Procyon, the Bart Cummings trained 3-year-old gelding who recorded a strong win over 1400m on Randwick’s Kensington circuit this week, is a very good example of the prepotency of his sire Show a Heart for physical qualities as well as racing ability.

Most of the progeny of Show a Heart, Queensland’s best sire of this time from his base at the Glenlogan Park stud, are much like him in appearance, handsome, showy, nicely made horses emblazed and with some white legs, in his case three.The qualities are likely to flow on and in the future many of the most eye-catching foals in breeding paddocks could be out of his daughters.

Show a Heart is only in his infancy as a broodmare sire, but already has about 400 potential breeders on the ground. Besides the physical qualities, they have the credentials of a racehorse who was one of the best performers of his time up to 1600m and who is rejuvenating through his male line the greatest force in Australia last century, Star Kingdom.

In addition his maternal breeding contains two strains of one of the world icon broodmares, Cinna.Two of her own foals were Balloch, one of New Zealand’s great sires, and Beau Pere, a top sire also in that country and in Australia and America.

Show a Heart has done his breeding and the management at Glenlogan Park proud. He is not only Queensland’s champion sire currently for the second successive year, but he stands high in national respect.

His oldest are six and he has 218 winners of over 600 races and $19.6million on the board. Four have each earned in excess of $1million and 45 $100,000 plus.

It is doubtful a week goes past that Show a Heart does not have winners and the past one has been no exception. Besides Procyon’s success at Randwick, his latest winners include Woorim, the 5-year-old gelding who unwound from the tail of the field and surged to victory in the $125,000 BRC Sprint on the Doomben Cup program. Now winner of seven races and $440,000, Woorim races for R.A. Cutts, the breeder and racing owner of Show a Heart.

Horse buyers have a number of opportunities to access Show a Heart at the Magic Millions National sales now underway at the Gold Coast. He has six daughters in the broodmare section over three days of May 29, 30 and 31 and 12 lots in the yearling catalogue, one to be presented June 5, 6 and 7.

There are also five mares listed by Glenlogan’s other well established sire Falvelon, the source also of six lots in the yearling sessions.

This year Glenlogan stands seven sires, all talented Australian racehorses, but only four with runners. Also represented by yearlings, the other two are Jet Spur (by Flying Spur; seven lots) and Bradbury’s Luck (Redoute’s Choice; four), two upcoming sires who have their oldest three. For the second successive year, Jet Spur has had double figure juvenile winners.

Another of the Glenlogan sires, crack 2-year-old Real Saga (by Tale of the Cat), has eight first crop offspring in the weanling catalogue and seven of the mares listed were served by him last season. Also, nine of the other mares were among the 135 served last season by the 2010 Glenlogan newcomer Red Element, a stakes winning brother by Red Ransom to Typhoon Tracy.
