On our side of the globe we don’t engage much to brilliancy; South America’s breeding lines and its racing. However we should take note. US, & European with theirs, the international bloodlines.

The focus & advancement of a robust competitive, powerful stayer type is traditional set.

Their generations reflect, built from classic true – individuals around Tesio’s era aka Tracery, Rocksand, Fairway, Donatello.

The Breeding thrusts strict selectivity principles: soundness, merit, development, cultivated on lands rich minerals.

Our TBL subject: – an entire horse that takes his racing campaign with guts of a war-horse is George Washington (BRZ) – recent winner, 2021 GP Brazil, 2400m. Also honoured as Brazil’s leading 3yo colt 2018-19 8 wins of 28 starts.

Pedigree here George Washington by Redattore(BRZ) from Princess Carina (BRZ) by Know Heights (IRE)

 @ genotype George is the outcross bred.

This alike & as was, the breeding advisory of German-born USA bloodstock agent John Aiscan whom being also an apprentice of Tesio when a young man. – (ref. Upgrading Thoroughbred Families by Jack Glencarry 1995).

The article by John Aiscan does not mince words for Tesio not only master, but wise teacher.

To come down thru grand-dam genetics dagger… Heavenly Dancer (BRZ) the 3 female dosages Planetaria by Penny Post (ARG) an enormous genetic Argentinian influence . Penny Post pedigree here

Penny Post the Rock Sand/Tracery male line – the 9x St Angela dam of St Simon – distaff thru to Musket and 3×4 Melbourne. No wonder he was genetic-gold entire!

Penny Post’s daughter Planetaria – f.f. 3O dam of El Centauro (ARG) (n.b. stood in Japan ’74 – 1981), a mare of old-gold.

George’s sire Redattore (BRZ) also the outcross of female family 1-x, the famed Striking family by War Admiral.

Redattore past away May 2021 but left his …… G1 champion miler Kapo di Tutti, G1 performers Olimpo (2000m), Editore, Tizon g1 winner in Uruguay, Real Secret, mare Zara (1600 – 1800m)

Indeed compelling to learn of another genetic giant like Argentinian bred, Penny Post. Not only supremacy for his Integrity lasting….. Penny Post (credit below)

With every reason to further comprehend genotype integrity; the distinction(s) between investment breeding products, or scoring well at the low-end, sings the praise of a solid purchase.

A paltry $2000 purchase, turns out G1 product over 1400m.

Before n’ After

Sierra Sue (NZ) – a 5 yo mare is categorically the grand example to where/how/why genetics work through critical mass, mitochondrial DNA to focus the dam. The focal points are specifics, where IT happens ie Wilkes 5sx5Dx6D

Sierra Sue (NZ) by Darci Brahma from Centree (Centaine)

Sierra Sue Horse Pedigree (pedigreequery.com)

Vain 4dx5D – Wilkes by Court Martial (CM lines 6S x 6D x 7d x 7D x 8D x 8D via Lyphard, Truly Vain + Wilkes.

Come the marvellous superior – their genetics ‘govern’ to note Centree’s broodmare sire, Centaine by Century in geno- frame is undoubtedly, a My Babu conduit.

Pathway genetics = potent progenitors

Add in Wilkes, add in Star Kingdom, add in Hyperion one can’t beat those rock n’ rollers of pedigrees.

Enjoy good times.

  • Native Trail (Oasis Dream) a big powerful bay colt & goes another talent for Godolphin racing.

3 starts for 3 wins this two year old epitomizes savvy raw. As foal, big on ‘type’, he went sold for 50k (euros) then @ Craven Breeze-Up, 210K gns & purchased on Godolphin’s behalf.

May be an image of riding on a horse, horse and text that says 'HARAS D'HASPEL NATIVE TRAIL (m2) remporte les Vincent Ο' Brien National Stakes (Grl) au Curragh Premier éleveur français remporter cette épreuve avec un produit t tout Sa soeur par Kingman été adjugée 950.000 Godolphin lors la rente d'Août Arqana Ne manquez pas nos prochains yearlings envente .sar Arqana &SandraDELMOTTE 0662810486- saa.delmotte@gmail.com'

As cornerstone of today’s modern thoroughbreds, breed-shaper Northern Dancer. His line-bred duplications at times misjudged, where ‘he’ alone, rather than placed ‘with’ distaff dam lines, are the potent pedigree plan.

Nature Trail – 4S x 5S x 7D x 5d x *7D x *5D Northern Dancer with, 5s x 5S x 7D Never Bend are main-trunk lines & Northern Dancer’s dam Natalma hallmark geno.

Thanks to Canadian born circles, I went alerted Northern Dancer was not born till late May (Feb/March foals). This was largely due to N.D’s dam Natalma, per her 3 year filly racing campaign ending with injury. Another quick decision thereafter to have Natalma covered immediately by Nearctic. (ref. Natalma | Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame).

Well, that is breed shaping for you!

Native Trail from an unraced dam to family 4-f ; further tracing back to 4th dam Populi, a good producer of 14 foals 10 winners. Populi greatest – Vanlandingham (USA) – a US champion older male later exported to Saudi Arabia.

Its worthy to note Olympia, 7sx7D, a grand-son of Hyperion and Spy Song 8dx7d from wonderful Mata Hari. And closer in Nijinsky 6Dx4d, as goes to the 3rd dam sire.

(n.b. Native Trail’s dam Needleleaf is full sister G1 sprinter African Rose (Observatory) & was trained in France. Another full sister Helleborine (GB) is dam of Calyx (Kingman) – the Coolmore stallion stands in Australia)

It is quite a family….

Though it may appear insignificant… don’t ever ignore distaff line back Carbine + 2x Musket. They called ‘them’, the Musket breed, duly winning ‘tough’ – Melbourne and Caulfield cups and 4x Australian sire. Mega dominant – read Carbine/Spearmint et al, the natural win, Nature Strip (AUS) & cool n’ easy: Incentivise (AUS) and Martha’s daughters…family 2-h

How do these infuse to Native Trail? Look to Felstead 7sx9s – Bull Dog 7x strains & full brother Sir Gallahad 4x strains from Plucky Leige (f.f.16a) by Spearmint/Carbine (family 2-h)

– from maiden to Makybe Diva Stakes G1 winner (G1) over a space 5 months – the Australian 5yo bay gelding by Shamus Award is talk of the racing community.

His farm nick name is ‘Splinter’ – worth-a-read story where ugly-duckling grows swan to home breeding development and to his deceased dam. Read a great article here.

To subjects genotype & prototype : the natural win, Nature Strip (AUS) the factors, Spearmint lines thru familial distaffs and of similarity, comes around to Incentivise (Shamus Award – Miss Argyle) .

Noting…Incentivise 6th dam Phrygia distaff by Felstead/Spion Kop/Spearmint. Coronation Boy grand- dam Wild Mint by Spearmint, 15x Nogara from Catnip by Spearmint via Nearco & Niccolo dellarco – 12x Plucky Leige by Spearmint 12x via Sir Gallahad, Bull Dog. A good reminder Danzing is distaff, 3rd dam Felstead.

Of further remarkable interest is Spearmint’s daughter Bathing Girl exported to USA. Two generations later the dam produces Hall of Fame US chestnut sire Eight Thirty & broodmare sire of Hold Your Peace (USA).

Felstead 9sx7D expand 10 strains Spearmint

  • it’s remarkable to see Incentivise’s Hyperion line-bred @ 26 strains greater balance v. Nearco’s 18. However Hyperion’s dam Selene @ 21 strains through her 3 sons Hyperion, Pharamound, Sickle indicates she is the further genetic power.
  • Spokes wheel inner, this is Star Kingdom: to the old road: Star Kingdom (IRE) 5 strains via Biscay, Kaoru Star, Noholme, Fairy Stream. The SK male line to Incentivise grand-dam, Precious Pearl. Plus broodmare sire Iglesia, the SK male line to dam-daughter Yodells & grand-dam Yodelling Lady. Incentivise sire Shamus Award, SK male line to the granddam Finito Fling. This is a distinct arrangement, core genetic-carriage, familial daughters distaff has the refining practice.
  • Further thru genetic layers that of ‘nicks’; Star Kingdom to Spearmint, resting with Carbine (sire of Spearmint) by Star Kingdom’s broodmare sire Concerto (GB) from dam line, noting granddam by Carbine.

The concentration of speed in the parents of Star Kingdom and so signally expressed in his own performances and progeny had a revolutionary impact on the Australian thoroughbred.

What a racehorse – pure speed perfection.

Nature Strip earnings to date come $A8million plus. @ Inglis 2016 yearling sales the chestnut yearling passed in at $90K, for a $120k reserve.

Nature Strip Horse Pedigree (pedigreequery.com) (Nicconi (AUS) – Strikeline (AUS)

Uncovering his strains reveals a lot to genetic wonders of thoroughbred breeding.

Nature Strips broodmare sire Desert Sun – an ‘eye of the storm’. Desert Sun’s pedigree outcross are classic Blandford multiples mixed to Lady Josephine speed factors.

Desert Sun – sire of the great New Zealand & Australian Hall of Fame champion mare Sunline (NZ) and broodmare sire to unbeaten champion mare, Black Caviar (AUS) & her half brother sire, All Too Hard (Casino Prince) notably the sire of Alligator Blood, Behemoth, Demonitization, Wellington and the filly, Forbidden Love. Also b/m sire of 4yo stallion Poland (So You Think) for 2 G3 wins, where Poland’s distaff is same female-family to Sunline.

Desert Sun, sire of La Bella Dema (NZ) a mare of G1 class & mare, Our Egyptian Raine (NZ) G1 Australian sprinter.

A true honest producer, Desert Sun ‘get’ may be best thought as tough, determined.

Nature’s Strip sire – Nicconi a fair modest sire of G1 bridesmaid filly Lankan Star & gelding Sirconni a G2 & G3 performer to 4 wins & also, 7x Stakes wins, chestnut gelded Quatronic.

Nature’s Strip dam, the distaff reveals remarkable factors where 6th dam, is daughter of Nearco. 3rd dam by Zamazaan (FR) champion sire of stayers in Australian and New Zealand, has 4×4 son & daughter by Nearco, & thereafter pedigree comes running back through Nearco sons. This template exercises the preferred refinement via female daughters, not sons.

@ TBL – *it is strongly considered Nearco’s dam Nogara to her dam Catnip by Spearmint by Carbine was the ‘most’ responsible factor to Tesio’s earliest selection choice of family & dam line. Spearmint also runs to Danzig’s dam line (3rd dam) by Felstead/Spion Kop/Spearmint & plus, Bletchingly (AUS) via his 3rd dam. Also broodmare sire, Desert Sun has 6th dam by Felstead/Spion Kop/Spearmint and again, Pre-Emptive Strike (CAN) 5th dam by Felstead/Spion Kop/Spearmint. They are all female, dam factor inheritance.

(@ TBL *copyright information* credit back to writer & site)

Spearmint was the 1906 Epsom Derby winner

Of further interest are Nature Strips dam strain(s) by female family 1P (foundation family of Astor stud, UK).

– family 1P distaff per Nature Strip: Pre-Emptive Strike (CAN) and Wilwyn (GB) son of Pink Flower (Oleander GER) from Plymstock daughter of Winkipop 1 n’ same broodmare sire family of the great Phar Lap.

Also family 1P the distaff to Black Caviar & plus to her pedigree – 3×4 Vain by Wilkes by Court Martial from dam Instantaneous of the 1P family.

As we watch Nature Strip, we may further marvel those Bloodlines he carries.
