Straight from the horses mouth, this fantastic blog (cited below) was introduced to this writer. It further compiles Argentine history and shall inspire the reader.
The blog enters another world: the extraordinary grandfather brutes of undying quality, their remarkable photos, inclusive of rare original Congreve, Aristophanes, & Horacio Luro trainer of Northern Dancer.
Gilberto’s family interests, thoroughbred breeding and racing, are celebrated through Brazil’s 3 year old colt Roxoterra (Gol Tricolor (BRZ) from French bred mare Artemia, ex-Kalanisi (IRE) a Mill Reef descendant)
Roxoterra’s latest win
We could not help but notice Roxoterra’s distaff.
Two distinctives appear: Bahram and Worden, the Jean Gow daughter of Neil Gow by Barcaldine. They hit big where significance of Jean and dad, Neil Gow genotype studied through Australian colt Home Affairs (AUS) goes distinctive.
Coming up next topic/post covers Knicks Go (USA), Breeders Cup classic winner @pheno/genotype similarities.
“Home Affairs hasmade a mess of them” – Matt Hill‘s race call (2021 Coolmore Stud Stakes)
I Am Invincible (AUS) 3yo colt Home Affairs (AUS) – distinctive racing type true – this horse undoubtedly means business.
A 2020 Inglis Easter yearling purchase at $875 k (Coolmore) one strong specimen clearly depicts a Group 1 future: & earlier as foal photo
This is a genotype to apex quality beyond. ‘Hot-lines’ aka Danzig 4sx4D, Sir Ivor 5sx5d, *Franfreluche 5dx5d, 5x’s Northern Dancer are your store-front pedigree. By introspective work ( 😉wink for experts) – there stirs deep prototype.
Prototype – genetic throw-back resurrected. They are obscure, compact with essential, critical point of difference. Rather than individuals ended, the blood receded and waited…
From the ancestral ‘3’, a racing type evolved. The ultimate thoroughbred headed by…
Matchem a Godolphin Arabian descendant. His bloodline
Piecing together, lets uncover pointers how geno/pheno-Type fits Ultimate racing machine.
Deeper the better…get Type scrutinized to detail. Find specific individuals their omnipotent traits exclusive. They are not apparent to a conventional/algorithm model. Case in point 👇👇👇
*Fanfreluche – ancestral, distaff prototype strains noting Barcaldine, with cross to Carbine + Ayrshire via grand-sire Lord Clifden+ Teddyrememberingmistaken identity to grand b/m sire Bend Or(n.b. stud book still remains unchanged) additionally Voltigeur et al are very close genetic relationships thru Clemence & of Martha Lynn family.

Barcaldine –
He, the European ‘Y’ West Australian (Godolphin Arabian) where as Relic/War Relic/Man o’ War is the US branch.
Fanfreluche (CAN) was the cornerstone of Canada’s breeding industry & allocated her place to the Canadian Hall of Fame. Her accounts provided here.
Her blood flows to Australia…Fanfreleuch the distaff to Encosta de Lago (AUS) and subject, Home Affairs (AUS) via, b/m sire Flying Spur (AUS). Noting… Home Affairs 1/2 brother Aysar (Deep Field) has the Encosta de Lago sire/male line.
CRITERIA TO LOOK FOR i) critical-mass concentration prototype ‘across’ ii) gauge key Individual(s) towardsxx carriers iii) endorse where each parental distaff has similar individuals. Discern carefully a point of convergence per female lineage inheritance.

Neil Gow – a Barcaldine grandson, from Chelandry found through Chateau Bouscout (FR)
Neil Gow’s name never appeared as champion maternal grandsire but the great influence exercised by his comparatively few daughters shows that they were of exceptional merit. (Bloodstock Breeding, Sir Charles Leicester)
The importance is to familiarize all individuals coming down from the main ‘bone’ prototype. Small details are relevant. Source individuals like Barcaldine & son Neil Gow. Focus the main man, ‘Matchem’, down through to modern day descendants of Hurry On et al
Further @ Pedigree Query their female family summary ‘totals’ (placed at the bottom of the chart) are ‘useful’ to examine what main strains/traits, are defining main ‘distaff contributors’ ie Franfreluche f.f. 4g @ 9 dosage @ 5 generations.
Barcaldine never knew defeat on the racecourse, and on retiring to stud got several Classic winners. He succeeded in carrying on the Matchem line to its representation by Precipitation (1933), Chamossaire (1942), (Airborne 1943), Niccolo Dell’Arca etc. (Bloodstock Breeding, Sir Charles Leicester)
In her own right, the remarkable star of the modern turf – her 4 L. win takes out the 2021 Melbourne Cup.
These are great racing days to remember. It was sooooo good, so genuine, so very courageous n’ bold: princess to Queen (1400m – 3200m)

Of fate n’ destiny, the sire Zed, a son of Zabeel is but a story rich of NZ’s farm culture.
Zed – purchased for $400k as yearling took a damaging kick when loading onwards to Australia and his career was to remain in New Zealand under the hands of Murray Baker, whom also had trained Zed’s dam Emerald Dream.
Zed (under Baker) had 4 starts for 1 win and went duly retired with a ligament strain.
As new sire @ Little Avondale Stud for fee of $500 2 exciting gallopers broke rank – Survived and Usainity, a G3, 3yo winner at Randwick. Zed unfortunately was also a producer of late-maturing progeny and there was the problem.
He left Little Avondale for stallion duty onwards to a South Canterbury farm, Erewhon Station, there to be bred with Clydesdales, & draft horses yet he further maintained his impact as ‘breeder’. (See photo here. )
It was Stud-master Mark Corcorcan of Grangewilliam Stud (Wanganui) whom saw onwards potential, versatility and Zed’s siring ability was to prove him right.

Argentina Breeding & Racing has extensive history and its steady development & growth became world recognised. The first volume of the Argentine stud book was published 1893.
Ormonde, Diamond Jubilee and Bahram. Derby winner Blue Peter’s full brother Full Sail; the brilliant quality – Cyllene, Rustom Pasha, Gulf Stream, Advocate, Aristophane, Tracery, Copyright, The Yurarja, are famous stallion names with stud careers there.
The criteria of stallions to be middle distance performers, or have a middle distance pedigree – as governed by Argentine Pattern of Racing, and this took base to the European model.
It was @ Gran Premio Carlos Pellegrini – the Triple Crown equivalent when in 1966 came a neat medium-sized chestnut horse by Aristophanes with physicality of his grandsire, Hyperion. Forli was acclaimed one of the greatest performers ever bred in Argentina – a brilliant and relentless galloper who was a front-runner. After his Triple Crown performances Forli was sold to US, a syndication headed by Bull Hancock of Claiborne and there became a leading stallion of the 1970’s.
The bloodlines that worked to Argentina & of Argentine bloodstock should not be miscalculated. The ‘rich’ environment factors, astute articulate breeding to strictest performance criteria. Yet it did fall apart. Economic and social unrests, added by government interference, the Argentine breeding depleted and there by, dispersed to US interests.
Petare – a sprinter of high-class for his 35 wins of 94 starts & later, exported to USA producing son Sadair a very fast 2 year old. Sadair produced Pampered Miss, bred by Nelson Bunker Hunt and did her racing in France. One of her progeny came to Waikato Stud in New Zealand. Notably, Petare is also same, female family – acclaim, George Washington (BRZ)
Another to Sadair’s progeny Torrejon (VEN) a multiple G1 performer in Venezuela.
The French bred and 1976 St Leger, Coronation Cup winner Crow (Exbury) from the Argentina mare Carmosina (hers also Forli’s dam line) later exported to the US.
Typical breeding went through the most powerful bloodlines of the ‘day’. They were Seductor, Sideral, Tourbillon through Timor, Pronto & Utopico and Hyperion through Aristophanes.
Secretariat’s rival commemorate the great ‘Sham’ by Pretense by Endeavour (ARG), son of British Empire & genetics spun classic success immortal
*Endeavour also produced US champion 2 yo colt Porterhouse, US handicap champion Prove It, Oaks winner mare Big Effort, Champion Handicap Male & 12 year North American track record holder Pretense sire of the wonderful mare Fall AspenFall Aspen, producer of TimberCountry (USA) + Fort Wood (USA)sent to Sth Africa and sire of 10 G1 winners, amongst these Triple Crown winner Horse Chestnut . Fall Aspen daughter Colorado Dancer (dam of Dubai Millennium (GB) sire of Dubawi (IRE))+ Bianconi (champion 3yo sprinter in Ireland –sent to Australia)
Argentina champion miler Lord At War (ARG) broodmare sire of WAR EMBLEM, PIONEER OF THE NILE, MASTER COMMAND, PURIM, E DUBAI, RAVEN’S PASS, VRONSKY.
Internationally raced, G1,2,3 winner by b/m sire Lord At War – the mare Icon Project (USA) – a breeder with Europe’s finest stallions Frankel & Dubawi
(n.b. to Australasian breeders, the Lord At War (ARG) blood carries through Coolmore Stud stallion, Circus Maximus (Galileo), standing at Windsor Park Stud (New Zealand) for stud fee $20k)
Global markets breathe bench-mark, commercial & shuttled stallions. What assorts difference is of course those dam lines. If, too many similarities and what goes ahead (if not already) surrounds the critical depression curve and by another’s good thoughts “smothering the breed with a mudslide of uniformity” thereof, future generations undifferentiated.
To make the steps, adjust, it demands extraordinary drive, willingness to experiment of type, what chisels breeding innovative. The well-worn principle ‘Selective outcrossing between the best bloodlines evolved in widely contrasting environments offers an opportunity for exploiting…heredity by establishing new and possibly favourable gene combinations.’
Utilizing the former discipline to breeding, these established bloodlines – TB vigour, its properly dynamic advantageous.
HERE below, are a number of pedigrees to screen.
– pedigree Hush Girl (ARG) noting her sire line to Damascus, the Teddy descendant noticing to the numerous & international infusion(s).
here come, international bloodlines, ‘type untouchable’ – 3yo filly Going Global (IRE).
Going Global – a multiple G3 & G1 winner Del Mar Oaks (US) – 10 starts for 6 wins racing in Ireland and U.S.
In-breeding is not the case here. An outcross pedigree, classic quality detail is evident for any to reflect correct disciplines of pedigree & breeding analysis.
Her sire Mehmas (IRE) the leading first crop sire in Europe from Wrood (US) a mare by broodmare sire Invasor (ARG) by Candy Stripes, his dam lines are Argentine bloodlines supreme. (take note: forthcoming a hefty topic ….. Argentine and Brazil bloodlines, their branches stem from greatest inheritances ever, so stay tuned!)
I view inbreeding or even linebreeding is not always sum total breeding; modern lines ‘guess-work’. However to observe increasingly, the wider opening of true international cross, the vital higher hybrid is indispensable. I’m gonna say … employing from much wider international branches from era’s ‘inexhaustible’ elite, truest genetic material is essential.
Jump through the multiple lines and size dominant potent factor(s) contribution, what sharpen to upgrade pedigree and particularly to dam’s predecessors the classic building influences.
Anywhere, anytime….I’ve long been the biggest fan of Kris (Sharpen Up) (3rd dam sire). Kris the unbeaten 2yo 2-time Champion European Miler: 1979, 1980. Strip back and find the melding, bountiful genes what echo respectfully any better? A breeder cannot deny those throw-backs akin, Papyrus 6dx6d or Blandford 6dx6Dx8D, Hurry On 7sx7D and inheritance to the modern era stallions to his ie I am Invincible (AUS)(AUS), Kingman (GB), Territories (IRE) & Charm Spirit (IRE), Wrote (IRE) down under (N.Z) equal
– yet the genetic proto-type sits further deep, the invincible, invisible non-classified trait. This our TBL discovery to female family 5i . Hoist the Flag 6sx7D (Machiavellian & Invasor (ARG) + Kris/Sharpen Up trait female family 5i. I believe it is their cross co-contribution which sources the success to this filly’s outcrossing; to satisfy not only speed, but tempo and gait superior efficiency. It is generic combo- concentration instead of solely applying inbreeding 2x Kris as has been to siblings from dam Wrood. notice & review, Mitbaahy (Profitable) & Finans Bay (Kodiac)
It is an exciting pedigree and joy to understand key classic contributors that keep on marching from distance. They are as below….
It’s often critiqued their order, classical blood, are just too far back for influence. Really? It is a scientific view, mutation are averaged to 11.6 generations, then also are the markers to haplotype.
Haplotype mapping may be setting the way to re-working sire and dam compatibility yet noticing relevant sweet spots of dam lines to each parent distaff displays a powerful dynamic beyond itself. Such is the case Sir Gaylord (Mehmas distaff) the daughter Gay France & dam Wrood 5th dam Habitee (Habitat/Sir Gaylord). There are 5 Sir Gaylord strains collective, additionally Sir Ivor, (Green Desert, Shareef Dancer), Society Column (n.b. Invasor distaff)
