The genetic character to Westbury Stud’s sire Tarzino continues to unveil a suspicion – this instinctual nudge not to be ignored.

The TBL research has pushed at a greater prototype that unravels or comes upon dominant ones – alleles’ doing a job.

Utilizing prototype ancestral to arrive how family lines or, what shoots above the rest, has consistence more than middling.

–  late 2020 research alerted that backbone stability unfolds its genetic chain towards speed and stamina.

Evaluating pedigree compels one to realize these non-specific, rather pre-ordained and though we might consider breeding has steps 1.2.3….. it reinforced where trying too hard to exploit speed excluding everything else, is reckless.

In the positive-sense, back-up, prototype strains are highly zig-zag dangerous. Thus, immersion to ascend – Hurry On builds constitution.

The clarity comes often too late…yet, what provides PRO-GENITOR relationship has the defining & lasting genus.

The paradox – how can it be anything else?

It is the at-foot patterns, nicking between ‘at-work’. The knit of why one compels the nick, to another.

Science considers mutational changes to average’s 11-12 generation cycle – this evolutionally plants the character: the building of generational makeup.

As posted → je-ne-sais-quoi: Tarzino (NZ) TBL reckoned the sire would be a game-changer.

Tarzino has a target to his bloodlines that parallel alike. i.e. Djebel/Tourbillon. Like French breeding was – finest Derby winners astutely bred astute, designed to  professional winning alongside long-developed patience.

Patience.

His 2 year old progeny are pre-training trial phrase. This NZ racing video Tarzino-Espresso Cavallo gelding exemplifies what is in store. Additionally, sizing genotype pedigree perfecto hits the nail on the head for…Le Fabuleux (FR) keys the dams pro-genitor relationship backwards to its invisible thread falling upon Neil Gow by Marco and Beppo by Marco, Beppo is the maternal grand-sire of Gay Crusader (GB) and he the sire of Loika, the dam of Djebel. There lays the plait.

The trait, tied to its breeding clearly underpins a sport horse fit for racing adeptness.

Jon Snow – 2017 ATC Australian Derby winner

Turn Me Loose – Australian G1 winner, NZ Sprinter & Middle Distance Horse of the Year.

Xiong Feng – 2016 Karaka million winner

Wyndspelle – G1 Diamond Stakes runner up

Ribchester – europe leading 3YO colt, (update new sire at Haunui farm)

His overlord name has plume to bloodstock literature – the ‘spiritual’ of modern racehorse.

The Byerly Turk.

Without ancestry tribe – it is viewing to phenotype anatomical, this genetic breeding-bomb that ‘sets’ apart, a re-defining proto-Type. It goes to a dormant source.

There can be none more perfection heredity than thy… Sunday Silence, as designated family 3e. At 10 generations linebreeding, Sunday Silence amasses 49 x to St Simon. (more detail further below, to St Simon phenomena)

Sunday Silence, was not for US breeders; validated as of modest pedigree, to an unwanted conformation is well documented by Arthur Hancock. …the rest is history, to location Land of the Rising Sun. Sunday Silence died 2002.

Sunday Silence – credit approved by FB  founder: Thoroughbred Bloodlines, a personal & pictorial blog)

Yes,  Sunday Silence is ‘model’, the subject ideal – to an ineffable paterfamilias ascended through such label(s) – those given as then(categorized) Turk ancestry.

There ‘its’ enduring prototype integrity, with stamina, this constitution for the classic racehorse.

Defiantly, it places genus within the racehorse Thoroughbred.

“…a prevalent opinion that black horses with white feet & a white star on the forehead as a result of crossing the indigenous horses of Upper Asia with so-called Arab blood & with frequent occasion to notice similar phenomena…” (reference here)

Consider these specimen below – these 3 are NOT classed to the thoroughbred.

The above, are to demonstrate an uncanniness to characteristics of the TB. They are  Russian mountain breeds. The Kabardin received infusions of Arab, Turkmene and Karabakh blood. They are naturally Strong, of equable temperament with sure-footedness and boundless endurance; evidently, a strong individuality. Science appears to validate records here.

– It is further interesting to learn the anglo-kabarda has three types: basic, massive, oriental and to the sports horse breeding ‘use’ of the origin, caucasian strain. (§reference below)

BLANDFORD –  belongs to the Classic aptitude group, the greatest classic sire

1727 Mother England…”great events were stirring and great men and horses were on the way. There was also born in 1727, not a man, nor a woman, nor a horse, but a Book. It was the father and mother of that Book, the great and immaculate Stud Book, bred from the original ….Here was Breeding in a Nutshell, Here was the tree of knowledge from whose branches would spring the fruits of scientific betting – for some would race and breed, some then would buy and sell. Thither would come the Great Ones of the land, with their money and their horses.” (*Tattersalls)

²A General Stud Book appeared, 1791 by James Weatherby through ‘collections’ of Pedigrees, as gathered from Racing Calendars and Newspapers. 1st Volume Registry of the Stud appearing 1793, with an improved 5th edition in 1891.

It was the introductory Principle attesting bloodlines. 

Further, the establishments of the bloodline ‘table’ families began, viz –

  • The Ancestress of the English Thoroughbred by Hermann Goos, 1885
  • Frentzel’s Family Tables of English Thoroughbred Stock, 1869
  • Modern Pedigree by Antwerp and Lamplighter, New York 1895
  • Tables of Pedigrees of Thoroughbred Horses by C. Wackerow to the earliest account to 1897.
  • Breeding Racehorse by the Figure System, compiled by Bruce Lowe 1895

These appeared, built upon quota of ‘blood’, dams to their siring bloods, and not exactly squared upon winners of major race-day titles. Plus those classified alongside  those of lower number contributory as selected by Bruce Lowe’s configured arrangement.

¹ – The fallacy, long since exploded, that the foundation of the British stud rests chiefly with the Darley Arabian, the Byerly Turk, and the Godolphin Barb; ignoring the fact that it had been laid long previous to their arrival in England, through intermingling (cross-breeding) of the blood of the White and Yellow Turks, imported by Lord D’Arcy, with that of the Moroccan Barb, imported by Lord Fairfax, the Leedes Arabian, and the Lister Turk.

The Byerly Turk fables continue and vary his coat from dark mahogany brown to a black coat: and said to be believed… either stolen or captured beforehand, by the Turkish officer & again… seized by Colonel Robert Byerley. (or, Byerly)

” three young colonels competed in the race for the King James the Second Plate and, on his horse Byerley’s Turk, Colonel Byerley rode to victory for his prize of a silver bell. Just over three months later the same colonel was involved in a different style of action, fighting at the Boyne on the side of Prince William of Orange against King James” – The Lecal Review: a journal of Downe History – Lecal & Downe Historical Society.

– ‘google’ images, those paintings of the Battle of the Boyne – the scene and bravado.  (focus the depictions of these horses versus the Classique distinction by popular Byerly Turk painter John Wootton)

It seems there is much grandeur, to the family name Byerly. The age of the horse had arrived and “England, was a paradise for horses and a hell for women.” (The British Thoroughbred 1700 – 1850 Vincent Orchard.

fantasy or not – The Byerly Turk goes by another fable name – Azarax

To the English countryside, the paintings by John Wootton portray regal; the exotic Eastern Oriental sire with his Syrian groom – the elegant portraiture brush-strokes extravagance, opulence and to his becoming, the powerful influence. “allowances for the flattery (went) common in horse portraiture…”  said bloodstock writer, W.D. Osbourne

For aristocrats , the well patronized Wootton is a social media influencer and horse Illustrator. There is the powerful platform:  the Baroque horse with his handler landscaping the adoring, to an almost soulful adulation.

Its all for horse-trading.

“The Byerly Turk”

Horses from the Turkish army were much sought after as booty. During the seemingly endless years of Turkish dominance, Europeans were seldom able to acquire Arab, Syrian, or Turkestan stallions. 1683 the Ottoman Empire began to decline and more horses fall into the hands of the Imperial troops.¹²

The black horse was said to have covered few mares.

Among his products were the excellent runners Sprite (no classification to dam nor, progeny records) & Basto. The moderate racehorse but useful sire Jigg and Black Hearty whose daughter Bonny Black (1715) had reputation of being the best racemare of the first half of the century.

Basto, born 1702, by Byerly Turk and the Bay Peg, ran and won 5 times 1708 and 1709 at Newmarket, over 4 miles. Died 1723.

1719 – Bonny Black, foundation mare of the Family 39, won the Gold Cup at Hambleton as a four year old under 10 stone, at the weight for five year olds, over 4 miles, in a field of 31 starters. Bonny Black had already won a match as a three year old at Newmarket. Her sire is Black Hearty by the Byerly Turk from the Lord Howe Persian mare.

Because of adverse and to a discrediting response to the Bruce Lowe Figure System; It judged to the misaligned values of the mostly unknown female origin strains. It veils, to mis-interpret the greater breeding inter-relatedness. The Figure System has its expressions by 1 alone, tap-root merit.

It went interpreted as nonsense.

“it is sheer nonsense and not worth a moment’s consideration” J. Osbourne

“I had some thought of criticizing this figure system theory, but, never seriously taken up by breeders, it is already a dead letter, succumbing through sheer inanition” – Charles Richardson – “The English Turf”

(n.b.) it is noted the Prussian stud (phenotype photos) to Goos & Frentzels attributed;  apply more leanings towards dominance, pre-potency collectively, hence the paraphrase, the quota of blood)

To further engage the Byerly Turk prototype as a Type to the breed… is to follow  a quota of his blood, indicated through these below.

The immortal sire & broodmare sire of the founding family 3m. Whalebone – 19 x’s via Jigg, Basto, mares family 1 and 3, or family 27?

img_20201123_084454302490193.jpg

Whalebone, winner of the Newmarket Stakes & the Derby on his first 2 appearances later became a formidable campaigner in four mile events with weights up to 12 stone. He stood no higher than 15 hands & 1/2. The Petworth groom states: the lowest & longest & most double-jointed horse, with the best legs and worst feet that I have ever seen. Small, insignificant he becomes an enormous influence. ⇒ Sire of Camel, Sir Hercules and Defence. Defence, the ancestral distaff to TBL blog: Winx came from Herod

Sir Peter Teazle – deep body, powerful shoulders & quarters, a short neck and a large head. His coat, dark brown to a prominent white star to his forehead. His stock mostly the richness of brown. Great constitution and they required very strong work. Full sister to Brown Bess dam line to Sister One True Blue, family 3.

Family 41 – as the Byerly Turk mare features the Great steeplechaser, Arkle (IRE) with plus, magnificent contributions to St Simon, via his dam St Angela by King Tom by Harkaway by Economist from his dam, Fanny Dawson.

Arkle – perfect conformation, the noblest steeple chaser of all time. (video reference below)

img_20200327_102403_1-0117842368.jpeg

Harkaway is the maternal, grand-sire of St Simon.

Harkaway – Beaten in his 1st start as a two year old, then a 2nd place at Curragh, the following November he showed the great staying powers he possessed, and which so often subsequently astonished the racing world by winning over the 2 year olds, 3 year olds, and 5 year olds in a canter.  In 1838 Harkaway after winning several at the Curragh crossed the Channel and ran second. At Goodwood, Harkaway wins in a canter and is victor there again. He ran in 38 races and no fewer than 25 of which he won. He bred a great number of winners but was not well patronized however notably, the sire of King Tom from his dam Pocahontas. 

Harkaway: In the shoulders he was deep and powerful, the shoulder-blade being very broad and full of muscle. There was little or no difference in the height of his withers and the highest point of his rump. His ribs were strong, but short aft, while he had a flat loin though the hips were strong and backbone large. He was a good weight carrier. He stood 16 hands, 2 inches.

– King Tom the 7th produce of Pocahontas, a bay horse with black points, was the very beau ideal of the English thoroughbred horse and only failed through illness being enrolled among classic winners. He had numerous and distinguished progeny but it was American breeders who escalated his prototype via Phaeton (King Tom) (review his prototype to grand-son Foxhall (USA) here) – Foxhall, an outstanding colt in Europe and winner of the Grand de Prix Paris.

The Harkaway pedigree…to his maternal sire Nabocklish has 5Dx5d a sire named Bagot (GB) by Herod. His dam Marotte and distaff, family 41, a Byerly Turk mare.

It appears the family 41 distaff died out, though hopefully not…

The legacy of ‘a’ St Simon is definitely still here, as is ‘a’ Whalebone – If you want to know the future, look at the past. (quote)

Contemporary example provided  More than Ready such a distinguishing profile, pointedly via, through inheritance Naskra to 27 x’s to St Simon.

– TBL opinion the Byerly Turk was never thoroughbred but as referred, another.

“The race was run in 7 min, 20seconds, carrying 8 stone 7lb. Mr Fenwick offered to run Matchem against any horse in the world” 

” The Godolphin Arabian and **Roxana union produced two good horses, Lath and Cade and Cade continued the male line which has been represented by Hurry On, Precipitation to have exerted a potent influence in New Zealand in the 20th century.” P. Willets 1981.

Good genetics are cryptic.

Some years back, I read about Nobel Prize in Physiology & Medicine recipient; the cytogeneticist Barbara McClintock. Her great research and ground-breaking work to transposing genes – the jumping gene. It is where the genome can translocate its position in the DNA, for repair and save type behavior.

The ‘jumping gene’ knits survival, enduring ‘existence’ for the specie itself.

The genetic material is mobile, inter-changeable – 2 types can copy and paste or cut and paste. It can insert or delete to its main principle as ecologically adaptive.

To all forms of life, (mammalian) the exploratory field has no bounds.

I am not aware of any examination to the thoroughbred, but McClintock’s science such intrigued: I postulated ‘trait’ may re-emerge from distance and have ‘unforeseen’ character to the pedigree.

Incredible detail from old bloodstock literature drives deep consideration; constitutional innate elements have presence, vitality... endurance & ‘resistance’ where horses ran all day, records past 35 starts or so, a capability to run at any distance.

Certainly no such thing now and we wonder, why not the ability?

Theories of distance and aptitude ‘correct’ for progeny: DNA genetics to provide appropriate sire selection is the business. But is it right?

Goodbye they say….where heritage progenitors, to stud records are incorrect. Such corrections have changed an entire landscape but let’s agree, pedigree still has vital clues and account of what is capably working.

Though we might be dis-satisfied to modern day breeding, racing to ‘soft’ distances,  improving still (?) preciousness speed over stamina, without furthering programs to make-em tough development, what remains is genetic material cannot be be lost but only understood much further that one could expect.

Our earliest heritage TB breeding books, the authors and breeders, didn’t know of a transposing, jumping ‘gene’ but went ‘learned’ and practiced in animal husbandry.

“a recognized axiom with both physiologists and practical breeders of all kinds of stock, that the value of any family is mainly in proportion to the purity of its origin” Breeding Racehorses by the Figure System by Bruce Lowe.

“The home-bred English horse, so much praised by Caesar, and after him by many other writers on this subject, on account of its staying powers and speed, contributed very largely to the building up of the English Thoroughbred. These native-bred horses in England and Ireland had the character of the wild horses of the Steppes, and are mentioned as living in the the forests as late as the seventeenth century, with the remark that they were better and more capable than any other breed in Europe reference Sportsman Dictionary 1778”. Horse Breeding in Theory and Practice . B Von Oettingen 1909

“eleven unknown Sources (including Old Montagu), six from Royal Mares, two each from Darley Arabian, the Godolphin Barb, Hutton’s Bay Barb, the Lister Turk, the old Morocco mare and one each from the Akaster Turk, the Byerley Turk, Bustler mare, a Brimmer mare and a Barb mare. The Horse-Breeders Handbook – Joseph Osborne 1898. 

As many as 102 Eastern stallions were used to the building of the Thoroughbred and besides these many other Eastern stallions imported and used by breeders in England and Ireland though their results reportedly, of meagre influence. From 1635 starting with Lord Fairfax’s Morocco Barb to listed 36 stallions at ending 1730 the, Godolphin Arabian where these (above) are noted to have a stronger conspicuous part to breeding of Thoroughbreds. (end)

The above early first-hand narratives are to show the rise n’ fall: disappearances of numerous lineages. What remains is still inheritable. More to the point speed, needs resilience not more absolute ‘speed’ traits.

Science updates domestic horse breeding – to its inbreeding, sighting lack of diversity as its been around long as 200 years. Bloodstock Historians shall point – the evolutionary/ecological phrase.. horses always were, without any caution, a domestic type, commonly incest bred.

In-breeding is to re-introduce desirable traits. The ‘scoring’ and phenotype results are to be keenly observed, critiqued from every possible angle, a check-list through to all stages of development, through and through.  This the inborn genetic pattern over generation and generations. It is a cycle and a long one, cycle within cycles. 

“the Old Moroccan mare first bred her son Spanker and that Spanker incestuously bred Betty Leeds’s grandmother from his own mother, the Old Moroccan mare.” Early Records of the Thoroughbred Horse C.N. Prior – Betty Leedes, the foundation family 6 from Old Bald Peg, **Roxana, dam of Cade, sire of Matchem.

The due diligence remains and it is to still follow potent genetic influences available.

Firstly however, reflect Lady Wentworth – Thoroughbred Racing Stock: where she calculated these astounding pedigree strains to Bahram (Blandford).

  • Unknown Arabian – appears 222,281 times
  • Darcy’s chestnut Arabian – appears 179, 105 times
  • Darcy’s white Arabian – appears 123,037 times
  • Leeds Arabian – appears 112.667 times
  • Helmsley Turk – appears 66,893 times
  • The Byerley Turk – appears 64,032 times
  • The Darley Arabian – appears 44,079 times
  • Lister Turk – appears 40,305 times
  • The Godolphin Barb – appears 28,232 times

(sidenote: I have no idea how these went calculated but it is appreciated early pedigree ‘wheels’ do account & specific detail has Source of Origin to dam and Greater progenitor.)

To further convey importance of contribution: strain or trait, the terrain of genotype is detail, detail & more detail. The example is – “Mr Joseph Osbourne contends that the merit of Eclipse was quite as much (if not considerably more) due to the five strains of the Lister Turk, than to the single strain of the Darley Arabian” 1909

Osbourne further states: “Therefore, when you see a figure in a pedigree it is indefinite. It may mean entirely different blood in different pedigree, and you search further to have an intelligent knowledge of the bloodlines of the animal” – The Horse Breeders Handbook, Joseph Osbourne

The magic appears and it is the Matchem male-line descendancy to Hurry On and sons thereof….to provide rich potent source, constitutional, quality and robust as ‘renewable and sustainable’ balance to breeding.

where/how/why…this wider Intelligence, the bloodlines of the animal.

Hurry On, his grand-sire MARCO as seen below (1892 – Baraldine – Novitiate, by Hermit)

Marco – the leading three year old of 1895

Marco did not take part in Classics but had the reputation of being the best three year old of 1895 due to his impressive victory the Cambridgeshire Stakes The handicapper penalized heavy his success & thereafter Marco is able to win only twice more over the two seasons. Not expected to excel at stud he sires four quality stallions where two are top class runners.

His daughter, the elite and founding mare of the 1-W family, Marchetta. An influential blue-hen she produced of 13 foals, nine winners one of these, the élite and multiple black-type producer mare Sweet Lavender. Her French-bred daughter Lavendula the grand-dam to Turn-To (IRE) by Royal Charger, sire of Hail to Reason and Sir Gaylord.

–  *Neil Gow by Marco 1909 National Breeders Produce Stakes, Champagne Stakes, Imperial Produce Stakes, 1910 Two Thousand Guineas and a dead heat for the Eclipse Stakes. Won £25,771.

Our research heads to Zabeel’s male-line descendant, the young Australian sire – Bellevue Hill (Pierro – Bellevue Girl by the Danehill son Exceed and Excel.

– as a 2 year old colt, 2 electrifying wins from 4 starts, he early retired to a stallion career….“that run last week probably took the speed out of the legs, but he’s certainly a horse for the future” Tim Clark (jockey)

History & Breeding has showed Quality sires are not always forever, superior on-top racehorse. Their duty to breed, sits ‘highest’ to invigoration, this vehicle to male succession.

Our particular interest arose to Bellevue Hill (AUS) due to his female family distaff the, f.f. 2h – the distaff traces to Martha’s daughters… the Martha Lynn line.

The distinguished female distaff really fires up via, Bellevue’s Girls 9th dam sire Great Star.

Observe these great nucleus strains ⇓ ‘formative’ ⇓ to what gets pedigree ‘going’ potent.

    – Great Star (Sunstar by Sundridge ex- Miss Matty (Marcovil) was a half-brother to Papyrus (Tracery by male-line, Rock Sand by Sainfoin) the English Derby Winner. Notably, Papyrus is the broodmare sire of…Princequillo  and this is where the pedigree rotates to Princequillo ⇔ **Miss Matty (Marcovil)

(interest factor: Papyrus is also the broodmare sire to sprinting brilliance, sire of influence, Honeyway (GB).

Miss Matty (Marcovil) features in Leicester’s Bloodstock Breeding – the chapter Famous Mares of Humble Origins.

As indicated above, she the dam of Papryrus she also produced 8 winners.

* Bold Archer (Phalaris – Miss Matty)

* Paddington (n.b. Leicester describes the individual as ‘hardy’ , winner of 11 races, but no pedigreequery.com records come available)

* Great Star (sent to Australia, per subject ↓ below)

* Miss Matilda (winner)

* Comus (sent to stand in Australia)

* a 1/2 sister and winner, named Bracket and the dam of Parenthesis, also later sent to Australia. Also produced Flamboyant a winner of the Doncaster and Goodwood Cups, placed second in the Ascot Gold Cup.

  – sire, Great Star also expresses 2 strains to the Martha Lynn via Sundridge’s grand-dam, Sanda to the sire Wenlock, by Lord Clifden & also of his sire – Sunstar where his grand-dam sire is Petrarch by Lord Clifden. Lord Clifden by Newminster from The Slave, her dam Volley (Voltaire) being ancestral dam to Bellevue Hill’s dam, Bellevue Girl.

These blue-print(s) above, are fundamental to the formative pattern going ahead. Formative ‘speedster’ trait → Sundridge (Amphion) ex-Sierra (Springfield) grand-dam Sanda, great grand-dam Sandal ….( always remember the Sundridge factor,  serves over: 2x’s to Royal Charger, via his dam Sun Princess & alike, his 3/4 genetic brother Nasrullah.

–  as are sire Sainfoin, and Sierra are brother and sister family (Springfield – Sanda) (a prototype example → Count Fleet

– Marcovil’s great stallion son Hurry On from his dam ⇒ the broodmare sire SAINFOIN. The genotype connections shall follow to our subject ….

     …Bellevue Hill – 5sx5d Sir Tristram. Sir Tristram  inbred through 4×3  Princequillo ⇔ hence, formative ‘hotspot cluster mare’ **Miss Matty** (Marcovil) /Rock Sand→Sainfoin

– Pierro grand-dam Sky Song (IRE) → Shirley Heights/*Mill Reef → Princequillo

– BM sire – Exceed & Excel, grand-dam sire Lomond → Round Table (Princequillo)

¹Hurry On was an inbred horse, his sire and his dam both being out of Hermit mares

The 1970 chapters to New Zealand breeding…. from male descendants to Hurry On (Marcovil) gave profound impact, stamina racing capability.

Here is an endearing, sobering and insightful true account.

ℜ – The ‘expert’s began to question the wisdom if not at times the thinking ability of the Malcom Brothers. The Malcolms had bought themselves a brown PRECIPITATION (Hurry On) horse out of a bay mare. The expert went to great heights to point out out that no horse belonging to this straight male chestnut line could possibly be any good unless he was a chestnut. J. Malcolm weathered the storms of protest. So strong was the pressure that in his own words it took eight years to get *SUMMERTIME launched.  It was as well for the bloodstock industry of N.Z. that the Malcolm brothers were not tarred with the same brush of impatience. SUMMERTIME  and FOXBRIDGE were the two greatest bloodstock acquisition ever to add unit value to the stud books of New Zealand. credit – The New Zealand Racehorse 1972 publications.

 

Summertime endowed his stock with class, verve, acceleration and adaptability to almost any racing conditions and was also a magnificent sire of broodmares²

the power…Summertime (Precipitation – Great Truth, by Bahram)

… powerful, ancestral individuals come unchallenged: their notation is unexhaustive ‘causal’ and act forcibly, like genetic markers.

→ to view video of potential sire, Bellevue Hill ⇒ (link) view here.

These unexamined Martha’s and Miss Matty’s sources get consigned to oblivion, lost through history – yet it is uncovering this defining pattern so seductively mirrored to Savabeel’s (Zabeel) 3 wins, 3 starts, sensation colt. The New Zealand branded colt, like the All Black ruby player Richie Mo’unga – goes by the racing name of Mo’unga.

– Mo’unga (Savabeel – Chandelier by O’Reilly) His 5th dam distaff, Seraphic by Summertime. The Princequillo factor run through male line, via, Hold Your Peace + O’Reilly, via 5×5 Princequillo + Centaine via Vain → Court Martial ⇒ Hurry On / Lady Josephine by Sundridge.
