🐴 Super Seths colt Linebacker, the judicious detail to this sires pedigree as endorsed –Super Seth , sire arise post…💯

Linebacker – @2nd in a G1 race & confidence builds…

2yo Linebacker – Super Seth – Garden of Swans by Oasis Dream – 4×5 Dancing Brave (Lyphard) + 4×5 Danzig. (pedigree)

Lyphard 6x5x6 – due to our discrimination upon pedigree his genetic factors weighing to a pedigree surpass normalcy.

Lyphard he’s up there with then all: Princequillo and daughters, Hyperion and daughters, War Admiral and daughters, Lyphard has the cutting-edge transmittance his genetics need heavy appreciation upon a contemporary breeding model.

(…be patient and absorb details about Ancestors because the information lays a foundation for what follows……..certain ancestors need to be mentioned) Ken McLean – Australian bloodstock writer.

Firstly Lyphard’s son Dancing Brave, a medium-sized bay to a perfect temperament, speed, brilliant acceleration and he stayed a mile and a half. Big races won 2000 Guineas, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes, Eclipse Stakes, Prix de l’ Arc de Triomphe, Craven Stakes (beating Green Desert by 3 lengths) all in same year, 1986. It was the Prix de l’ Arc de Triomphe where he came alarmingly late to win in brilliant style, and record time, from one of the strongest fields since WWII.

Lyphard – sire of sires & particularly French sires. Pharly, Bellypha, Lypheor (sire of Royal Heroine, US champion mare 1984 – ran world record in 1m 32 sec for mile in Breeders Cup) – Three Troikas (champion 3YO in France Horse of the Year France) – Durtal (champion at 2 in England) – Esprit du Nord (champion 3YO in Italy) – Monteverdi (champion 2yo in England & Ireland)

Esprit du Nord– Grosser Preis von Europa (GER-G1 2.400m)

Lyphard from dam Goofed by Court Martial by Fair Trial, a producer of racing 2 yr olds. ^^5×5 Chouberski 5×5 Basse Terre (formats onwards the Ksar, Tourbillon male-lines et al) with 3 strains of the quintessential **Harkaway via King Tom & mare, The Golden Horn (seen to Rabelais). In a nutshell, these certain as of, crossed strains come not freely about and for this reason alone, Lyphard is the foremost carrier.

Northern Dancer and Danzig. the ND son, Danzig – 5x5x4x5. Danzig = 28 strains St Simon – 7 strains Carbine – 2 Hyperion + Selene’s son Pharamond. @ Carbine/Spearmint appreciate where its Line infuses, the inheritance mitDNA @ Catnip (Nearco) Mother Goose, (Northern Dancer), Petition, Steady Aim. And further to this untouchable Spearmint influence, goes another **Harkaway influence via son Skylark, 2nd dam sire Maid of the Mint. @ 10 strains Sainfoin – from dam Sanda, the taproot family 2. What can be observed & once again is the L4 molecular.

In reference to Lyphard’s dam Goofed re , Chouberski > Ksar/Tourbillon – we find Dundeel sire of Super Seth has 4th dam Sweet Violet to carry 5 strains Ksar.

(important side-note) a 3% TB population to has implied a slow development to racehorse phenotype or of a 2 year old negative capability. It leads to an overall breeding population male-line as exceptionally close to extinction. Primarily the so desired speed-gene variant was narrated to single-founder a British mare. However, it comes to new light 2023 Newsletter and do let’s hope hope or think the Byerley Turk genetics deserve more scrutiny, than ever presumed.

SINE insertion and a SNP variant in the myostatin (MSTN) gene are
associated with optimum racing distance in Thoroughbred horses. The MSTNSINE insertion was found in Turkoman as well as Thoroughbred horses. DNA
sequencing showed more variation in the region for the Turkoman than the
Thoroughbred suggesting a more ancient origin in Turkoman horses. Further
investigation is ongoing to find out if the Turkoman horse was the source of the
SINE-S variant in Thoroughbreds (Navid Mashouf, University of Kentucky).

As potential is cream to the top Dundeel’s 7 + strains @#BT, his type upon Super Seth with a Lyphard influence, has the optional range of which opens Centaine by Century > My Babu/Djebel. Look to 2YO Super Seth gelding https://www.pedigreequery.com/super+photon

What a pedigree for mare, Magic Time (Hellbent – Time Awaits from Nicconi).

Star Kingdom 7S x 8S x 7D x 6D (Royal Artist (I am Invincible), Kaoru Star ) – Bletchingly 5sx5d + 6 strains of Olympia has the dominate @25 strains Hyperion, dam Selene f.f. 6-e. Hyperion thru distaff, 7th dam as grand sire + 4 strains to Chanteclair (AUS) The f.f. 6e also appears through Big Game & Mossborough to appreciate all, L3a1b.

Hyperion = the lazy little colt standing at 15.1 1/2hh with a huge popularity stemming from his lack of size. Hyperion’s trainer George Lambton was regularly suffering from bad-health and Lord Derby determined to retire Lambton post Hyperion’s popular Derby win as the smallest Derby winner since Little Wonder in 1840. The new trainer completely underrated Hyperion’s need for and his capacity for hard work and was half fit when going to Ascot for the Gold Cup where Hyperion ran third, with his last race running second. Champion sire for six times, siring 7 Classic winners, his greatest influence as a sire of broodmares inclusive: Alycidon, Carrozza, Citation, Parthia, Ribocco and Ribero. Hyperion was known for a delightful and lovable character. (Julian Wilson’s 100 Greatest Racehorses)

the ND son, Danzig – 5x5x4x5. Danzig = 28 strains St Simon – 7 strains Carbine – 2 Hyperion + Selene’s son Pharamond. @ Carbine/Spearmint appreciate where its Line infuses, the inheritance mitDNA @ Catnip, Mother Goose, Petition, Steady Aim. 10 strains Sainfoin.

Two more Haplotypes which are significant to the Magic Time pedigree are i) L2b1a, upon mare’s distaff family 3-g alongside family 1-W (Perfume, Lavendula family) – it belonging to Alycidon, (Danzero) & My Babu (Crested Wave) & ii) L1a, family 2f seen to Marsolve, 2x Round Table, Exbury, Atan male line of Kris. The L1a haplotype is akin to/of family 9c.

It is the Danzig and Bletchingly its families 7-a make for outstanding strains,, a familiar Australian cross. The Haplotype has L3a1a.

Having long considered Haplotype L4 (family 2h, Martha Lynn, distinguishes a peak trait quality to superior genotype pedigree, it determines or offers the genomic evaluation is affecting a desirable racing phenotype, noting the ‘pattern’ was already remarkable.

She (Martha Lynn) appears as the dam of Voltigeur (who through Vedette and Galopin is the putative great-grandsire of St. Simon), of Voltigeur’s sister Volley (grand-dam of Lord Clifden, who is the male-line of Hyperion), and of Eulogy, the dam of Clemence, who, in addition to being dam of Bend Or, is also grand-dam of the great racehorse, and important sire Carbine – credit https://issuu.com/international_thoroughbred/docs/itb_august2021/s/12865199

A core set of genes, G6PC2, HDAC9, KTN1, MYLK2, NTM, SLC16A1 and SYNDIG1, with central roles in muscle, metabolism, and neurobiology, are key drivers of the racing phenotype. https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-022-04206-x

A stamina quality and free action has magic and one wonders how such extraordinary ability is catalysed through breeding.

The 6 yo bay mare Pride of Jenni by Pride of Dubai from Sancerre (NZ) by O’Reilly where Pride of Jenni & Winx share Street Cry & Success Express to their pedigrees.

Pride of Jenni assigned G2, female family 9-h, from a Princequillo daughter How.

Broadly – the Princequillo/Nasrullah/Hyperion is long classic sire compelling. Princequillo bred daughters for stamina, Nasrullah’s speed, Hyperion action complementary to overall genetic phenotype. Hyperion, (+ Bosworth, Sansovino, Sir Tristram ) through @ female family 6-e has L3a1b where science places necessity to racehorse phenotype, been with the particular marker genes. The families belonging to 9-C (Mahmoud, Fair Trial, Aristophanes) reveal L1 and its Haplotype shall also include family 2-f viz, Knights Daughter 3rd dam of Tell, sire of Pompei Court, sire of the wonderful Courtza, dam of O’Reilly. Knights Daughter the dam of sire, Round Table by Princequillo as seen to Artaius, 2nd dam sire to Pride of Dubai.

Since Winx & Zenyatta’s racing days, one can always be fully accepting to great sire Street Cry and it goes also with applause to the influence of Troy. Troy was a big, powerfully built bay & Troy’s ancestress Morel also belonging to that of Princequillo female-family 1-b N2a. The Haplotype duly the Norwegian Fjord pony and what can be deduced genetically, to its tough, durability character. Indeed, that sounds like Princequillo!

A top-class staying two-year old, Troy reached his peak in the weeks leading up to the 200th Derby. With an awkward run at Tattenham Corner, Troy remarkably won by seven lengths. Troy only had 4 seasons as a stallion, dying at age 7 from a perforated intestine. He sired Helen Street and the rest (as they say) is breeding history. (ie, Street Cry & Shamardal by Giants Causeway.

Factoring in a Haplotype and family belonging to 16-a, its long genetic durability sits deep n’ true: Sir Gallahad, & Bull Dog (sired by Teddy of the male-line Orme (Angelica, daughter of St Angela, dam of St. Simon) goes from dam Plucky Leige by Spearmint by Carbine) Sir Gallahad’s/Bull Dog sire of Bull Lea forth appearance to Mr Prospector, Nijinsky, Hold your Peace, Tom Fool, Success Express.

A recapitulation: – TBL Readers might take history, the pedigree & observations to Harkaway, the Irish Eclipse & King of the Curragh as appearing in pedigrees St Angela and Papyrus, Princequillo’s b/m sire. The rarity, the phenomena Harkaway ‘ran any distance, carry any weight and distance horses‘ where enthusiasts of the day paid extraordinary sums to see, as they did believe, one of the wonders of the world. Yet the old Harkaway blood went forgotten and (weirdly) despised to & in favour The Baron (Birdcatcher) bloodline. (reference 1865 – R. Copperthwaite)

(n.b. notes on the Harkaway strain – Simonath-Papyrus female family 16-f, the Australian bred gelding CRISP carried under 12 stone and though just beaten by Red Rum in 5-strides, it was Crisp’s front-running performance at the 1973 Aintree Grand National helped to lower the course record from 9 minutes, 20.4 seconds to 9 minutes 1.90 seconds.) Crisp carried top weight of 12st 7lb and won in brilliant style by 15 lengths at a two-mile handicap chase at Wincanton. At Cheltenham, on a dead-track, he won the two-mile Champion Chaae by twenty five lengths. Crisp pedigree. ) article – https://www.telegraph.co.uk/racing/2021/03/12/story-crisp-whose-heroic-defeat-73-grand-national-helped-tee/

It may seem two female strains alone to any pedigree might seem minor but when you see whom it influences, the thinking changes. Those influential are: –

i) Helen Street, re 4th dam sire Worden from Tara’s daughter Sans Taras.

ii) Zabeel. 4th dam sire Norseman, dam Tara

The great dam Tara where we discussed her fine presence last blog and for your interest its another G1 win (ATC Queen of the Turf) just last weekend for Zougotcha.

The undeniable fact remains that the remarkable victory of Pride of Jenni can be attributed to some extraordinaire influence few racehorses can claim.

2024 G1 winner Coolmore Classic (Australia) – a 3yo filly by Zoustar (AUS) from Fast Talker (Fastnet Rock)

Pedigree HERE

As Thoroughbreds are to racing and breeding Industry, Australasian genetics come tough, resilient. The successful lines as former crossed in from either home-bred or ‘selective’ sires upgrading, the appealing lines are a diverse option and should continue any international pedigree.

Our subject pedigree by Zoustar, the filly Zougotcha (if sold) just may be the next high-value mare as was the Zoustar bred Sunlight when sold to Coolmore Australia for $4.2 mill.

Zougotcha has💥💥💥Vain/Wilkes (7x6x7) /Court Martial by Fair Trial

Remembering French bred Wilkes, a Champion Australian Sire 3 times and Champion Sire of 2YO 4 times. He was bought as a ‘punt’ in good-ocker style. The wonderful Wilkes when imported was decisive to the future of Australian breeding. (Link)

Wilkes dam Sans Taren was saved from the spoils of WWII and sent as a juvenile to the USA and later returned to France. She is producer of Wilkes and half brother Worden and her daughter La Rochelle, is 2nd dam of Le Fabuleux, broodmare sire of Unbridled (USA).

Her dam Tara, the dam of Norseman (FR by Umidwar) is marked @ 4×4 Orm (3xOrmonde). Orm’s dam Angelica is the daughter of St Angela dam of St Simon. TBL has identified Angelica/St Angela for the few lines available outside of St Simon shall link the possibility of incredible unimaginable potency.

👇👇👇

**(For example, Sir Cosmo – broodmare sire of Knights Daughter demonstrates Haplotypes @ St Angela upon family 11-c come assigned#I2a1. This Haplotype sister to Regulus, a #Godolphin Arabian sire-son to broodmare sire by Bald Galloway). https://www.pedigreequery.com/monarchy

San Tares: credit SportsHorsedData

Her sire Teddy, from b/m sire Neil Gow by Marco (#Godolphin Arabian) curves the pedigree to another dimension.

Wilkes – the sire of 4th daughter to sire Zoustar distaff. Zoustar’s family belonging to f.f. 8-k and having prior posted its particular distaff to that of a Harkaway daughter Austrey . How superiorly unique and elite could it be? Re-casting the Irish Eclipse Harkway to the Herod, Eclipse pedigree inherit spectrum is the long-held vitality, family 2 assigned, L4 from a Nabocklish mare taking up 4x Herod strains.

Rise n’ fall of lines is more over observing to utilizing an individual – sire/dam merits, to have its traits re-emerge to the current individual. The distinguishment of Wilkes, his dam Sans Taren takes 💥star-quality to filly Zougotcha.

Through such perspective, we’ve targeted Papyrus. Isolating Papyrus influences to Zoustar 7×5 Star Kingdom +S.K. thru Mauruding + 2nd dam Ribot (influences Danehill) Better Honey/Honeyway (influences Fastnet Rock) + Round Table’s sire Princequillo > Princequillo daughter, the 3rd dam of Fappiano. Once again the Papyrus female distaff runs to a Harkaway daughter as 6th dam. Papyrus has 4×3 St Simon hence b/m sire King Tom by Harkaway. Further a Marcovil (#GA) daughter Miss Matty and sire Tracery, where b/m sire Orme takes a Angelica/St Angela strain – a potency as indicated above.

Papyrus was owned by an English tenant farmer Ben Irish. Lord Derby’s horse was tagged on the heels of the farmer’s horse as the two flashed down to the end of the race, thwarting Lord Derby’s fondest desire of winning the classic race. (June 7 1923)

Targeting, @Byerley Turk rather than numerous duplications alone but pointedly calculating its blood. Century & dam line Snippets, Twig-Moss. The et al individuals as ‘group(s)’ belong, remain integrity. Should that quality ever go dismissed, then do focus at a TB-od1b Crown Haplotype to remind @BT model-enhancement has genotype advancement.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8871751/figure/genes-13-00229-f001

@ Zougotcha – whilst indeed 4×3 Danehill, (3 strains Danzig) + 5×5 Mr Prospector – the principle potency can be further imprinted & intensified acutely.

*****

Zoustar’s European G1 2yo winner Lezoo (IRE (Zoustar – Red Sez ex- Red Clubs & we note, the dams b/m sire Robellino is from the distaff to a Princequillo daughter (f.f.2-f) as is highlighted **above.

  • @ Lezoo’s 2nd dam, Stately Princess:The stamp of Honeyway, a Honeyway daughter to sire Double Form inclusive Princequillo appears
  • + in Goyama > Double Form

Aligning the well-bred phenotype and identifying super star potential is much about what are the desirable bloodline strains. The thoroughbred creation is hybrid-complex for the overtures ranges upon genuine influences.

TBL post Seattle Slew goes to explore where Slew’s genetic influence (dominant) throws. The Bernardini daughter features: Nysos – Nyquist – Zetta Z (4×5 Fappiano)by broodmare sire Bernardini (pedigree)

Nyquis’s sire Uncle Mo the descendant tail-male Grey Sovereign distinguishes some unknown eternal quality factor of Caro – the Precipitation influence + Fortino’s Relic influence where a defining Overview @ #Godolphin Arabian hence gathers bloodline Type structure. Further (@ Seattle Slew went to War Admiral daughters affixing #Godolphin Arabian pheno)

Caro to Unbridled Song > Nysos Caro 6sx6d.

Caro was something of an odd man (or horse) out in the breeding world of the late 1970s. (Link article)

Seemingly, its often-remarked Unbridled Song got ‘faults’: these Caro tail-male descendant sires numerously claimed as unremarkable (?)

Nutting it down it shall seem the basic problems overtures to a Type attribute: causes gets 2yo ‘big’ horse bred type as raced on demand. Rather than calling caution its about Discernment.

@ line-bred, the 19xNasrullah – 14x Princequillo cross goes basis to Speed and stamina. The Princequillo sons and daughters prime the Nysos profile and not forgetting Princequillo daughter Cequillo is dam of bold influence Fappiano (Nysos 5×6) and 3rd dam of Quiet American (4×3 Cequillo).

Cequillo b/m sire Mahmoud (f.f.9-c) assigns #L1aHaplotype with that of Nasrullah where Mahmoud’s phenomenal influence impacts so heavily many more than just amongst from Northern Dancer & pointedly to Nysos pedigree Glorious Song (CAN) (you can compare types, Caro & Mahmoud). Nysos 8x Mahmoud.

Haplotype L3a1b strikes through families 8c – Uncle Mo, Storm Cat, Red God, Bold Commander.

Haplotype I2a1 belonging to – Siberian Express, Forestry, Mr Prospector,

Count Fleet (Nysos 5x). Aside from his influence to Mr Prospector it would seem these days overlooked from other available lines from his daughters. The Triple Crown winner was a fine racing specimen & in his own right he reminds one of the Sundridge pheno. Pay homage to his pedigree specimens of gold: Sundridge (2x Sanda) – The Tetrarch, the 7x Lexington daughters with 7x Harkaway influence

And so delivers the super elite…

🐴 racehorse genetics that go on to perform.

A New Zealand bred mare, the Centaine daughter became South Africa’s own…her line, 3rd dam Princess Royal (Captain Al, a Roberto tail-male line) dam of subject pedigree Princess Calla (SAF). https://www.pedigreequery.com/princess+calla

With astute judgement, it paved the way to results and success, her career https://www.sportingpost.co.za/princess-calla-and-the-search-for-greatness/ – consolidates racehorse versatility, constitution and adaptability.

Princess Calla’s US bred sire Flower Alley was winner of the G1 Travers Stakes and joined the South Africa stallion roster 2015 as purchased by Wilgerbosdrift Stud. Sire of many competent performers, his mark as a stallion to current pedigrees are Queen Elizabeth II cup winner, the Japan bred Lucky Lilac (Orfevre). https://www.pedigreequery.com/lucky+lilac2. His son, I’ll Have Another, the 2012 Kentucky Derby winner left a number of listed stakes winners in Japan returning to reside at http://www.oceanbreezeranch.com/illhaveanother California.

By pedigree – Flower Alley’s dam (Princess Olivia) – distinctive for 5×5 Goofed, dam of those wonderful genetics in Lyphard and her G1 winning daughter Nobiliary but for breeding, the unfortunate mare. Goofed is Flower Alley’s 5th dam female line and reines-de-course mare. Princess Olivia also dam of Japan bred, Tosen Ra (Deep Impact, 3x Goofed) & Spielberg.

Forever impressive by the impact of Lyphard genetics upon international breeding, especially its worth to the superior champions of Japan’s breeding. Though usual credit goes to breed-shaper sire Northern Dancer, dam Goofed i) by Court Martial by Fair Trial from a Hurry On dam ii) 5×5 Basse Terre + 5×5 Chouberski that paves a strong genetic hallway to . It is evident this is not about the historical ‘BT’ context but rather a recovery to itself.

We could race draft horses over most any surface, and their bones are strong enough it wouldn’t matter. But, the thoroughbred maintains only the minimum skeleton that is sufficient to carry them around the track. Excess skeleton is added weight and penalized the horse’s speed. So, the light skeleton is a speed advantage, unless it gets too light to carry its owner, and then it fails. This is why we will never eliminate injuries totally. Success is predicated on the fact that our athletes carry the minimum skeleton necessary. They run right on the edge of their physiology.

Dr. Larry Bramlage describes here, when talking about why racehorses will always break down (if we breed for speed):
Dr. Bramlage is an internationally recognized equine orthopedic surgeon 

The mare Goofed, her individuals as above are bone medicine…

Princess Calla broodmare sire Captain Al (SAF). An outstanding champion sire and broodmare sire and his Listed Line-bred (https://www.pedigreequery.com/linebreeding/captain+al2) are the par excellence. Captain Al record speaks for itself – a once in a lifetime stallion he passed 2017.

A prolific source of two-year-old talent, Captain Al was South Africa’s Leading Sire of 2YOs on no fewer than eight occasions, with the half-brother to dual G1 winner Shadow Dancing topping that South African premiership in 2008-2009,2009-2010, 2010-2011, 2011-2012, 2012-2013, 2013-2014, 2014-2015, and 2015-2016

https://www.turftalk.co.za/captain-al-a-true-south-african-legend/

The breeding to a carriage of certain genetics is high-end important and its integration pivotal. The morpho in principle – stay in the Bones: a superior profile shall remain, its consistentcy to name a few.

Princess Calla (5S x 6S x 5S x 4D N.D. ) Where Northern Dancer is generally placed as solution to pedigree formulation, his hybrid scope upon other lines remains a subject still topical. By way, Northern Dancer’s focus may be drawn upon 3x Spearmint (Carbine) + 16x St Angela (King Tom/Harkaway).

@Captain Al, the 15x Spearmint factor thru daughters 2x Baby Polly (Pretty Polly family) – Catnip – Entanglement – Plucky Leige (dam of Bull Dog, Sir Gallahad & Admiral Drake – shaping Haplotye L4. The TBL supposition relationship @ St Simon by King Tom/Hastings from St Angela > Hastings sire of Fair Play bears Captain Al’s 8x Fair Play with 10x St Simon incurring family 2 arrangement assigned L4. Can the genetic Value ever be better interpretated > “Success is predicated on the fact that our athletes carry the minimum skeleton necessary. They run right on the edge of their physiology”

@Princess Olivia (dam, Flower Alley) 8x Spearmint. Of daughters – another strain Baby Polly (Vienna) Seaweed (Vaguely Noble), son Chicle sire of Mother Goose + Fair Trial 6S x 8D x 6D + 5x Chouberski + 5x Basse Terre

@ Distorted Humour – 12x Spearmint (principally daughter 9x Plucky Leige – 10x Fair Play

To the international spectrum – NZ genetics forever remain dynamic. It happens this distaff – the New Zealand bred Philomena line goes back @ 4x Harkaway not alone at King Tom, but Harkaway daughter Austrey – grand dam of Australian sire Chester. Another to Harkaway daughter Chaseaway is that to family 1-d distaff Vaguely Noble. Another factor has the Philomena line also takes St Angela, her daughter Angelica sire of Orme.

While Harkaway sits to the past it is obvious that Harkaway was a ‘Notable’ influence, laterally overlooked. And what we do find by science literature confessing (of sort): ‘many other influential stallions and refining breeds are not defined’. (Article). (Harkaway from a Nabocklish mare @ 3dx3d Bagot, 4x4x4x4 Herod.

II) The refinement of the Evolutionary Y Haplotype is not completed yet examination of the Crown Y Haplotype (Figure 3 B Crown demonstrates the signature @BT its future inheritance breeding population is immeasurable. But the point really goes @BT blood, as ‘said’ the lowest contribution percentage (3.3%) to the TB population however ‘when’ by critical mass effected, it is explosive.

Grey Sovereign (Nasrullah), Palestine (Fair Trial), Court Martial, Spearmint/Carbine, My Babu, Star Kingdom, Sir Tristram – come on through New Zealand Gold.

The sire Written Tycoon- 5S x 6S x 7s Star Kingdom / 5×5 ***My Babu (Djebel)

Velocious winner 2024 Karaka Millions 2yo (1200m)

Written Tycoon, a Grey Sovereign (Nasrullah) tail-male line down through the French Bred Kenmare (Kalamoun) to Fortino expresses a 2yo bred to race pedigree. Grey Sovereign was a leading 2yo sire in Britain and France. Fortino influences Velocious 3rd dam. Grey Sovereign 6S x 8d (thru Snippets) x 6D

@ 3x Grey Sovereign by Nasrullah, (+ Never Bend, Nearula, Orgoglio, Thicket, Mistyday, Bold Ruler, Red God) additionally observe Fair Trial influence to Vain 2nd dam sire of Written Tycoon.

Excelled dominance is Star Kingdom. 🐴Biscay, NoHolme and Fairy Dream. Interestingly, Written Tycoon sire of stallion Capitalist (a Golden Slipper & champion 2yo performer) also represents Star Kingdom’s influence thru dam.

It is crucial to appreciate the dynastical Star Kingdom is in any contemporary pedigree ie US sire Curlin. Not only a Hyperion tail-male carrier: with *2x Sunstar (Sundridge) & 3x Canterbury Pilgrim (dam of Swynford) & Papyrus – Star Kingdom carries numerous line-bred Dynamites to the likes of Newminster & Lady Angela. (*notes 2x Sunstar @ Romanella dam of Ribot + Papyrus, 2nd dam sire of Ribot. At its ‘pattern’ Sunstar/Sundridge/Papyrus similarity -seen to Argentina mare Trevisa (Advocate) dam of FORLI by ARISTOPHANES/HYPERION

🐴Biscay went undefeated as a two year old. 4th: Champion Juvenile Sire in 1981-82 and 1985-86. Successful sire and great pedigree influence. Sire of 45 Stakes Winners for 85 Stakes wins incl. 10 Gr.1 Winners. Sire of Champion Sires Bletchingly, Marscay, Zephr & subject Biscay.

Before days ‘type’ tail-male went to its decline, clustering @ ‘Djebel’ to australian pedigrees was statistically miles in front. A close & similar account (statistically beyond expectations) upon studies to US pedigrees ex- Rommy Faversham (Inbreeding to Superior Females) – stood upon My Babu/Amborix/Klairon. How these vigorous historical sire lines mainstay pedigree is to at least understand that a classic speed character heads alongside its stamina to maintain itself at high pace, regardless of distance – and as ‘strain’ that gets such quality it is highly critical.

Storm Boy AUS (Justify – Pelican ex- Fastnet Rock)

Australia and New Zealand is a-buzz with news – https://www.justhorseracing.com.au/news/australian-racing/storm-boy-sold-to-coolmore/803125

At pedigree matters, it is with the (https://www.pedigreequery.com/storm+boy12 ) kiwi tones of nostalgia to the grand-dam Seachange by Cape Cross: New Zealand Horse of the Year – 2006/2007 & 7x G1 New Zealand wins (1400m -1600m)

Her daughter & dam of Storm Boy, Pelican by Fastnet Rock (AUS) was exported to Australia 2019.

By Justify, the remarkable 2yo colt Storm Boy displays dazzling speed. His November trial got the secret out…👇

the Pedigree stuff

@ 5x Nijinsky takes up a master-class pedigree.

Nijinksy the female-family 8f L3a1b. His dam Flaming Page (below). noting to Bloodlines.net a Byerley Turk mare foundation

The proven G1 broodmare sire Fastnet Rock (Danehill), is an Australian 3yo champion & champion sprinter. Pedigree matters the ‘speed’ 2YO family.

He is from a Royal Academy mare – R.A dam Crimson Saint (ped @ 2x) and dam of Terlingua, sire of Storm Cat been Justify’s tail-mail. The Haplotype attributed to Crimson Saint by sire, Crimson Satan, (f.f.26) is B1a. By its distaff to the great Argentina reine-de-course mare Papila and ancestral line to Cypron, dam of Herod. As far as pedigree matters go Storm Cat and Royal Academy lining up in the pedigree is a no-brainer.

As exploring Haplotypes to demystifying unique affinities – another makes for plausible conclusion – L1a.

L1a is assigned to speed quality, thru female family 9-c, Mumtaz Begum genetic children aka Nasrullah, Royal Charger, Fair Trial and more. Yet, there are two more outside of the 9-c family. The family is 2-f.

Storm Boy has @ f.f.2-f via, Justify’s grand-sire Johannesburg, Pulpit & Fastnet Rock. – focus is at Haplotype/genotype relationship not pursuant alone to racing individuals. (n.b. this important Haplotype is represented by Japanese international sire Deep Impact, from the distaff, Feola/Aloe.

  Applying f.f.2-f integrated f.f. 9-c – as seen to the Storm Boy pedigree, it aligns with Fair Trial, Migoli, Commotion, Tudor Minstrel, Nasrullah, Royal Charger, Mahmoud. Additionally, @ family2-f > Round Table (thru Marauding) & Aureole (see Storm Boy’s 4th dam influence by tail-male) to encompass Haplotype L1a line.

The Golden Sixty ‘gears’ shall come upon careful consideration of both genetic lineage(s) & pedigree, Damascus. The Damascus Blue-blood influence positions upon an extraordinary potency ‘unmatched’.

Accounting ancestry influences, re-count the previous TBL blogs giving praise to the Irish Eclipse Harkaway – majorly to his ‘mark’ upon the St Simon pedigree via broodmare sire King Tom. And, Harkaway also influences Hastings (scientifically inconclusive to Hastings https://www.tbheritage.com/Portraits/Cinderella.html BUT Harkaway’s genetic influence appears - Tomahawk/King Tom/Harkaway makes for a probable line, duly morphology and trait bearing characters.

One cannot help but wonder to the esteemed tail-male genetics enduring. – subject pedigree Wentrue (Chi), colt, by Mo Town. A tail male that began from Nasrullah‘s son Grey Sovereign down through to Uncle Mo, son & sire Mo Town.

Uncle Mo

Uncle Mo – the undefeated two year old champion of 2010. His racing career was interrupted due to liver disease contracting cholangiohepatitis, yet he was able to continue with exceptional ability. As Sire he made an extraordinary start to his prolific breeding career & his sons exemplify a Nasrullah/Grey Sovereign male line say: ” it just keeps producing“.

Grey Sovereign – (credit site Rimondo)
A Grey Sovereign grand-son alike, One Pound Sterling,

The ‘Alpha’ Inheritance began…

Grey Sovereign was a leading 2yo sire Britain and France with/from – 5×4 Swynford, 5×5 Sundridge, and 4×5 **The Tetrarch + 5×5 Polymelus. Gold Sovereign, his sons/grandsons breeding went international & are still highly regarded, & targeted to this day.

What Great Breeders Think?

The accolades of Dr Fager & Fappiano are to be exalted, as follows 👇👇

Fappiano (1977, by Mr. Prospector and Killaloe by Dr. Fager) is, as has been said by some, specialists in the field, one of the most important paternal lines in The United States (excerpt & credit https://elevageyturf.blogspot.com/2014/12/la-vigencia-de-fappiano-colaboracion-de.html

Fappiano

Of an ‘exposed’ bred pattern since 2013, the Fappiano factor come like genetic thunder.

**The Tetrarch (sire of Mumtaz Mahal, dam of Mahmoud). Wentrue’s dam distaff @ 7th dam has 3×4 The Tetrarch. Should The Tetrarch (f.f.2-0) go placed upon equivalent haplotype arrangement, it is designated to #L4.

The Princequillo factor: it may be well-remembered to the breeding years of both Princequillo and Nasrullah as the Holy Cross – duly, Princequillo for stamina and Nasrullah for speed. Princequillo was head-lined by True Nicks (article) as The Time Machine, indeed the sires then listed Pulpit, A.P. Indy & Kris. S, paved the Wentrue pedigree.

  • The Time-Machine 1) & 2) sheds important potent factors at depth: tempering Nasrullah and Princequillo strains “quiet until you get to the 5th generation with just a few duplications, but then it explodes with concentrated bloodlines in the 6th and 7th. Clive Harper says: “Stamina is basically built up from many multiples of the same horse or close relatives, between the 6th and 10th generation.” (ref. Princequillo – Mr Fixit – stamina & soundness here.)

Its been a few years since reviewing New Zealand sire pedigree El Roca.

His 3yo filly Krementz (by El Roca) from dam Cashenti ex-Conatus (Danehill), pedigree.

Firstly, let’s never forget the history built to the Australian and New Zealand breeding scene. So many exceptional influences like Pipe of Peace tail-male Hurry On, Wilkes & Star Kingdom, & earlier the Australasian sire of sires, *Musket.

Musket put the fledging New Zealand thoroughbred industry on the map in one stroke. Beforehand Musket was a virtual unknown. He had been bought in England in the late 1870’s, shipped to New Zealand for a career as a sire of carriage horses. In his first season he served only three stud book mares. His son Martini-Henry won the Victoria Derby and the Melbourne in his first two starts. Australians began scrambling for progeny of Musket. Musket sired a stream of top class horses, that climaxed less than a month before his death in 1885 by the birth of his champion son Carbine, a magnificent bay who galloped the Australian turf like a giant.         (November Gold – Max Lambert)

Old Genetic power bring forth… Krementz is a 1400m winner. 4 starts – 2 metro win, 1 – 2nd place. Note her conformation below.

credit: NZ Bloodstock. https://www.nzb.co.nz/sales/22rtr/46

– Krementz (above) as a two year old. Ready to Run purchase price $70k.

Haplotype L4 for stamina, speed and weight. It is evident a L4 Haplotype geno complements an extraordinary phenotype ability. With few family exceptions, L4 belongs to the Family 2 but one special ancestress dam calls it big, Martha Lynn, f.f. 2-h and holds to the distaff family of Carbine.

Carbine shot through the field like a thunderbolt.    1890 Melbourne Cup report.

Further to this L 4 Haplotype (female family 2-r) has *Miss Kate’s daughter Catherine Wheel, a grand-daughter of *Musket. More so, f.f.2-r famed to Phar Lap (5×5 Musket) & a distaff, 3xAustralian Horse of the Year Sunline.

(female family 2r distaff @ Blazing Saddles (AUS) a son of **Todman, the 3rd dam sire Krementz

  *Miss Kate (f.f.2-r) was dam of Perkin Warbeck (NZ) and he appears to the sire El Roca @ 9th dam.

3×3 Danehill @ 9 strains Carbine, noting Danzig’s 3rd dam ***Felstead is a tail-male Carbine/Musket. Noting...Danehill’s distaff hails from Mother Goose (Chicle) by Spearmint by Carbine (+ noted to Northern Dancer & Halo).

  -***Felstead notes to El Roca via Millionaire’s 4th dam & as is, Bletchingly 3rd dam by Felstead.

Felstead was the 1928 Derby winner and his daughter Rockfel was a 1938 Oaks winner. Her breeding fame & son Rockefella (Hyperion) produced Rafha (4×4 Rockefella) dam of Invincible Spirit (IRE). Rockefella is 2nd dam grand-sire to Sunline (commented above)

Krementz 5th dam by Star Kingdom’s son Shifnal (dam Oceana) at 6 strains Star Kingdom, additionally > 6sx5D **Todman from same dam Oceana.

  Oceana is f.f. 1-u and takes co-affinity to Selene, f.f. 6-e aka 15x Hyperion and 3x Big Game @ L3a1b Haplotype. (n.b. bloodlines.net indicates studbook errors)

  The Star Kingdom influence through sons, grand-sons and daughter descendants was Australasian breed-shaper. Star Kingdom goes enormous and it is Todman, Biscay son Bletchingly, Marscay, Zephyr Bay marks superior classic quality. (Check blog Ripcord (AUS) – run me like a racehorse & dam-side G1 winner – RIFF ROCKET by American Pharoah

8dx7d Pipe of Peace (the male-line, tail-male Hurry On). Pipe of Peace hails f.f. 22-d, 3rd dam Infra Red, has distaff-line same Mill Reef, the sire of Millionaire and sire of El Roca 2nd dam Mill Rani. The family 22-d has L3a1a Hapotype (n.b. Mill Rani’s daughter Millrich is dam of Redzel – 2017/2018 Everest winner and dam of sire Danerich).

  • 8x7x7 Relic (via, Bletchingly, Soviet Star, Rory’s Jester, the male line, US bred strains to Man O’War – essential prototype. It is the superior, classic blue-print explosion ancestral and nucleus male lines , as is upon Rubiton.

Krementz’s 8th dam by Pherozshah – the half-brother to Mahmoud f.f. 9-c, empress Mumtaz Mahal ). The Aga Khan bred sire Pherozshah came to New Zealand in 1944.

  • Clock the Mahmoud daughters thru Northern Dancer, Danehill, His Majesty, 2nd dam sire Roan Rocket with Pherozshah + Venture (Relic) b/m sire of Soviet Star
  • Mumtaz Mahal pouring through e.g. Nasrullah, Abernant, Prince Taj, Lucky Bag, Tudor Minstrel, Fair Trial, Royal Charger, Badruddin where her far-reaching genetics are pure Powerhouse. And cleverly, diverse ‘Mutiple’ across i.e. subtle female affinities factoring
  • the family number 9-c has L1a Haplotype

And so, as the Musket/Carbine/Spearmint era went by – their breeding further exploded that goes beyond anything else: the female contributor and influential Plucky Liege where sired by Spearmint cannot ever go genetically annulled. She is the dam of Sir Gallahad, full brother Bull Dog, half-brothers Admiral Drake and Bois Roussel.  

@ Krementz pedigree, Plucky Liege influences are seen to Buckpasser, Admirals Voyage, Nijinsky, Royal Academy, Only for Life/Millionaire/El Roca, Habitat, Blazing Saddles (AUS)

(n.b. Plucky Leige is extremely influential to numerous US Derby winners like White Abarrio – to catch, White Abarrio

Indeed further classic factors course to Krementz with Wilkes (7d x 6d). Wilkes was a three times champion Australian sire and notably four times champion sire of 2 yr olds. Also of Krementz pedigree, Soviet Star (USA) – his bloodlines may be better remembered by the name of New Zealand bred Starcraft – Australian 3yo champion and sire of Star Witness.

waste not genetics – they can come hot

Carbine might never have left Australia but for a bank crash which forced Wallace, a wealthy grazier and racehorse owner and breeder, to sell up. Purchased by the Duke of Portland, Carbine was shipped to England to the Duke’s Welbeck Abbey Stud, where he stood alongside St Simon. Several thousand people flocked to the dockside in Melbourne to say farewell when Carbine was loaded on to the steamer for England.  (November Gold – Max Lambert)

🐴 Musket daughter Ante Diem was sent to Argentina in 1884.

The ANTE DIEM family has accounted for at least 19 Argentine Classic winners, among them 1931 Triple Crown winner MINERAL, as well as many other winners of top races in both Argentina and Brazil. Ante Diem include genetic giant sire, Penny Post (Embrujo).

Often a pedigree will come from no where. Yet it is of the constructive depths.

🐴 3 yr old filly, Daddysruby by Frac Daddy (Scat Daddy) – Youtheprizeandi (USA) ex- You and I (USA). Daddysruby is the G1 winner La Brea Stakes.

At Daddysruby 4th dam, has Ruffian’s dam Shenanigans (the dam of Icecapade).

(Watch Ruffian documentary alongside great article 👇takes accounts from various people involved. It’s a must read. (Link https://pastthewire.com/all-1s-ruffian-the-realthe -story/)

And genetics as such, went left to her dam Shenanigans, a sensational speed factor via her first foaling, the grey son Icecapade. His son Wild Again ex-Bushel N Peck, a Khaled mare and a female line of the Cinna family sired Wild Event, a sire exported to Brazil establishing a breeding potency upon sons Fluke, Tonemai, Poker Face and Daniel Boone a sire serving in Argentina siring G1 colt Vespaciano (1600m)

  Icecapade is the grand-sire of speed rated, Phone Trick (Clever Trick, pictured below)

@ Icecapade 4th dam sire of Daddysruby a will to lead, some fierce speed memory dominates as it was for Ruffian and yes, Icecapade broodmare sire of Hall of Fame inductee, Lady’s Secret (Secretariat). Icecapade/Shenanigans may well transmit the will to win!

Daddysruby has the enduring 9x Princequillo, 12x Nasrullah cross to provide the diverse reinforcement arrangement... where its (collective critical mass) goes poorly limited these days, the two named chefs are usually duplicated alone, Secretariat in-bred, line-bred.

By basic evaluation, chefs-de-race sires go well-ingrained as has their inestimable quality. However 6×6 Damascus, favours great genetics and as explained: https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/177542/damascus-is-most-underrated-horse-of-all-time. Damascus sire Sword Play noting the all time presence heads Fair Play+ 3rd dam *Speed Boat by Man O War.

As sire, what really can explain Seattle Slew? Find his genetics fire; the breeding upgrading. SS potency should never be undervalued.

Like Ruffian on You Tube, Seattle Slew knew his ‘will’ was to survive and Win. SS phenotype gets back upon genotype.

Daddysruby 9th dam by War Relic, full brother to *Speed Boat.

Not to be overlooked Plucky Leige (by Spearmint). It is her full brother sons, the elite sires 8x Bull Dog (Teddy) & 6x Sir Gallahad flowing to her veins.

It is the marvels of ol’gold: these genetics from a useful raced dam, the useful G2 sire to produce G1 winner Daddysruby.

Ace High filly, Molly Bloom – New Zealand 1000 Guineas 3yo winner (1600m)

As yearling Molly Bloom (Ace High) was purchased for $150k

This filly was beautifully
relaxed through-out and she took our eye as a great
walking athletic type.” Lance O’Sullivan

PQ pedigree Ace High (High Chaparral) from Dancilla by Iffraaj. f.f. 1-h, ancestress Sunshine, Haplotype N2a)

Molly Blooms 4th dam @Certain Habit is the dam of New Zealand’s Iron Horse galloper, Rough Habit (Roughcast USA by NoHolme a Star Kingdom male line.)

Rough Habit

Her 2nd dam Nordic Dancer a 2x G3 winner at 2000 – 2400m.

Ace High (1400m – 2500m winner) hails from the great stallion producing family in modern thoroughbred history – **Danehill, Northern Dancer, Machiavellian and Halo. His grand-dam by *Sunday Silence (above photo and info credit Rich Hill Stud).

Danehill, Northern Dancer, Machiavellian, Halo to notable broodmare 11x Natalma @ Haplotype L2b1/L2b1a.

A small bay filly, Natalma had been purchased as a yearling because of her bloodlines. Natalma was forced to retire at three years due to soreness in her left knee. Taylor sent Natalma to Nearctic and she duly foaled a small bay colt. Offered for sale to some of E.P. Taylors friend, the colt did not attract anyone’s attention.

  • The f.f.3e Cinna – the ancestry of *Sunday Silence, Ace Impact’s grand-dam
  • Sunday Silence thru b/msire Understanding (USA) carries Stymie f.f. 1-h (5x4x5 Domino, 3×3 Man o’ War, (#haplotype N2a, same Molly Bloom)
  • *Stymie also carries through Nijinsky son Caerleon (US) sire of Generous, the 2nd dam’s b/m sire.
  • f.f. 1-h (i.e. Molly Bloom, *Stymie) ancestress Sunshine by Thormanby from Alice Hawthorn) this is ancestral line to Oaks, Guiness, Derby winners examples are Dalacia (Ger) dam of Animal Kingdom, Triple Crown winner Justify.
  • Sunshine holds ancestry again to Buen Ojo (ARG) f.f. 1-h via, Molly’s 4th dam sire Ashabit.
  • Molly Bloom has influence by the f.f.5h (#Haplotype Db1) aka 5×5 ‘Special’ dam of Nureyev, grand-dam of Sadlers Wells. Special, by Forli to have a Alice Hawthorn factor thru Advocate.

L2b1/L2b1a is also represented through f.f. 1-W, the remarkable Marchetta / Lavendula family belonging to Alycidon, Ambiorix, 6x Turn-To

***Herod’s Byerley Turk branch appears to have a remarkable affinity for mares carrying Haplotype L2b1a.

RIPCORD – winner, Placid Ark stakes 1200m @ Ascot (Western Australia) 3yo chestnut gelding by Written By – Single in London ex-Not a Single Doubt f.f. 5-d, Haplotype B1a. (Pedigree)

Electrifying!💥

Just by looking at him, you know he is something special (Luke Fernie)

Ripcord purchased @2021 Gold Coast National Weanling Sale: A$40,000.

The Supreme sire Star Kingdom 7S x 8S x 9s x 9s x 8S x 8D x 8d x 6D – Biscay, Noholme, Fairy Dream, Kaoru Star & Dark Jewel.

‘weedy small foal with the worst legs when born’ – Star Kingdom’s breeder

*Star Kingdom – Champion Australian Sire 5 times.
Champion Australian Sire of juveniles six times, Champion Broodmare sire three times.

Star Kingdom was a small, muscular chestnut stallion. He stood only 15.1 hand high but had pronounced forearms, a long back and typified the fast fibre muscle type. Because of his diminutive state, commercial breeders did not flock to him during his initial years. For a little horse he carried big weights. (reference Designing Speed in the Racehorse, Ken McLean)

The research points what factors genotype to carry Weight at classic Speed?

Numerous excellent references on Star Kingdom reviews classic pedigree inheritance from St Angela (dam of St Simon and Angelica, the dam of Orme). The classic winners Pilgrimage and Canterbury Pilgrim and speed from the dominant mare Sanda, dam of Sainfoin and Sierra f.f.2-g @ Haplotype L4.

The challenge for breeders has been determining how to best identify merit in race horses.

https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/10.1146/annurev-animal-020420-035235

By Haplotype, specific chunks @ Haplotype share ‘relationship’. Reviewing Haplotype by pedigree considers a truer, stronger framework and the key-marker, or characteristics to pass on.

Star Kingdom -influenced by 5s x 6d x 6D Gallinule (f.f. 19-c) + Gallinule’s sire Isonomy f.f. 19. Though the stud-book Tables of Pedigree has 19 family denoted to ancestress Tuberose, the family 19 is nevertheless categorized by 4 individual Haplotype Groups – mainly Haplotype H, I2a2, L2b1a & a Haplotype L4 (1 Australasian)).

Designated f.f.19-c as Star Kingdom’s broodmare grand-sire dam Electra appears to be, Merry Dancer Haplotype L2b1a (inconclusive)

A remarkable distinction factor must matter and favourite character is Papyrus, the son of Tracy, a Sainfoin male line. His daughter Cosquilla is the dam of Princequillo. Daughter Honey Buzzard dam of Honeyway & Barbara Burrini – grand-dam of Ribot.

  • Star Kingdom’s 2nd dam Thoughtless by sire Papyrus from Miss Matty (Marcovil male line). She, the Female family 16-f, **Simonath. (** @Simonath – the Irish Eclipse Harkaway (unaccounted to) where Harkaway appears 4×4, ex- Harkaway son & daughter Queen Bee. It is considered Harkaway a dynamic influence to St Simon via Harkaway son, King Tom

Further Papyrus influence > Ribot, Princequillo. >>@ Ripcord > Last Tycoon, Brocco, Tobougg (P), Danehill . Tobougg (R)

Overall, Star Kingdom takes 9 strains through St Simon. The Harkaway mare, The Golden Horn via Orpheus dam Electra. Harkaway mare Queen Bee, son King Tom > Papyrus. Harkaway – family 2 @ L4 – the mare, Chestnut Thornton – 3x D’Arcy’s Yellow Turk (thoroughbred foundation sire) from a Burton Barb mare

Ripcord – his dam’s Haplotype B1a (f.f.5-d) and with affinity to Star Kingdom influences with female family 5-i & 5-j @ Haplotype B1a thru 4×4 Sunstar, Minoru & White Eagle B1a. The Haplotype B1a also affiliates as key marker with sire The Palmer to his daughter Pilgrimage (f.f.1-g) – the dam family of Star Kingdom.

Ripcord’s undeniable genetic influence to Wilkes/Court Martial/Fair Trial echoes the finest of Australian breeding. It is pointless to perfect one Haplotype as alone responsible for each are to metabolism – a fact of genetics fascinating and endless.

Fair Trial family #9c considered highest performance ‘speed’ character alongside Royal Charger, Nasrullah, Mahoud , Kalamoun the genetic cousins assigned Haplotype L1a. Interesting to the Gallinule #19-c factor influence to Fair Trials distaff.

Court Martial (Fair Trial) is immense and it is the 3x Sanda character dam of Sainfoin, grand-dam Sundridge (f.f.2-g Haplotype L4) alongside 23x Pocahontas f.f. 3-n, Haplotype L2b1a that cements a classic pedigree.

  • Court Martial’s son Wilkes (f.f. 13-c) has Haplotype I2a1 and where it gets very interesting to this particular Haplotype character alongside 2x Rory’s Jester are by collective Haplotype impact. ie all #13 branches in particular noting Rory J. > Crown Jester #13e & Roan Rocket #13c Haplotype I2a1.

Relic sire of another wonder mare Coogee dam of Bletchingly with Relic by War Relic a /GB line as is Court Martial’s b/m sire Hurry On.

  • Coogee (Relic from ***Last Judgement ex-Fair Trial
  • Relic – Relic’s grand-son Roan Rocket b/m sire of Rory Jester

Bletchingly – Australian Champion Sire 1979-80, 1980-81, 1981-82
Australian Champion Juvenile Sire 1987-88
Sire of Kingston Town/Emancipation/Canny Lad/Canny Lass/Best Western/Mr Tiz & more

*** Last Judgement (f.f.7a) daughter Coogee astonishingly, carries a Harkaway daughter strain. (same @ S.K. above) The Golden Horn thru Spion Kop (Spearmint/Carbine) his 2nd dam Concussion (f.f.19-c) by Reverberation from dam by Harkaway.

It will suggest the Ripcord pedigree /Haplotype(s ) has an intricacy beyond all.

The quintet of super sires (super bulls) is testimony to the proven genetic law of prepotency or Mendelian dominance.

Ripcord sire Written By – http://widden.com/stallions/written-by/, Note = Written By carries a 2x Haplotye L4 through 4th dam sire Godswalk ex-Lusciana.

Harkaway: Harkaway’s influence via his very, very few bred daughters and among those was Austrey, bred into eminent pedigree line Lonhro. Chautauqua – a Harkaway male line My Lud (GB), 2nd broodmare sire of Kilbroney, exported to New Zealand and a remarkable sire.

quotes of Equinox jockey, Christophe Lemaire 👇👇👇

✔️Top horse, champion horse adapt to any kind of race and to any surface or ground

✔️Coming into the straight I had an adrenalin shot

✔️I realized I rode perfection.

✔️It’s something I can’t really explain….

The Pedigree Expert stuff….

Even though an ancestor may be well back in a pedigree pattern, if it is a dominant ancestor, it will maintain its effectiveness for many generations, especially if close relatives reinforce similar biochemistry. (Ken Mc Lean)

(*Equinox / Lyphard 5S x 5s x 4D) Lyphard f.f.17-b @Haplotype L3a1a + Sunday Silence dam’s lineage has 2 strains @f.f.17-b Hillary &Free France @ Haplotype L3a1a

Footnotes:

Byerley Turk‘s St Simon (Galopin by Delight) male line – 4×3 **The Flying Dutchman (discussion & research Link, here).

It is interesting and further importantly noted that Byerley Turk, Herod’s branch, has affinity with Haplotype mares L2b1a @ female family 3 (there is however one exception).

Remarkably the affinity by Haplotype L2b1/L2b1a is also that of contemporary breed-shaper Northern Dancer, Danehill, Halo, Machiavellian.

By example, the Haplotype’ ‘pattern’ affinity is demonstrated neatly through pedigree: Hurry On, a f.f.2-d by Marcovil by f.f. 3-k) + 8x Pocahontas f.f.3n. 4s x4s Hermit by Newminster f.f. 8, its lineage a Mare by Byerley Turk.

The female family 8 branches (again an ‘8’ exception exists) assigns Haplotype L3a1b. Science indicates L3a1b, a racing phenotype performance critical. L3a1b has 6-a, 6-e, 1-u.

Equinox’s dam Chateau Blanche, f.f. 16-b, assigned Haplotype L3a1b.

(n.b. whilst Haplotype(s) are distinguishing key markers it is not to take a rigid view; they serve workings & feasibility)

Ken McLean ‘classic’ Axiom.

          Genetic Influence from superior ancestors becomes diluted after one or two out crossed generations, yet when the same superior ancestors are reinforced in a single pedigree it allows for the recapture of the original source of classic speed. You must first duplicate the source, then go away from it, and then make sure it is reinforced again.

you don’t need tractor tyres, when you have the jet engine

City of Troy (USA) 2yr colt by Justify from Together Forever (IRE) ex- Galileo. Family distaff 9-e, haplotype G2. 3 starts – 3 wins.

City of Troy – G1 Dewhurst Stakes winner. A beautiful action, he’s impressive. Trainer, Aiden O’Brien states: ‘he doesn’t get tired’.

An international and classic pedigree, @Haplotype exerts L3a1b influence.

The power-house L3a1b of 8 branch ‘families finds the ancestral mare by the Byerley Turk.

– Pedigree /Haplotype f.f. 8c: Hennessey/Storm Cat (Justify’s male line) + dams, Sassafras (FR) and Red God, (sire of Blushing Groom) with 6thdam by Count Fleet male line through Sunreigh (FR). (Sassafras beat Nijinsky in the Prix de l’arc Triumph)

Further L3a1b ‘compaction’ may continue through sub-branches f.f. 8-f, @ sire Justify 3x Raise a Native, 2x Nijinsky, as inclusive other 8 sub-branches ie Red God/Menow 8-g (Blushing Groom)

City of Troy dam’s distaff @Haplotype G2 (f.f. 9-e) a match through Galileo’s breeding (f.f. 9-h). Its ancestral has mare by Curwen Spot – Curwen Spot by Selaby Turk.

Curwen Spot ‘blood’ is highly, highly influential where ‘fire’ hits water crossing through lineages today. It is a study of its own complexity however ‘bullseye’ to the Galileo racehorse pheno.

City of Troy dam Together Forever – 4×4 Special , dam of Nureyev (USA) and half sister Fairy Bridge are female family 5-h attributed Haplotype D1b.

As afore mentioned, Count Fleet’s grandsire Sunreigh (FR) assigned f.f.8c. His dam however assigned female-family 6a. To accounts where historical pedigree for branch family 6a, has two assigned haplotypes, L2a2, L3a1b. Due to its US dam lineage…it may suggest L2a2? If so, the lineage gathers upon ancestral mare Rosy Clack – a producer of Kentucky Derby & Oak winners leading to Count Fleet, 1943 American Triple Crown champion.

Count Fleet appears as 4th dam sire to Hennessey, 2nd dam sire 5x Mr Prospector, + the 6th dam’s sire.

Another important female family 6-a member, – same US female lineage has Bolero (Eight Thirty). Bolero the 3rd dam sire of Storm Cat. (More important info @ Bolero here..)

Withal & belated apology to readers, the missed attribution to Hawaii (SAF), as we may of inadvertently overlooked Hawaii’s impact on Justify’s pedigree and siring ability. It is worth noting that the inclusion of Hawaii (SAF) has provided further evidence of Justify’s excellent offspring – Japan bred colt Yuttiham, 3x Hawaii.

(**refer to the Hawaii blog article here for more information, as it provides a comprehensive analysis of the subject matter.) Hawaii’s Race action – HERE.

🐴💯City of Troy – a supreme colt with pedigree whose exhilarating stride electrifies.

Please note our analysis ‘remarks’ how haplotype may aggregate pedigree Tables, hence genotype: a certain haplotype may maximise ‘probability’ where other haplotypes though underlying, are equally as relevant.

Romance Sea (ARG) 3 year filly – 2 starts 2 wins – G1 winner @ 2000m 2023 Gran Premio Seleccion.

Romance Sea by (Seahenge (USA) Scat Daddy from Romance Night (ARG) by Orpen (USA)- family 16-d. It is the sire’s (Seahenge ) first G1 winner. Her dam Romance Night, a multiple G3 winner 1400m – 1600m

Sire Seahenge – 2yo Champagne Stakes winner (G2) Stood in France 2019, he largely merits to his sire Scat Daddy, the world class potential to both dirt and turf.

A relocation for Seahenge @ Haras Vacacion, Argentina, found the greater opportunities for the stallion.

Seahenge is Sire of 3yo colt G3 winner Beauty Sea as seen below. Beauty Sea pedigree

It appears the G1 performer Romance Sea shall transcend her sire. The question what ignites superior breeding?

Her broodmare sire Orpen by Lure. Orpen sired numerous champions in numerous countries – amongst Australian bred, G1 South African sprinter War Artist, Irish bred Italian performer Orpello to the 2yo G1 French-bred mare Vorda alongside his produce as legacy to Argentina’s breeding circle. Likely however, it is Orpen’s 4×3 Natalma which breeds overall critical mass to Northern Dancer.

In such case and should it ever be as easy there are other distinguishing individuals, their influence as we note.

The dams distaff – family 16-g is (possibly) assigned by haplotype I2a or I2a1. By examination and it might be noted haplotype @ 16 family, are not all correct to, ancestral Miss Agnes lineage.

It shall become significant however unveiling pedigree by familial haplotypes bares the similarity to compel its influence. Predominately in this study, the haplotype ‘match’ goes with majority to family 4. (n.b. again a few, not all same, ‘4’)

The pedigree by Haplotype emerges a compatible influence upon I2a1 as refer: Seahenge (f.f. 4g), Stormbird male line (f.f.4j) – French Deputy (USA), Polynesian 4-i,+ Ramsinga (f.f.4-h) thereof Nearco (f.f.4-r) thru Northern Dancer.

Once again the superior racehorse dominance f.f. 9c as assigned haplotype L1a – the Mahmoud factor thru Northern Dancer, Nasrullah et al. It becomes more interesting where other or more striking individuals of this ‘nucleus’ family ie Prince Taj (FR) implodes a pedigree. Hence Mahmoud sire of Almahmoud distaff @ broodmare sire Orpen.

Orpen also may take haplotype influence thru French 3yo champion Herbager (f.f. 16-c). By pedigree it is a distaff with/thru Spion Kop/Spearmint/CARBINE

Highlight @ female family 2-h (assigned haplotype L4 ). To Romance Sea @ 4th dam sire El Escorial (ARG) by El Curaca (f.f. 2h) adding another influence through 7×7 Carbine (f.f. 2-h L4. Rather El Curaca has greater dosage with the remarkable (ancestral) mare Martha Lynn/Martha’s daughters… .

No doubt, alleles ‘dominant’ are genetics which unveil truest of performers.

It is indeed captivating to observe their intricate yet potent correlation.

2023 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe winner 3 year old colt – Ace Impact (Ire)

Ace Impact is by Cracksman from Absolutely Me (FR) ex- Annabaa Blue (GB). Female Family 12-g. (pedigree). His dam, Absolutely Me, was stakes placed in Germany.

A track record win (2.02.63) @ G1 Prix du Jockey Club that well-showed his superb versatility – the competitive will with a breathtaking turn of foot.

There is no question that Ace Impact represents the morphological type that can captivate breeders best imagination. The colt emanates the class and superiority. As both inherently interconnected, the Ace Impact athletic performance encompasses both phenotype and genotype qualities.

Below, Ace Impact as a yearling. He sold for 75k euros. 👇👇👇

The geno lies in thoroughly exploring key female families. With use of haplotype tables upon breeding tables, a basic principle, homozygosity appears. It is further finding past influential sire(s) infused ‘deep’ into genetic selection. The significance of both the sire and dam in the breeding process cannot be underestimated.

A fine young sire Cracksman (Frankel) (stallion video), Cracksman (credentials) siring fillies Weracruz (GER) 2200m winner in Germany, Aloa (GB) , 2yo G2 winner in Italy, Dance in the Grass (2yo winner), Cracksmania (winner @ 2100m) and to colts, Czech winner (2200m) 3yo colt Charpentier (FR), with subject horse Ace Impact.

Cracksman carries a C:C profile. Cracksman is from the female family 9-C better genetically known as Mumtaz Mahal alongside half-sister Lady Juror their dam Lady Josephine.

Identifying the 9C family by Ace Impact dam’s pedigree reveals Fair Trial, Nasrullah, Tudor Minstrel. Add – Mahmoud’s influence through Northern Dancer & Royal Charger through Hail to Reason + Abernant (champion sprinter) via Derring-Do.

Fair Trial 7x
Nasrullah10x
Tudor Minstrel5x
Mahmoud8x
Royal Charger4x

By Haplotype tables, the family 9-C is attributed to L1a, (n.b. proviso pedigree record lineages are correct! Clearly #family9C is distinctive from majority of other 9 families – those sharing to a G2 haplotype.

We now explore the female family 9-h as its influence to Ace Impact is definitive.

Her name is Allegretta (GB) – designated a reine-de-course mare and dam of Urban Sea. Allegretta’s pedigree has family 9-h – the influence of 2x Alchimist, Agio, adding to her 9-h distaff. The haplotype assigned G2.

Ace Impact has 2x Allegretta 5sx4d.

Yet there comes another f.f.9-h or G2. A past sire that are genetics exceptional to crack a superior pedigree.

Honeyway (GB) was a brilliant sprinter yet could take further distance to 10 furlongs, beating top-class middle distance performers. He sired Great Nephew a champion miler in France and was twice the champion sire in England. Honeyway is grand-sire of Grundy and the ill-fated Shergar. Honeyway’s full sister Winning Ways was a dam of 7 winners and the 3rd dam to Argentina genetic monster Cipyao (ARG).

All n’ all Honeyway genetics come profound and exceptionally influential as the inducted Australasian Hall of Fame 48 starts for 34 wins, the great Sunline (NZ) proved.

Honeyway is heavily influenced by, & with significant haplotype placing…

  • Pocahontas 27x (dam of King Tom) L2b1a
  • St Simon 5x – Lady Angela dam I2a1
  • King Tom 8x – L2b1a
  • Harkaway 9x – Chestnut Thornton L4
  • Voltigeur 12x – Martha Lynn L4
  • Lord Clifden – 6x – Martha Lynn L4
  • Sainfoin 4×5 – L4

To Ace Impact pedigree – Honeyway is the 3rd dam sire of Diesis , a champion 2yo (also, full brother Kris) – 2nd dam sire of Ace Impact dam, Absolutely Me.

Finally note well, the female family 1-W. It is attributed by Haplotype to L2b1 or L2b1a. Having long noting its presence as ‘up-grader’ phenomena there is some consideration why or how, it marks breeding.

– Ace Impact @ f.f. 1-W (aka Marchetta family by Marco Godolphin Arabian) as identified to 2x Bustino the 3rd dam sire and 2nd dam sire of Pivotal. Alciydon (GB), his full brother Acropolis are f.f.1-W. Where it gets very interesting is an unseen familial character integrated to Honeyway through broodmare sire Papyrus by Marcovil/Marco. Papyrus is the sire of Miss Matty and unbelievably also (we’ve just found) ancestral influenced by lineage, a Harkaway daughter.

Marchetta and Miss Matty hence are both Marcovil by Marco lines, daughters.

Papyrus praise!! (side note: not to widely recognized, but oh my how he delivered to his daughter Barabara Burrini, dam of Tesio’s Romanella dam of Ribot. Here , Papyrus is found to Reliance b/m sire Diesis: 7x Princequillo as b/m sire : influences Annabaa Blue, Riverman, Sir Gaylord, Cozzene, et al.

Our reviewing winners by Cracksman , the progeny akin (ex. Honeyway) to those as identified above. It is Honeyway thru Diesis for mine has absolute key genetic influence to this extraordinary 3yo colt as named Ace Impact (IRE).

Ace Impact is a genetic masterpiece.

Meal Penalty (USA) is the father of Keaton, Peru’s champion sprinter. He is also the sire of Liberal, who has performed well at distances ranging from 1600m to 2400m. Liberal is a stallion.

Workings for Haplotype L4 places Glinka 2nd dam by Devil his Due (USA) from the f.f. 2h (L4) aka Martha Lynn. It is through his grand-dam that ‘two’ L4 families merge @Luke McLuke (USA)

Devil his Due (USA) was known as a tough performer over 9-10 f. A very versatile sire of 2yo’s, better at 3yo’s he fulfilled his progeny with stake-winners aplenty. His best son an international G1 performer Roses in May went to sire-duty in Japan. notably a good versatile sire.

A dynamic inherent structure to @L4 genetics through sire’s b/m sire Unbridleds Song, its unequivocal line taps along Fappiano (USA) via 5×5 Bull Dog (FR) ex Plucky Leige a Spearmint (Carbine) dam. Additionally, Sting, sire of Questionnaire – Y line to Dr. Fager (USA) b/m sire Fappiano as Sting transmits two doses @ f.f. 2h Martha Lynn. 👇👇👇💥

Sire, Meal Penalty is influenced 5×5 Crimson Satan;. In breeding circles Crimson Satan is well regarded as the ‘soundness improver’ retiring sound after 58 starts for 18 wins.

Meal Penalty distaff is well influenced by Sting/Questionnaire down to Minnesota Mac (USA) (sire of Great Above, sire of Holy Bull). (n.b. TBL had prior noted these powerful genetic ‘X’ influences (Minnesota Mac & Unbridled/Fappiano) upon dam Mongolian Changa, dam of deceased, disqualified Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit.

Although technology has brought huge benefits, it is still crucial to recognize the significance of pedigrees in appreciating lineage of horses and the qualities they possess.

The appreciation to individuals with exceptional qualities of speed, stamina, and weight carrying ability alongside winning numerous and unforgettable G1 campaigns.

Where did it all stem from?

Our last post ventured to greatest racing horses known to New Zealand & Australasia. The Thoroughbred & The Ultimate L4 gave a crucial haplotype to their family pedigrees.

While conducting further extensive research on the forgotten legend Harkaway, the Irish Eclipse, I stumbled upon information through a mare named Cupid – she is a direct 6th descendant of Harkaway, The Golden Horn, Harkaway’s daughter.

Through The Golden Horn , her descendant daughters went far n’ wide into Europe – Hungary, Austria, France and also Argentina to Brazil. The Golden Horn dam of sire Wild Oats. There all reveals as is Rabelais pedigree – Harkaway 4×5 + Pocahontas 4×5. Rabelais sire of Havresac – (@Harkaway 5S x 6s x 8D x 6D) Italian leading sire 11x, and Tesio’s favourite sire to his descendant tail-male line of Ribot.

The mare Condesa (ARG) f.f. 1-o . She was good as it gets @ 4×4 distaff Harkaway + Lord Clifden (f.f.2-h distaff Martha Lynn) + sire’s distaff from Marpessa (f-f 3m) dam of Pocahontas, dam of King Tom, son of Harkaway. (n.b. this f.f.1-o is not same distaff to Man O’ War daughter Speed Boat and full brother War Relic)

Condesa – as dam her progeny Argentina sire Primero, the winner of the 1898 Gran Premio Carlos Pellegrini.

Condesa is the 4th dam of Congreve (ARG) the genetic-monster of invincibility.

Even so to myself – I have long maintained that alongside pedigree to inbreeding, line breeding, are strains n’ traits that are strikingly Dominant beneath.

Now, we’ll better appreciate why.

Korean researchers to the racing Thoroughbred established there are 4 alleles more noted superior from 53 alleles assessed – 5 allelles been at the lowest-order. Group specific allelles indicate that the microsatellite markers could distinguish horses that show ‘high’ or ‘low’ in a race.

Certainly, it’s necessary to recruit scientific analysis and though entirely two different spectrums of insight; it is sizing influential individual(s) @pedigree to muse upon.

It is crucial to analyse well, place valuable insight and make informed decisions.

Haplotype L4 is exceptional. More on TBL Page Pedigree & Haplotype

In the realm of turf legends, the wondrous Carbine won the 1890 Melbourne Cup carrying 66 kgs (the record still holds) 43 starts for 33 wins.

As a young colt Carbine was described as abnormally lazy and not flustered by the breaking in process. He seemed to lack ambition and had no class in the first two starts of his career.

Later representing Antipodean heritage, encore the iconic Phar Lap — 51 starts 37 wins. In the 1931 Melbourne Cup he carried a staggering 68 kgs (10stone 10lbs).

*To win the 1931 Melbourne Cup, Phar Lap had to carry his massive frame plus another 11.5% of his body weight. Can you imagine waking up one day and having an extra 11.5% more weight (credit ref. by Zeb Armstong)

Phar Lap had a marvellous temperament – a better temperament than any horse I have ever seen.

W. F. Elliot

If the colt by Night Raid, from Entreaty, has four sound legs and a head, and looks right, buy him for me up to 200 guineas.

Trainer, Harry Telford instructs his brother to buy the Night Raid colt. He was purchased for 160 guineas.
(credit unknown)

– New Zealand Hall of Fame mare Desert Gold. 36 wins from 54 starts, won consecutive 19 races winning from 1000m to 2800m. Defeating colts, she carried around 65kgs (144lbs).

Desert Gold

During the 1940’s it was all about Kindergarten – the powerhouse freak raced 35 times for 25 wins. He won the 1942 Auckland Cup by 5 lengths at a top weight of 64.5 kgs (10stone 2lbs). His female family 2-r is from the ancestress Miss Kate.

It was 1942 Easter Handicap, the champion Kindergarten carried 10 stone, 3lbs and put up a phenomenal performance – Galloping Greats/J. Costello

And come again, the Miss Kate distaff (as is Phar Lap) through the unforgettable Sunline. She won 32 times from 48 starts – this charismatic mare that captivated with an unrivalled ‘will’ to dominate at distances from 1100m to 2040m.

Contemplating the enigma – it becomes evident that an unrivalled ‘root’ lies within mitochondrial DNA haplotype, one with an unparalleled characteristic through to a weight-carrying performance.

It is by uncovering the family 2 ancestral Chestnut Thornton, daughter Lusty Thornton her descendants et al, has a special significance.

What individual was Chestnut Thornton?

The family#2 mare is key, as is the Haplotype L4.

To appreciate family 2 phenotype is the forgotten hero, the Irish Eclipse Harkaway.

Harkaway had an awkward breeding legacy and it was left to his son King Tom from dam Pocahontas (f.f.3-n). In turn, King Tom the broodmare sire as Equinox of Pedigrees Byerley Turk (#BT) line, St Simon. Noting, the female family 1-P Pinprick is 5x5x5 King Tom (aka Hornbeam, Court Martial, Black Caviar, Australian sire All Too Hard.)

It appears Harkaway is to quietly confined to the history corridor – yet his enormous racing attributes are pheno/geno/haplotype which warrants fullest attention.

Historic Hoofs – Harkaway, a famous horse🐴

Harkaway by Economist from a Nabocklish dam (dam’s given name Fanny Dawson, was the daughter of Harkaway’s owner Thomas Ferguson ). The Nabocklish mare was the winner of many Queen’s Plates in Ireland.

Harkaway though stated as chestnut was earlier accounted by pale yellow sorrel. As an individual he was powerful yet coarse and angular-looking. It was when in action that Harkaway’s astounding powers were seen and with an apparent ease to himself as he galloped. His vast stride and great speed was truly amazing. His head light, bony and long, with ears fine and well set on. His neck was short, light, well-formed and muscular. He stood rather high on the leg – 16 hands and 2 inches. A horse of great power largely to his hindquarters which were very lengthy, particularly muscular and of great breadth; he galloped very wide behind, bringing his stifles up with such a force at top speed where they would touch the legs of his jockey.

Harkaway won 11 races in Ireland, 1838 The Goodwood from start to finish, then the fastest on record. He won 25 times from 38 starts.

All of Harkaway’s successes made the American breeders ever keen to cast over their eager eyes upon Harkaway. Tattersalls where commissioned to send him over to the New World, but only at a price. Harkaway’s owner Mr Ferguson responded ” The price of Harkaway is six thousand guineas and I hunt him twice and thrice times a week”

Vast numbers went to see him believing Harkaway was one of the “wonders of the world”

Late to the start of a race and by its starting rules, the Harkaway rival was given a quarter of a mile start. Ferguson called to the jockey ” Go after them; you can give him to the Hare Park and win”

Harkaway never won the St Leger only because he was never entered. He was too superior.

His extraordinary performances would have the public in an uproar.

Harkaway had Godolphin (41 strains) and Crofts Partner (30 strains) & Flying Childers (23 strains)

His produce and his kind were better received by only an astute eye. Some odd accounts placing the dam’s pedigree with ‘flaws’ and deemed not ideal physique. Peculiar, round, wide-sweeping motion was Harkaway – temper of a lamb, the propelling power of a steam-engine, & the eye of a gazelle.

Not worth a bowl of soup – Mr Watts

Yet another’s account…{I should like to be an owner to a few of them with that ‘flaw’ – that this animal could run at any distance, carry any weight}.

His progeny easily defeated all Ireland bred horses of their year; they were said moderate, yet a perfect wonder.

It was stated Harkaway’s were some of the speediest, stoutest, and longest runners as well as best weight-carriers been very narrow between the fore-arms and fore-legs, still they had a well-expanded chest.

This King of the Curragh, an Irish Eclipse overpowered every opponent that had come his way; distancing horses of first class rated in both England and Ireland. Yet Harkness died by unforgiving view possibly due to the colourful personality of his owner Tom Ferguson.

He earned his livelihood as a drudge being held but little of account.

Bailey

It was a limited breeding career for Harkaway however his genetic prowess proudly ‘lives’ and today, only belongs to the Elite.

And to the remarkable Kiwi #2-b distaff – a 23 horse field in the 1983 Melbourne Cup and Kiwi came from last to first to win by 1 1/4. (replay)

Carbine, haplotype L4 review our TBL article Martha Lynn #2h,

– haplotype L4 are (as presented above) Desert Gold (NZ) distaff #2-g. (review #2-g Challenger)

🐎✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨🐎

By some heavenly order… Carbine once raced against descendants of Harkaway daughters. 1888 Australian Derby winner & Australian St Leger Melos as his Australian dam was 4th generation daughter by Harkaway. 1889 Victoria Derby, VATC Caulfield Stakes & 1890 VRC St.Leger, AJC St.Leger, VRC Australian Cup winner was Dreadnought by Chester from dam Lady Chester the daughter Austrey by Harkaway. (same above @ Chautauqua)

Genetic studies delve into the scientific and genetic aspects of typology. The focus shall lie in exploring the transcendent nature of genetics: tracing historical development and its impact on the present-day bred population.

Science holds increasing insight yet breeding intricacies shall continue to challenge many.

In the world of genetics, it is believed that certain dominant trait(s) lie hidden within individuals. It waits to be expressed. This presents an ambitious exercise but with an extraordinary opportunity to bring forth those hidden characteristics and unlock their full potential.

Flightline (USA) the 2022 Longines Horse of the Year exudes an extraordinary level of brilliance. With a magnificent stride and captivating physique, this remarkable equine athlete simply radiates his charismatic presence.

Flightline whose sire Tapit over a Indian Charlie mare states barely the specific genetic framework behind Flightline.

Flightline’s genetics’ are fully characterized by careful consideration and selection, resulting in a truly exceptional athlete. Let’s explore…

Crossing mitochondrial DNA haplotypes into pedigree tables elevates the exploration of a genetic cross to a new level. The interpretation to *data available provides a valuable guidance.

Flightline’s sire Tapit from female family 3-O the ‘Black Cherry’ family – the same distaff to Caro, sire line of Indian Charlie. The f.f. 3-O has mtDNA haplotype L2b1a as does the branches 3-i,3-j, 3-m,3-n, seen to A.P. Indy distaff, Tom Fool (A.P. Indy influence) Nashua (2xMr Prospector & Roberto) & Hasty Road + Dynaformer from 3rd dam by Hasty Road

The f.f. 3-O has mtDNA haplotype L2b1a

Black Cherry, grand-dam of chefs Blandford a horse that made a significant classic impact in the world of thoroughbred racing. Whirlaway, who was sired by the renowned stallion Blenheim (Blandford) is the 7th dam sire to the Flightline pedigree.

The mitochondrial DNA haplotype L2bla may potentially exhibit a pattern of inheritance that follows a dominant-recessive relationship.

Further combinational, with mitochondrial DNA haplotype I2a1 assigned to family 13 branches (n.b. there are NZ exceptions 13-a). Those to Flightline are Mr Prospector (4x5x5) + Seattle Slew + Le Fabuleux (FR) of the Jean Gow family

Flightline’s 5th dam Blitey (Riva Ridge) – a reines-de-course mare as family 20b – ancestress Locust mare whose descendant and 20-b branch founder Escalade assigns the mitochondrial DNA haplotype I2a2.

According to the analysis based on mitochondrial matching, it appears that the Eclipse haplotype I2a2 is the likely compatible sequence.

The association and with mutation I2a1 and I2a2 haplotype structure are also to the family 4 branch (n.b. 4 branch variables are not all same) – family 4d, 4r, 4g 4-n/mit. DNA I2a1.

With referencing Flightline’s dam pedigree viz.I2a1 to encompass – In Excess by Indian Charlie, Hail to Reason & His Majesty + distaff via Dynaformer, Storm Bird distaff.

When it comes to delving racing genetics and understanding what sets apart exceptional lineage from another, one can’t help and wonder what individuals are responsible. That is the question we aim to unravel.

The lineage of a stallion encompasses both triumphs and setbacks, however, it is vital not to underestimate the extraordinary individual.

The Historic Hooves

The yearling colt by Swynford out of Blanche. Through an injury, this colt could not be submitted at the July Sales at Newmarket, and was included in the December Sales of that year.

Many thought he would not stand the strenous preparation required by a racehorse, and he fell to the bid of 730 guineas made by Richard Dawson (seen below) who later trained for H.H. the Aga Khan. Named Blandford, he raced only a few times but managed to win the Princess of Wales Stakes at Newmarket, and other races worth 3,668 pounds. Though a good horse, his racing carrer did not presage a brillant stud career, but Dawson retired him to his Cloghran Stud near Dublin, and there he proved himself one of winning sires five times, and set up an all-time English record in 1934 of 75,707 pounds in stakes won by his stock. In addition, he sired four English Derby winners in a comparatively short stud career – Bahram, Blenheim, Windsor Lad and Trigo. It is one of the disappointments of our breeders that, through the sale of Bahram, Blenheim and Mahmoud (son of Blenheim) to the U.S.A., the early illness and demise of Windsor Lad and other misfortunes, we lost much of Blandford’s male line, our dominant classic staying blood….} The Horseman’s Year 1953

{Franco Varola excerpts – The breaking of classic unity, which occurred in the Swynford line (Blandford’s sire) during WW II, and from which never quite recovered, was certainly the most dramatic happening in the Thoroughbred breed during this century, and it is symbolic of the crisis in Western Society which was precipitated by the corresponding political events. In the space of a few years, an impressive chain of events took place which it would have been impossible even for the keenest soothsayer to predict: (as follows)

  1. the forced sale by the late Aga Khan of Blenheim, Bahram and Mahmoud to America
  2. the failure of Trigo at stud
  3. the inconsistency of the produce of Sansovino, Swynford’s only Derby winning son
  4. the inability of Windsor Lad to carry on stud duty (*note – Panaslipper (Ire)
  5. the forced removal of Brantome from France during World War II
  6. the substantial inability of Blenheim-line sires (other than Mahmoud) to re-impose classic prepotency on the other side of the Atlantic
  7. the eventual emerigence of Donatello II as a sire of stout and professional horses, rather than brilliant and classic as might have been hoped, possibly a late vindication of the opinion of Blenheim’s trainer who regarded this horse as more stout than classic.
  8. the inability of Gualicho, Bahram’s most impressive grandson in South America (by the Druid) to breed on, a border case between shy breeding and sterility.
  9. the sterility of Assault (by Bold Venture by St Germans, Swynford male line), added to sterility of Twenty Grand by St Germans.

Franco Varola states: the belief that 🐴Blandford was the supreme classic sire🐴 of the Thoroughbred {…..} even after the exploits at stud of Nearco, Nasrullah, Hyperion and Ribot.}

Blandford created his own classic talent almost entirely by himself…

What influential factor which contributed extraordinary? The mit.DNA haplotype reveals D1b

D1b haplotype represents currently only around 2% of the breed, and was less than that until relatively recently, it’s remarkable that four male lines of Blandford have been extended through horses from that branch.  Full Article Below.

A D1b Haplotype relationship

Note – D1b members are families to 5g and 5h.. This appears to be a deep-rooted error, which appears to stem from the 5g/5h foundation mare . The 5g and 5h branches descend from two different daughters of Miss West. (Credit Reference here, as below). There is plus a D1b to family 38 which appears extinguished – however ‘log’ it significance. D1b has jeju, icelandic, shetland, norwegian fjord ancestral breeds to profile a metabolic efficiency to colder climate. The influence of family5h or D1b can be viewed to the New Zealand bred mare La Crique by Vadamos – 4×5 Nureyev, Sadlers Wells, Konijsstuhl.

Our TBL studies to superior strains don’t stop and since this post is almost a year overdue, Waikato Stud (N.Z.) sire Super Seth is a stallion that won’t be forgotten!

An impressive athletic Type – the geno gilt-edge akin essential classic lines that make for his immeasurable depth.

Super Seth (Aus) – morphological strength, elasticity, fluidity, suppleness, all appealing a class of his very own, this stallion smacks the eye (imo).

Super Seth’s sire Dundeel may well be considered as Australasia’s rising breed-shaper. His sensational G1 winning 2yo Militarize from a Dubawi mare brings into sharp focus a power-house of genetics; the siring ability to produce an outright 2yo speed pedigree which notably comes free of Danehill/Danzig.

Class finish, Militarize wins G1 2023 Sire Produce Stakes

Great things are to come, Super Seth offers great siring potential. The broodmare sire Redoute’s Choice – a champion sire, sire of sires, 2x Australian broodmare sire where his racing supremacy was of champion miler.

Super Seth’s dam Salutations produced G2 & G3 performer Wild Planet by Animal Kingdom. For mine, the jewel in the crown to her pedigree is Rory’s Jester, a champion 2yo and an outstanding sire.

Sired by Northern Dancer, Lyphard was an unwanted ugly yearling, and selling numerous times over. His ‘strain’ influence continues to this day overwhelmingly remarkable.

The Wertheimers had an excellent eye for horses and believed this young colt had hidden quality. The Stallion Dynasty of Lyphard.

2023 Hong Kong 2x G3 winner, 4yo ch Gelding, Beauty Eternal (AUS) by Starspangedbanner (AUS) – Ithaqueen (NZ) ex-Savabeel (pedigree)

Beauty Eternal @ HKJC racing

The genuine Beauty Eternal has a fierce genotype: quality arrives from Australasian breeding via international influences.

Starspangledbanner (Aus) progeny stamped with essential constitution and fierce determination. Effortless – the strong consistent winning pace, is of the sire’s typification to Beauty Eternal.

5-7 cycles (generations or further)…. is factoring hybrid vitality. Sources thru another as close genetically, – the art of long-breeding thru, its refinement. Matching Haplotype is to focus pedigree; a multi-cohesion via individual mix-determinable strains.

Distinguish… an Australasian family the #family 13C, > San Taras/Jean Gow determines an affinity with that of Mr Prospector son Mr Woodman. Wilkes (FR)sire of @Vain, Norseman (@ Zabeel) and Le Fabuleux (FR) @ Bering (GB) come from dams of San Taras family. It is a family strain (likely overlooked) which has come into its own ‘worth’ & duly to Frizette breeding descendants ie Mr Prospector, Seattle Slew & others.

#family 13C haplotype (as cross strain) works well commonly to #family8 (branches). As seen to Beauty Eternal, its notable thru dam family #8c – reines-de-course mare Terlingua & Green Forest (USA) back to dam, Cherokee Rose.

#Northern Dancer – 6S x 6D x 8D x 6D x 5d . For whatever reason, its not too common to see a Northern Dancer daughter positioned @ *direct distaff pedigree. Its position is powerful.

One is to reinforce the same DNA of an ancestor in the new product, which increases the chances that the genes on the DNA will be expressed (reference credit here)

As plenty is commented to his global siring prowess – the ‘modern’ breed-shaper, and frequency to his breeding goes regularly topical.

To TBL subject – the Northern Dancer measure to account for, by his breeding, takes proficiency @ Mahmoud (FR) (Almahmoud daughter). It escalates phenotype, the hip & tremendous muscle power. Thence, 8 Mahmoud strains fall to *direct distaff + Bering/Artic Tern + Mr Trouble (Sir Ivor) + The Axe (Green Forest) + Danehill.

(nb should readers wish to further explore Northern Dancer’s genetic potency with in-breeding research link, view here.)

The 🐴Mahmoud factor, a #family9C dam, has closest genetic affinity to Nasrullah dam Mumtaz Begum to their grand-dam Mumtaz Mahal, inclusive affinities: Royal Charger, Fair Trial (n.b. therefore influential @ Wilkes/Vain to subject pedigree) et al.

Lyphard is well considered the stronger stamina line of Northern Dancer.

Whilst commentators of sports horse breeding take plentiful account for the versatile Byerley Turk blood, (Article here) its unfathomable the racehorse tail male hangs by a delicate thread.

A breeding project to conserve this foundational male line is directed by 👉👉👉 http://suziprichard-jones.com/the-byerley-turk-godolphin-conservation-project/. The campaign with determination and effort is winning back. View progeny by Pearl Secret standing at Norton Grove UK.

The big question to researchers…. what can science disclose that Byerley Turk is a genetic necessity, the foundational sire necessary to continue?

– they can show Byerley Turk has a specific allele detected. The allelic variation of the tetranucleotide microsatelite marks the TB-oB1 clade. (nb. the Godolphin is Tb-oB3b).

The diagram clade 👉(P.36) in PDF file demonstrates. (open Here) , the scale of the Byerley Turk – TB-oB1 at what loss to racing phenotype just cannot be more clear.

Or find Sabine Felkel’s work. P.6 here.

TB-oB1 is a significant haplotype to the racing population as was down through ages, to future gene pools!

Credit ref. – Full article here….(on a basis that they were not able to get historical samples from horses from that sire line (#BT & #GB) the researchers discounted the possibility that the “C” allele may have come from either the Byerley Turk or the Godolphin Arabian (also known as the Godolphin Barb).

Pennyweka’s Sire – Satono Aladdin (JPN) by Deep Impact at Rich Hill stud (New Zealand).

Pennyweka’s dam, Threepence is unraced and by Pentire (champion 3yo in GB & Ireland) where her 2nd dam Our Sophie has half brother Titch by Lord Ballina, a G1 winner of the 3200m Auckland Cup.

Japanese breeding excels with horses presenting dominant traits selective, a phenotypical fulfilling morphological capability.

Whether inbred, line-bred the phenotypical TYPE is paramount selecting across genetic attributes.

It is through our group posts citing champion pedigrees with an emphasis towards Byerley Turk’s male lineage and female descendants; added to that of Godolphin Barb blood (aka Hurry on & Man O War) high-valued lines alongside Northern Dancer that arises dynamic cross.

It would appear the enormous impact to #GB (ie Byerley Turk and Godolphin Barb) cannot go miscalculated, underestimated.

Yet for whatever reason those important influences are not adequately exposed.

Obvious classic sires shall dominate families back, yet ‘speed profiles’ overtakes a Northern Dancer/Danehill to better a faster modern racehorse?

Be it noted, there are inclusive 7 genes which must surely combine Class sire collective role in genetics. (reference A core set of genes, G6PC2, HDAC9, KTN1, MYLK2, NTM, SLC16A1 and SYNDIG1, with central roles in muscle, metabolism, and neurobiology, are key drivers of the racing phenotype. 

The finest morphological of the complete racehorse is a likened to a quantum motion efficiency.

Consistency shows Type rules the Type.

Thru ’22 season, it is Kyprios’s win after win – grand tally of six successive Group 1’s – distances @ 4000m.

There goes one phenotype of one thousand words. 🐴🏆👇

A king of Stayers he’s a familiar Galileo/Danehill cross. The maternal bottom-line warrants a finer investigation.

https://www.pedigreequery.com/kyprios

With 18 crosses to Teddy, the pedigree is exclusive at that!

👇TBL Pedigree work.👇

The enormous detail to chefs sire Teddy, is a Bend Or inherent @ haplotype as Bend Or is Clemence, family 2-h. A haplotype showing L4a. this is Martha Lynn daughter descendant lineage. (reference here)

By TBL estimation L4a has an apex-type to racing genetics should you ever be checking out Carbine, Phar Lap, Secretariat – the super-champions, Big Reds, a Chestnut Thornton family 2 origin.

Galileo/Danehill has 5×5 Buckpasser, to 4×4 Teddy. Notice another Clemence strain through Spearmint (Carbine).

(n.b. whilst other major strains feature, our discussion points will express such specifics)

  • Buckpasser fortifies to note his dam by War Admiral, a male line (#GB) – and take up *Blue Larkspur (strain to Alice Hawthorn (fam. 4-k) via North Star.
    • Furthering, Alice Hawthorn has Advocate from her dam line, see 👉 Forli/Sadlers Wells with Bold Reason, his dam Lalun ref. 2nd dam by Blue Larkspur from 4th dam by Carbine, the grand-dam, Clemence.
    • Galileo/Danehill carries 4 inherent strains @ Alice Hawthorn.

Alice Hawthorn, an essential latent factor – massive as Clemence

@janebielskiTBL

Spec…dam’s distaff to Speak John/Prince John per sire side Blue Larkspur; the maternal positions Teddy.

– distaff @ 4th dam brings Spearmint (Carbine) and the Teddy son, Sir Gallahad, his dam Plucky Leige, rep. 10x).

– A genetic tidal ‘wave’ heads to Escutcheon by Sir Gallahad – 5×4 Bend Or (factoring Clemence).

To assent these ‘apex’ genes is complex.

It pre-determines a specific morphological type that is so very athletic.

🐴Pedigree Notes🐴

Let’s look at ancestor typology.

We shall address an unequalled conduit type, how this has spanned across to Tyler’s Tribe. (prototype as solution to any ‘pedigree’ design is not principle intended – the inherent is the point.

Science advances genetic-coding with haplotype(s) modelling diagnostic…kicking all around remains to a selective band.

The Tyler’s Tribe pedigree determines at best, potency are latent traits back. Focus on Secretariat’s dam Something Royal, & also dam of Sir Gaylord, identified as family 2S. These… Line-bred @ 6S x 8D x 7D x 8D x 8D

Its relevant the maternal figure, Alice Hawthorn by Muley Moloch by Muley comes sharply to view.

As a private stallion, in the study of Alexander Nowell Esq of Underley, Muley was considered to have larger bone, greater muscular power than any thoroughbred stallion in England. (Celebrated Racehorses of the Past Centuries Vol.1 Thomas Taunton)

Prolific as a local stallion, Muley was the invaluable horse at stud. Derby and Oak sire, he sired Little Wonder and full-brother The Little Known, Vespa & Margrave later sent to Virginia and to subject, Muley Moloch.

Muley male line traces to Eclipse, the female line via Diomed (Herod) & Matchem.

Alice Hawthorn. She was born in 1838, Alice Hawthorn won 51 out of 71 races, with 14 other cups, 18 Queen’s plates and in 1844, her most successful year, she won Ascot Gold Vase, the Goodwood Cup and the Doncaster Cup. For her gruelling schedule of racing, she was awarded ‘Queen of the Turf’ where her production years also gave Derby winners, namely son & sire Thormanby. Her daughter Sweet Hawthorn a prolific producer of Derby winners and the line in today’s breeding still produces the classic winner. ie Music Note (A.P.

Nashwa’s family distaff comes special and with good reason.

The Racing team wrote the Cracksman cross – Frankel x. Pivotal.

The Frankel – Princess Loulou pedigree comes more wonderful.

She was the superior racing mare and broodmare producer with supreme quality of those early times- its Alice Hawthorn that distinguishes Nashwa’s pedigree.

The Goodwood Cup was a hollow affair. Alice Hawthorn winning in a canter just as she liked by three lengths. (The Racing Season 1844)

The Cup was carried off in an Eclipse-like style by Alice Hawthorn. (George Tattersall)

Alice Hawthorn (by Muley Moloch) gave high-class tough performances and been Alice, she produced tough, son n’ heir Thormanby.

The Derby – At the distance Thormanby passed The Wizard without effort. From the moment Thormanby colours were seen in advance the issue of the race was not in doubt. He ran home an easy winner by a length and a half.

Guiding Star was all n’ all the superior maternal veins for Argentina, she Dam of Advocate (Fair Trial), Advocate served superbly indeed and was to become Argentine’s genetic Emperors.

The Advocate daughter Doria a superior champion in her own right, further produced three winners and of these came the two G1 winners, each by Aristophanes.

But it is another Advocate daughter named Trevisa that delivers Argentina’s finest breeding hour in Forli, also sired by Aristophanes.

– with a superior diversity attribute Alice Hawthorn is no lightweight.

Papyrus in Nashwa’s ped is familial, 8th generation direct & sire of Guiding Star.

Papyrus (I do think) goes overlooked. Be it either son/ daughters come genetic-carriers supreme (ie Honeyway, Ribot)

16 G1 winning sire Sea the Stars, and splendid sire to Stradivarius yet again extends superior ability to this exceptional filly.

Such exquisite bloodlines that have no mercy.

They are and were blood crucial class : Neil Gow (Perce-Neige, Jean Gow, Ramondie, ) + Brueleur/Ksar (Tourbillon, Wood Violet) Tourbillon (Djebel, Tourzima, Goya) & daughters significantly amassed in Emily’s veins.

Further outstanding Blandford lines… great foundation stallion of the 20th century, the magnificently conformed individual with an intensive masculine neck and crest with a dominant, commanding outline.

He & those bloodlines invigorate beyond – magnificence arrives and their influences remind. (Blandford is a lot with Frankel, & dam Kind)

  • *Blenheim – the enormous influence in Europe as the sire of Mahmoud and Mumtaz Begum, and in America, where he was champion sire.

As global breeding moved on to one particular Italian stallion named Nearco ‘he was to become the most important horse imported to England since the Godolphin Arabian’ (@ quote, Tony Morris)

In modern pools, it is of course sons & descendants rather than his daughters where Nearco is most regarded.

Nevertheless, Nearco’s daughter among ▶ Netherton Maid, a 2yo performer for 2 wins.

Netherton Maid – 6×6 Emily’s distaff the familial point @ distaff closest.

Emily’s dam Hidden Brief (of Aga Khan family stamina ) has mated with high-end reputable sires. Nevertheless their progeny by Dark Angel, Shamardal, Dansili, Invincible Star came less average.

What comes round, goes round… American Pharoah pows a ‘Grand Slam’ (2015 blog) explored strains bringing Olympia by Heliopolis (his dam Drift) by Hyperion.

For each sire, better success to breeding depends on right blood to his own.

The case in point, AP’s sire, Pioneer of the Nile has 4th dam by Heliopolis & multiple to Littleprincessemma.

The direction goes Above the Curve, 6th dam Itsabet (USA), by Heliopolis.

Heliopolis was a Leading US sire in 1950 and 1954.

By race-name to Italian classic violin The Strad, horse Stradivarius is the honest & true stayer. He races with consistent tempo and with determined intelligence.

One can only admire Stradivarius tenacity. His racing record slays many.

As watching York Cup re-play video it reminds breeding back on superior ‘Type’ culminates in kind.

What brings seed to fruit ?

I work with other i) researchers & ii) Thoroughbred Preservation Group (TPG)*.

The TPG group goes to preserve TB lines (extinct and further disappearing )where we researchers lay-out deeper patterns (type cut) thru individuals past.

We highlight pedigrees which slip by, yet remain highly significant to duplicate.

And naturally, Aficionados like to know more & more!

Invite @ TPG on Facebook to heritage & knowledge✔.

** 2018 blog introduces Stradivarius pedigree when first to dominate the UK racing scene.

Below are factors which explore detail and more detail.

Spot… Stradivarius distaff family 9 and his sire Sea the Stars family 9h, ex- branch 9e Maid of Masham.

  • Family 9 and of branches 9 interfuse full ‘sisters’ Mixbury 1 (f.f. 9a, 9f) and 2 (f.f. 9b, 9c) & Framptons Whiteneck (n.b. follow subject on @ TPG*). Ancestral Cardinal Puff mare (f.f. 4) 4×4 Sister Mixbury 1.

(additional note: full brother Chedsworth Monkey, sire of Mixbury mare 3rd dam of the great Eclipse son Meteor)

The principal parental > Curwen Bay Barb – Curwen Spot mare.

Its familial double-up is nucleus important as condensed to precise genotype.

Of significance & with other, of late, pedigree observations: the ‘fire’ alights when Nasrullah (& alike family Mumtaz Begum (9c) et al) finds more Mixbury blood @ example Stradavarius > Nasrullah/Ballywellbroke -7th dam, that can only catalyse.

Stradivarius family 9, has an outstanding broodmare line, producing multiple G1 Pawnesse champion and Horse of the Year England (S’s 3rd dam) – Ballynash (Nasrullah) – an outstanding producer of 6 winners.

Stradivarius’s dam Private Life @ 10 generations tilts St Simon 37 lines.

Rarer and rarer …. 10 lines Chouberski & as is St Simon depth & classic stamina bred – Byerley Turk lines. Lyphard’s dam Goofed 5×5 Chouberski & no wonder an important contributor to World’s best.

Byerley Turk (dying out & few available male) with amass/concentrated female BT lines are so overlooked by sheer zest for speed alone.

Byerley – the thoroughbred’s ticking time bomb (book to buy) sends the message clear.

Stradivarius is like no other and as the announcer called to his victory “please show your appreciation for Stradivarius”

You’ll never find one like that – there’s just no way

Check out the calendar-date for the Epsom Derby and to favourite contender Camelot’s 3yo colt Luxembourg (IRE).

Luxembourg’s latest run to finish 3rd from rear in the 2000 Guineas field shows lots of promise to make it a Derby win. (race video)

A lot like grand-sire (Montjeu IRE) the powerful drive & as does Luxembourg’s power stride has that similarity.

Great things to come, his hindquarters look spectacular!

Luxembourg’s maiden grade dam Attire; by the wonderful Danehill Dancer, her sire bloodlines, are ones we highly value anywhere.
Danehill Dancer – a Champion 2YO in Ireland, Champion sire in Great Britain and Ireland in 2009 and Champion broodmare sire in Great Britain and Ireland in 2016. DD’s dam by Sharpen Up (Leading Juvenile sire in England, leading Broodmare Sire, Sire of 83+ SW and 10 Champions) daughter, further b/lines Caro, Dancer’s Image and Olympia are influential traits.

Breeder/producer Attire has produced G2 winner Leo de Fury (Australia) and G3 placed filly Sense of Style (Zoffany). Luxembourg has a yearling full-brother, where he was Magnier sold – €1,200,000.

On pedigree matters – Luxembourg brings 3×4, double Danehill, – yet what compels, are greatest veins deep. Extraordinary inheritance familial: the critical mass building in/thru/up equals = superior genotype. They are Ksar daughters ie Wood Violet, Advertenaia (+ more etc).

The Bruleur line had a powerful post WWII revival in France with the outstanding Tourbillon, who threatened to become, at a time, the dominant influence in world breeding. Its offensive has since ebbed, it is still diffused at the highest level in most breeding areas.

Varola

Ksar sire of Tourbillon (Marcel Boussac foundation sire) to his sire Bruleur, grandsire Chouberski they’re majorly dynastic influential and of descendant to Byerly Turk (book)

The potency as seen to Lyphard’s dam Goofed (5×5 Chouberski) and Brazil bred, multiple G1 winner & classic sire Troyanos (Bruleur) 7S x 8D x 6D x 9D x 9D. 

(n.b. I since found template pedigree a perfect example, the Francois Dupre (& FR breeder of Tantieme) mare named Solitude. Notable wins Prix Morny (FR-G1), Poule d'Essai des Pouliches (FR-G1), Prix Saint Alary (FR-G1). Oddly (?) her sons, 1 sent to Japan and the other Lavinsky (IRE) came to New Zealand! )

Ksar spend 13 years at stud in France and then went to America, where he died three years after arrival, too soon to have an effect on American breeding.

Ksar‘s line compound & those daughters shall impact like a tsunami.

Ksar was one of the chief architects of the excellence of the French middle distance Classic thoroughbred that was to be revealed in such sensational fashion…

Peter Willett


Luxembourg’s grand-sire Montjeu – fierce

The ideal that the French breeder aimed at from the 1860’s to the 1950’s was the horse capable of excelling over 3000 metres in June of his three year old season. They where Ajax, Teddy, Bruleur, Alcantara II, La Farina, Sardanapale, Ksar, Brantome, Sicambre, Vieux Manoir, Djebel and Tantieme – all bred with that ideal in mind.

The sale of unwanted goods only to be another mans treasure – shapes the story to the Tapit grandson White Abarrio. White Abarrio’s emphatic win 2023 Longines Classic is a true champion’s performance.

The media had much earlier branded White Abarrio as ‘late-developer’ bred… however they could not see his classic pump was well beneath a superb bred pedigree.

ain’t he got true class…

White Abarrio – 4yo colt (Race Day – Catching Diamonds by Into Mischief). The family 9-e haplotype #G2 as collectively places > Prince Chevalier (FR) ff.9-f, Clever Trick f.f.9

By genetic profile has King of Calumet Bull Lea – f.f.9f by Haplotype #G2 (sired by Bull Dog). Bull Lea – 3×4 Musket – the NZ bred sons Carbine & Trenton + 5×5 Hermit

Double lines, the great Musket & Hermit – Bull Lea got ‘stock’ that built horse-racing

Bull Lea indexes: Bull Page>> Flaming Page/Nijinsky +Tricky Creek – Lea Lark >>Southern Halo/More than Ready – Two Lea >> Tim Tam/Gone West – Real Delight > grand b/m sire Grand Slam + Coaltown 6th dam sire to Catching Diamonds, Abarrio’s dam.

On core nucleus speed attributes: note contribution @ female inheritance upon Mumtaz Mahal/Lady Juror (the family 9c et al). as ‘speed’ through multiple & uncommon crosses where not alone Nasrullah’s.

*Uncommon sources to the *family 9c found equal to Abarrio’s grand b/m sire Grand Slam (Gone West – Bright Candles) also notably familial to Alydar (a multiple G1 sire) > 4dx4d Bull Lea the same ‘Plum’ family (Sweet Tooth, Reine de Course mare)

(– *family 9c as assigned L1a haplotype, that this haplotype placed same family 12 12-a, 12-c.

Sire Raceday is from a War Admiral daughter descendant, as is sire Tapit through the In Reality/War Relic line inheritance – 6x5x3 to the 12 strains of greatest Man O’ War (lineage, Godolphin Arabian). The robust pedigree has many angles in towards complete – such depth remains never bettered, never defeated.

Watch-list to Race Day progeny – Barber Road (2nd Arkansas Derby & K. Derby entrant) Mexican runner Headmaster from MOW dam line and Peru raced mare Consultora of US breeding.

White Abarrio – racing temperament, the brain and that’s the kick. A high-class bred racehorse built on superior genetic base.

A follow-up on red-hot Maurice .

Maurice (JPN) is just intense. His Type unfathomably stallion potent. Huge theriac genetics!

uppermost distaff, (family10) course back on ancestress Queen Mary: her dam Plenipotentiary mare by n’ large, it is multiple strains at finest thoroughbred & King progenitor himself, Herod.

Herod’s sireline was the dominant sireline in Europe and America as well, where Diomed’s line flourished through American Eclipse and Sir Archy, all the way down to the great American sire Lexington. Glencoe also hailed from the Herod male line through Woodpecker. The Herod sireline proved overwhelmingly dominant until the late Nineteenth Century, the end of which found the Lexington and Glencoe male lines dying out. This coincided with the rise of Eclipse’s male line, which now dominates almost completely.

Winner of the 2022 Australian Derby, the fantastic Australian colt Hitotsu (AUS) hits yet another G1 in commanding fashion.

When Japanese sire Maurice, first hit Australian soil to stand at Arrowfield, one could see plainly this sire was much more… to Japan’s elite bred.

Maurice’s 4th dam Mejiro Botsatsu (JPN) a champion 2yo filly has 4x4x5 Blandford. And, it is here (i.e. Blandford) why the Hitotsu colt refreshingly, reminds he, the far superior bred individual with his looks (phenotype) can kill.

Maurice’s broodmare sire, Irish-bred Carnegie, unraced at two, was French 3yo champion to distinguish his racing career with the 1994 Forte Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.

Carnegie sired a number of New Zealand winners Tuesday Joy (multiple G1 & 2 winner) Perlin, Vision and Power (2x G1 winner) and Amalfi (Victoria derby winner).

We notice 6×6 Norseman (Umidar / Blandford) from the dam’s Jean Gow family by Neil Gow by Marco by Barcaldine. (n.b. the link to Papyrus from Miss Matty by Marcovil by Marco by Barcaldine).

The Y conduit factor of Roberto sire-line descendance stepping out legacy culminating Maurice and to his son Hitotsu, likely will be the hottest stallion to come.

  • Love is Fickle (AUS) dam of Hitotsu – a New Zealand colonial family C4. And of course they are (C4), what went known as of numerous Musket-breds, there we find inbred dam Possibility to Musket’s son Nordenfeldt.
  • How fortunate and incredible Australian and New Zealand were to have back then… the world TB cornerstone to staying, stamina and breeding…

But it is to Hitotsu’s grand-dam She’s a Meanie (NZ) where reminiscing comes closer home…

Old-times forgotten and to a gentleman whom both vet, and breeder knew the score of pedigrees.

Dear old Kem Keene from Pahiatua (NZ) will be looking down from above with his grimaced face muttering something like…”I told you so “

It looks like he used a West Derby ( Levin I think) mare Heirship ( by Bally Royal) to visit Brauner and produce a filly Brauner Flight

who remembers Brauner ??…….anyway my friend was at Hastings the day she won her only race and I see D Walsh rode her in her last start

Kem sent Brauner Flight to Musical Phantasy to get Shekanwyn……trained at Woodville from memory …a feisty  on-pace Christmas 2yo who won two races before midfield in the Matamata Breeders….and not doing much after that

Kem sent Shekanwyn down the road to Ardsley ( Masterton) to Prince Salieri

Prince Salieri was a commercial failure but I must say I loved him, a mid size beautifully balanced chestnut who danced in the Parade when I saw him

This is where it gets interesting because the mating should have produced a horse which didn’t run past 1200 metres….but in hindsight She’s a Meanie finished her racing career in the top few horses in the Country……that Avondale Cup was the Premier 2200m race in the country and she was just pipped by Giovanna in the WFA 2000m at Te Rapa

Not sure when Kem sold the filly who became She’s A Meanie but wasn’t she trained at Avondale

anyway looks like she was sold to Australia directly after racing in NZ

She’s A Meanie produced that serious sprinter / stallion  Love Conquers All and when visiting Redoute’s produced the mare Love is Fickle

and in turn when Love is Fickle visited Maurice…..Hitotsu is the result

Ciaron Maher credits Hitotsu’s superiority to his heart and lung capacity

I suppose the breeding guru’s from the Hunter Valley will be lauding the Maurice / Redoute’s cross

somehow I think the answer lies somewhere in the genetic / physical make up of She’s A Meanie……a mare who was bred to run 1200 m but ended up amongst our premier stayers” END

Pedigree Matters: –

Look to Princequillo 6x5x5 into She’s A Meanie. Further, the Mumtaz Begum. Mahal et al, multi-strains representative aka f.f. 9c

Isn’t it great to see Princequillo resurrected, since he, his stout genetics smothered into obscurity because genetic stamina today perhaps come viewed as slower development status (?)

heaven’s …. what goes finer, better and better into Princequillo profile > Papyrus / Tracery /Rock Sand and his dam Miss Matty by Marcovil!

Star Kingdom ( his grand-dam by Papyrus) his son Planet Kingdom hails from the Entreaty family. Note, her daughter Raphis is full-sister to Phar Lap. Therefore, collate those ‘store-house’ Musket genetics.

Empyreal Selene, the elite producer & dam of Hyperion, further secreting hers through Ballymoss, Pharamound, Hunter’s Moon, All Moonshine, Sickle.

I have long argued, even if so to myself, those whom split the difference, DO & shall split the BIG difference superiorly…..and should never, ever be overlooked, or assumed/read far back, as other genetics minor percentage.

It is a plea to recognize those ‘deep’ and retain for honour of future and our classic-bred Thoroughbred.

NO 1, number one – Hitotsu (AUS) a true classic-bred Pur-Sange thoroughbred a ‘100yr’ horse bred.

Racing authority John (Salvator) Hervey commented: “It is the belief of the great majority of Turfmen – and a reasoned one – that Challedon… is one of the greatest Thoroughbreds ever seen in this country.

There was an old & odd tale Native Dancer went possibly sired by Challedon not Polynesian. (later…we’ll compare each affinity & their genetic attributes)

To the higher ground – let’s appreciate both Challenger & son Challedon by their influences upon superior racehorses noted further below.

Challenger by Swynford

Challenger (GB) from Sword Play, the maternal @ f.f.2.g distaff!

Important significance f.f.2g. belonging to influential ancestress SANDA. Her daughter Sierra by Springfield and her daughter Amphora by Amphion. I’m hoping pedigree students realize this earliest speed trait family to produce 1) Sundridge (Amphion – Sierra) being full brother to Amphora.

Plus, and more inclusive to the family – Sierra’s full brother Sainfoin, sire of Rock Sand, sire of Tracery. Sainfoin – broodmare sire of Phalaris.

The history and success http://One of England’s top 2-year-olds in 1929, *Challenger II was owned by Lord Dewar (of the Scottish whiskey fame), who intended to race the son of Swynford in the Epsom Derby. When Lord Dewar died in the spring of 1930, the colt was ordered withdrawn from all upcoming engagements due to English racing rules of the time. Brann and Castle reportedly paid $100,000, withthe intention of racing the colt in the U.S. and then retiring him to stud. 👉 *credit & full article*👈

A tale: Native Dancer sire – Polynesian or Challedon ?

This eyewitness account has Native Dancer’s dam Geisha, as difficult to load and transport. It was decided to walk her across and be served by Polynesian.

Working through each sire, lines and genetics, is to overview what presides upon ancestral elite.

These genetics are centred majorly to Brown Bess (1844) working thru Quiver/ La Fleche aka John O’ Gaunt (Swynford), Cinna (dam o Beau Pere), Uganda (dam of Umidar) and Maid Marian ) dam of Polymelus.

Musket, sire of Carbine is Quiver’s 3/4 brother. Carbine inbred 3×4 to Brown Bess + from Mersey/ Clemence/Martha Lynn f.f. 2h.

There’s a saying among prospectors: ‘Go out looking for one thing, and that’s all you’ll ever find.’

Mr Prospector resembled Nashua in phenotype and temperament. When you collect information about individuals in a stallion’s ancestry you can appreciate their contribution of strengths and weaknesses in terms of racing class, airflow, soundness and temperament. European buyers were unsure about Mr. P’s progeny because they had small feet, suitable for firm ground rather than soft turf. Mr P. inherited very short pasterns, perfect for dirt racing whereas Europeans were more accustomed to horse’s with longer pasterns. Ken McLean – Designing Speed in the Racehorse

*A TBL discussion

‘Mr P’.… will 3+ line-breeding or more provide desirable effect or is it factoring a considered liability?

An overall pedigree may be best answered by matter-of-balances throughout.

Mr P supreme ‘sire’ shaper however, the necessary complement – a supreme dominator landscape by degree(s) of contribution highly influencing rather than (alone) parental commonality.

The study: – Munnings 3yo filly, Emirates Oaks and Guineas winner – Shahama – https://www.pedigreequery.com/shahama2.

Firstly back on Mr Prospector’s sire, Native Dancer. The sire imprint determined Eight Belles, tragedy and also tragic event – Ruffian . Mindful, there are 7 strains Native Dancer to Shahama’s pedigree.

7 strains may just bring into question Shahama’s long term racing? However, I say all-good.

What comes into play….the supreme dominator Type balance, distinguishes – 7Dx7D Djebel via My Babu ex- Perfume f.f.1-W & Djeddah ex-distaff, Frizette f.f.13c, same to Mr Prospectors dam-line. ++ Djebel, son of Tourbillon ex-distaff, Frizette f.f.13c. e.g. multiple matri-gene sources. Tourbillon 9sx8x8, benefits.

Further as it has always been and always will – major, major matriarchal influences which double back powerful.

@ https://www.pedigreequery.com/lord+at+war sire female family Sweet Lavender f.f.1-W. In a note shell, this strain is a Marco/Barcaldine inheritance. Further note dam Luna de Miel – a Hurry On/Marcovil/Marco/Barcaldine inheritance.

(n.b. Lord at War, >> Pioneer of the Nile sire of American Pharaoh)

Speightstown son, Munnings, from La Comete by Holy Bull. https://www.pedigreequery.com/holy+bull

Holy Bull attracted attention long back mainly due tracing out inheritance f.f. 2h. back to Sting (USA) from family Sandiway, daughter of Clemence akin, Martha’s daughters….

>> Medina Spirit, has Holy Bull, distaff infused.

Furthermore a fellow researcher brought my attention upon Unbridled **4×5 Rough n’ Tumble by Questionnaire by Sting. Put them together (Holy Bull & Unbridled) ie matriarch’s critical mass, inheritance dominant.

Always perplexing, the enigmatic goes by uncertain pathways. The supreme ‘band’ at what is never obvious yet goes alongside line-breeding, alongside desired pre-eminent trait(s).

A good example – https://www.pedigreequery.com/havre+de+grace5 3×5 Mr P + Hail to Reason (Sweet Lavender f.f.1W + distaff My Babu f.f.1W + ( My Babu 7Dx7dx5d) = 4 strains Lavendula .

Now that Havre de Grace has produced a Justify colt will pedigree students approve the 6 strains Mr P and 14 Native Dancer???

Take note Scat Daddy from familial geno strain f.f. 1W, (not Lavendula however genetically IS Marchetta family from Marco)

*Though the mating is okay, I like to cite that soft patterns follow.

The Example: Liam’s Map (USA) has a grand-dam by Great Above ( sire of Holy Bull) i.e. Rough n’ Tumble/Intentionally/matriach Aspisdistra, dam line of Liam’s Map + Dr Fager are inherent strains perfect.

2) Damascus – 4×5 Fair Play (Godolphin Arabian) + My Babu (Djebel / Pefume Sweet Lavender/Marchetta f.f.1W)

3) Further – **Unbridled + Caro (whom I associate to carry Hurry On i.e. Marco/Barcaldine noting Godolphin Arabian + under-noted influence Le Fabuleux (FR) a Neil Gow/Barcaldine daughter Godolphin Arabian. Neil Gow is also represented thu Olympia/Heliopolis being the dam’s, grand-dam sire. (n.b. Neil Gow rarefied genetic-gold).

This hypo example Liam’s Map/Havre de Grace goes to effect balance upon Mr P. 4x, Native D. 9x thru additionally exercising supreme dominator influences.

Lesson – never over-cook!

Proportion and prepotency are the two primary forces at work in the science of genetic inheritance.

Native Dancer distaff –

****referencing Ken McLean (Bloodstock expert) came from a branch that was undistinguished until the mating producing a mare names La Grisette (Roi Herode from the grand-dam by Amphion). The significant speed factor upon Amphion, sire of Sundridge from Sierra (copy, Sierra’s full brother Sainfoin) & thus maternal strength pitched. Roi Herode – the successful sire whose champion son The Tetrarch sired many stakes winners including Tetratema and English champion 2YO filly Mumtaz Mahal, grand-dam Nasrullah.

The Study – genetics linked

*She is not bred for racehorse yet she is entirely blood thoroughbred. Her sire, a chestnut thoroughbred by the name of Sportivo – a 5×6 Native Dancer & 5×5 Nasrullah. Her dam (Lambada) a sire-line Tourbillon (Byerley Turk ) from a Relic **(Godolphin Arabian) dam distaff and descendant producing multiple & superior polo performing individuals. Lambada’s greatest – Dolfina Cuartetara.

Bred, owned, and played by world no.1 polo player Adolf Cambioso she has won multiple awards and her genetics duly cloned to equal performing individuals.

Dolfina Cuarteara came to mind when studying Native Dancer’s action, the way of will, his winning determination; to her own dynamic, determined verve familiarity.

She really is something else…
