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 #GA (#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.

🐴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

Muley 2nd dam Young Giantess (YG) are the 17 strains to Old Morrocan Mare daughter of thy, Old Bald Peg. YG crossed Crofts Partner 5S x 5s x 4d x 5d namely Partner mare
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. Indy), West Wind (Machiavellian), Balanchine (Storm Bird) and Nashwa (subject of our last blog).
– 5S x 6s x 5D Alice Hawthorn to Roi Herode, sire of The Tetrarch. Sired Cinq a Sept, her daughter Assignation, Secretariat’s 4th dam. The Tetrarach sire of Mumtaz Mahal, & Tetrarach son Tetratema sire of Myrobella, the dam of Big Game (Bahram).

Amongst Alice Hawthorn influences are Intent, In Reality (5×6) *Balladier, Spy Song, Bolero, The Axe (11 strains viz. Tapit), Roberto, Forli, Dorine (ARG), Mr Prospector, Numbered Account, Buckpasser, Damascus through breeding to Blue Larkspur’s dam, Bubbling Time, a North Star daughter. North Star’s dam Angelic, familial to Alice Hawthorn. (n.b. Blue Warbler, Blossome Time, Betty Beall are North Star daughters)
Interestingly Damascus accounts 15 strains to Alice Hawthorn (with others) majorly by Bona Vista (Bend Or) – a leading stallion in Hungary in his time. The classic 4×4 Damascus example, has twice Hong Kong Horse of the Year, Golden Sixty a 1600 – 2000m champion winner of 24 starts for 21 wins.

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)

Alice Hawthorn determinedly the latent factor supernatural vital ‘force’, vital potency.
What is the thoroughbred without Alice Hawthorn..?
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)
Blandford lines in Emily Upjohn – La Furka, *Blenheim, Dalmary, Umidar, Windsor Lad, Wild Violet, Blue Skies and Blandford’s Bahram(Big Game, Babylon) the beautifully balanced horse of the highest quality, almost impossible to fault, with a perfect temperament and superb action.
*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.
Netherton Maid produced Pirate King (went to Australia, returning to UK & Chatsworth (sent to New Zealand) & Pampered King sent to US and France
Netherton Maid by Nearco, the distaff Windsor Lad (Blandford) & Solario (Gainsborough from Sun Worship by Sundridge.
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.
Until… Sea the Stars.
What makes thissire correct for her lines?
Lorenzaccio (family 5h) hence Dalmary by Blandford.
Above the Curve (USA) by American Pharoah from Fabulous, ex-Galileo – 3yo filly and winner of Prix Saint-Alary.
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.
He sired 53 SW’s, including champions High Gun, Grecian Queen, Parlo, Berlo, Aunt Jinny. Broodmare sire of 71 SW’s. Heliopolis also sired many great Show Jumping horses, such as Grey Eagle, the sire of A Little Bit.
The critical mass genotype (back)…hoes n’ grows, as placed up maternal going thru the lines. Heliopolis 8S x 8S x 8S x 9S x 9S x 7d, sire Hyperion from the greatest dam Selene.

– learneddegrees are to find deepest genotype behind, which draws phenotype desired ahead.
Heliopolis line-bred for their dam’s are the mit. DNA flavours inherent. One is not without the other.
Focusing, Heliopolis dam Drift (FR) – 3×4 St Simon + 4×5 Hermit yet catalyst draws broodmare sire Neil Gow by Marco.
Sir Charles Leicester (Bloodstock Breeding) notes Neil Gow died before making a comfortable impact on the Stud Books of the world. His stallion son Re-echo was a great success in Argentina. Ramondie His daughter descendants producing sires of incredible merit e.g. Felicitation. Ramondie produced

** 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.
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’smaiden 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.
Luxembourg– Ksar – 9d x 9D x 8d x 9d, Tourbillon – 9S x 9S x 8D x 9d x 9D
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.
Like some sale of unwanted goods only to be another mans treasure – shapes the story to Tapit grandson, a Florida Derby winner and Kentucky Derby contender White Abbario.
Sold over @ $7500k, then $40k might suggest horse feather sums for an event ahead that could not be foreshadowed.
Was it (?) that sire Raceday (G2 winner, sold off to S. Korea 2020 but for an excisable * clause ) considered kindly, better value else where?
Then the colt presented – White Abbario. The media earlier slammed ‘late-developer’ bred… however could not see Abbario’s Derby pump went well beneath.
We’ll take a look…
ain’t he got true class…
By genetic profile is The King of Calumet Bull Lea (sired by Bull Dog) built through. Bull Lea is 3×4 Musket – the NZ bred sons Carbine & Trenton + 5×5 Hermit
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, Abbario’s dam.
On core nucleus speed attributes: note contribution @ female inheritance upon Mumtaz Mahal/Lady Juror (the family 9c et al). Seek for components, ‘speed’, through multiple & uncommon sources where not Nasrullah alone.
*Uncommon sources to the family 9c found equal to Abbario’s grand b/msire Grand Slam (Gone West – Bright Candles) also notably familial to Alydar (a multiple G1 sire) > 4dx4d Bull Lea the same ‘Plum’ dam family (Sweet Tooth, Reine de Course mare)
(– family 9c as assigned haplotype, that this haplotype placed same family 12. The context here serves ‘directive’ upon ancestral line. Refer here . Further deep and great significance (complexity) which cannot be adequately explained here.)
Last but certainly never least… what cannot be overlooked for 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 him, greatest Man O’ War (lineage, Godolphin Arabian). The robust pedigree has many angles in towards complete – such archetypal depth remains never bettered, never defeated.
Watch-list 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 Abbario has racing temperament, the brain and that’s the kick. A high-class bred racehorse built on superior genetic base.
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.
***Studying Maurice’s Japan & Australian progeny (those to date) by adjacent Q.M. genetics’ the hidden detail emerges – what strains strike future progeny. Identifying specific strains result to resurrect or resuscitate necessary blood.
Contemplate.… Type/Potency at dam, how it leads… formulate potency, re-focus Type, target strains.
Why?
Genetic intricacies, a zig-zag trail tricky.
Genetic lineage(s) are like lacework but the roads to Herod compatibility gains Type super immense.
some female lines breed very true when they get the blood they want
3yo australian gelding – Mazu (Maurice – Chatelaine ex-Flying Spur), to 3rd dam by Showdown has the QM trail…ie Bayardo/Hampton. Further the family distaff (6b) tables to Hyale (inbred 2×4 Herod), her descendant Grande Mademoiselle 46 strains = Herod.
Knit back through Maurice – ie his dam distaff + Riverman
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.
Career earnings $4182,100 and sold to Japan for undisclosed sum – Mystic Journey by Needs Further (photo) came as “a lovely, little cheap filly” sold for A$11,000.
Impossible to wade through every product, every catalogue page and commonly selection luck, skilful judgment prerogative, the awareness.
The study of genetics places meaningful when implicitly comprehended why stallions ‘fire’ the way they do. The study is to pierce the ‘layers’.
Alongside All, they’ll transpire some physical movement, ‘look’ appeal, which is not readily quantifiable yet alertness, elasticity, magic, what Tesio termed nervous electricity, the verve. This insight is always observational.
Where on-line is now commercial platform, the walk, and talk are moments of intrigue…
Can one really tell why? We shall look deep in this pedigree below and exercise why this yearling is a catch?

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.
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)
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….
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).
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/matriachAspisdistra, 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.

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.
It’s always been unavoidable where many stallions sink into obscurity.
Their replacement is the freshman sire.
Considerable research into International Sire’s – stallions lines to sons, daughter mares across breeding terrains preside to homogenous.
The earnest searching for the true outcross is thoroughly difficult.
Review the Derby winners…the first impression we get is that they are bred in a heterogeneous manner
Bloodstock Breeding – Sir Charles Leicester
What sires will have a breeders support (?) Is it pinned, directed by sprinter-modern v. classic-traditionalist ?
The classic backsliding continues Variance diversity lesser (p.40), and one’s conclusions are the undefined short/long-term crossroad.
The Breed shapers that came n’ saw, changed TB’s forever as referenced upon Northern Dancer and Mr Prospector has todays chef-de-race sires. To the thoroughbred pool, significant other international contributors emerge. Some, unsuspectingly.
Coursing thru generations, the importance shall always remain to evaluating female family bloodlines. The matriarchal productivity, her blueblood genotype & should it ever become science absolute determinable, it clearly remains potential is genuinely consanguineous. (Good honest South American view here.)
Any breeder supervises quality and Function and Functionality. Racehorse function is speed, however phenotype functionality is the ultimate determination.
A continuity at breeding speed has in tact always its backbone of staminabloodlines. The finer point – a pedigree by generation is trans-mutative consequential.
Cross speed with stamina, find middle-distance ability, now that is the guiding hand.

Knicks Go (USA), Breeders Classic G1 winner is set to have a stallion career. The competitive multiple G1 winner (7f – 10f) @ Longines Timeform 128, is no 1 ranked.

But rather satisfying elements, the genetics juxtapose of ordinariness to the extraordinary shaping out.

Of fate n’ destiny, the sire Zed, a son of Zabeel is but a story rich of NZ’s farm culture.
Zed – purchased for $400k as yearling took a damaging kick when loading onwards to Australia and his career was to remain in New Zealand under the hands of Murray Baker, whom also had trained Zed’s dam Emerald Dream.
Zed (under Baker) had 4 starts for 1 win and went duly retired with a ligament strain.
As new sire @ Little Avondale Stud for fee of $500 2 exciting gallopers broke rank – Survived and Usainity, a G3, 3yo winner at Randwick. Zed unfortunately was also a producer of late-maturing progeny and there was the problem.
He left Little Avondale for stallion duty onwards to a South Canterbury farm, Erewhon Station, there to be bred with Clydesdales, & draft horses yet he further maintained his impact as ‘breeder’. (See photo here. )
It was Stud-master Mark Corcorcan of Grangewilliam Stud (Wanganui) whom saw onwards potential, versatility and Zed’s siring ability was to prove him right.

Argentina Breeding & Racing has extensive history and its steady development & growth became world recognised. The first volume of the Argentine stud book was published 1893.
Ormonde, Diamond Jubilee and Bahram. Derby winner Blue Peter’s full brother Full Sail; the brilliant quality – Cyllene, Rustom Pasha, Gulf Stream, Advocate, Aristophane, Tracery, Copyright, The Yurarja, are famous stallion names with stud careers there.
The criteria of stallions to be middle distance performers, or have a middle distance pedigree – as governed by Argentine Pattern of Racing, and this took base to the European model.
It was @ Gran Premio Carlos Pellegrini – the Triple Crown equivalent when in 1966 came a neat medium-sized chestnut horse by Aristophanes with physicality of his grandsire, Hyperion. Forli was acclaimed one of the greatest performers ever bred in Argentina – a brilliant and relentless galloper who was a front-runner. After his Triple Crown performances Forli was sold to US, a syndication headed by Bull Hancock of Claiborne and there became a leading stallion of the 1970’s.
The bloodlines that worked to Argentina & of Argentine bloodstock should not be miscalculated. The ‘rich’ environment factors, astute articulate breeding to strictest performance criteria. Yet it did fall apart. Economic and social unrests, added by government interference, the Argentine breeding depleted and there by, dispersed to US interests.
Petare – a sprinter of high-class for his 35 wins of 94 starts & later, exported to USA producing son Sadair a very fast 2 year old. Sadair produced Pampered Miss, bred by Nelson Bunker Hunt and did her racing in France. One of her progeny came to Waikato Stud in New Zealand. Notably, Petare is also same, female family – acclaim, George Washington (BRZ)
Another to Sadair’s progeny Torrejon (VEN) a multiple G1 performer in Venezuela.
The French bred and 1976 St Leger, Coronation Cup winner Crow (Exbury) from the Argentina mare Carmosina (hers also Forli’s dam line) later exported to the US.
Typical breeding went through the most powerful bloodlines of the ‘day’. They were Seductor, Sideral, Tourbillon through Timor, Pronto & Utopico and Hyperion through Aristophanes.

Internationally raced, G1,2,3 winner by b/m sire Lord At War – the mare Icon Project (USA) – a breeder with Europe’s finest stallions Frankel & Dubawi
(n.b. to Australasian breeders, the Lord At War (ARG) blood carries through Coolmore Stud stallion, Circus Maximus (Galileo), standing at Windsor Park Stud (New Zealand) for stud fee $20k)
Global markets breathe bench-mark, commercial & shuttled stallions. What assorts difference is of course those dam lines. If, too many similarities and what goes ahead (if not already) surrounds the critical depression curve and by another’s good thoughts “smothering the breed with a mudslide of uniformity” thereof, future generations undifferentiated.
To make the steps, adjust, it demands extraordinary drive, willingness to experiment of type, what chisels breeding innovative. The well-worn principle ‘Selective outcrossing between the best bloodlines evolved in widely contrasting environments offers an opportunity for exploiting…heredity by establishing new and possibly favourable gene combinations.’
Utilizing the former discipline to breeding, these established bloodlines – TB vigour, its properly dynamic advantageous.
HERE below, are a number of pedigrees to screen.
– pedigree Hush Girl (ARG) noting her sire line to Damascus, the Teddy descendant noticing to the numerous & international infusion(s).
here come, international bloodlines, ‘type untouchable’ – 3yo filly Going Global (IRE).
Going Global – a multiple G3 & G1 winner Del Mar Oaks (US) – 10 starts for 6 wins racing in Ireland and U.S.
In-breeding is not the case here. An outcross pedigree, classic quality detail is evident for any to reflect correct disciplines of pedigree & breeding analysis.
Her sire Mehmas (IRE) the leading first crop sire in Europe from Wrood (US) a mare by broodmare sire Invasor (ARG) by Candy Stripes, his dam lines are Argentine bloodlines supreme. (take note: forthcoming a hefty topic ….. Argentine and Brazil bloodlines, their branches stem from greatest inheritances ever, so stay tuned!)
I view inbreeding or even linebreeding is not always sum total breeding; modern lines ‘guess-work’. However to observe increasingly, the wider opening of true international cross, the vital higher hybrid is indispensable. I’m gonna say … employing from much wider international branches from era’s ‘inexhaustible’ elite, truest genetic material is essential.
Jump through the multiple lines and size dominant potent factor(s) contribution, what sharpen to upgrade pedigree and particularly to dam’s predecessors the classic building influences.
Anywhere, anytime….I’ve long been the biggest fan of Kris (Sharpen Up) (3rd dam sire). Kris the unbeaten 2yo 2-time Champion European Miler: 1979, 1980. Strip back and find the melding, bountiful genes what echo respectfully any better? A breeder cannot deny those throw-backs akin, Papyrus 6dx6d or Blandford 6dx6Dx8D, Hurry On 7sx7D and inheritance to the modern era stallions to his ie I am Invincible (AUS)(AUS), Kingman (GB), Territories (IRE) & Charm Spirit (IRE), Wrote (IRE) down under (N.Z) equal
– yet the genetic proto-type sits further deep, the invincible, invisible non-classified trait. This our TBL discovery to female family 5i . Hoist the Flag 6sx7D (Machiavellian & Invasor (ARG) + Kris/Sharpen Up trait female family 5i. I believe it is their cross co-contribution which sources the success to this filly’s outcrossing; to satisfy not only speed, but tempo and gait superior efficiency. It is generic combo- concentration instead of solely applying inbreeding 2x Kris as has been to siblings from dam Wrood. notice & review, Mitbaahy (Profitable) & Finans Bay (Kodiac)
It is an exciting pedigree and joy to understand key classic contributors that keep on marching from distance. They are as below….
It’s often critiqued their order, classical blood, are just too far back for influence. Really? It is a scientific view, mutation are averaged to 11.6 generations, then also are the markers to haplotype.
Haplotype mapping may be setting the way to re-working sire and dam compatibility yet noticing relevant sweet spots of dam lines to each parent distaff displays a powerful dynamic beyond itself. Such is the case Sir Gaylord (Mehmas distaff) the daughter Gay France & dam Wrood 5th dam Habitee (Habitat/Sir Gaylord). There are 5 Sir Gaylord strains collective, additionally Sir Ivor, (Green Desert, Shareef Dancer), Society Column (n.b. Invasor distaff)
On our side of the globe we don’t engage much to brilliancy; South America’s breeding lines and its racing. However we should take note. US, & European with theirs, the international bloodlines.
The focus & advancement of a robust competitive, powerful stayer type is traditional set.
Their generations reflect, built from classic true – individuals around Tesio’s era aka Tracery, Rocksand, Fairway, Donatello.
The Breeding thrusts strict selectivity principles: soundness, merit, development, cultivated on lands rich minerals.
Our TBL subject: – an entire horse that takes his racing campaign with guts of a war-horse is George Washington(BRZ) – recent winner, 2021 GP Brazil, 2400m. Also honoured as Brazil’s leading 3yo colt 2018-19 8 wins of 28 starts.
Pedigree here George Washington by Redattore(BRZ) from Princess Carina (BRZ) by Know Heights (IRE)
@ genotype George is the outcross bred.
This alike & as was, the breeding advisory of German-born USA bloodstock agent John Aiscan whom being also an apprentice of Tesio when a young man. – (ref. Upgrading Thoroughbred Families by Jack Glencarry 1995).
To come down thru grand-dam genetics dagger… Heavenly Dancer (BRZ) the3 female dosagesPlanetaria by Penny Post (ARG) an enormous genetic Argentinian influence . Penny Post pedigree here
Penny Post the Rock Sand/Tracery male line – the 9x St Angela dam of St Simon – distaff thru to Musket and 3×4 Melbourne. No wonder he was genetic-gold entire!
Penny Post’s daughter Planetaria – f.f. 3O dam of El Centauro (ARG) (n.b. stood in Japan ’74 – 1981), a mare of old-gold.
George’s sire Redattore (BRZ) also the outcross of female family 1-x, the famed Striking family by War Admiral.
Redattore past away May 2021 but left his …… G1 champion miler Kapo di Tutti, G1 performers Olimpo (2000m), Editore, Tizon g1 winner in Uruguay, Real Secret, mare Zara (1600 – 1800m)
Indeed compelling to learn of another genetic giant like Argentinian bred, Penny Post. Not only supremacy for his Integrity lasting….. Penny Post (credit below)
With every reason to further comprehend genotype integrity; the distinction(s) between investment breeding products, or scoring well at the low-end, sings the praise of a solid purchase.
Sierra Sue (NZ) – a 5 yo mare is categorically the grand example to where/how/why genetics work through critical mass, mitochondrial DNA to focus the dam. The focal points are specifics, where IT happens ieWilkes 5sx5Dx6D
Sierra Sue (NZ) by Darci Brahma from Centree (Centaine)
Vain 4dx5D – Wilkes by Court Martial (CM lines 6S x 6D x 7d x 7D x 8D x 8D via Lyphard, Truly Vain + Wilkes.
Come the marvellous superior – their genetics ‘govern’ to note Centree’s broodmare sire, Centaine by Century in geno- frame is undoubtedly, a My Babuconduit.
Pathway genetics = potent progenitors
Add in Wilkes, add in Star Kingdom, add in Hyperion one can’t beat those rock n’ rollers of pedigrees.
Native Trail (Oasis Dream) a big powerful bay colt & goes another talent for Godolphin racing.
3 starts for 3 wins this two year old epitomizes savvy raw. As foal, big on ‘type’, he went sold for 50k (euros) then @ Craven Breeze-Up, 210K gns & purchased on Godolphin’s behalf.
As cornerstone of today’s modern thoroughbreds, breed-shaper Northern Dancer. His line-bred duplications at times misjudged, where ‘he’ alone, rather than placed ‘with’ distaff dam lines, are the potent pedigree plan.
Nature Trail – 4S x 5S x 7D x 5d x *7D x *5DNorthern Dancer with, 5s x 5S x 7D Never Bend are main-trunk lines & Northern Dancer’s dam Natalma hallmark geno.
Thanks to Canadian born circles, I went alerted Northern Dancer was not born till late May (Feb/March foals). This was largely due to N.D’s dam Natalma, per her 3 year filly racing campaign ending with injury. Another quick decision thereafter to have Natalma covered immediately by Nearctic. (ref. Natalma | Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame).
Well, that is breed shaping for you!
Native Trail from an unraced dam to family 4-f ; further tracing back to 4th dam Populi, a good producer of 14 foals 10 winners. Populi greatest – Vanlandingham (USA) – a US champion older male later exported to Saudi Arabia.
Its worthy to note Olympia, 7sx7D, a grand-son of Hyperion and Spy Song 8dx7d from wonderful Mata Hari. And closer inNijinsky 6Dx4d, as goes to the 3rd dam sire.
(n.b. Native Trail’s dam Needleleaf is full sister G1 sprinter African Rose (Observatory) & was trained in France. Another full sister Helleborine (GB) is dam of Calyx (Kingman) – the Coolmore stallion stands in Australia)
It is quite a family….
Though it may appear insignificant… don’t ever ignore distaff line backCarbine + 2x Musket. They called ‘them’, the Musket breed, duly winning ‘tough’ – Melbourne and Caulfield cups and 4x Australian sire. Mega dominant – read Carbine/Spearmint et al,the natural win, Nature Strip (AUS) & cool n’ easy: Incentivise (AUS) and Martha’s daughters…family 2-h
How do these infuse to Native Trail? Look to Felstead 7sx9s – Bull Dog 7x strains & full brother Sir Gallahad 4x strains from Plucky Leige (f.f.16a) by Spearmint/Carbine (family 2-h)
– from maiden to Makybe Diva Stakes G1 winner (G1) over a space 5 months – the Australian 5yo bay gelding by Shamus Award is talk of the racing community.
His farm nick name is ‘Splinter’ – worth-a-read story where ugly-duckling grows swan to home breeding development and to his deceased dam. Read a great article here.
To subjects genotype & prototype : the natural win, Nature Strip (AUS) the factors, Spearmint lines thru familial distaffs and of similarity, comes around toIncentivise (Shamus Award – Miss Argyle) .
Noting…Incentivise6th dam Phrygia distaff by Felstead/Spion Kop/Spearmint. Coronation Boy grand- dam Wild Mint by Spearmint, 15x Nogara from Catnip by Spearmint via Nearco & Niccolo dellarco – 12x Plucky Leige by Spearmint 12x via Sir Gallahad, Bull Dog. A good reminder Danzing is distaff, 3rd dam Felstead.
Of further remarkable interest is Spearmint’s daughter Bathing Girl exported to USA. Two generations later the dam produces Hall of Fame US chestnut sire Eight Thirty & broodmare sire of Hold Your Peace (USA).
Felstead 9sx7D expand 10 strains Spearmint
it’s remarkable to see Incentivise’s Hyperion line-bred @ 26 strains greater balance v. Nearco’s 18. However Hyperion’s dam Selene @ 21 strains through her 3 sons Hyperion, Pharamound, Sickle indicates she is the further genetic power.
Spokes wheel inner, this is Star Kingdom: to the old road: Star Kingdom (IRE) 5 strains via Biscay, Kaoru Star, Noholme, Fairy Stream. The SK male lineto Incentivise grand-dam, Precious Pearl. Plus broodmare sire Iglesia, the SK male line to dam-daughter Yodells & grand-dam Yodelling Lady. Incentivise sire Shamus Award, SK male line to the granddam Finito Fling. This is a distinct arrangement, core genetic-carriage, familial daughters distaff has the refining practice.
Further thru genetic layers that of ‘nicks’; Star Kingdom to Spearmint, resting with Carbine (sire of Spearmint) by Star Kingdom’s broodmare sire Concerto (GB) from dam line, noting granddam by Carbine.
The concentration of speed in the parents of Star Kingdom and so signally expressed in his own performances and progeny had a revolutionary impact on the Australian thoroughbred.
Peter Willetts – The Classic Racehorse
potent degrees of speed n’ stamina are rightly, unique
Uncovering his strains reveals a lot to genetic wonders of thoroughbred breeding.
Nature Strips broodmare sire Desert Sun – an ‘eye of the storm’. Desert Sun’s pedigree outcross are classic Blandford multiples mixed to Lady Josephine speed factors.
Desert Sun – sire of the great New Zealand & Australian Hall of Fame champion mare Sunline (NZ) and broodmare sire to unbeaten champion mare, Black Caviar (AUS) & her half brother sire, All Too Hard (Casino Prince) notably the sire of Alligator Blood, Behemoth, Demonitization, Wellington and the filly, Forbidden Love. Also b/m sire of 4yo stallion Poland (So You Think) for 2 G3 wins, where Poland’s distaff is same female-family to Sunline.
Desert Sun, sire of La Bella Dema (NZ) a mare of G1 class & mare, Our Egyptian Raine (NZ) G1 Australian sprinter.
A true honest producer, Desert Sun ‘get’ may be best thought as tough, determined.
Nature’s Strip sire – Nicconi a fair modest sire of G1 bridesmaid filly Lankan Star & gelding Sirconni a G2 & G3 performer to 4 wins & also, 7x Stakes wins, chestnut gelded Quatronic.
Nature’s Strip dam, the distaff reveals remarkable factors where 6th dam, is daughter of Nearco. 3rd dam by Zamazaan (FR) champion sire of stayers in Australian and New Zealand, has 4×4 son & daughter by Nearco, & thereafter pedigree comes running back through Nearco sons. This template exercises the preferred refinement via female daughters, not sons.
@ TBL – *it is strongly considered Nearco’s dam Nogara to her dam Catnip by Spearmintby Carbine was the ‘most’ responsible factor to Tesio’s earliest selection choice of family & dam line. Spearmint also runs to Danzig’s dam line (3rd dam) by Felstead/Spion Kop/Spearmint & plus, Bletchingly (AUS) via his 3rd dam. Also broodmare sire, Desert Sunhas 6th dam by Felstead/Spion Kop/Spearmint and again, Pre-Emptive Strike (CAN) 5th dam by Felstead/Spion Kop/Spearmint. They are all female, dam factor inheritance.

Spearmint was the 1906 Epsom Derby winner
Of further interest are Nature Strips dam strain(s) by female family 1P (foundation family of Astor stud, UK).
– family 1Pdistaff per Nature Strip: Pre-Emptive Strike (CAN) and Wilwyn (GB) son of Pink Flower (Oleander GER) from Plymstock daughter of Winkipop 1 n’ same broodmare sire family of the great Phar Lap.
Also family 1P the distaff to Black Caviar & plus to her pedigree – 3×4 Vain by Wilkes by Court Martial from dam Instantaneous of the 1P family.
As we watch Nature Strip, we may further marvel those Bloodlines he carries.
3yo bay filly Vita Da Mamma (CHI) (Seeking the Dia (USA) – Testarudala ex- Stuka) pedigree. Chilean Guineas 1600m (G1) & Clasico Arturuo Lyon Pena (G1) winner
Her pedigree has big history: New Zealand bred infusion by name Brokers Tip (NZ) by SummerTime by Precipitation.
Brokers Tip (NZ) from NZ colonial family C25 – 3×5 Hurry On – performed in New Zealand, Australia, US & Canada and became a sire in Chile. He produced some good daughters where Bordada (CHI) is Vita da Mamma’s 4th dam.
Brokers Tip grand-daughter, produced a high-class Guineas performer Triple Joy (CHI), & as dam, produced Tabita (Proud Citizen) (G2 winner) + sprinter Tobri (Castle Gandolfo)10 wins from 18 starts + G2 performer Tobrita (Stormin Fever) 4 wins from 20 starts.
Having prior commented to alternative bloodline infusions, high integrity south americas temple-breeding manner has ‘Thy ONE’ – Penny Post (ARG), strain El Centauro (ARG) per the 5th dam Greek Glory (ARG).
Of his account – Penny Post (ARG) was ‘giant’: a genetic book, line & verses, rewriting bloodlines through Argentina, Chile and Peru where his modern day success bloodline appears through Brazil’s champion 3yo colt and multiple 2000m -2400m G1 winner George Washington (BRZ) 3x strains Penny Post daughter – Planetaria (ARG), dam of El Centauro (ARG).
The intrigue continues far… its those Italian bloodlines, Tesio’s ‘stamp’ and home-breeding cross lines, arising through the German-bred sire Brecher (GER) exported to Argentina and there a leading sire; and broodmare sire, G3 sprinter Mocito Serio.
From there the cross heads to US bloodlines; there what dominates homogozity nucleus pattern is the family 8C, Vita Da Mamma’s distaff + Storm Cat’s distaff (Terlingua) + family 13C via Seattle Slew, Mr Prospector to distaff Myrtlewood
New breeding season – ‘how’ does one really take impression to a quality sire?
Slick reasons are many & should any sire capture interest its good reason to examine.
Tho’ quality goes well enough more you give genotype the attention, better it gets.
Genetic doors swing wide open, revolve and specifics are the greater window.
Today’s subject – chestnut stallion Showtime (AUS) by Snitzel from Fridais ex-Timber Country (USA) unfolds a genotype pedigree – one which wins me over. (and no, there is no pony of mine in this race)
He is striking – almost certainly a ‘true’ breeder, ‘mover’ upgrader andof course, no need to further acclaim his sire, the great 4x Australian Champion sire, Snitzel (Redoute’s Choice).
Amongst all racehorse TB’s & of bloodlines, Showtime surely begs an interesting appeal. We’ll focus on Showtime’s dam (as below) to review fresh lines into the breeding mix, (hybrid vigour) additionally strains not often seen.
I would say his dam is an essay, a discovery, for breeding is not make n’ model reproduction without reflecting carefully laid principles, the key.
shrewd knowledge pockets good quality – handsome is, handsome does Showtime (AUS) is the way of the future
there He was… Showtime with the airs of an equine aristocrat
The ‘way’ a Stallion speaks, the pedigree shall also. He carries individuality, the eye surveys, the strong neck, withers, shoulder depth, sloping croup, strong lithe bone; that IT factor… it (he) esssentially, speaks character.
‘Tis the familial ‘cradle’ which rocks.. New Zealand influences of mightiest ancestry refusing to empty.
Geneticists suggest these may necessarily not have effect? hmmm, really?
To Showtime’s 5th dam Kalimera (NZ) pinpoints origin. These are the 7 strains of Musket (Nightmarch, Nordenfeldt, Pink Coat, Carbine, Spearmint)
Next built-in, the strains to Alycidon and Luthier/Klairon (FR) aka the highly distinguishable family 1-W, the eminent Marchetta line, spine and TB back-bone.
Familial genetics the great link between Marchetta & another Miss Matty where their sire-line is Marcovil/Marco. The great influential sire-line to Papyrus (Princequillo, Ribot, Star Kingdom, Urban Sea & more exclusive individuals…)
Navigating to south americas where dam infusions find acquaintance to South America’s tapestry bloodlines: stalwart breeders by generations upon fertile mineral rich land. They’re disciplined with exceptional diligence to robust lines, utilizing and rebuilding to their product & brand functional. There’s is the exceptional hybrid vigour recipe shaping back through – well into classic, vigorous blood.
First Norman (USA) Showtime’s grand-dam sire, is in sum total, an Americas alternative to Sundridge inheritance type & his, the original source of speed. First Norman’s sire Cougar (CHI) 5×5 Solario where First Norman has,+ 5×5 Mumtaz Begum.
Broodmare sire Timber Country (USA) a champion 2 yo – 4×5 Swaps (Khaled/Hyperion) & note sire of the chestnut gelding Eremein (ex-Marrego by Marscay), a performer over 1100m to 2400m +++ 2005 Australian Derby winner and 2006 BMW (2400m) winner.
The take on Showtime has just this…when genetics timely arise, they sharpen unexpectantly, hence your hybrid vigour.
Snitzel’s genetic inclination to Star Kingdom factors gains clarity where classic blood dominates.ie First Norman Solario and Swaps aka Hyperion speed/stamina in balance.
I’m thinking… advisory breeding complementary broodmares: –I am Invincible, targeting Kris/Sharpen Up (i.e. 4×5 Hyperion + 1 Felstead/Spion Kop/Spearmint/Carbine/
Lonhro – Hyperion factors + Klarion
Dundeel – note Targui (FR) 3×4 Tourbillon + Dundeel’s 5th dam by Red Mars/Hyperion comparing, Showtime’s 5th dam Kalimera by Red Jester by Red Mars (Hyperion)!
Glory is flying with two French bred Group 1 winners Skalleti (FR) and Sisfanan (FR); each relate by sire, Kendargent (GB).
First, 6yo grey gelding Skalleti (FR) winner of last 4 starts, most recent in Munich, the Grosser Dallmayr-Preis. Skalleti is by Kendargent & Kendargent the broodmare sire, to chestnut colt, Sisfanan (Ishfahan) a 2021 Deutsches Derby winner.
Skaleeti (FR) winner 1600m – 2000m – 21 starts for 16 wins @ 5 international Racing venues.
Skaleeti flies, the winner (2000m) Grooser Dallmayr-Preis G1 video
Sire, Kendargent (GB) started his stallion career as a super, super modest sire – kind of a no-where man, he fired to super dynamic G1 sire producer & more so spectacularly, a remarkable broodmare sire. Praise.
Kendargent: – 3×4 Kalamoun, (French 2000 guineas, Prix Lupin, Prix Jacques le Marois) the son of Zeddaan, son of Grey Sovereign, son of Nasrullah. Noting Grey Sovereign’s grandson sire Caro, factors Kendargent’s broodmare sire Linamix (FR). Further Nasrullah multiples unravel – genetic relationships Nasrullah via Grey Sovereign, Nearul, Nantallah, (Kendor’s female distaff) Bold Ruler added to that Kalamoun distaff has Fair Trial overall 7 strains, Mumtaz Begum
” in turf history… Nasrullah would dramatically influence the breed for speed” Grey Sovereign was England’s leading sire of two year olds in 1958 and 1961 and 2nd on the Sire’s List 1960. Ken McLean. Designing Speed in the Racehorse
Kendargent – Kalamoun – Palarvia – 5sx6d
Skaleeti: – as per discussed sire Kendargent, provision of distinguished traits belonging @ the ‘speed’ family 9C. Dam Skallet (FR) is a 1900m – 2100m performer. More Nasrullah strains arrive, via A P Indy. The family 9C genetic scope ranges to Migoli his daughter La Malaguena the 7th dam of Skaleeti, Abernant (Solicitor) & plus, loading thru 7 strains of Fair Trial + Royal Charger. Neat as a pin.
The second subject – Sisfanan is a chestnut colt sired by Isfahan (GER) with siring line back to Shirley Heights/Mill Reef/Never Bend from dam Lalun (Djeddah) & unfortunately closest we shall ever get to the extinct Djebel male line.
Sisfanan’s sire, Isfahan (Ger), also a Deutsches Derby winner and his sire, Lord of England (Ger) a 3yo German top-rated individual. They undoubtedly quality breeding sires, competitive producers and these genetics, not to be underestimated.
Stars in my eyes – Sisfanan (FR) an exciting colt & undoubtedly, a potential sire’s pedigree – easily the ‘siring’ house of full working order & a truly exciting prospect ahead.
Danehill free too….
Sisfanan has 5x5x4 Sharpen Up, + follow up Kendargent as above.
Of Kendargent produce, son and stallion Goken (FR) a dual G3 winner, and hot supplier of early producing 2yo winners. Namely, to his: – filly, Livachope , gelding Go Atheletico, colt Axdavali .
Goken’s fee started at 5k euros, with an increase to 15k euros.

Kendargent – a grey’fireball’ of genetics true with all kudos to astute French breeders.
elsewhere – discussions come n’ go re: selections to using fresh-man sires.
What goes??? the performance, the quality of the racing individual, or other testimony to breeding capability as sire?
What gives way is the genetic makeup & how it may carry through.
Naturally the mare is other half of the equation.
Utilizing inbreeding, linebreeding relativity is also reviewing what stamping type model shall progress ‘character’ further.
Today’s example to the Unbeaten winner of 5 starts, gelded Hong Kong sprinter Courier Wonder (NZ) – a NZ Bloodstock yearling purchase by John Foote Bloodstock $150,000
By deceased sire Sacred Falls (NZ) – a 3×5 Centaine (Century) template (noting ‘perfect’ female carrier position), let’s reconcile why dominant characters govern. This is the destiny of genetics.
What choice to? What trait ideal ‘selecting’ ? -the complete complexity of all those furthest individuals raining down through pedigree.
Courier Wonder thru haplotype (ie. female family 14c collective) could represent foundational homozygous fashion.
For mine its trotting out via My Babu (Djebel) carried thru female carriage consistent. ie 6th dam grand-sire My Babu.
Centaine/Century/Better boy/ My Babu
Savannah Success from female distaff My Babu
Sir Tristram, granddam All my Eye by My Babu
Iguazu 3×3 Century et al
– to push validation – the My Babu (Djebel dynasty via Djeddeh daughter Lalun ie Never Bend/Miss Reef) all shall come into sharp focus.
The other and never of any less… Star Kingdom line through Bletchingly/ Todman and Canny Lad.
Once again (in this case) it is not planning the pedigree, but where-to Identification; what Type may be representative ‘true’ of such mating.
Courier Wonder (NZ) has full sister Icebath (NZ) she 20 starts for 3 wins.
Sing n’ praise – the vintage bred pedigrees: a little nuggety 5 yo gelding Highly Decorated shows his ability to run from 1300m to 2050m and become people’s champ to the 2021 Great Northern Darwin Cup.
On topic, another to Danehill (3×4) yet Highly Decorated- his 7 straight wins shall explode theory n’ stat modelling of what is true breeding perfect?
As always ‘was’ – the mare’s genetics are the ‘Thing’, the consideration of what genetic layers as distaff, as built through.
The sleeping dragonsIdomenoo(Alycidon) via distaff + Stratum/Luskin Star 6dx5d.
Star Kingdom 8Dx6Dx6D via Mighty Kingdom, Luskin Star, Canny Lad
The infinite, ineffable favourite to any pedigree anyplace, anytime: Djebel/Tourbillon where reproduced – Levandou (FR), Irish River, Never Bend, Targui.
Again the demo: – greatness is the genetic families come via the dam. Epaulette’s dam, a famous German family ‘rich’ to 2yo, 3yo German champion Anna Paola (GER).
Anna Paola – 5th dam of Godolphin’s Frankel3yo colt and Epsom Derby winner Adayar (Frankel – Anna Salai).

More questions & judges want clarity… ‘there are winners inbred to Danehill’
For opinions sake only …. we’re not too fussed to inbred Danehill models i.e. by 3rd remove. Nevertheless, curiosity is a better option.
Every call has a first-up impression. Over the other-side, hard-line statistics call it out.
Whilst Danehill was Australasian 90’s breed-shaper, we’re assuming the 20 years +, has ‘over corrected’ (the pendulum; balance of genetic). This scenario is through popularized breeding objectives: early maturing sprinter material, arrives model, genotype/phenotype standard. But there is an overdone dilemma. Was it intended?
‘you cannot change the morphology from one hour to the next without unfortunate losses in every way‘ (Gilberto Junqueria)
‘show the past, the selection, our horse and to alert to loss of characteristics of the pure- that which had occurred in recent years‘ (Gilberto Junqueria)
On pedigree matters – it is to a greater Understanding where greater influences arise.… pure Dominance.
Pure … overthrow everything else from the hybrid-nature thoroughbred. (That is Tesio lore…)
Lucky Patch (NZ) formally registered as Paleontologist and was exported to Hong Kong May 2020.
The planning (selection) to what strain (akin to a genetic trail) belongs to where/how/why one attains correct Influence of pedigree often, the Masters Touch.
Direct nearest influences, the mitochondrial DNA distaff has Lucky Patch’s dam Gould by Danehill Dancer.
Gould carries the distinguished ‘Big hitters’ namely Tourbillon/8Dx8Dx9d son Targui as inbred to Tourbillon. Big clue there!
– Tourbillon/Djebel thru My Baby/Clarion/Djeddah/Targui to their contemporary influences/descendants as by sire (El Roca) viz, Fastnet Rock, Rubiton (Century) X brood mare Sir Tristram, female Julioette by Targui.
This is a concentrate blueprint.
The dam, Gould has a 1/2 sister Gouldikova (AUS) by General Nediym which ran in South Africa for 19 starts, 2 wins and 6 placings. She bred the filly Good Times Roll by Time Thief for 1 win of 14 starts (South Africa).
To working out Danehill: – an old hand says…. the ‘want’ to overcook the pudding (pedigree) is often damage-done. It takes a good number of generations from ‘too much, too close’ dosages to soften back and what runs mostly, decidedly, the course ahead.
Insights to Sire El Rocarecommended – confident appeal, he really ‘stands’ quality of a honest stallion.
“Nostalgic praise for the good old days is a Plant that knows no boundaries of time or space, and so it is not surprising that should also blossom on the racetracks, and even in the sheltered hot-houses of science”. Tesio
Nearco, Northern Dancer, Native Dancer the standard line-bred intensification to 2 year old precocious speed development keeps proliferating.
Of tipping points there has consequence to racing thoroughbreds – an imbalance to genetic introgression pools.
The one-line direction is not sustainable.
Nostalgic written, the celebrations and those eulogies based to stallions akinDjebel, Forli, Hyperion,Hurry On, are those fated lines. The strong pillars of ‘yesteryear’ come sparse, but for where also best qualityrests. Today’s distributions carried by daughter descendants and producers.
The noble identities 'existed as residual modes of the Thoroughbred, ecologically valuable and necessary to maintain the very survival of the central aptitude'. (reference, Typology of the Racehorse - Varola).
How to renew & make lasting diversity is the necessary challenge & tomorrow’s frontier.
Where noble ‘Frames’ continue not, the solutions are somewhat, settled by a vacuous path. Race programmes may soften, shorten. By degrees.. a weaker predicament further damaging innate integrity where a greater doctrine to breeding/racing intersects.
Federico Tesio points his finger & with an iron jaw states: “the true measure of progress is directed only toward the well-being of the individual and the preservation of the spies’.
True breeding progression is of genetic giants. It is placing their vigour back, as the construct to breeding. This parallels alongside the nature of selection.
The reproductive power, contrary to what some novice breeders imagine, come from an extremely slow process of purification, only achieved with time, patience, obstinacy, and firmness of concepts.*
The selection must be uniform and constant.*
The selector must keep in mind that competence shapes the forms (morphological).*
Tesio words it well…. “selection is the Element which has made the greatest contribution to developing the breed of the thoroughbred”.

No, not a flash in the pan. The boutique breeder and owner J. Kaufmann may be Australia’s wizard. Her simple appreciation, simple Likes and preferences are… nous breeding is tacitly refined.
Not always in-breeding, nor line-bred multiples …this is nature’s trick for mit DNA clustering on a pin-hole.

When you put those kind of pedigrees together, this is what happens – Aidan O’Brien
Snowfall’s juvenile campaign was not competitive till winning the 2021 Cazoo Oaks – her 16 length record finish alongside astute patience by jockey, Frankie Dettori.
The deceased Japan stallion Deep Impact covers the Galileo mare. She is the international sprint family aptly named Best In the World (IRE). The superiority of cross parentage cannot be matched.
Our exercise here to find those kind of pedigrees ..the power-house behind.
Before so…
the previous blog finds breeding today, biases speed talk. That philosophy without further sufficiency to Type, constitutional raw ‘tough’ ability is crude. The driving force, hiding back inwards, these generations shall select or encompass concentrated detail.
Mastering objectives a la Tesio, other selective determinations are given wisely.
Tesio stipulates 1) Without the machine breaking down 2) selected for their ability, 3) to withstand the terrificimpact of speed” – Tesio Breeding the Racehorse.
However beyond this, Tesio remains aloof. He is looking at a certain Type, a certain ability.
… he goes experimenting with geno and phenotype – “this fruit is not like the others” Tesio observes.
Tesio – a smart tactician declares “The great law of balance, symmetry being a form of balance“.
He is astute. He is diligent. He is the Wizard of Dormello.

The above are ‘symptomatic’ the genetic characters’ inlaid to arriveType.
“You never radically modify a breed in terms of weight and size without loss in other factors, acting in this way you throw the child out with the bath water. Our selection is slower, more traditional, but without losing the qualities that made it successful.” Gilberto Junqueira
Elysian Fields that we compete to, cometh the Holy-Grail genome; a pedigree has obstinate fact that breeding has skills of moral quality.
The science progresses – 1) mutation Whalebone monopolizes a greater population 2) other TB progenitors supplicate 3) Darley Arabian, Bylerley Turk and Godolphin Arabian are Turkomene, the stamina/stayer TT allelle.
The isolation to genome-maps, Tb-dW mutation Whalebone responsible to the English Thoroughbred, perhaps (?) might enshrine ‘W’ above all other characteristics.
– a solitary haplotype overall, is not a single solution.
The complex well – unknown sires and remote mares; never (hopefully) considered lesser contributory character.
In collateral lines Joseph Osborne in 1881 counted no less than 475 stallions with their names in the Stud-Book – all of them Arabians, Barbs or Turks imported chiefly during the reign of James I and Queen Anne (16 – 17th C) – Tesio, Breeding the Racehorse
Types conduce autogenous strains. Consideration is a ‘Type’ (speed or distance sire) across another genotype, to set-forth again another Type, and arrive (at best) optimal functionality.
The Type sits to Integrity & Selection.
The substructure beneath… balance & ‘counterbalance’ is always the adaptation (function & purpose).
Tesio (Breeding the Racehorse), to his thinking… “to produce a great horse one must be able to find among his first 62 ancestors individuals which showed classic quality over 1 mile, 11/4mile, 11/2 miles and 2 miles. Without a representative of the 1 mile race in his pedigree it will be difficult to produce a horse of outstanding quality, because he will be incapable of those bursts of nervous energy which are synonymous with speed”
Tesio further notes – short distances went for 2nd and 3rd rate horses.
His, the undeniable objective … produce a horse of outstanding quality.
By market stimulus…the model of today’s contemporary breeding, for racing product, has peaked to nucleus speed.
To pendulum furthest , a collective mainstream breeding & racing, are albeit, speed systems. The other hand amiss. Stamina-stayer re: constitutional toughnessexists to structure, support mechanism.
Tesio states 1) Without the machine breaking down 2) selected for their ability, 3) to withstand the terrificimpact of speed” – Tesio Breeding the Racehorse.
Tesio clearly recognized the 3 issues above. Welfare and quality are issues we face today.
It is never one solution, neither to coral speed by sequential C:C gene.
Acquiring ‘supreme’ dominant hereditary Factors are not purely affixing speed in-bred, but a thorough balance, elevated to another – a pre-potent cross-character.
The finding – ‘a’ dominant allele (if inherited, correctly) has a relentless character. It is generally explanative transposing genetics. to arrive the specie with its corrective function.
A cross-character, type-vigour is highly aggressive, if/when expressed or introduced Intentionally.
“select quality of each character is in proportion to the rigour of the selection and the period of time that it covers”. (Tesio)

Stardust, the sire of Smokey Eyes and Star Kingdom was a small son of Hyperion. Stardust was rarely supported by commercial breeders. Stardust’s best performed sons were inbred to Sunstar and line-bred to Canterbury Pilgrim.
Star Kingdom at one time… had more than 70 sons and grandsons standing at stud in Australia and New Zealand.
Star Kingdom’s sons of great pedigree influences are: – Biscay, the Australian Horse of the Year Noholm, (Noholm II when sent to US) & Noholm full brother, Todman -(twice Champion sire of 2 year olds) & Kaoru Star.
Further note, the Star Kingdom Grandsons – Luskin Star a champion Sprinter-Miler, Bletchingly 3x Champion sire & champion juvenile sire.
¹ As a foal, due to a compacted bowel, Luskin Star had to fight for his life. As a yearling, he failed to reach his reserve going for a bargain price – $8000.
The speed machine, ‘Comet from the Coalfieds’ made the habit of distancing the field – his challengers only saw rump. He completed the Triple Crown with a slashing six-length win in the AJC Champagne Stakes.
A commanding chestnut over 16.1 hands, very short cannons, powerful hindquarter and strong loins. A huge over stride he won 13 times from 17 starts

Many ‘latent’ bloodlines (less ‘modern’ recognized) come developed from names to Sundridge, Tracery, Sainfoin, Jean Gow, Miss Matty, Loika. (there are more…)
Unique names Marchetta, Miss Matty, are not paradoxically by greater line-bred dosages but are present by a stronger compass, even though assumed of ‘past’ select minority.
Their inheritance extraordinary transmitting integrity, sex-character potency.

“the first and most important problem of the Thoroughbred breeder is to recognize the prepotent individual, the sire or dam which is more likely to produce a high-class racer than most other sires and dams. – J. Estes
Sir Tristram’s son & stallion Grosvenor (NZ) are finest bloodlines. Multiple Group 1 winner – VRC Sires Produce @ 2yrs, VRC Derby & Caulfield Guineas winner
Further, it was with analytics’ – surveying breeding by ancestor duplications, stating: **[ “seventy five sires (that is three in every five) are in the 50-60% band. Only two, xx & Raja Baba are above 70%” ]
Classic, superior breeding has the seductive mechanism. These progenitor dominant girls (the female factor) and stallion sons have qualitive trait which is simple, direct inheritance.

The broodmare population, sits to the mit DNA & is just as much feminine pre-potency; Tesio approached ⇒ *breed back to as many line of prepotent females as possible*
– avoid duplicated males through sons only
– feature the Duplication through a DESIRABLE sex-balance, by carrying the (key) influential individual (wanted) through a son & daughter (i.e. not for the sake of duplication, alone)
Going through pedigrees, the pre-potent females are still there, out there... yet comes of a factor under-utilized, even carelessly ignored.
The peril.. to not seize those female pre-potent factors.
Of greater genotype to genetic finesse are hidden details within details – not entirely the map heading its – 3×4 inbreeding, nor the majority multiples, to line-breeding.
– we have been looking at older stats from Bluebood’s publications: these stats by arion.co.nz hinted a strong clue WHY pre-determined sire’s take pedigree pre-potency to another level.
We found –
there is a consistent XY TRANSMITTOR
they ARE few alone, in the range 5% top
Recognizing these transmit their own, a dominance: the allelle(s) of a certain strain/genus stamps ‘over’ everything else.
It appears (for whatever reason) a few high-quality but forgotten’ back’ breeding factors shall go ‘unseen’ ; perhaps progeny did not give ‘immediacy’. Yet once that pond has settled, their re-emergence ‘marks out’ undoubtedly.
The case in point to the subject colt’s sire Extreme Choice, has a sharp influence to Raja Baba (USA). (n.b. opening his pedigree IS self-explanatory…)
– Raja Baba by Bold Ruler from Miss Baba. Note: his 1/2 sister is Gay Missile (USA) the dam of Gay Mecene (USA)and maternal sire of Annabaa. (refer below)
(n.b. Gay Missile hails to the same family to Summer Squall by Storm Bird, A P Indy (Seattle Slew) & Lemon Drop Kid (Kingmambo)
Extreme Choice a sprinter for 7 starts for 4 wins. I shall suggest he is a young australian sire ahead of his time. The mitDNA goes per family 12C, esteemed as the Whiteshirt mare. (→ 1 Trait in a Genetic Ocean – II)
Whist the numbers down can not yet define Extreme Choice/ broodmare sire cross, an indication (reservedly) is the influential female family 1P aka Hornbeam to his pedigree of the great classic influencers.
The european sprinter Annabaa, a son of Danzig and the colt’s broodmare sire – Annabaa sired the amazing Irish bred mare Goldikova. She inbred 4×4 to Riverman.
It is to the past building influences of the maternal dam that in our book has the deciding design ahead. The powerful of ALL is the perpetual and ancestral trait that is the ‘Stamp’ – these belonging to sons and all lineages to Djebel/Tourbillon/Ksar/Brueleur, its genetic band width.
To our subject – these alike ‘band-widths’ come built through this colts 5th dam a grand-daughter of Djebel and plus as infused via, Bay Phantom (USA) grand-sire Ambiorix (FR), a son of Tourbillon.
Our past analysis has commented much of prototype conduits. They’re sitting beneath the surface and re-surfacing – as such is the case re: Bay Phantom (USA) family 2h.
– by referencing to the 4th dam Helen Drake (USA), it draws upon 4sx4s Domino 23b (the backbone family to American Bloodstock families) and 3dx3d to Hurley Burley (family 2h). This once gain is the genetic doorway to Martha’s daughters… (or re-read → Secretariat and Carbine, ad infinitum
Where the colt, Stay Inside, has 5sx3Dx5D Danzig…do note the greater tap-maternal influence is Felstead to male-linage of great-grand-sire Carbine (family 2h) i.e. conduit Type factor
By now we may appreciate the colt Stay Inside is richly bred and as mightily has his racing back-bone well- together to an European/American inheritance model.
It’s always been unavoidable where many stallions sink into obscurity. Their replacement is the freshman sire. Considerable research into International …
