I had a feeling whilst writing about this brood bitch that I was omitting one great offshoot of the line and it has kindly been pointed out to me by John Moyles that I hadn't mentioned the Lanigans Ball line.

She comes from the Flying Lady branch of the line and it is one of the most active on the scene at the minute. Miss Firecracker is a direct descendant and is in Trap 1 in the Irish Oaks Final next Saturday and although a big price she holds a big chance.
The most obvious offspring of Lanigans Ball is Live Contender who won the 91 Produce Stakes and Irish Laurels before a successful stud career. The Bangor prefix of dogs mostly came from this line and it produced a great bitch in the shape of Pinhead who reached the semi final of 99 Oaks. Her two best pups where both bitches in Tyrur Jenny and Marita and they along with the bitches from other litters have bred on exceptionally well. PJ Fahy is responsible for the Pinhead line and it has served him very well supplying him with home bred dogs of the very highest class in Tyrur Lee, Margeret, Pedro, Major and Brett, Ullid Conor.
