Allipop Update

thought I would do a little homework into the Lift Up (dam of Allipop) litter that is currently racing.  She was bred to Top Honcho (hopefully to reproduce the performance of Allipop's litter with Javelin King). 

There were two impressive dogs in this litter:

Big Archie (Top Honcho - Lift Up) - who raced open class at Shelbourne Park.  He was shipped to England to race (probably sold) and doesn't look like he's adjusting well.  Before he was shipped, he looked great at Shelbourne Park.  One of his races he clocked a 28.88 over the 525y course: (smokin!)

Strong Side (Top Honcho - Lift Up) - who raced Ireland at Dundalk as a very good sprinter before shipping to England where he currently races Brough Park.  Watch him burn these boxes in an Open Class race (top grade) at Brough Park:

Allipop* (Top Honcho - Lift Up)

Name: Allipop     [Full Pedigree]
Sex: Black Bitch
Whelped: April 1, 2000

Sire: Top Honcho (Head Honcho - Rainbow High) - #1 sire in Ireland

Dam: Lift Up (Cry Dalcash - Moss Grace)

   

Notes: We recently acquired Alipop who was a very nice racebitch in her own right and is from a fantastic female producer, Lift Up.  She has produced many open class dogs in Ireland and England including:

Alipop is superbly bred out of Top Honcho who is claimed to be the greatest No. 1  sire ever with his pups running out over 1/2 million in prizemoney during  2002! Top Honcho's current stud fee has been raised to an astonishing 2,000 Euros.
   
Her dam, Lift Up, has produced open class pups in every litter which included breedings to Staplers Jo, Vintage Prince & Larkhill Jo. Ali's litterbrother, Javelin King, contested in the Tote Gold Cup, Reading Masters, Irish Breeders Stakes, as well as the English Derby heats. Born To Go, a 1/2 brother, raced 2nd in the Grand National, and 1st in Champion Hurdle.
   
Lift Up's sire, Cry Dalcash, made a big impression on the Irish breeding scene by producing top-class winners including: Joannestown Cash (previous stud) who won the Guiness 600, contested in Irish Derby, as well as set the track record at Shelbourne Park over the 600y distance (32.49); Mr Bozz (previous stud) who won the Easter Cup, Champion Stakes, Waterford Masters and contested in the Irish Derby; CeeKay (previous stud) who won the ARC, contested in English Derby, 2nd English Laurels. Cry Dalcash is also proving to be a great producer of brood matrons.
   
Lift Up's dam include, Ardfert Sean, sire of English Derby winner, Ardfert Mick, as well as champion greyhound producer, Lindas Champion.
   
Ali only raced four times (she had two 2nds, 1st) before she injured her hock. She won her 2nd official start in Derry in 28.96 for the 525y.
