Ambidexter Transcending Generations Monday September 2 With AMBERDI running
second in the Listed Penny Edition Stakes for Sue Jaensch, the 5yo mare's
performance did something quite notable for her sire AMBIDEXTER.
Ambidexter Like his sire COMMANDS, "Ambi" is a slow burner and with his oldest crop just turned five, the cream is rising to the top and the pre-potency of this sire is becoming truly recognisable. To further add substance to this observation, the winner of the last race at Morphettville on the final weekend of winter was DEXTER YOU DEVIL, a winner of 6 individual races; Like DEXELATION, Like MODULATE and could quite feasibly match the 8 career wins of the now Stakes placed AMDERDI. In short, AMBIDEXTER produces a horse that once seasoned, just keeps climbing through the rankings. They are unphased by the handicapper, they can sprint and they can stay and to the casual punter they appear to just keep getting sounder. Such wonderful characteristics are reminiscent of the sire's of yesteryear; flippant quotes like "Trainer's horses" or "Tough as nails", probably undersell such admirable and rarely sourced attributes. So what is it that has AMBIDEXTER's stock outperforming their maternal genetics and galloping into each new preparation and improving on their ratings? Commands In much the same way as Commands is a son of the "blue-hen" Cotehele House and a grandson of Eight Carat, Ambidexter is a son of another "blue-hen" in Dexterous. Much like Commands is the lesser performed brother to DANEWIN, Ambidexter is the same to SKILLED and his ¾ brother SIDESTEP. So, from these notable similarities, father and son made conspicuous starts to their respective stud careers when comparing the 1st crop statistics of their progeny; With the backing of the Ingham families prodigious breeding program and matings with pedigrees deep with blacktype, Commands produced 14.8% Stakes Horses to runners in his 1st crop. Comparing Ambidexter's 9% Stakes Horses to runners is only fair given the later was having to upgrade the genetics, where as the former may only have been complimenting pedigrees! Yet both Commands and Ambidexter have shown their remarkable resilience and highly affable characteristic of creating horses that win; Commands 81% winners to runners compared to Ambidexter's 77% (and climbing). So anyone looking to breed a mare and experience the thrill of racing (and winning) with its progeny, should be more than just lured to a tale of comparison between father and son, they should be compelled to phone Sam P-G on 0430 309 428 and negotiate on the $5,500 service fee!

Is this a sign that the last remaining commercial stallion farm may be changing direction. i.e, quality mares , no stallions
And so would end an era when Stallion farms in SA punched well above their weight

i think part of the reasoning is in this case it is to do with a young trainer down here leasing Brooklyn Park and finding ways to make it viable . my understanding is that the new owner of B.P. doesnt want to run it themselves . This is a way in part of bringing in some revenue towards lease payments.
