A New Zealand $10k sire takes the dream win with 2-year-old filly Dream Roca at the Karaka Millions, New Zealand. https://www.pedigreequery.com/dream+roca (El Roca – Petrachor ex Redwood).
NZ$75k purchase, her dam’s first foal winning $1m prizemoney TAB Karaka Millions.
Whilst stars are ‘said’ to come from anywhere; the old story goes, what Type affixes stronger than its pedigree.
The filly’s profile has multiple lines to Byerley Turk blood. She has a selected depth ‘in’ Yesteryear breeding.
Fastnet Rock’s distaff Twig Moss (Luthier) – Rubiton (Century) – 5×7 Lyphard (dam side) + influences Hugh Lupus, My Babu, Abdos, Djeddah, Tourbillon 9th Gen distaff.
El Roca presented as an honest stallion: El Roca – A Rocket Man Stallion (n.b. reference older TBL post) with his female distaff also belonging to champion Australian sprinter Redzel, 2x Everest Winner and G1 winner BRC Doomben & VRC Victoria Racing Club Stakes.
Fathoming genetics has perennial questions whether by layman or sciences for what ‘nucleus’ thoroughbred and hybrid breeding encompasses.
Scoping sire speed is insufficient.
The research wants for a truer determination; speed endurance (stamina) and soundness sustained elsewhere.
– with focus & of strain(s) @ female family 23-b, by Type and pedigree, it is comprehending two speed types within & alongside to a hybrid dominance factoring with double copy mares.
– Dream Roca’s profile has Chiefs Crown (Danzig/Secretariat, distaff mare *Chris Evert, where breaking down into Chris Evert profile aligns at ‘old’ US classic speed strains.
With a probing further to the Byerley Turk blood, it shall be ‘seen’ to align remarkably well to ‘old’ USA strains – more so noted to Tourbillon & his descendants.
Note Tourbillon descendants are from direct male line @ Androcles (FR) f.f. 61 (find Wyvills Roan mare strain/origin), the family inclusive to high class racehorse and exceptional sire King Fergus, Champion Sire 1797 and sire of Young Traveller (1791 St Leger, 1792 Doncaster Cup), Beningborough (1794 St Leger and a good sire), Hambletonian (1795 St Leger and a good sire.
Hambletonian and alike aligns TB-dM
Tourbillon’s dam 2x Hanover (USA) – 13x Diomed has 12x Beningborough, for again, the truer determination stems or serves Type in pedigree.
The Tourbillon son Djebel (filly profile 6x Djebel) dam Loika by Gay Crusader, dam Gay Laura by Beppo, male line Marco by Barcaldine, is equally remarkable.
Barcaldine – (who would’ve have known)... not only the old stayer type but there deep within @ Drone (IRE) by Master Robert has 3x Cygnet mare by Cygnet from Godolphin Blossom. Godolphin Blossom progeny – her testament to its sole branch of breeding that identifies a hallmark of US race ‘speed’ matches.
– the Godolphin Blossom branch blossomed to none other than The Tetrarch (IRE) uncovered through his 3rd sire Le Sancy (FR) through Chanticleer https://www.pedigreequery.com/chanticleer, a sire & distaff to Brocklesby Betty. https://www.pedigreequery.com/grey+brocklesb – fifth earliest mare in the lineage of Family 23.
By Blossom’s influence: 3rd dam of Gimcrack (by Cripple (GA / Godolphin Blossom) one of first early turf superstars, winner of 26 of 36 starts, sire of 1) outstanding American stallion Medley, sire of a) top class Bell-Air (sire of dam of top class Sir William and grandam of great racehorse Henry) and b) Grey Diomed (sire of dam of Duroc), sire of great racehorse and outstanding sire American Eclipse
Seriously failing breeding… disappearance of the magnificent unmatched male lines yet so fortunately remaining, evolve by remaining daughters/female lineages.
Insanely, the modern-day diversity Tourbillon and respectably, Hurry-On. (Marcovil) still misunderstood or undervalued.
