Enough Talk has a cool pedigree; World-record trotter from outcross branch of main sire line

Arnie Almahurst branch of Speedster line chalks up another speed record; 1:49.3 first sub 1:50 trotting mile 11oCT08!!!

Full online pedigree of world record trotter Enough Talk, by Enjoy Lavec

The Arnie Almahurst line that Pine Chip and Enjoy Lavec hail from is an outcross branch of the dominant Speedster line, and this primary breeding is reinforced with a dam by Valley Victory son Donerail. Enough Talk's second dam Fashion Finder has a Canadian connection, being by the legendary Balanced Image (and out of the Brisco Hanover mare, Moorelands Vera!!!)

An estimated 98%+ of top level North American harness racing stallions are from one of three main standardbred sire lines; For Pacing, Hal Dale, For Trotting, Speedster, and for both pacing and trotting, Volomite.

Enjoy Lavec is standing in Sweden but the new world record is great news for his connections. They can keep him there and enjoy his fame or consider a move back across the Atlantic when overseas contractual obligations are fulfilled. He'd get some nice mares in Ontario, New York, Pennsylvania ...

In the meantime, other Pine Chip sons may get a little more action, while the Arnie Almahurst line in general (Dream Vacation, Arndon, Magna Force, Spellcaster, Florida Pro line stallions) will experience revived interest.
