If it is your strategy to breed a genuine stayer, then congrats to you... those Zabeels have every right to cop a Caulfield or Melbourne Cup, as you know!

My mare is a rubiton which won @ 1200 & matured into a long distance horse
2400 I used to love the flash & burn & still love the stocky breed that makes up a sprinter but with the mare i have got stands about 16,3 but has the features of a long distance horse skinny like a grey hound.
I would just love to bring the breed to America as both rubiton & zabeel are southern hemiphere horses & see how it stands against your horses :-)
With the way the World Cup series is developing it wont belong before there will be a american leg & hopefully it will be 1 mile & 1/4 ,2000 mtres our terms.
ps my Mare has won on dirt but the only dirt races over here are in the back block Bush Races where it's too dry to grow grass
