elsewhere – discussions come n’ go re: selections to using fresh-man sires.

What goes??? the performance, the quality of the racing individual, or other testimony to breeding capability as sire?

What gives way is the genetic makeup & how it may carry through.

Naturally the mare is other half of the equation.

Utilizing inbreeding, linebreeding relativity is also reviewing what stamping type model shall progress ‘character’ further.

Today’s example to the Unbeaten winner of 5 starts, gelded Hong Kong sprinter Courier Wonder (NZ) – a NZ Bloodstock yearling purchase by John Foote Bloodstock $150,000

By deceased sire Sacred Falls (NZ) – a 3×5 Centaine (Century) template (noting ‘perfect’ female carrier position), let’s reconcile why dominant characters govern. This is the destiny of genetics.

What choice to? What trait ideal ‘selecting’ ? -the complete complexity of all those furthest individuals raining down through pedigree.

Courier Wonder thru haplotype (ie. female family 14c collective) could represent foundational homozygous fashion.

For mine its trotting out via My Babu (Djebel) carried thru female carriage consistent. ie 6th dam grand-sire My Babu.

Centaine/Century/Better boy/ My Babu

Savannah Success from female distaff My Babu

Sir Tristram, granddam All my Eye by My Babu

Iguazu 3×3 Century et al

– to push validation – the My Babu (Djebel dynasty via Djeddeh daughter Lalun ie Never Bend/Miss Reef) all shall come into sharp focus.

The other and never of any less… Star Kingdom line through Bletchingly/ Todman and Canny Lad.

Once again (in this case) it is not planning the pedigree, but where-to Identification; what Type may be representative ‘true’ of such mating.

Courier Wonder (NZ) has full sister Icebath (NZ) she 20 starts for 3 wins.

3 yr old NZ gelding – Aegon (Sacred Falls (NZ) – Toss Up (NZ) ex- Zabeel ) 

4 wins from 4, winner of G1 NZ 2000 Guineas 1600m  + G 2 Hawkes Bay Guineas 1400m +Karaka Million 3YO Classic (1600m)

The prior article SACRED FALLS (NZ) potency  illustrated the young New Zealand sire. He sadly deceased from a liver condition in 2019.

Sacred Falls 3 year old gelded son Aegon, went purchased for $NZ150k at NZ Bloodstock Yearling Sales.

This yearling colt had captured the purchasers ‘eye’… athletic, nicely balanced where not overly large yet, the colt had some extra appeal.

– it appears, the gelded son of Sacred Falls (a dual Doncaster miler) shall emulate his sire’s racing abilities.

Postulating the breeding & genetics – the TBL view is to target ‘why/how’ a quality sire over dam meets genotype ‘advanced’ via and thru numerous individuals represented. Where these lend towards or backwards upon old bones, exemplary strains that do exist distinct, they the exalted ones not to be missed, only be ever more so appreciated.

– the integrity of the racehorse thoroughbred to its ancestral bones has paid more principle than could ever be believed. Simply – prototype equals the on-top, dominant.

These exalted ones are the decisive: they are forever, laser sharp, integral to a sport horse finest. Supreme – they are ‘short’ (i.e. no shuttle, no numbers ‘mass’)

Where theory to breeding has reasonable explanatory, it is not the only means to evaluating.

The differentiation compels towards allele dominance supported by attribution traits and yes of course, the study of line-breeding brings thru the main radius of blood.

Solitary, forgotten(?), lost-to, lack of knowledge(s) this has the art of gathering familial bloodlines. Their Genetics are a valuable source & revelation to manifest over repeated generations as to re-evolve where these defiantly DNA ‘transmit’.

They have the ‘missing’ details to discern & examine.

First… the obvious Aegon factors to 5×5 Northern Dancer and 5×5 Mill Reef. Had (personally) always thought O’Reilly (sire of Sacred Falls) was of the chiefly, Princequillo conduit type – there via, Mill Reef. Plus, Sacred Falls 5th dam has grand-sire Princequillo.

The cross-nick applied O’Reilly over Zabeel mares has Princequillo through Sir Tristram. However back…deeper & collectively 9x’s Princequillo preside via Milan Mill, Round Table, Bourbon Prince, Somethingroyal and Monarchy.

What the above emanates… to draw another & how often is it (?) …the familial blue-hen collectively… and easily over looked.

Peruse once again Aegon’s pedigree Aegon Horse Pedigree (pedigreequery.com) for Knights Daughter/Feola – the female family 2f to identify her transmittance, the Conduit factor via, Tell Tell Horse Pedigree (pedigreequery.com) (notably… 2×3 Knights Daughter!!), Round Table and significantly, Tale of the Cat – infused via his daughter, grand-daughter & dam, Toss Up (NZ).

So what does the sire Sacred Falls expose?

No matter what…a sire in his purist design shall reproduce the best of himself.

He will slot into anything…but essentially is an up-grader across all the broodmare numbers given to him.

The breeding future is still IN his…

The Genetic Character – Tarzino (NZ)

The genetic character to Westbury Stud’s sire Tarzino continues to unveil a suspicion – this instinctual nudge not to be ignored.

The TBL research has pushed at a greater prototype that unravels or comes upon dominant ones – alleles’ doing a job.

Utilizing prototype ancestral to arrive how family lines or, what shoots above the rest, has consistence more than middling.

–  late 2020 research alerted that backbone stability unfolds its genetic chain towards speed and stamina.

Evaluating pedigree compels one to realize these non-specific, rather pre-ordained and though we might consider breeding has steps 1.2.3….. it reinforced where trying too hard to exploit speed excluding everything else, is reckless.

In the positive-sense, back-up, prototype strains are highly zig-zag dangerous. Thus, immersion to ascend – Hurry On builds constitution.

The clarity comes often too late…yet, what provides PRO-GENITOR relationship has the defining & lasting genus.

The paradox – how can it be anything else?

It is the at-foot patterns, nicking between ‘at-work’. The knit of why one compels the nick, to another.

Science considers mutational changes to average’s 11-12 generation cycle – this evolutionally plants the character: the building of generational makeup.

As posted → je-ne-sais-quoi: Tarzino (NZ) TBL reckoned the sire would be a game-changer.

Tarzino has a target to his bloodlines that parallel alike. i.e. Djebel/Tourbillon. Like French breeding was – finest Derby winners astutely bred astute, designed to  professional winning alongside long-developed patience.

Patience.

His 2 year old progeny are pre-training trial phrase. This NZ racing video Tarzino-Espresso Cavallo gelding exemplifies what is in store. Additionally, sizing genotype pedigree perfecto hits the nail on the head for…Le Fabuleux (FR) keys the dams pro-genitor relationship backwards to its invisible thread falling upon Neil Gow by Marco and Beppo by Marco, Beppo is the maternal grand-sire of Gay Crusader (GB) and he the sire of Loika, the dam of Djebel. There lays the plait.

The trait, tied to its breeding clearly underpins a sport horse fit for racing adeptness.
