Biomechanical at cadence & stride length is the class of the Frankel’s – an average winning distance of progeny @9.4 furlongs with a superb momentum ability to strongly finish.

Oxagon is again Eljazzi star pedigree that really just has to be turf gold. As distaff @Eljazzi (f.f. 7-a) seemingly betrothed to stallion making like Pride of Dubai (Aus) & Invincible Spirit (IRE), Pinatubo, Kodiac further hails https://thebreedingshed.wordpress.com/2020/07/12/prix-du-jockey-club-winner-mishriff-the-latest-star-from-eljazzi-family/ finds the ‘affinity’ in female family (Danzig f.f.7-a) & where upon Oxagon ped. > 3×5 Danzig integrates also Rockefella sire of Bounteous, Eljazzi’s dam and solidly builds @ Haplotype L3a1a.

Many a sire x dam – with lines follow a familiar & familial pattern.
