Stats?! He has fewer than 60 AUS pups listed on GD. That's hardly enough to form any reasonable opinion.

On the racetrack, Kelsos Fusileer was stakes class but not a stakes winner.
I asked a good friend, based in Boston, who has been in greyhound racing all his life for his thoughts on Kelsos Fusileer.
His exact reply is:
"Kelsos Fusileer won 10 AA's at Wheeling Downs when he ran there back in 2005-06. At one stage he rattled off three in a row which by any standard is a good thing. Wheeling Downs is a noted speed track and he did come from behind to win most of his races.
"He was a good racer at Wheeling Downs but was he as good as Rhythmless and Greys Calibrator who also ran there I don't think so.
"As a stud dog he has produced some solid dogs over here but nothing outstanding. He wasn't a dog the breeders were rushing to breed to. My honest opinion of him was he was a good dog but not a great one.
"Now on the other hand you see what he produced in Fernando Bale, a dog better than himself, when mixed up with your Australian blood."
So there you have it.
My own research on Kelsos Fusileer shows Fernando Bale is a standout, by a long, long way, in his stud career.
So, Kelsos Fusileer was a top grade dog but not a star. At stud he has been handy at best (until Fernando). His lines have a smattering a good and some very good, but lots of moderate.
So to Fernando's damline.
Dam, Chloe Allen (Primo Uno-Rosemary Bale) is from a great Wheeler family.
Chloe Allen was second in the SA Oaks and a multiple city winner. Her first two litters, to Dyna Lachlan and Cosmic Chief, are moderate and that's giving them a very big wrap.
But to Kelsos Fusileer she has also produced Group winner Elfen Bale.
Chloe Allen carries two very important Irish crosses in her pedigree, that of Moral Standards and Silver Ball and I have already written of the link to Kelsos Fusileer's dam Lassinagh Silky with that pair.
Chloe Allen is a half sister to champion stayer Jarvis Bale who didn't get an early go at stud with the exception of Paul Wheeler's own bitches.

LAST YEAR IN THE USA IN IOWA HE HAD 5 OR 6 PUPS IN ONE TOP GRADE RACE- IF THERE ARE ANY FROZEN STRAWS LEFT THEY WILL FLY OF THE SHELF

WHAT DID CHLOE ALLEN PRODUCE IN THE WHERES PEDRO LITTER-

WHEN YOU PRODUCE YES SIRE THE BEST AUSTRALIAN RACING HAS SEEN IN MANY

YEARS HARDLY THINK THE WORD MODERATE FITS JOHN KELLYS

KELSO FUSULEER FERNANDO BALE WAS THE 8TH WONDER OF THE WORLD

LOVE TO SEE WHAT SISTER ELFEN BALE THROWS

Wade re Temlee and Bro Fox sires you have hit the nail on the head.
Time will tell but I reckon he ,because of his ability,will have to throw some very handy ones at least.

I believe I've heard the same but I'm nearly sure our American friends would say KST is a better and more respected dog then KF in the big USA.
I had a quick look and if I'm reading the sires list in America correctly then Bella Infared is doing a better job with his first crop of pups then KF is doing with his last few crops???

KST had ten times the pups as KF. Quantity has a quality all its own. But most breeders can't breed in quantity. Given a choice between a vial of KST or KF, most American breeders would opt for the latter. This chart tells you everything you need to know:

In other words, you are almost twice as likely to get good pups from Kelsos Fusileer.

Consider this as well; from 15,000 offspring, KST has no sons who are considered top sires. His sire, Oswald Cobblepot, produced only one top-10 sire.

It's too early to say if KF will have a top sire, but my guess is we'll find out soon enough from Fernando Bale. KF's sire Gable Dodge produced two top-2 sires in Dodgem By Design and Lonesome Cry, and Stans Boy Flyer would've been a top-5 sire had he not died at 7. KC And All is poised to become Dodge's third top-2 sire and is on a trajectory to be #1 in a few years.

The truth is that the HB's Commander topline is almost dead and is perpetuated by only a few second-tier sires. The only one getting any breedings at all is Flying Coal City. Dodge and Penske are the dominant sirelines.

A large number of KST pups were fast but phony or gutless. The ones who got genuineness from their dams tended to be good race dogs. I think he is proving to be a better damsire than he was a sire. His daughters have crossed well with Gable Dodge, Flying Penske and Brett Lee sirelines.

American dogs run three times a fortnight and a good grader at a better track will run 60-70 races in a year and grind out $200 or $400 a week and maybe $10K to $20K a year. Multiply that times 50 or 60 dogs in a kennel, and it adds up quickly. That's what Americans breed for.

Which line do people think will click with FB

And is his stud fee $4400

Thanks just wondering people thoughts

Always a good start. Lol lets hope they have a V8

Are people happy with his pups that have used him.

Thanks Howard. Was more looking at what people's thoughts of his puppies and the character of them. I'm sure there will be a lot of people waiting to see how his first crop break in.

I know a lot of people think he won't make it, I think he will be a star at stud. The only problem the average breeder might not be able to afford him.
