A brilliant performer on the racetrack, Elite Stride offers breeders world class genetics and blinding speed.

Anthony Butt described him as “The fastest young trotter I have ever driven!”

Although bred in Australia, Elite Stride has a truly outstanding American pedigree.

He of course is a son of the World’s leading sire Muscle Hill with maternal lines of Donato Hanover, Muscles Yankee, Speed In Action and Arnie Almahurst.

Mares from the Garland Lobell sireline are an obvious choice for Elite Stride. Such a mating would result in a duplication of Garland Lobell in the centre of the pedigree which should prove advantageous.

Stallions from the Garland Lobell sireline include Majestic Son, Angus Hall, Andover Hall, The Pres, Creatine, Quite Easy, Monkey Bones, Wishing Stone, Imperial Count, Eilean Donon, etc.

Sundon, being a grandson of Arnie Almahurst, will also be a good cross for Elite Stride. We would also consider mares with Sundon maternally.

Although Elite Stride already carries a double up of Muscles Yankee, we believe that you cannot have too much of a good thing and that Muscles Yankee line mares would be a good choice for Elite Stride.

This would include mares by stallions such as Muscle Mass and Skyvalley.

THIRTEEN IS LUCKY SOMETIMES

The number thirteen is often considered a number of bad luck and especially in the world of horse racing.
