Conclusion:
– Really unbelievable: the paternal line of Volomite is the winner in 11 of 13 races, only one of them goes to Scotland (pronounced Speedy Crown). And after a lot of urgently needed blood is being talked about, S J´s Photo (born 1990), 3 winners, and Garland Lobell (born 1981), 4 winners, both probably the biggest stallion surprises of the last decades, speak their own language: good blood always prevails ...
– The number of european motherlines was above average this year: France (FR), Netherlands (FR), Slovenia (YU), Sweden (FR).
– Sweden´s trotting hero Maharajah, winner of the Swedish Derby 2009 and winner of the Prix d´Amérique 2014, was the only sire this year that sent an offspring as winner.
– Austrian Trainer Gregor Krenmayr won both the Austrian Derby (as Trainer) and the Czech Derby (as Trainer and Driver).
– In many nations, the purses of the Derbys are steadily going downhill. Unlike in norway, the prize money was almost doubled!
– German stallion Gerd November, who was installed in Slovenia, brought the Derby winner for the second time in a row.
– US stallion Quite Easy, standing in Sweden, brought the Norwegian Derby winner for the second time in a row.
– For the second time in a row, the US stallion Toss Out in Italy was broodmare sire.
– For the scond time in a row Slovenian/Yugoslavian maternal line of Liska brought the Derby winner.
