In Memory of Seattle Slew – genetics to a goldmine

Remembering US Triple Crown racing champions is a ‘must’ and one can wonder upon their unique potential; the genetic power which bestows the champions pedigree beyond and through generations.

Seattle Slew entered the American racing world having being acquired for a modest sum. He was under-rated several times, yet a tough determination maketh the true champion and it is today, the contemporary pedigree so take Seattle Slew.

A good strong head leads rest of the animal: Intelligence of an Animal has Head and Eye & the animal portrays his individuality.

The Bull in Seattle Slew.

He would use up so much energy before a race and still destroy the opposition; and that’s a trait he throws (in his bloodlines).

Seattle Slew – dam My Charmer (USA) a designated Reine de Course mare – family 13c, designated I2a Haplotype.

Ancestral breeding may appear remote to the modern pedigree. Our basis is to explore and understand why certain individuals appear to stay at consistent dominance to the hybrid-bred thoroughbred & what lies below the radar. Once exposed, albeit subtle, a genetic sequence is more determined.

TBL has past determined an **affinity between #BT St Simon and #GA Hastings (sire of Fair Play) as both per broodmare sire @ King Tom sired by Harkaway. (we note there is Glencoe, however for purposes here shall remain to the 2 named individuals. Further, there is mention of Cinderella by Blue Ruin…yet the Pedigree appears certainly to compel Tomahawk also noting, consider Cinderella is of royal blood as is Pocahontas https://www.tbheritage.com/Portraits/Cinderella.html

(if a regular TBL reader you may recall our numerous ancestral Harkaway references)

The enduring connection between these individuals is significant, as it reflects an important developing phrase to the international TB pedigree, its crossing between British and American branches to form its Elite prototype. It is noted algorithm data places Herod, (#byerleyturk) St Simon & Danzig (28x St Simon) as the broad-optimal selection for racing. Whilst statistics suggest, the dexterity to breeding goes elsewhere.

@ Seattle Slew > 4×4 Nasrullah – 5×5 War Admiral – 5×5 Reine de Course mare Baby League – War Admiral daughters Striking & Busher. as line-bred expands to **19x St Simon – 8x Fair Play (reference, as above its affinity) particularly drawing to Fair Play’s daughter Eulogy, grand-dam of sire Alsab, sire of Myrtle Charm.

• Nasrullah + Royal Charger > 3x Mumtaz Begum (f.f. 9c #haplotypeL1a)

War Admiral is still probably the most influential if only for being very important in the large-heart gene passing.

The vague secret by great breeders re-brands a popular saying “throwback,” a nucleus form. While the nature of inheritance is multi-faceted, complex. It always goes to morphing a legacy profound, subtle yet stable.
