With heroes and their yarns, Life is on the qui vive, there comes the man and horse“A horse has got 216 bones in his body, and they’ve all got to work,” Lonnie Briley states (credit LINK)
As so to, the qui vive mating goes much satisfying for the deceptive non-commercial sire with mare.
Coal Battle’s dam Wolfblade has Caro’s 4s x 5d x 5d, a 1971 French champion older male, sire-line of Cozzene, Siberian Express (Uncle Mo (USA), Winning Colors and With Approval and as broodmare sire Unbridleds Song.
🐴Caro (IRE) as strain, was bred with Fortino the sprinter & the stayer dam was a Varola design for breeder, Countess Margit Batthyany
5s x 5d Roberto – Roberto is the strain to 4×4 **Blue Larkspur, the commanding three year old colt considered to be a super horse. Sired by Black Servant from the very fast Blossom Time to the inbreeding of 3×4 imported Padua. A test-mating of the times…to see ‘if’ it would provide a racehorse with classic speed, as then designed by Olie Gentry.
Olin Gentry highly esteemed Blue Larkspur as one of the all time genuine greats of American racing. Sire of several champions he was considered a prepotent sire transmitting his own sound type.
“Olie Gentry – was responsible for the mating that produced Roberto, winner of the English Derby and Benson and Hedges Gold Cup, & Coronation Cup. Olie Gentry’s success due to applying commonsense and being aware of how to manipulate pedigrees and raise a classic winner” Ken McLean
The genetic fruits of another’s home-bred labour – Coal Battle colt profile distinguishes remarkably.
