my bloke’s been ticking over really good

2yo King of Pop colt over 1200m new track record @ 1.09.13

On Pedigree https://www.pedigreequery.com/king+of+pop11 , the dominant profile places (once again) elite dam 4x6x5 Easy Date – her details are covered to post a blue hen pings G2 winner, Leica Lucy (NZ), **Easy Date 5x5x5.

King of Pop’s grand-dam Weiner is Snitzel’s 1/2 sister. Also the family of Hinchinbrook (Fastnet Rock – Snippet’s Lass by Snippet)

A prior research @ Farnan post (September 2020) far out speed…Farnan (AUS), 1/2 brother in sire Sandbar (Snitzel), the sire of 2yo, Pierro Plate winner 1100m, gets the gelding Shaggy. Those two sires focus their dam family: to arrive head in genetics – Lion Hunter (Aus) thru Godswalk thru Intentionally (USA) taking affinity to Snitzel via 3rd dam sire-line In Reality (3×3 War Relic, 3x Fair Play) by Intentionally.

King of Pop broodmare sire All Too Hard circles the f.f. 1-P assigned family probability 2 Haplotype ‘family. In a hypothetical schedule, Court Martial, sire of Wilkes, thence Rory Jester, CM grand-sire of 2xVain – 4th dam sire of Lion Hunter, Claude’s (ITY) sire Hornbeam (4th dam sire of African Queen, Troy in Street Cry) and likely, the sire nick-cross in Farnan/All Too Hard.

King of Pop’s female family 2-c, suggests Haplotype L4 – generally designated upon families 2.

The quality of any pedigree is keying to what set the Type across. Complex. In regards to last article, the re-visitation of classic chef Teddy is transformative refining and goes a long road breeding still dynamite.

4x https://www.pedigreequery.com/sans+tares

In 1940, Sans Tares was sent to the U.S. by breeder to avoid appropriation by German Army during the II World War (from The Thoroughbred Record Jun 15 1940).RRE
sent to France in 1947.
Died in 1965.
Dam of 5 SW, including Washington DC International S. winner Worden and Wilkes winner of the Prix Edgard de la Charme and Champion Australian Sire 3 times

To Notes (available) on Breeding in France post WWII, reveals that French breeding had to live on its own resources, utilize to the utmost with their notable successes to native blood lines. For example, in 1945, one third of the prizes distributed in races was won by the descendants of 🏆Teddy, Bruleur, Alcantara II & Massine.

understand…

To re-examine ‘Teddy’ daughters, his fine recognizable influence is very, very relevant. 4×4 Teddy = Buckpasser, in Danehill. Dancing Show (Bull Lea/Mr Busher) – Teddy daughter Tara, grand-dam Wilkes Crown Jester – Hitting Away > Easy Date, Mr Prospector, Troy/Helen Street > Worden (Fr), Godswalk (USA), Wilkes/Vain, 3rd dam to Casino Prince , Garden Green (IRE) 5×5 Teddy, Helsinge, More Than Ready > Good Landing 4×5 Teddy, + Woodman (Mr Prospector) and King of Pop’s distaff Snippet’s Lass, is to a Teddy daughter Britannica (FR), exported to USA.

Why? Its since the genetic clean up @ Bend Or records (correction Tadcaster) @Teddy – the prototype individual is a Martha Lynn type. Martha Lynn is He…Teddy provides Haplotype L4.

Pedigree is designing... science informs protein-allele synthesis & the racing model suitably depicted. Yet fundamentals ‘if’ an overly rapid expansion in production of 1 trait is to the expense of other traits, it ultimately proves itself detrimental to other.

Breeding how’s are – He, brings himself back across his daughters. Teddy.

In Ken McLean’s words: in every instance their pedigrees reveal a heavy build-up of similarly related ancestors connecting up with each other.

Teddy. (caste aside by British breeding, his potency upgraded US breeding to a supreme level. ARTICLE

King of Pop was an $800,000 buy for his trainers from North Bloodstock’s Magic Millions Gold Coast yearling draft in 2024. https://catalogue.magicmillions.com.au/lot/24GPR/377

Black Caviar, Court Martial, Toronado

A day short of her 18th birthday the great Australian mare Black Caviar passed.

In a class of her own – she truly captured people’s admiration around the racing world to enchant young and old alike including the late Queen, Queen Elizabeth II, after her Royal Ascot win.

RIP the Imperial, Black Caviar.

🏆Her star pedigree shall so remain and her female family distaff (f.f.1-P) blue-hen regarded, fondly termed Black Caviar family as its development arises from https://www.ttrausnz.com.au/edition/2020-09-25/blue-hen-helsinge-legacy-continues-to-live-on

The Legacy lives on and once again this wonderful family line in 3yo Australian colt Theblade (Toronado (IRE) – Brigite (Aus) ex- Casino Prince. Pedigree link⬅️

Pedigree Notes @ family 1-P & William the Third influence 👉👉➡️ (link)

Before any analysis began on Theblade’s sire Toronado, our hunch that Court Martial had to be present. Court Martial comes in to the broodmare sire of Sassafras (Fr) through his son Ratification (GB) as 4th dam sire to sire Toronado (Ire).

🐴🐴🐴Court Martial https://www.pedigreequery.com/court+martial from distinguished female family 1-P as also so Theblade in distaff. Notably, female affinities thru to i) William the Third ii) daughter ain female-ancestor Winkipop. At William the Third by St Simon with son Roseland sire of Garron Lass, 2nd dam of Bahram and sire of Big Game to Toronado 6th dam sire.

The female co-affinity further assigns – Broodmare sire Casino Prince thru Belle of Ireland (dam of Kenmare (Fr), Gay Crusader in Djebel, Big Game/Bahram, 3rd dam sire Foxhunter from dam Trimestal, Donatello in mare Garden Green (3rd dam of Casino Prince) & Vatout tail male descendant Faubourg (FR). We also have Nashua b/m sire 5×5 Mr Prospector with Count Fleet thru Contessina & Display sire of Discovery as b/m sire Native Dancer. (Female co-affinities are linked in Gravity – Pitti – Florence – Contessina. ).

Darshaan in Toronado – 5×3 Umidwar b/m sire Bridaine (FR) from a William the Third daughter Bitter Orange. Darshaan sire Shirley Heights – 6×4 Djebel > Gay Crusader, Count Fleet, Shirley heights 2nd dam sire Grandmaster (IRE) of the Vatout line.

Theblade – 5x5x5 Danzig – note his sire Northern Dancer to b/m sire Native Dancer is a strain to William the Third from son Nassovian. Plus, Danzig’s 3rd dam by Felstead from dam Felkington where her dam Comparison, a daughter of William the Third.

Indeed the inter-relationship complexity to William the Third in its collective mass is phenomenal. Finding William the Third’s influences rather than pinning upon St Simon alone paramount.

Without William the Third, sire of 1,000 Guineas winner Winkipop, there would be no Court Martial, or a Black Caviar family. Vale Black Caviar.

And in conclusion, following the colt Theblade, is terribly exciting!!

THEBLADE is pretty happy with himself after his impressive debut win at Randwick today 😏 pic.twitter.com/9Bxy4bZmtJ

🐴Group 2 Roses winner: Scarlet Oak by Kermadec (NZ) from Tactless (AUS) by Commands

So thrilled with Scarlet Oaks win in the Gr 2 Roses at Doomben today! Such a talented filly, to be able to win at this level on her first Australian preparation. So happy for her amazing ownership group and a huge thanks to the amazing team @cwallerracing and @mcacajamez for the… pic.twitter.com/yRua0FYU7q

The former New Zealand raced filly, a subject pedigree to strains: Sans Tara / Tara where TBL research has indicated the importance for some time. This Tara strain, present to Fuji Kiseki (JPN) – Wolverton & 3rd dam Awards Ceremony (Aus).

The family 13c is attributed to #Haplotye I2a – Iberian type ancestry. Similarly, classification to such affinity type may associate family branches 4 to the 2nd b/m sire Quest for Fame as inherent Pieces of Eight by Relic male line to #GA Man O’ War as also #GA, Hurry On sire sons Precipitation – line #GA that makes its Type through elite mare Eight Carat.

Firstly, we have researched the Juliet branch fairly extensively. We are very sure it is the “I” haplotype”

Secondly the “I” haplotype has a number of Lowe families that are one and the same mare that pre-dates the stud book. The I2a founder mare was probably born 2000+ years ago but has a lot of different Lowe families in it.

5×5 Angelica, from St Angela (dam of St Simon) – family 11-c, at #haplotype I2a1 sister to Regulus, the daughter of Godolphin Arabian.

https://www.pedigreequery.com/sister+to+regulus

Scarlet Oak’s sire Kermadec (sire of Singapore Horse of the Year Lims Kosciuszko ) & 2023 BRC Queensland Oaks winner Amokura (notes b/m sire Quest for Fame) + Willowy (b/m sire Quest for Fame) the winner of 2021 VRC Oaks (Kennedy Oaks) & 2021 VRC Wakeful Stakes has broodmare sire Fuji Kiseki (JPN) and there goes its all-round factor i) Sunday Silence ii) from a Princequillo daughter one n’ same Mill Reef.

Scarlet Oak’s dam by Commands may be best ‘remembered’ as sire of New Zealand Horse of the Year Melody Belle. As sire, his family line is plus known to another great G 1 performer – Kaapstad (Sir Tristram).

Inconspicuous depth: appraise Scarlet Oak’s 5th dam Waltz 4×4 Blandford. Blandford pertinent to sire of Dalmary where her line often applauds Derby runners (f.f. 5-h) – Rough Shod Blue Hen Mare USA + Fairy Bridge dam of Sadlers Wells + Blandford’s son Blenheim sire of Mahmoud. Mahmoud’s presence to 4×3 Danehill and Northern Dancer. Hence Blandford, top and bottom back.

Blandford family 3-o equates #Haplotype L2b1a hence Sunday Silence. The uncommon knowledge is that the family 3 has affinity to family 2-d.It is now noted of family 2d are of 2 designations i) L4 and ii) L2b1a. Danehill has been since stated upon #Haplotype L4 (refer, Credit reference Article above, author B. Rogers). https://www.bloodlines.net/TB/PedigreeMatters/Fams/EquineGeneticGenealogy.htm

While like for like (sire across dam) has the main crux intention: the classic male or female contributors seen to racehorse performances are naturally, drawing crucial gene sets and it is contended, they shall come from any non-specific Haplotype. TBL research however considers probable Dominant and Inherent Type.

#Haplotye I2a1
#Haplotype L2b1a
#Haplotype L4

Sister to True Blue, through which Family 3 descends to the present day – the daughter of Byerley Turk.
