Individuality must have been exceedingly conspicuous in such famous stud matrons as Giantess, Beeswing, Alice Hawthorn, Martha Lynn, Pocahontas….(1901 – Book of the Horse, Charles Richardson)

Martha’s daughters…

Brant (gr/ro colt, foaled February 18, 2023) by Gun Runner – out of Tynan (by Liam’s Map) https://www.pedigreequery.com/brant7

In his two juvenile starts Brant remained unbeaten, capturing his debut then the Grade I Del Mar Futurity at 7 furlongs in 1:21 .92 on a fast track.

He is a ‘Type-set’ reflective of famous stud matron Martha Lynn. Brant’s distaff female family (f.f.2-h) where his 10th dam Doggin It (1946) has 5×6 Sandfly, dam Sandiway – Clemence – Eulogy – Martha Lynn.

A US$3mill purchase, son of Gun Runner, the sire’s immense bloodlines firing Fappiano 4×4 + 5×4 Lyphard.

Brant’s b/m sire Liam’s Map ➡️(4th sire Fappiano). Spearing @Martha Lynn is Dr Fager (Rough n’ Tumble) to 4th sire Sting (1921) duplicating 4×4 Sandiway et al. Sting’s sire Spur echoes to those foundational matrons introduced – importantly Spur’s 2nd dam by Ayrshire 4×4 Martha Lynn. Rough n’ Tumble 4×4 Spearmint by Carbine (NZ), @ Carbine’s Martha Lynn distaff.

To Fappiano – 2nd dam sire Correlation his b/m sire Roidore (GB 1922) is the male line Le Samaritain (Fr) grey, a Martha Lynn distaff through dam Clementina.

History Footnotes: Burton’s Barb Mare

Carefully examined it will be found to have had great influence on the breed of thoroughbreds. No.2 family (in general) is known as Burton’s Barb mare – fillies thought to be bred at the Royal stud at Hampton Court. https://www.tbheritage.com/HistoricDams/EngFoundationMares/Family2/Family2.html

– Brant’s genes & gray coat – The gray gene (G) is an autosomal dominant gene.[1] In simple terms, a horse which has even one copy of the gray allele, regardless of other coat color genes present, will always become gray. This also means that all gray horses must have at least one gray parent. If a gray horse is homozygous (GG), meaning that it has a gray allele from both parents, it will always produce gray offspring no matter the color genetics of the other parent. However, if a gray horse is heterozygous (Gg), meaning it inherits one copy of the recessive gene (g), that animal may produce offspring who are not gray, depending on the genetics of the other parent and Mendelian inheritance principles. Genetic testing is now possible to determine whether a horse is homozygous or heterozygous for gray.[9] The gray gene does not affect skin or eye color, so grays typically have dark skin and eyes, as opposed to the unpigmented pink skin of white horses.[1] ref, Wikipedia
