WATCH the video → the Frankel fire @ Vinery Stakes 2021 winner (2000m) 2017 ch.filly  Hungry Heart (AUS) 

& winner of Phar Lap Stakes 3yo (G2) & Sweet Embrace Stakes 2yo (G2) 

Hungry Heart Horse Pedigree (pedigreequery.com) female family 9c distaff to Mumtaz Begum (FR) & her daughter, a 1/2 sister to Nasrullah

Our last article advanced blue-hens – concealed and forgotten. And amongst those individuals is Marchetta (GB) 1907, of the female family 1-W

Owned and bred by Lord Derby, Marchetta sired by Marco & of ancestry, the West Australian line. Her sublime ancestral breeding has 3×3 Hermit.

– Marco (Barcaldine) sire of Beppo (a leading sire), Neil Gow, sire of Jean Gow, Omar Khayam first import to win Kentucky Derby, Marcovil sire of Hurry On, Sir Marco & Springlawn sent to South Africa 1911.

Marchetta bred 13 foals of which 9 were winners. Amongst those progeny – Sweet Lavender to her daughters, Kalmia & Lavendula and referenced below, the daughter Rose Red (GB)

It’s not fully fathomable how powerful these together, largely impact the superior racing thoroughbred. Since, of course, the famously Blue-hen daughters Source Sucree produced Turn-To & Perfume produced My Babu.

–  in dark quarters.. Rose Red (GB) from, Marchetta female distaff to Bustino (GB) – grand-dam sire of Pivotal and he, the broodmare sire of Hungry Heart. Further note here… Hungry Heart’s 5th dam distaff by sire, Hail to Reason/Turn-To/ Marchetta

– the Marchetta daughter Rose Red (GB) also appears to sire of sires, Galileo via, dam **Urban Sea/Allegretta/Anatevka through Anatevka’s grand-sire Acropolis (GB).

**Rose Red has 3x’s to Hermit.

Acropolis was a Champion 3yo colt in England and his dam Aurora, the grand-daughter of Marchetta also produced full brother Alycidon (GB) and half-brother Borealis (GB)

*

TBL never covered an article to Frankel. He however (to my estimation) is strongly influenced by Blandford  – note, his dam Kind has 5th dam Nasira by Persian Gulf/Bahram/Blandford. 

Frankel pedigree

– Stage Door Johnny, 2nd dam by Caldarium (FR) → Brantome/Blandford

– Rainbow Quest (USA) , 4th dam by His Grace (GB) by Blandford

– Blushing Groom (FR) – 3rd dam by Umidwar by Blandford

– Blushing Groom – broodmare sire Wild Risk (FR) from Wild Violet by Blandford

– Nasrullah – from Mumtaz Begum by Blenheim by Blandford

– Espresso (GB) – his dam Babylon by Bahram by Blandford ++ Acropolis,                                                                                         Donnatello / Blenheim / Blandford

Hungry Heart’s female distaff (as noted) the female family 9c Mumtaz Begum by Blenheim by Blandford. Her daughter is Bibibeg (IRE) by Bahram by Blandford.

This supreme approach heads back on dominant DNA  clusters & has one of the most critical-mass purposed, to superior thoroughbred and racehorse breeding.

*

Of Frankel progeny: compare Cracksman (broodmare sire Pivotal) – female family 9c distaff Mumtaz Begum by Blenheim by Blandford.

– *Lorenzaccio (GB) by Klairon from Marchetta’s distaff – Lorenzaccio’s 2nd dam by Big Game by Bahram by Blandford

Without Parole (GB) (Frankel – Without You by Lemon Drop Kid) Lemon Drop Kid female family 3-l the Gay Missile/Missy Baba distaff as clustered on Marchetta f.f.1W via Turn-To & My Babu.

Anapurna (Frankel – Dash to the Top) 2nd dam sire Nashwan → 3rd dam sire Borealis (GB) + Bustino 2x Rose Red/ Marchetta    ++ Blushing Groom (Fr) per Blandford as above

Call the Wind (GB) (Frankel – In Clover by Inchinor ) Inchinor/Anhonorra/*Lorenzaccio. In Clover , 3rd dam Bellarida inbred 3×3 Le Fabuleux (Fr) by Wild risk from Wild Violet by Blandford

Logician (GB) – (Frankel – Scuffle) 3rd dam sire Nashwan by Blushing Groom (Blandford) + b/m sire Bustino (Rose Red/Marchetta). Scuffles 5th dam sire, Sir Ivor/Sir Gaylord/Turn-To ie Marchetta.

Dream Castle (GB) – (Frankel – Sand Vixen by Dubawi) 3rd dam sire, Free State (IRE) 3x Blandford by a sire of Rose Red/Marchetta distaff → Hotfoot Hotfoot Horse Pedigree (pedigreequery.com)

*

THE PATTERN … Enable (Nathaniel – Concentric) the very discreet Rose Red (GB)/Marchetta as infused in her 3rd dam by Ile de Bourbon (Nijinsky) via, the grand-dam sire Fastnet Rock (FR) dam distaff f.f. 1-W ⇔ Rosetta/Rose Red/Marchetta.

– Meet Rose Red again, via Galileo (prior discussed above ) → **Urban Sea/Allegretta/Anatevka . Enable 3×2 Sadlers Wells – but also remember the female family 5h back to Rough Shod is sired by Blandford.

here’s a toast to …Rose Red (GB)

The Thoroughbred Link thanks regular readers from Australia, United States, Turkey and European locations and New Zealand.

Superior genetic quality still finds horse breeding is where the maternal strength must be thoroughly understood; to not weaken the thoroughbreds diversity.

“identifying genetic connections within pedigrees helps to understand why some lines are perpetuated while others disappear” Ken McLean

Many ‘latent’ bloodlines (less ‘modern’ recognized) come developed from names to Sundridge, Tracery, Sainfoin, Jean Gow, Miss Matty, Loika. (there are more…)

Unique names Marchetta, Miss Matty, are not paradoxically by greater line-bred dosages but are present by a stronger compass, even though assumed of ‘past’ select minority.

Their inheritance extraordinary transmitting integrity, sex-character potency.

–  greatness alike unfolds thru its own: Feola (f.f. 2f) 1933 – Somethingroyal (f.f.2s) – Mata Hari (f.f.2o) – Cinna (f.f.3e) – Double Life (f.f. 2i) – Lavendula II (f.f.1w) – La Troienne (f.f. 1s) – Plucky Liege (f.f.16a) – How (f.f.9h) – Frizette (13c) et al are renowned Blue Hens, producing their stallion-sons.

“Double Life – her son Persian Gulf emerges to Frankel’s dam Kind” 

The finer points are working the concealed affinity as shown by this example.

“Lavendula II’s half sister Kalmia left the influential male Klairon, as do others in the line descending from Lavendula II per grandam Marchetta.”

The Tourbillon son – Ambiorix from Lavendula per her grandam Marchetta and Lavendula’s daughter Source Sucree (Admiral Drake) the dam of Turn-To (IRE) and again Lavendula daughter Perfume, the dam of My Babu, Marco Polo & Sayani (FR) whom went to Brazil.

Like the knitted Cable on a jumper , these are the Dominant clusters & affinity, blue genetics all-round.

It is filtering what n’ whom ‘cuts’ difference with its deep geno thread, the vitality to be exactly determined.

“the first and most important problem of the Thoroughbred breeder is to recognize the prepotent individual, the sire or dam which is more likely to produce a high-class racer than most other sires and dams. – J. Estes

Sir Tristram’s son & stallion Grosvenor (NZ) are finest bloodlines. Multiple Group 1 winner – VRC Sires Produce @ 2yrs, VRC Derby & Caulfield Guineas winner

A good few weeks back The Thoroughbred Link, evaluated the 2YO field: Australia’s 2021 Golden Sipper.

Stay Inside came right on the money gold slippers on – Stay Inside (AUS)

As a weanling and yearling there went nothing too physically obvious why this individual marked himself as Golden Slipper Winner.

However yes indeed, we spotted! The genotype sat well above others and there went this twinkling, a Star is Born.

(1071) 2021 Longines Golden Slipper – Rosehill – Stay Inside (2YO-G1) – YouTube

Proficient breeding & recognition brings rewards.

The major influence that heightened its split went objectively by Missy Baba  6sx6d,(family 3-l) her transmittance through Hussonet and Annabaa.

Further, it was with analytics’ – surveying breeding by ancestor duplications, stating:   **[ “seventy five sires (that is three in every five) are in the 50-60% band. Only two, xx & Raja Baba are above 70%” ]

Review Missy Baba Horse Pedigree (pedigreequery.com) for there goes classic ‘sting’; Blue hen mares which underpin bullseye genetics.

Their influence to Upgrading classic bloodlines is none other.

Raja Baba sired Sacahuista Horse Pedigree (pedigreequery.com) a champion US filly and she dam sire Ekraar, Buck Strider & dam of Hussonet!

– Raja Baba sired Mexican Triple crown winner Gran Zar Horse Pedigree (pedigreequery.com) and Breeders Juvenile Cup winner Is It True Horse Pedigree (pedigreequery.com)  with, G1 Oaks winner Small Raja Horse Pedigree (pedigreequery.com) plus Canadian champion sprinter Summer Mood Horse Pedigree (pedigreequery.com)

The highest honours to Annabaa as sire is headed by Cartier Horse of the Year – Goldikova Horse Pedigree (pedigreequery.com) and French Derby winner Anabaa Blue Horse Pedigree (pedigreequery.com)

Australian 3YO champion & Caulfield cup winner – Anacheeva Horse Pedigree (pedigreequery.com)

New Zealand champion 2 year old filly Anabandana Horse Pedigree (pedigreequery.com)

Miss Baba influence is an international strain. The stallion Master Bold (USA) exported to Argentina and sire of Distel (ARG) 1972  Brazil, Gr 1 performer

Classic, superior breeding has the seductive mechanism. These progenitor dominant girls (the female factor) and stallion sons have qualitive trait which is simple, direct inheritance.

Further & by few (¹references below + to TBL research) these stallions; My Babu, Ambiorix and Klairon – the Y Tourbillon factor and the daughters alike Lavendula f.f. 1-W &  Loika f.f.5j, dam of Djebel (FR) & Hierocles (FR) shall bare larger-than-life significance, that are far beyond statistical expectations.

“On the key-measure of stakes-winners/runners 82 of the 125 sire crosses listed are in the 2-4% band” 

Spot them well, for background dam factors sit low.

Review, Stay Inside Horse Pedigree (pedigreequery.com) aka My Babu –  Djeddah – Emperor ++ + reflect back, the influential, Missy Baba by My Babu!

Once again genetic co-affinities ⇔  genotype = phenotype

(update: G1 & ATC Galaxy winner (1100 m) Eduardo Horse Pedigree (pedigreequery.com) is by Host (CHI) a Hussonet son. Eduardo was not broken till 4years age! Host’s genotype has very, very interesting factors – not least the 4th dam by Tourbillon. Refer the reference/stats/narrative above. He maybe the lost hero stallion. Now deceased Willow Grove Stud

Helium 3yo colt (Ironicus – Thundering Emilia (ex-Thunder Gulch)

3 wins from 3 starts – winner, 2021Tampa Bay Derby

“this horse is like an old soul”  Emma-Jayne Wilson

(1051) Tampa Bay Downs 03/06/2021 Replay Race 11 – YouTube

Helium, the grandson to sire of sires, Distorted Humour – where Helium’s sire, Ironicus is producer of Ultimate Rider, Cuz, Spanish Rider (sold to Russia) and subject horse  Helium Horse Pedigree (pedigreequery.com)

Immediate genotype presents: – 4×4 Mr Prospector – 5x5x5 Northern Dancer.

Yet, deeper examination illuminates where Integrity and latency lays to deep ends:  the immortal pre-potency.

–  to the similar review – Dr Schivel (USA) the strength of bloodline ‘Fair Play’. His appearance again per Helium’s distaff, 8th dam-daughter, by Fair Play, female family 1-m.

The collective & clustering effect – a ‘direct’ influence has Helium’s 3rd dam, the sire Proud Appeal (USA) plus bring thru, ever-universal – In Reality (duplication 3×3 War Relic → Fair Play 5sx5sx5D)

 2005 – Ken McLean wrote – “Man O’ War’s male line in North America relies solely on In Reality’s male descendants 

– Helium’s 2nd dam sire Saint Ballado (CAN) has grand-dam, by the daughter by War-Admiral/Man o’ War/Fair Play (side note Saint Ballado full brother 1983 US champion 2 yo colt Devil’s Bag)

 Saint Ballado, some respects resembled Sunday Silence’s type: a nice shoulder angle and strength through the hip.  Saint Ballado in the breeding shed was able to upgrade his mares and did it the hard way – Ken McLean**

As the pedigree indicates 4×4 Mr Prospector, it brings, Discovery (the Fair Play male line ) via Native Dancer .

– noting, Gulch (5xx6D Discovery)

*Ironicus maternal distaff has the dam-daughter by War Admiral. His great grand-dam Wild Applause (Northern Dancer) carries the 5x’s to Fair Play.

To Northern Dancer ⇒ Native Dancer – the ‘axle’ of all to the modern thoroughbred ⇒ Geisha by Discovery → Display

**( By and Large, reviewing broodmare inheritances ‘direct’ to Man O War takes genetic power towards constitutional speed. Be aware… his dam Mahubah by Rock Sand by Sainfoin by Springfield trends towards & has the affinity fix towards Sundridge from dam, Sierra by Springfield  i.e. Mumtaz Mahal/Lady Josephine by Sundridge

How that is exercised, for another example: – Sunday Silence 4th dam sire, a son of Man O’ War. SS’s broodmare sire Understanding → Stymie  inbred to 3×3 MoW)

Dr Schivel – 3yo colt (Violence – Lil Nugget ex-Mining for Money (USA)

” he got it done” Luis Mendez, trainer

The story goes: Violence’s (Medaglia d’Oro) weanling colt failed to meet his reserve, & went passed @ $37k. Sire, Violence has a stud fee of $25k – shuttled to Argentina, getting a G1 winner  – Dandy Del Barrio Horse Pedigree (pedigreequery.com)

– our attention came upon Dr Schivel by other means…thru screening ⇒ Damascus 5sx4D – where, 2x Damascus factor bred also places to Hong Kong’s G1 miler & Derby winner Golden Sixty, also sired by Medaglia d’Oro.

Whilst no formula has guarantee, let’s also suggest constitutional honest bloodlines  echo long, to Varola’s finer advice.

Functional types are the cause & effect, and we find Dr Schivel has 29 crosses → TEDDY  linebred to Golden Sixty, 27x – TEDDY – these over 10 generations. May we comment this determination to Teddy is not too frequent to modern day breeding. 

**(side note – it should be remembered Teddy is a mit.Dna corrected pedigree – Bend Orr is out of Clemence, not Rouge Rose. Clemence is our ‘proto-type’ to  Martha’s daughters…)

Commenting to the broodmare Lil Nugget by Mining for Money – she had 14 starts for 4 wins & produced minor place-getters Lil Cheyenne, Lil Sydney, Lil Awesome, Ithoughtipaidyou & subject horse Dr Schivel.

One might wonder if Lil Nugget is possibly another unsuspecting & ‘overlooked’  broodmare pedigree quietly disappearing ???

Lil Nugget by Mining for Money has a large gem. The sire to dam family1-h directs one we still adore to this day, that imperial bloodline and his shall strike💥

⇓

– Mining for Money (USA) f.f.1-h to his 9th dam → My Tide by My Play (Fair Play – ) & a full brother to Man o War.

– to Buckpasser – his dam sire War Admiral by Man o ‘War

– further… the relationship to Damascus?? His sire Sword Dancer – 3rd dam by Man o’ War further noting another Fair Play sire-son Mad Hatter (USA) is also placed to the paternal side, dam’s sire.

– following those Fair Play → Man o’ War (think collective traits, clustering) spans entirely through, is finding the genetic heart bold. Indeed fascinating but perhaps one should not be surprised. See, they blossom the Dr Shrivel geno-pedigree through out.

  1. Salamina ⇒ Sir Ivor
  2. Speed Boat ⇒ Sword Dancer, sire of Damascus
  3. Valkyr ⇒ Balijumper
  4. War Admiral ⇒ Better Self
  5. American Flag ⇒ Raise a Native
  6. War Woman ⇒ Mata Hari → Spy Song (+ Mata Hari’s sire Peter Hastings is by a dam of Hastings Peter Hastings Horse Pedigree (pedigreequery.com) seen thru Dr Shrivel 3rd dam sire, Distant Day (USA)
  7. Display ⇒ Discovery → Bold Ruler via dam Miss Disco & Native Dancer via dam Geisha

Look them over ⇒ Dr Schivel Horse Pedigree (pedigreequery.com) and be re-acquainted how those individuals shall weigh into a pedigree and how they jump into the Frame.

and yes more notes…. Dr Schivel dam Lil Nugget has the 2x Neven Bend (Nasrullah) from the Djeddah daughter Lalun. Lalun 5×5 Teddy!
