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.
- Why? It is as above Pattern > 4×3 Bold Ruler, double-cross Princequillo, Poker mare https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/114556/the-continuing-impact-of-seattle-slew. Seattle Slew embodies 19x St Simon, 8x Fair Play (5dx5d War Admiral), 10x Spearmint.
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.
