1:54.2 - $964,318. Bay Horse, Foaled 1989, 15.2 Hands.
Balanced Image, who headed the North American trotting sires list on a number of occasions, was a tough “son of a gun” and his Earl has inherited many of his traits.
Earl, who arrived in New Zealand in 2001 as a shuttle sire, has now taken up permanent residency.
He is still having an impact on both sides of the globe with his daughter Spare Time Rozie 1:52.2 becoming Canada’s fastest ever female trotter in 2007 and Earl Of Mot becoming the fastest trotter in Australia recently with his 1:56.2 clocking at Menangle.
With only two crops of foals to represent him Earl has finished third on the NZ Sires Premiership for trotters in 2007/8 with Mountbatten being his standout performer.
• Winner of the Breeders Crown, Maple Leaf Trot and $964,318.
• Sire in Canada of the winners of over $25 million including two millionaires.
• Sire of New Zealand 2yo Trotter of the Year Galleons Assassin.
• Sire the winners of 2 Breeders Crown Final (Aust), NZ Trotting Derby and NZ Trotting Oaks (twice).

Mares by Chiola Hanover have worked well with Earl and resulted in the stakeswinners Galleons Assassin, Earl Of Mot and Ella Powell.
Sundon mares also appear well suited to Earl and already this cross has resulted in Mountbatten.
The Speedy Crown line mares have crossed successfully with Earl. Such Speedy Crown stallions include Armbro Invasion, Gee Whiz and Pernod Eden.
Mares carrying a dose of Game Pride have also had success with Earl.
Also any reinforcement of Speedster and Stars Pride through the dam appears to be desirable.
