Influential sires: Dutch Warmbloods

8/ ∞

In Dutch there is a word for very influential stallions, “Stempelhengst”. Stempel means stamp, and hengst is stallion. It refers to the stallions that permanently put their stamp on a breed or discipline. One of such horses that comes to mind is Jazz (Cocktail x Ulster). Alternatively known as “Broere Jazz” in the showring, no other stallion has had this much of an impact on the dressage horse breeding lines. 

The beautiful dark chestnut was born in 1991, with the name Jacob. Once he went to the stallion inspection trial as a 3-year-old he became known as Jazz. At the time, the KWPN studbook breeding didn’t know the different branches of disciplines like we have today, and all stallions were expected to perform in both dressage, show jumping and sometimes driving. While Jazz’ performance with dressage impressed the studbook, he failed the jumping test. 

Jazz was sold to the family Bartels, where Tineke Bartels would start riding him in the show ring and eventually reach Grand Prix dressage. Cees Broere of Stoeterij Broere had been wanting to buy the stallion ever since he was a 3-year-old, and once the stallion was threatened to be sold overseas he took his chance and became a co-owner through a syndicate. Later he would buy the stallion fully and Kirsten Beckers became his new rider, again competing at GP level dressage. 

The list of Jazz offspring that are approved as stud or perform at Prix St. George or Grand Prix is never-ending. Over 120 of them showed at GP level. The list of approved offspring is still growing, both through direct sons as grand- or great grandsons down the line, as Jazz is still used as a father animal today. His offspring are known to be quite difficult in personality, often very spooky and hot. Despite that, he is one of the most used sire in the dressage world. It is hard to find a Dutch dressage horse that doesn’t carry the Jazz line and several other “stempelhengsten” are direct offspring of Jazz. Even myself bred and owned a great-great grandson who still was very much stamped by the Jazz line, through his father (who was a copy of Jazz) and himself. 

Jazz was retired from showing in 2011, at age 20. In the same year, they started cloning two horses of him. The clones were born in 2012. One of them, named Hollywood, has a successful dressage career under Patrick van der Meer. You can find a video of the pair here. 

Jazz unfortunately passed away in 2020, at age 29. While he already left his mark on the Dutch Warmblood, through his frozen sperm there are still people today choosing to breed their mares to this icon and several direct offspring are born every year.

26 victorias en el Tourist Trophy de la Isla de Man (entre 1977 y 2000).

3 tripletes en el TT: 1985, 1988 (F1, Senior, Junior) y 2000 (F1, 250cc, 125cc)

5 veces Campeón del Mundo de Fórmula 1 TT (1982-1986).

13 victorias en la North West 200.

24 victorias en el Ulster GP.

15 títulos británicos e irlandeses.

31 victorias en la Southern 100.

162 victorias en otras carreras urbanas.

Pero, aparte de sus éxitos deportivos, una de las cosas que le hicieron ser una persona especial fue su faceta solidaria con los demás. Poca gente la conoce, pero fueron muchísimos los viajes en solitario a los Balcanes, con su furgoneta cargada de comida, ropa y suministros para los más necesitados, los niños que vivían en los orfanatos de una zona asolada por la guerra. Su incansable labor humanitaria fue premiada en 1996 con la Orden del Imperio Británico (OBE). Ya en 1986, la había obtenido (MBE) por su trayectoria deportiva.

What Might Have Been ?- The AJS 500cc w/c Supercharged V4 of 1939 - originally developed from 1936 but plagued with reliability problems & Raced mainly by Bob Foster & Walter Rusk in the TT Senior having to stop due to overheating & both placed well down, but very Fast when trouble free - So much so at the Ulster GP, the last before WW2 one AJ Recorded the 1st 100 mph lap on the Clady Circuit leaving the Supercharged Gilera ( Which was reckoned to be the Fastest Race Bike of the period ) before having to retire with front suspension problems----------- It was such a pity after the War when Supercharging was banned, as it had proved to be faster than the Gilera, but to late in the day !

(top surgery anon) more so what it's like! tips on what to do/not do and such?

Okay so I’ll start with a disclaimer that this is just my personal experience and top surgery in Australia is different from other places obviously. So don’t take this as a guide to top surgery. It’s just my personal experience and my experience with my surgeon. 

I’m also going to throw this under a readmore cause I’m going to add some photos of my chest (so tw for scars and my bare chest) and this post is long.

My personal top surgery experience 

The Waiting-List Period

Okay so I had to wait over 2 years for the surgery because I’d never be able to afford paying for the surgery privately so I went through the public system so I didn’t have to pay for the surgery or hospital stuff with the downside being the insane wait period (which has only gotten worst now). So I waited about a year to even have my first face-to-face consultation and then waited about another year until I got told that I’ll be having my surgery sort of out of no where with little warning.

So I had a few weeks to prepare which involved stocking my freezer with lots of pre-made meals (which is a must! Especially soups since they’re not to heavy on your stomach), buying lots of towels (since you should only use the towel once then rewash it in bleach after each use), and a ton of pillows, a chair and loaf on a stick for the shower.   

The Waiting Pre-surgery

So I packed an overnight bag which was just comfy clothes to leave the hospital in (button-up or zip shirt is a must because you can’t lift your arms up much) and had three of my friends come with me to the hospital. Which was pretty much waiting a whole bunch until they called me into the day surgery part where you’re only allowed one person at a time in with you. That’s where you put the gown on and a bunch of doctors and the anaesthetist see you to chat. (I was asked literally 50 times to repeat my name and the surgery I was having). 

The surgery

I then had to say goodbye to my friends and they wheeled me off in bed to this tiny waiting room (which I waited in by myself for an hour because the surgery before me was taking longer then they had prepared for). That’s when I had a bunch more doctors come in to see me, a surgeon come in to draw on my chest, and then the anaesthetist to put the needle in my hand (which fucking sucked). 

By far the scariest part was they made me get out of the bed and walk over to the surgery room and get me to lay down of the table. It’s a very thin table with separate arm rests and there’s tools and massive lights everywhere and doctors just casually in the room. By that point they gave me anti-anxiety meds and I passed out from those before they put the mask on me lol. They also put you on a ventilator while you’re under and they have to wake you up to take it out. I don’t remember that part but I had mouth ulsters from it. 

After Surgery

I remember waking up in the post-surgery room where there where other people in beds next to mine and doctors / nurses around me but I kept drifting in and out and I felt really sick. 

Next time I came around I was a little sick but otherwise surprising fine. I had to pee a ton cause they put alot of fluid in your via the IV and the drains suck. They also had to wake us up every 2 hours to do blood pressure and stuff. 

The first time I got up to use the actual bathroom and not a bed pan (you have to carry the drains with you which is gross af) I felt super sick but after that by the next day I was ready to leave. They cut all the bandages off let me have a look then I had to put my pre-op binder on. 

One of the worst parts was getting the drains taken out. They sort of just pull them out like starting a lawn mower and you can sort of feel it (though it’s not painful). After that I was allowed to go home. So I just spent the one night in the hospital.  

After-surgery photo.

The recovery period

I was surprising alright and could walk and sit up, and had a shower straight away once I got home because I was covered in like betadine. 

You had to wear the pre-op binder all the time (expect for showering) and I hated actually taking it off because the pressure of it just felt good. Your chest feels sort of tight and sore so not having the binder on sucks.

I spent alot of the next week lying in bed and having my roommates take care of me, which was mostly reheating food for me. I think a must for surgery is getting a small firm pillow you can hold against your chest, idk it just made getting up and everything easier on my chest. 

It’s really hard sleeping on your side and I hated sleeping on my back so arranging pillow so you’re sort of on your side helps a ton. 

About a week after surgery

I had to keep the tape and nipple coverings on for the next two weeks before seeing my GP to have her take them off and redress it all. I then had my first post-op after about three weeks and could stop wearing the binder. Then after my second post-op got told I could stop taping the scars. 

The Present and So On 

So now It’s been about 6 weeks and I’m all nice and healed, and adjusted super quickly to just not having to bind and getting to just wear shirts (though it’s super weird at first). Now It’s just putting cream (I use BioOil) on the scars. 

Here’s what my chest looks like now.

Overall my experience was really great and I had next to no pain, minus nausea and a bit of discomfort. Like getting a tattoo hurt more than surgery for me.

But the guy in the same room as me (who also had top surgery) ended up having to go back in for surgery two more times because he ended up having a hematoma and he had alot of pain. So it really does depend on your body and just luck.

TIPS

get a haircut right before surgery (I did not do this and my beard and hair were uncomfortably wild before I had the energy to get my hair cut)

Do what your surgery tells you to do and voice any questions / concerns you have. 

make a ton of pre-made food you can store in the freezer

have someone stay at home with you at least the first few days after surgery. You might need someone to help you get up to go to the bathroom, cook meals, shower ect.

don’t lift anything heavy - ask for help and don’t push yourself

get a ton of pillows and a firm out you can hug to your chest

buy lots of button or zip-up shirts

get laxatives (just in case you get constipated)

take at least a month off work / studying / whatever

Hope this ramble about my surgery helps somewhat.

TT Hero Ian Hutchinson to ride at the Bike Bonanza

Mallory Park is delighted to announce that TT hero Ian Hutchinson will be one of the guests of honour at this year’s Mallory Park Bike Bonanza, in association with Lexelle and Mackenzie Hodgson Insurance, on July 15/16. Earlier this year, ‘Hutchy’ suffered a stroke while out cycling, yet despite doctors giving him the all clear to drive a car, the ACU withdrew his racing licence for a year. The Bonanza however, under Mallory’s jurisdiction, allows Hutchy to ride in the Master’s Parade sessions. Hutchy said: “After my stroke, the ACU pulled my racing licence for a year. I’m gutted because it means I’ll miss the TT. But I’ll definitely be at Mallory. I’m looking forward to meeting the fans, and I’m excited about being able to do some laps there on a BMW.” Mallory has a special place in Hutchy’s racing memories: “My first ever race was at Mallory Park. I was riding a 600 S-Rad Suzuki and finished fourth in a New Era meeting. I’ve still got the bike. Maybe I should get it prepped for the Bonanza,” he quipped. Hutchy, 43 and from West Yorkshire, is known as one of the most committed, determined characters the sport has ever seen and has won 16 TT races, his first one coming in 2007, followed by two more on the Island in 2009. A year later came his incredible record-breaking five solos wins in a week during the 2010 TT. In what was a truly great season he also won a North West 200 Supersport race, three races at the Ulster GP, and the Scarborough Gold Cup – only for his career to be plunged into doubt at the end of that season when he suffered terrible leg injuries in a crash at Silverstone. Despite a lengthy rehabilitation process, hampered by rebreaking his leg in a freak accident at the London Motorcycle Show in 2012, Hutchy fought back to win three TT races in 2015, another three in 2016, and two in 2017, but his glittering career continues to be blighted by injuries and ill-luck. He broke his femur in a 2017 TT crash but fought his way back to fitness yet again. Then this year he was preparing to race for the Milwaukee BMW Motorrad by TAS Racing team, only to suffer a stroke while out training on a pre-season cycling ride in Spain earlier this year.
