Geiger Counter, a deceased Mr. Prospector sire who has followed up supplying from use in America and Australia some 600 winners (over 83% of his runners) of 2500 races and $58million and 678 dams of 1960 winners, appears a good name to appear close up maternally.

Many of his offspring and those out of his daughters have won ten or more races, a sign of toughness, durability and ability.

A non stakes winner in seven starts, but successful over 1200m by big margins twice on major American tracks, Geiger Counter has a pedigree that is a powerhouse of genetic excellence.

Not only is he by Mr. Prospector, but he is from noted matriarch Thong, grandam of Nureyev, Sadler’s Wells and Fairy King.

Two metropolitan winners on Saturday carrying Geiger Counter in their pedigrees were Nuptse, a mare by Bradbury’s Luck, one of seven Australian produced sires at Queensland’s Glenlogan Park stud, who was having her third win from five starts when she came with a strong finish to take a 1100m event at Rosehill Gardens, and Torah, annexer of a Listed race at 1600m at Moonee Valley.

Bred at the Turangga stud, Scone,Torah carries an American mare by Geiger Counter as his grandam, but he is closer to Nuptse as this Queensland bred, owned and trained Bradbury’s Luck mare is from the Australian bred Geiger Counter mare Special Geiger.

Trained by Brian Wakefield at Eagle Farm, Nuptse at this stage looks like being the best of Special Geiger’s five runners, all winners.

Besides Saturday’s Rosehill Gardens success, Nuptse won at Warwick Farm on January 26 and, first up after an eight months break, at Doomben on September 28. In the latter event, she came home over the final 600m in 0:32.92 and scored by one and two lengths.

Nuptse, a 4-year-old, is one of 44 individual winners in the first crop of the Redoute’s Choice sire Bradbury’s Luck.

She is one of only two of his starters out of mares by Geiger Counter, the other being current 3-year-old Cash Luck, a winner of three races to 1600m and a Group 2 Golden Horseshoe fourth in Singapore.

A manner of simulating the Bradbury’s Luck – Geiger Counter is the use of mares by Canadian Silver. He is a Canadian bred son of Geiger Counter who was a good servant for the Lyndhurst stud at Warwick in Queensland, supplying 335 winners of just under 1000 races (so far) and emerging as an effective broodmare sire.

Progeny of Canadian Silver’s daughters include Woorim, My Limit and Shobelle, all good performers by Glenlogan Park’s champion Queensland sire Show a Heart.

Geiger Counter can be sourced also through his Australian bred son Oamaru Force, a former smart sprinter available this year on $3,300 at Noor Elaine Farm, Euroa, Victoria. His offspring include Diplomatic Force (six wins, SAJC Yallambee Classic, R.N. Irwin Stakes, third SAJC Goodwood Handicap, BTC Classic) and  Mid Summer Music (9 wins, MRC Bletchingly Stakes, W. W. Cockram Stakes, second VRC Milady Stakes, third MRC Caulfield Sprint),

The success of Nuptse at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday continues the good contribution to the winners’ stalls around Australia by the progeny of Bradbury’s Luck since the 2011-12 racing year began on August 1. There have been winners every week, including successes in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth and at the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Gosford, Wyong, Hawkesbury and Cranbourne.

A bright spark in Western Australia is Group stakes bound Luckygray, a Bradbury’s Luck winner of five races in Perth, second once (WATC Magic Millions 3YO Trophy) and fourth as favourite in the WATC Challenge Stakes from all his appearances. A grey like Bradbury’s Luck, Luckygray is from a mare by the Storm Bird sire Mukaddamah.

One of the most impressive looking sons of booming sire of sires Redoute’s Choice, Bradbury’s Luck is a three-quarter brother to the Patinack Farm sire Murtajill (by Rock of Gibraltar) and they are two of seven stakes performers – three winners and four placed – from the outstanding racemare Skating.

She is bred on a cross of imported Group 1 winners, being by At Talaq (won Melbourne Cup, Grand Prix de Paris) and Raffindale (set Australian record for a mile in winning the Epsom at Randwick).

Bradbury’s Luck was a brilliant racehorse whose six starts included wins in the Magic Millions 2YO Classic at the Gold Coast and Canonbury at Randwick and a third in the Blue Diamond Prelude at Caulfield.
