Top Savings - Ardkill Jamie is by far the best son of the brilliantly fast, somewhat moderatley performed sire Top Savings. Question mark whether Top Savings will prove to be a sire of sire through Ardkill Jamie. Though in his defence, Top Savings is a son of the great Top Honcho, carries Sand Man and is a direct tail line decendent of the legendary influence Quare Fire.
Droopys Fintan - the biggest hurdle for Ardkill Jamie to overcome is his dam sire Drooys Fintan. Known as the brilliant Droopys First dam line - this dam line is found in any number of moderatley performed sires such as - El Premier, Rectabond Rebel, Droopys Sandy, Cool Performance, Droopy's Agassi - just a few sires with this Pony Nikita/Droopy's First lineage in their pedigrees and all moderately performed sires. Again as mentioned previously in an earlier article, it will be interesting to see if this gene lends itself more to broodbitch lines, rather than top shelf sire material. Very possible, when you consider Droopys First descends from the immortal broodbitch and influence “Skipping Chick” - a family capable of producing a sire such as the great Daley’s Gold, but for whatever reasons this branch [Droopys First] hasn’t.
Adraville Bridge - and we start to see some real sire strength, though until Wetsmead Hawk entered the sire ranks, Adraville Bridge has had mixed results in sires pedigrees - with the brilliant Climate Control carrying Adraville Bridge and whilst having his moments [Wise Thought, Jesse Bale] hasn't really set the world on fire at stud. The best carrying the [Adraville Bridge] influence would appear related to Westmead Hawk, in the form of Knockeevan Star - suggesting Adraville Bridge is seen to be of relative importance...complimentary, rather than the leading gene to base a successful stud career upon.
Spring Season - the mother of the legendary Some Picture - himself a great ill-fated sire and a great tail line in her own right.
All in all Ardkill Jamie's pedigree gives off mixed signals, to whether he will or won't be a success at stud. Maybe a wait and see approach with this undoubtedly great race dog.
