For a yearling purchase of $A40k – our subject pedigree the Foxwedge 3yo colt, Lunar Fox Lunar Fox Horse Pedigree (pedigreequery.com) took the 2021 VRC Australian Guineas title. As a 2yo he won the Sires Produce Stakes (1400m).
Given no chance by the punters, he was a 300-1 long shot. Say no more…
Ever since watching New Zealand’s G.1 race mare Volpe Veloce, we far appreciated the versatile Fastnet Rock son & sire Foxwedge. Foxwedge Horse Pedigree (pedigreequery.com)
Foxwedge stands at Woodside Park for service fee $A11,000. His latest progeny, G1 daughter Run Fox Run races in South Africa winning the 1000m Cape Flying Championship.
Here’s the glue: –
*breed back to as many line of prepotent females as possible*
Lunar Fox has dominant clustering to the female family 2S.
The family 2S is commonly, highly recognizable to Individuals’, Secretariat and Sir Gaylord from dam, Somethingroyal.
– should we ‘think’ further to mit DNA, (strain) there comes together…the ancestress Cinq a Sept (GB) by Roi Herode.
– there to the fold, ingress Cinq a Sept bears to Lunar Fox, so notice his broodmare sire (Malibu Moon by A.P. Indy) tails back herself, Cinq a Sept, family 2S
– ++ add to that…Lunar Fox’s 4th tail-dam as sired by Alleged (Hoist the Flag – Princess Pout)
– Alleged, the two-times Prix de’Arc de Triomphe winner and champion 3yo in England & France, where the 6th tail-dam hails Cinq a Sept.💥
∴ Somethingroyal family 2S – 9Sx7Sx6Dx8D + the 2S family, as Malibu Moon + 2S dam of Alleged
and we note –
Run Fox Run – Somethingroyal family 2s – 9sx7sx8Dx9Dx8D via, principle individuals Sir Gaylord & Secretariat
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.
