A stamina quality and free action has magic and one wonders how such extraordinary ability is catalysed through breeding.

The 6 yo bay mare Pride of Jenni by Pride of Dubai from Sancerre (NZ) by O’Reilly where Pride of Jenni & Winx share Street Cry & Success Express to their pedigrees.

Pride of Jenni assigned G2, female family 9-h, from a Princequillo daughter How.

Broadly – the Princequillo/Nasrullah/Hyperion is long classic sire compelling. Princequillo bred daughters for stamina, Nasrullah’s speed, Hyperion action complementary to overall genetic phenotype. Hyperion, (+ Bosworth, Sansovino, Sir Tristram ) through @ female family 6-e has L3a1b where science places necessity to racehorse phenotype, been with the particular marker genes. The families belonging to 9-C (Mahmoud, Fair Trial, Aristophanes) reveal L1 and its Haplotype shall also include family 2-f viz, Knights Daughter 3rd dam of Tell, sire of Pompei Court, sire of the wonderful Courtza, dam of O’Reilly. Knights Daughter the dam of sire, Round Table by Princequillo as seen to Artaius, 2nd dam sire to Pride of Dubai.

Since Winx & Zenyatta’s racing days, one can always be fully accepting to great sire Street Cry and it goes also with applause to the influence of Troy. Troy was a big, powerfully built bay & Troy’s ancestress Morel also belonging to that of Princequillo female-family 1-b N2a. The Haplotype duly the Norwegian Fjord pony and what can be deduced genetically, to its tough, durability character. Indeed, that sounds like Princequillo!

A top-class staying two-year old, Troy reached his peak in the weeks leading up to the 200th Derby. With an awkward run at Tattenham Corner, Troy remarkably won by seven lengths. Troy only had 4 seasons as a stallion, dying at age 7 from a perforated intestine. He sired Helen Street and the rest (as they say) is breeding history. (ie, Street Cry & Shamardal by Giants Causeway.

Factoring in a Haplotype and family belonging to 16-a, its long genetic durability sits deep n’ true: Sir Gallahad, & Bull Dog (sired by Teddy of the male-line Orme (Angelica, daughter of St Angela, dam of St. Simon) goes from dam Plucky Leige by Spearmint by Carbine) Sir Gallahad’s/Bull Dog sire of Bull Lea forth appearance to Mr Prospector, Nijinsky, Hold your Peace, Tom Fool, Success Express.

A recapitulation: – TBL Readers might take history, the pedigree & observations to Harkaway, the Irish Eclipse & King of the Curragh as appearing in pedigrees St Angela and Papyrus, Princequillo’s b/m sire. The rarity, the phenomena Harkaway ‘ran any distance, carry any weight and distance horses‘ where enthusiasts of the day paid extraordinary sums to see, as they did believe, one of the wonders of the world. Yet the old Harkaway blood went forgotten and (weirdly) despised to & in favour The Baron (Birdcatcher) bloodline. (reference 1865 – R. Copperthwaite)

(n.b. notes on the Harkaway strain – Simonath-Papyrus female family 16-f, the Australian bred gelding CRISP carried under 12 stone and though just beaten by Red Rum in 5-strides, it was Crisp’s front-running performance at the 1973 Aintree Grand National helped to lower the course record from 9 minutes, 20.4 seconds to 9 minutes 1.90 seconds.) Crisp carried top weight of 12st 7lb and won in brilliant style by 15 lengths at a two-mile handicap chase at Wincanton. At Cheltenham, on a dead-track, he won the two-mile Champion Chaae by twenty five lengths.

It may seem two female strains alone to any pedigree might seem minor but when you see whom it influences, the thinking changes. Those influential are: –

i) Helen Street, re 4th dam sire Worden from Tara’s daughter Sans Taras.

ii) Zabeel. 4th dam sire Norseman, dam Tara

The great dam Tara where we discussed her fine presence last blog and for your interest its another G1 win (ATC Queen of the Turf) just last weekend for Zougotcha.

The undeniable fact remains that the remarkable victory of Pride of Jenni can be attributed to some extraordinaire influence few racehorses can claim.

Pedigree – Pride of Jenni
