In second slot with a dozen wins is Elaine Parker’s Droopys Knox (Broadstrand Lad-Droopys Quinta). Knox’s Dec ’15 litter by Candlelight King is the most prolific, in terms of individual winners with five comrades all successful in open class including RPGTV Scottish Derby finalist Lightfoot King.
A special mention too for the remarkable Droopys Solange (Blackstone Gene-Droopys Sporty) who is third on the table, but who has produced 147 career open race winners to date – from 34 different progeny and five different litters.
