicks:

Dosage Profile: 5-5-10-2-0

Dosage Index: 2.14

Cen. of Dis: +0.59

Brisnet Report:

Dosage Profile: 5-5-12-4-0

Dosage Index: 1.60

Cen. of Dis: +0.42

Thank You for any clarification you can provide on this.

Update:

From February question:

Ivory Star was bred to Raffie's Majesty on March 11th, and she has since been confirmed in foal on this one cover. If interested I will occasionally update on the foal.

Her Feb. foal, a filly, out of Wheelaway is a beautiful copper colored roan that appears to have inherited her mother's dominating personality. But Ivory's racing story is to long for this, lets just say she is a great deal better then what the record shows.

As always, Thank You in advance for your time and efforts given,

Kevin

Ian's reply: Kevin, congrats on your Wheelaway filly! Regarding your dosage inquiry, it appears that Brisnet may be doubling the dosage points for Rainbow Quest, the broodmare sire of North Light. He is a Classic-Solid chef-de-race, so his points should be divided between both categories. We'll let Brisnet know about the issue. Thanks.

Not only is Danzig prominent in Europe, if you look at the races in America you will see the Danzig/Northern Dancer in the winners. Glad I got to meet Danzig before he passed.
