Broodbitch owners will LOVE TRAIN A JOURNEY. He provides so many options for the multitude of bitches Australia-wide.
Firstly, and importantly, he carries no Worth Doing and just one cross of Brother Fox and one other of Pretty Short. Thus he is perfect for bitches that carry Surf Lorian, his sire Just The Best, grandsire Credibility etc in their pedigree.
All these sires also have extra crosses of Pretty Short and the doubling of Pretty Short in pedigrees has been a highly successful cross for many years now.
Putting bitches with Amerigo Man, West Cape, Bogenfel and Carnival in their pedigree to link up with the one cross of Walkabout Sid in TRAIN A JOURNEY will do wonders.
Bitches that carry Light Of Fire and his son Awesome Assassin, and Solve The Puzzle, will suit TRAIN A JOURNEY because of the fact he has Shining Chariot in his damline. The nick between Light Of Fire’s dam Centrefire and her brother Shining Chariot has been an exceptional one.
Primo Uno (sire of TRAIN A JOURNEY) has sired the Group performer Uno Joel, and top class gallopers Cuts Both Ways, Uno Witch and Phlox out of Awesome Assassin bitches. The Group 1 winner Suave Fella is by a son of Awesome Assassin out of a Black Shiraz bitch. Putting Light Of Fire/Awesome Assassin bitches to TRAIN A JOURNEY will produce a Sires Sex Balance to New Tears through the middle of the pedigree.
The abundance of bitches from the Head Honcho sireline will be an awesome match with TRAIN A JOURNEY. The fact TRAIN A JOURNEY carries a cross of Head Honcho’s sire Walkabout Sid in his male line augurs well for any bitches from the Head Honcho (Go Wild Teddy) sireline. This will produce a Sires Sex Balance to Walkabout Sid.
Many of the best progeny of TRAIN A JOURNEY's sire Primo Uno carry this SSB to
Walkabout Sid. These include Uno Joel, Cash Up, Live The Dream, We also point out the multiple Group performer Jinderra Flame is by a son of Head Honcho from a Golden Currency bitch a cross that would be introduced if daughters of Go Wild Teddy were mated to TRAIN A JOURNEY.
With the abundance of Token Prince bitches about the country, TRAIN A JOURNEY will be ideally suited by matings to any of these. Train A Journey carries a cross of Buka Sunset in his immediate sireline. Malawi, grandsire of Token prince, is a litter brother to Buka Sunset.
The nick between Buka Sunset and Malawi has long been fabulous. Its best example is champion bombastic Shiraz (a son of Black Shiraz, the grandsire of TRAIN A JOURNEY).
The multiple Group winner Mandagery Man is by Token Prince from a Black Shiraz bitch, and the Group 1 winner Hall’s Northern also carries this cross. Live The Dream is another with this cross.
With Primo Uno carrying the outcross Moral Standards in his damline, this lends itself for a number of exciting crosses to TRAIN A JOURNEY. Bitches with Barneys Alarm and his champion son Reggemite will produce a double-up of the famous Irish broodbitch August Morning when put to TRAIN A JOURNEY. Examples of this working are Decathalon the son of Primo Uno who was runner-up in a Group 1 Perth Cup.
The Wee Sal damline will suit him as well. Primo Uno has already worked with this line to produce top stayer Turbo Uno.
Doubling the Famous Portrait line is another option with TRAIN A JOURNEY. The Group winner Run The Risk, and quality galloper Jumbo (both by Primo Uno) carry a double of Famous Portrait.
Famous breeder Paul Wheeler, and anyone with bitches from his fantastic producing damlines, should rush to TRAIN A JOURNEY. Primo Uno’s top staying bitch Electra is from a daughter of Lansley Bale who stems from the Wheeler damline.
The import Farloe Melody is another who will click with TRAIN A JOURNEY, through his sons Lansley Bale and Bobniak. Champion sprinter Sun Hero is by Lansley Bale from a Black Shiraz bitch, while multiple Group performer Spring Gladiator is by Bobniak from a Black Shiraz bitch.
The brilliant gallopers Sonador and Uno Joel are perfectly examples of why Hotshot bitches should go to TRAIN A JOURNEY. This will bring in a Sires Sex Balance to Eaglehawk Star.
This has been hugely successful in Ireland where the great Smooth Rumble, from the Ginger sireline, proved the balance to Eaglehawk Star. Both Sonador and Uno Joel carry a SSB to Eaglehawk Star. Both are by TRAIN A JOURNEY's sire Primo Uno.
Which brings us to Brett Lee. Already he is showing a great nick with daughters of the Black Shiraz sireline. Examples of this are the high class performers Axe Handle and Hot To Rumble (second fastest ever around Albion Park).
The outstanding Qld performers Leica Ruby, Leica Paper Boy and Leica Drink are by Brett Lee from a daughter of Black Shiraz (grandsire of TRAIN A JOURNEY).
