  • Latin Americas: Uruguayan breeding has two privately bred 2025 colt yearlings, Yosoylatormenta Horse Pedigree ) & Ididitmyway Horse Pedigree
  • These yearlings are of a nearly extinct male line.
  • Their sire, Comical (BRZ) – a 1500m & 2000m winner.
  • Comical’s sire – Linngari (IRE) 11 wins 1200m – 2000m @ two to six years competing in UK, Germany, Italy, Dubai & Hong Kong.
  • Linngari, the son of Indian Ridge (IRE)

his versatility for his gut-busting run in the Gr1 Hong Kong Cup, and his cheque-earning dash in the Gr1 English Champion Stakes? Linngari was a racehorse, no doubt about it.

Linngari Joins Summerhill Stallion Roster | Sporting Post

Linngari was bred by the Aga Khan stud. He enjoyed great adulation for his globe-trotting successes and chalked up Graded stakes performances from Dubai to Dublin, from Paris to Pisa.

Columns written @ Genotypes developed from past years

– the “blending” of the TOURBILLON Lineage with the PHALARIS Lineage, the latter represented by its best son on the Tracks, that is, FAIRWAY, who established an important “Bloodline” of this Lineage, through his son FAIR TRIAL.✅🏆

Unfortunately, both the TOURBILLON Lineage and the FAIR TRIAL “Bloodline” are taking great strides towards extinction through their respective “Sire Lines”, and the Brazilian Breeding has been taking advantage of the promising Breeding Season, LINNGARI, in its last Breeding Seasons, while the FAIR TRIAL “Bloodline” is practically extinct with the death of the GYPSY ROAD Breeder. (reference: THE BEST PSI BRASILLEIROS link)

{“Sire Line” most active in the production of important “Stayers”, characterized by their Consistency and Resistance, privileging “Stamina”, with the Lineages HYPERION, are characterized by the rare and extraordinary predicate of Elastic Speed adjusted from the “Sprinter” to the “Stayer”}

**The greater critical factor for an elite horse maintains to T allele.

Franco Varola took the view, Stout chefs-de-race are that they are particularly charged with preserving the so-call moral qualities of the racehorse” courage, endurance, will to win.

He further stated, “the Galopin/St Simon responsible for more stout sires of the 20th century than any other lineage, as shown”. Stayers are ‘giants of the Turf’ of course!

Varola explains speed has a meaning when it can be carried or maintained over a certain distance, which means that stamina is also an important element to a racehorse.

To Sixties & seventies era’s – it was said breeders generally avoided too much Tourbillon blood however there was no doubt that various Tourbillon strains brought great vigour to many breeding areas internationally.

Indian Ridge sired a dozen G.1 winners, his sire Ahonoora a tragic loss to breeding died at 14 years through a paddock accident at Segenhoe Stud, Australia. His 4 lines to Fair Trial @ 6th generation, two of which came through Court Martial was the ideal ‘cross’ progeny advancing through the ‘brilliant’ strains in Fair Trial. (PEDIGREE INSIGHTS pdf article)

Playing out the inherent true-stayer and speed blood maintains propulsion and an authentic strength. Breeding improvement cannot be achieved when cyclic duplication over numerous generations, perpetuate on same typical sire lines.

Going Ahead …

One of the goals of OSAF is to raise the South American brand worldwide. What are the challenges?LARC’s Esposito on Breeding and Racing in South America – BloodHorse exposes conditions that echoes recognizable; issues to racing and breeding prospects afar.

A strong statement (below) lays to the confronting issue.

They were responsible for the mentality, and the mentality is, they didn’t understand how the industry exists. The horse industry has changed … a lot. It’s business, yes, but it’s also stallions, mares, foals. … The government’s mentality is, “this is just gaming.” (ref, link above)

With World-wide prestige, father of fathers...IS the Tourbillon patriarchy expendable?

Racing and Sports lists Comical (BRZ) having: 7 total wins from his offspring – 7 runners – 5 individual winners. A 14-year-old sire no further information to Comical’s present locality can be found.

Blenheim, Gonfalon, Man O' War

By critical mass, the underlying and profound potent ‘blood’ in Man O’ War (#GB) comes to subject profile: Orange Riviera (BRZ) by Put It Back (USA) from Go To Rivirea (BRZ) ex Wild Event (USA) (pedigree). The 3 year old filly, won 2026 Grande Primio Diana (G1), with a strong homestretch finish. Orange Riviera and Torres García, in the second leg of the Rio de Janeiro’s Triple Crown.

(Half sister Fanciful (BRZ) by Wild Event is twice a G1 winner @ 1600m and 2000m)

Man O’ War influences Champions

– 2x War Relic (Honour & Glory & Beau Purple) – War Admiral (Francis S. & Swaps) – American Flag (Raise a Native) – Spotted Beauty (Relaunch) – Salaminia (Sir Ivor) – *Hostility (Ogygian, grand-dam Honour & Glory) (+) Man O War daughter Speedboat (Damascus) + Firetop (Grand Splendour/Gonfalon)

Pedigree: 4×5 Gonfalon (USA) War Admiral & *Hostility ➡️ 4×5 MOW reinforcement

*Hostility’s grand-dam – Plucky Leige by Spearmint. Orange Riviera > Plucky Leige producer of sons @5x Sir Gallahad + @6x Bull Dog. Bull Dog & 3x Man O’ War are mix potent lines! (Hostility’s 5th daughter is double-copy mare Killaloe)

3rd dam Grand Splendor’s daughters Killaloe and Gonfalon are responsible for some big names, including Ogygian, Lookinforthebigone, Fappiano, Torrential, Clabber Girl, and Keeper Hill. The 2nd dam, Farnesol, was exported to Argentina and produced G2 performer Farenboy. Frieda Fritz (ARG) by Roy, a G2 winner in Argentina has Fappiano & Ogygian. Gonfalon is the great granddam to Florida sire, Curlin’s Honor. (not rostered)

As ‘School of Varola’– Brazil and Argentina bloodlines critique sires capturing Type. “When the name of Blenheim is chosen, and Blenheim is a name that can never be absent from a list of Breed Stallions.” (credit link)

Thus we see the emergence of two distinct tendencies from this count: one is that in which attendance decreases from father to son, i.e., Swynford 47, Blandford 34, Blenheim 12. In this case, we have a sequence that must be considered together, since each of its components demonstrates that it has not transmitted its qualities to a single son, but to a plurality of descendants.

Turf and Élevage

THEORY OF RATIONAL

DOSAGES “The selection of a sire for a given breeder must be indicated by its ability to correct excesses or deficiencies due to the presence of past Breed Chiefs in the mare’s pedigree. Consequently, bringing the pedigree of the planned product as close as possible to the recommended dosage.” credit –https://purosanguedecorrida.blogspot.com/

Admirably, what the above IS, has a specific instruction, dedicating question and answer for identifying what dosage, where it is or can be preferable in the pedigree, thereof to emerge influence.

Orange Riviera – 12 x Blenheim

Mahmoud (The Axe/Relaunch, Ogygian, Northern Dancer, Mr Trouble/Lode, daughter Clovelly/Wild Again/Wild Event)– Mumtaz Begum (Nasrullah) – Free America (2x Gonfalon by Correlation)– Mar-Kell (dam line, sire PUT IT BACK)

By influences @ male line, Blenheim – Blandford- Swynford @ 7th dam sire (Idle Hour GB) – 2x Swynford merges filly’s 3rd dam Fricote, 11 x Blandford.

Obviously, other numerous highly valued contributor sire ‘lines’ & of dams are equal, to some effect. The Bay Ronald, short-coupled Son-in-Law contrasts physical type @ 8 strains – ex 4th dam Quip Mask, a champion G1 mare reminds value is continued from its heritage.

To take awareness how powerful ‘they’ still have it – these stronger diverse descendants are remarkably potent and effective. With incomparable foresight “cultural stability achieved by the maintenance of cultural variety, just as biological stability is achieved by the maintenance of biological variety.” Franco Varola.

This gradual transformation of the Thoroughbred from feudal to corporative, and from corporative to international, is not only a striking parallel to the transformations which have occurred to Western society which sponsors it.

‘School of Varola’ classic & professional.

– Apolo Dez (BRZ), the Teddy ‘Y’ line reflects long

Damascus, La Troienne, Teddy

APOLO DEZ (Stud São Francisco da Serra) Male / Chestnut / 2020 Grande Prêmio Paraná (G3) The star Apolo Dez, the best arena horse in Brazilian horse racing today, became the champion of the 2024 GP Paraná (G3-2000mA), held in December at the Tarumã Racecourse. With the disqualification of the then winner No Bien Ni Mal, Apolo Dez inherited the victory, earning another important point in the campaign and remaining undefeated in the current 2024/2025 season. The son of Holding Glory and Pleine Lune (Crimson Tide), bred by Ulisses Lignon Carneiro, has 13 victories, 12 of which are classic and 8 graded. The duo formed by jockey W. Xavier and trainer J. C. Sampaio was crowned with this special achievement, not forgetting the groom Sirlei and veterinarian Maria Cristina Vieira, who carry the ‘rocket’ Apolo Dez on their laps. The spectacular horse from Stud São Francisco da Serra, read Luis Antonio Ribeiro Pinto, will be back racing next March, facing the GP Professor Nova Monteiro (G3-1900mA). TECHNICAL INFORMATION: Jockey: Wilkley Xavier Trainer: Julio Cesar Sampaio Breeder: Ulisses Lignon Carneiro Owner: STUD SÃO FRANCISCO DA SERRA Date: 12/1/2024 – Sunday – 9th Race Distance: 2,000m (AM) – Tarumã Time: 2’06”94

The topic of Y Diversity derives a mute, stuck, or so-what discussion, pointedly the two male lines much common.

Whether to debate or lament Y sire lines, solutions are short. Arising up another, its ‘dormancy’ just may open new doors. Intro a Teddy male line – Damascus – Private Account (USA) – (dec.2021) Holding Glory sire of Apolo Dez (BRZ).

As also the Teddy Y male-line – Alcorano, sadly deceased 2024 (article link) https://www.pedigreequery.com/alcorano, a G1 and G3 performer for 22 starts 6 wins. However Alcorano is sire of Altetico el Curano (URU) and his racing video’s are featured below.

Behind classic breeding as went French bred Teddy has really much a tragedy of the commons development. That choice point went with fate, or the calculated fortune goes finely explained below.

Due to the outstanding ability of Teddy for ‘siring sires’ his line always played a primary role in French racing, and expanded to the United States though Bull Dog, Sir Gallahad III and Bull Lea enjoying supremacy until dethroned by the functional rehabilitation of the Phalaris-line sires.

Franco Varola

The sale of the Marcel Boussac bred La Troienne (Teddy) proved to be a disastrous result for the French and a pot-of-gold for the US as was then purchased, approved selection by advisor Olin Gentry whom opened those doors and in came, Buckpasser and Private Account, Poker, Case Ace, Smarty Jones et al. La Troienne still continues her legacy…

the various descendants of Teddy, Rabelais or Vatellor, whom the Frenchmen know how to produce in permanent flux, have been triumphing...   (https://purosanguedecorrida.blogspot.com/search?q=teddy)

Indeed Teddy! Teddy’s daughter Assignation is Secretariat’s 4th dam! It wasn’t till I sighted this photo that gave a fine appreciation where Teddy is purely classic genotype- phenotype perfection. Teddy is the picture of 1,000 words.

Teddy – (Photo acknowledges Quest for a Winner, Ken McLean)

Whilst scientists may suggest/advise there are ‘probabilities’ by females mitochondria ‘variants’, a non-diversified breeding program goes commonplace.

What magnificence appeals to exceptional phenotype as so clearly produced by Teddy. Teddy – Family 2-n, 7x Martha Lynn + 5×3 Bend Or’s sire genetic correction to a Clemence/Martha Lynn distaff, Galopin’s sire male line (science has Delight) takes 2x Selim. There can only be one conclusion Haplotype L4 is superior!!

Tadcaster/Clementina (by Doncaster out of Clemence) which is extreme potency and typesetting and it explains his long genetic reach. (Kirsan)

@Teddy, 5 sire Generations down produced Damascus by Sword Dancer whom @ distaff in Man O Wars daughter Speed Boat, a sister to War Relic mating across My Babu broodmare sire. Whilst Blue Larkspur & Selene is evident – the mint is more perhaps to Commando (USA) assigned family A15 as himself fleshed with the greatest, Lexington. But what really Damasus blood says is also the potency of still the undermined & somehow not determined publicly, what designates A15 Haplotype.

Understandably its nerdy deep but Teddy infusions are upon his individuality to line-breed again. Apolo Dez’s sire Holding Glory has 12x Teddy and Alcorano @ Teddy 21x’s!

Apolo Dez (BRZ) has 12x Teddy.

May let the aim to restore bone integrity: make ‘choice’ vigour for the hybrid TB, create or explore at least an alternative. Breeding for the future requires still philosophy, making for the course correction in soundness and longevity. In all shapes and forms…Stamina crosses are high cruising speed.

Increased diversity shall remain at the heart of the ongoing challenges in fostering vitality. South America is pleasantly consistent. Apolo Dez highlights that Brazil’s prowess is knowing the silverware.

Altetico el Curano (Alcorano) (URU) – https://www.pedigreequery.com/atletico+el+culano Racing in Uruguay, Chile and UAE, a G1 winner Uruguay and Racing Dubai winner has @ 15x Teddy.


From the cross-combination of French, English and American strains found in his collection of broodmares, Boussac raised a new type of racehorse that would dominate the French Classics.
