Western Hanover versus Artsplace versus Cam Fella

There are 3 dominant top lines in Standardbred pacing plus a solid range of prominent outcross line:

Dominant Lines:

Western Hanover
Artsplace
Cam Fella

Outcross lines:

Abercrombie
/ Dontgetinmyway
/ Life Sign - Real Desire - Tell All

Matts Scooter
/ Mach Three - Somebeachsomewhere
/ Royal Mattjesty

Tyler B
/ Dragons Lair - Dragon Again

French Chef
/ Beach Towel - Jennas beach Boy - Quik Pulse Mindale

Bret Hanover
/ Warm Breeze - Falcon Seelster - McArdle

No Nukes
/ Jate Lobell - Electric Yankee

Big Towner
/ Apaches Circle - Apaches Fame

Regarding these above, the true value and longevity of the Mach Three - Somebeachsomewhere line will not be estimable until Beach has a couple of years of offspring on the tracks. It will likely become at least the premier outcross line, and more probable would be the line's elevation to the top tier.

Let's examine the dominant pacing lines, those being Western Hanover, Artsplace and Cam Fella.

All 3 of the dominant pacing stallions descend from Hal Dale, as follows:

Hal Dale - Dale Frost - Meadow Skipper - Most Happy Fella - Oil Burner - No Nukes - Western Hanover

Hal Dale - Adios - Henry T Adios - Silent Majority - Abercrombie - Artsplace

Hal Dale - Dale Frost - Meadow Skipper - Most Happy Fella - Cam Fella

All 3 of the dominant pacing lines continue to show strength, which means that if Somebeachsomewhere and his sons are to crack the Breeders Crown stallion rankings with significant prowess, they may possibly turn the Standardbred pacer breeding world upside down. Look for sons of Beach out of mares by Western Hanover, Artsplace and Cam Fella sons to dominate the track and the shed.
