This staying superstar continues to eclipse track records wherever he goes. The past week has seen the recent GROUP 2 Sydney Cup winner break Texas Gold's track record at The Gardens - adding to his Maitland & Wentworth Park records. Unlike Texas Gold, Miagi does his record breaking from the front - a real speed stayer. Which begs the question what chance of Miagi at stud?
Looking back to his crowning moment (to date) the GROUP 2 Sydney Cup in a track record 42.03. From box rise Miagi was a sight to be hold - stopping the first section split at 16.15. A split time that compares favourably to the now defunct 280m distance track record of 15.98. So is he your classic stayer type?
In yesteryear stayers were given a much fairer chance at stud and have had some excellent success. The likes of the great Travel Rev sired N.S.W Greyhound of the Year Kawati Boy. Himself the sire of classic winner Handicap. Travel Rev can be found in three great modern dam lines i.e Worthy Reward's/Kumta Chase's Kirsty's First dam line and the prolific Make Me Fly dam line of Supermarine, Lucy Lawless, Kedo's Millie etc. A dam line that branches to W.A Greyhound of the Year Reggemite.
Statistician - a brilliant stayer of the mid to late 1980's, had nice success especially through the dam Subtle Charm - producing an exceptionally fast litter in Impulsive Status, Subtle Addition & Status Reign. Legendary breeder Paul Wheeler also tasted success with Satisitician and it continues today through successful sire Lansley Bale and the exceptionally fast Cromlah Bale.
Miagi traces back to the UK "Beaded Lil" dam line a notable sire influence. Seen to most effect in Australia through the Roma Cutlet branch and Group 1 Australian Cup winner and successful sire The Smoother. Of course Miagi's dam line in more recent years has produced the likes of N.S.W Greyhound of the Year Big Sam Banner - a successful sire from very limited opportunities. Along with GROUP class greyhounds - Tye Webb, Banner Park, Marlon Banner, Snow Legend and Sleepy Jane.
What chance Miagi will be the next successful staying sire?
