Followers may recall our article of 9 April 2023 captioned "Soulcombe - Melbourne Cup 2023 - patience the key to reward.
We were so close in our prediction and left pondering if only he had not dwelt at the start losing those 3 or 4 lengths. Having said this, nothing can be taken away from Without A Fight who deserved his victory and won convincingly. But what a result the 2023 Melbourne Cup was for our new Pedigrees360 Breeding For The Green Dots breeding programme. We ran through all the 2023 starters pre-race ( should have posted them ) whittling it down to 12 runners pointed to by this programme. In saddlecloth order these were; Alenquer - 4 Green Dots, 3 Yellow Dots Without A Fight - 3 Green Dots, 4 Yellow Dots Soulcombe - 2 Green Dots, 5 Yellow Dots, 1 Red Dot Absurde - 1 Green Dot ( 1 x OTC ), 7 Yellow Dots Right You Are - 4 Green Dots, 4 Yellow Dots Ashrun - 4 Green Dots, 3 Yellow Dots Sheraz - 2 Green Dots ( 1 x OTC ), 6 Yellow Dots Lastotchka - 5 Green Dots ( 1 x OTC ), 2 Yellow Dots Magical Lagoon - 3 Green Dots ( 1 x OTC ), 4 Yellow Dots Serpentine - 2 Green Dots, 5 Yellow Dots, 1 Red Dot Interpretation - 3 Green Dots, 5 Yellow Dots Kalapour - 3 Green Dots, 5 Yellow Dots. From a punter's perspective the Green Dot programme included both the $11,700 trifecta and the $332,000 first four. From a breeders' perspective how can you afford to not utilise the Green Dots breeding programme with your mare to give her the same sort of chance as above?
