I have to admit to you that Iam a closet show goer. During my youth in Sydney, every year it was essential that you went to the Royal Easter Show and a little later on, participating in the Dog Showing at the Show. There is just something about it (no its not the fact that judging is not impartial or its more important who is at the end of the leash, lead etc. than what animal is on the other end!), its the atmosphere and the excitement of getting your dog (cat, horse, guinea pig, snail etc) ready and being part of it.
I read through with interest today the results of the thoroughbred judging that took place on Tuedsay. I was instantly amazed with the results of the Stallion classes:-
Class: 3 - Stallion at Stud, 6 years old and over
1st - Meteroic Rise (Celestial Dancer / Impavida)
2nd - Dust in the Wind (Sir Tristram / Abbaye)
3rd - Centro (Century / Ease and Comfort)
Class: 4 - Stallion, 3 years old and not over 6 years old
1st - Templety (Hennessey / Frolicking)

3rd - Mail Train (Success Express / Rebecca Gay)
Class: CHAMPION THOROUGHBRED STALLION
Meteroic Rise
Class: RESERVE CHAMPION THOROUGHBRED STALLION
Dust in the Wind
Meteroic Rise served 2 mares last year and Dust In The Wind served 10. Our Libby (Miss Independence) is currently in foal to Dust in the Wind - who I might add has some good runners around Queensland at the moment. I also see that there is not a Shuttler Sire amongst them all.
Another interesting note is that the Champion Thoroughbred Gelding went to .... Skinjite by that most unpopular sire, Kinjite. An interesting thought just came to pass.... out of all our yearlings (and we have 6), the Kinjite colt, Lenny, is the one who will probably make a racehorse. Hmm. something to think about there.
Iam very happy to see that Nick Nolan's stallion, Dust in the Wind was up there amongst the winners; Nick would have to be one of the Darling Downs' own gentlemen.
Well done everyone, good to see you out there having a go....
Life. Be in it today!
