The Storm Inside was an undefeated Australian Two-Year-Old Pacing Colt of the Year who then went on to break track records as an older horse.

At two he won all six of his starts including the Group 1 APG Final and the Group 2 Rod Fitzpatrick Memorial Pace.

The Storm Inside is by Rocknroll Hanover out of an imported Artsplace mare from the famed Golden Miss family.

Rockrnoll Hanover has proven a very successful sire of sires producing multiple Group 1 siring sons.

So when looking to what might work for The Storm Inside we should look at what has worked for the likes of Rock N Roll Heaven and A Rocknroll Dance.

The pattern is very clear with them – Abercrombie, Direct Scooter and Cam Fella.

If you look at the top 10 Southern Hemisphere progeny of both Rock N Roll Heaven and A Rocknroll Dance you will see that those three sirelines feature in 18 of the 20 horses as broodmare sires.

Abercrombie line stallions include Art Major, Grinfromeartoear, Perfect Art, Artiscape, Modern Art, Albert Albert, Life Sign, Dream Away, Pacific Rocket, Panorama, etc.

Downunder Direct Scooter line stallions include Christian Cullen, Mach Three, Somebeachsomewhere, In The Pocket, Courage Under Fire, etc.

Cam Fella line stallions include Bettors Delight, Fake Left, Armbro Operative, Presidential Ball, Washington VC, Four Starzzz Shark, Blissfull Hall, Pacific Fella, etc.

Other potential broodmare sirelines we would look at are No Nukes and Falcon Seelster.

Duplicating No Nukes has produced a number of high quality performers and this has definitely worked with Rock N Roll Heaven.

Rocknroll Magic (Live Or Die mare), Mackenzie (Safely Kept mare), Rockmemama (Safely Kept mare) and Band Of Angels (Jate Lobell mare) are all examples of this type of pedigree.

No Nukes line stallions include American Ideal, Live Or Die, Badlands Hanover, Safely Kept, Village Jasper, Jereme’s Jet, etc.

With The Storm Inside’s second dam being a grand daughter of Bret Hanover, we think Falcon Seelster line mares could be a good option for him as well.

Falcon Seelster line stallions include Falcon Seelster himself but also McArdle, Tintin In America, Rich And Spoilt, etc.
