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.

@Molly Bloom, a reinforcement of the exemplary Cinna influence is principle.

Interestingly genetic research suggests the Herod typology as racehorse may be increasing.

Perhaps this lays the ‘root’ of successful breeding.
