It's official Henny Hughes is a CITY winner!

The rags to riches story spoken about in an earlier V12 Pedigrees' blog (May 2008) posting is complete. With Henny Hughes winning in the "city" at her second attempt - winning at Cannington, Western Australia in a very respectable 30.68 (Best of Night 30.62).

In short, Henny Hughes came about through my defending the worth of Moral Standards introduction into Australia. An owner of a legless Moral Standards broodbitch, Robs Queenlee (Moral Standards* x Lady Queenlee) - 22 starts 2-0-4, disatisfied with Moral Standards, challenged myself to breed something worthwhile with Robs Queenlee. And haven't we just...a $3,050 to-the-winner "city" win no less.

Robs Queenlee had produced little more than a country winner in her two previous litters. Showing firsthand the importance of pedigree, when attempting to breed successful racetrack performers.
