APOLO DEZ (Stud São Francisco da Serra) Male / Chestnut / 2020 Grande Prêmio Paraná (G3) The star Apolo Dez, the best arena horse in Brazilian horse racing today, became the champion of the 2024 GP Paraná (G3-2000mA), held in December at the Tarumã Racecourse. With the disqualification of the then winner No Bien Ni Mal, Apolo Dez inherited the victory, earning another important point in the campaign and remaining undefeated in the current 2024/2025 season. The son of Holding Glory and Pleine Lune (Crimson Tide), bred by Ulisses Lignon Carneiro, has 13 victories, 12 of which are classic and 8 graded. The duo formed by jockey W. Xavier and trainer J. C. Sampaio was crowned with this special achievement, not forgetting the groom Sirlei and veterinarian Maria Cristina Vieira, who carry the ‘rocket’ Apolo Dez on their laps. The spectacular horse from Stud São Francisco da Serra, read Luis Antonio Ribeiro Pinto, will be back racing next March, facing the GP Professor Nova Monteiro (G3-1900mA). TECHNICAL INFORMATION: Jockey: Wilkley Xavier Trainer: Julio Cesar Sampaio Breeder: Ulisses Lignon Carneiro Owner: STUD SÃO FRANCISCO DA SERRA Date: 12/1/2024 – Sunday – 9th Race Distance: 2,000m (AM) – Tarumã Time: 2’06”94
The topic of Y Diversity derives a mute, stuck, or so-what discussion, pointedly the two male lines much common.
Whether to debate or lament Y sire lines, solutions are short. Arising up another, its ‘dormancy’ just may open new doors. Intro a Teddy male line – Damascus – Private Account (USA) – (dec.2021) Holding Glory sire of Apolo Dez (BRZ).
As also the Teddy Y male-line – Alcorano, sadly deceased 2024 (article link) https://www.pedigreequery.com/alcorano, a G1 and G3 performer for 22 starts 6 wins. However Alcorano is sire of Altetico el Curano (URU) and his racing video’s are featured below.
Behind classic breeding as went French bred Teddy has really much a tragedy of the commons development. That choice point went with fate, or the calculated fortune goes finely explained below.
Due to the outstanding ability of Teddy for ‘siring sires’ his line always played a primary role in French racing, and expanded to the United States though Bull Dog, Sir Gallahad III and Bull Lea enjoying supremacy until dethroned by the functional rehabilitation of the Phalaris-line sires.

The sale of the Marcel Boussac bred La Troienne (Teddy) proved to be a disastrous result for the French and a pot-of-gold for the US as was then purchased, approved selection by advisor Olin Gentry whom opened those doors and in came, Buckpasser and Private Account, Poker, Case Ace, Smarty Jones et al. La Troienne still continues her legacy…
the various descendants of Teddy, Rabelais or Vatellor, whom the Frenchmen know how to produce in permanent flux, have been triumphing... (https://purosanguedecorrida.blogspot.com/search?q=teddy)
Indeed Teddy! Teddy’s daughter Assignation is Secretariat’s 4th dam! It wasn’t till I sighted this photo that gave a fine appreciation where Teddy is purely classic genotype- phenotype perfection. Teddy is the picture of 1,000 words.
Whilst scientists may suggest/advise there are ‘probabilities’ by females mitochondria ‘variants’, a non-diversified breeding program goes commonplace.
What magnificence appeals to exceptional phenotype as so clearly produced by Teddy. Teddy – Family 2-n, 7x Martha Lynn + 5×3 Bend Or’s sire genetic correction to a Clemence/Martha Lynn distaff, Galopin’s sire male line (science has Delight) takes 2x Selim. There can only be one conclusion Haplotype L4 is superior!!
Tadcaster/Clementina (by Doncaster out of Clemence) which is extreme potency and typesetting and it explains his long genetic reach. (Kirsan)
@Teddy, 5 sire Generations down produced Damascus by Sword Dancer whom @ distaff in Man O Wars daughter Speed Boat, a sister to War Relic mating across My Babu broodmare sire. Whilst Blue Larkspur & Selene is evident – the mint is more perhaps to Commando (USA) assigned family A15 as himself fleshed with the greatest, Lexington. But what really Damasus blood says is also the potency of still the undermined & somehow not determined publicly, what designates A15 Haplotype.
Understandably its nerdy deep but Teddy infusions are upon his individuality to line-breed again. Apolo Dez’s sire Holding Glory has 12x Teddy and Alcorano @ Teddy 21x’s!
Apolo Dez (BRZ) has 12x Teddy.
May let the aim to restore bone integrity: make ‘choice’ vigour for the hybrid TB, create or explore at least an alternative. Breeding for the future requires still philosophy, making for the course correction in soundness and longevity. In all shapes and forms…Stamina crosses are high cruising speed.
Increased diversity shall remain at the heart of the ongoing challenges in fostering vitality. South America is pleasantly consistent. Apolo Dez highlights that Brazil’s prowess is knowing the silverware.
Altetico el Curano (Alcorano) (URU) – https://www.pedigreequery.com/atletico+el+culano Racing in Uruguay, Chile and UAE, a G1 winner Uruguay and Racing Dubai winner has @ 15x Teddy.

From the cross-combination of French, English and American strains found in his collection of broodmares, Boussac raised a new type of racehorse that would dominate the French Classics.

How wonderful that the great Ormonde still has direct male line descendants to this day! I have been trying to find his modern descendants with the idea of writing a book about Ormonde.
