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.

The pedigree of Eclipse takes fascinating insight upon mitochondrial DNA. The family 11 aka, Sedbury Royal Mare (2x) has I2a1 to Eclipse dam, Spilletta I2a2.
