Goes Humbling for a stallion as advertised @US$5k to new 2025 stud fee of $US 2k.
Coal Battle has been making waves in the racing world, winning several key races on the Road to the Kentucky Derby. He went purchased for $70,000 at the Texas Thoroughbred Association Yearling Sale.
he’s just different, he’s kind of unique
Coal Front (USA) 11 yr old sire of 3yo colt Coal Battle fires the pedigree across mare Wolfblade by Midshipman for 6x Seattle Slew lines.
Seattle Slew’s dam My Charmer is inbred 3×3 to the sisters Striking and Busher who are both by War Admiral from Baby League, a daughter of La Troienne. Concentrations of **Blue Larkspur in Seattle Slew geno: sourced to Alablue, Nothirdchance, and Myrtlewood.

With heroes and their yarns, Life is on the qui vive, there comes the man and horse“A horse has got 216 bones in his body, and they’ve all got to work,” Lonnie Briley states (credit LINK)
As so to, the qui vive mating goes much satisfying for the deceptive non-commercial sire with mare.
Coal Battle’s dam Wolfblade has Caro’s 4s x 5d x 5d, a 1971 French champion older male, sire-line of Cozzene, Siberian Express (Uncle Mo (USA), Winning Colors and With Approval and as broodmare sire Unbridleds Song.
🐴Caro (IRE) as strain, was bred with Fortino the sprinter & the stayer dam was a Varola design for breeder, Countess Margit Batthyany
5s x 5d Roberto – Roberto is the strain to 4×4 **Blue Larkspur, the commanding three year old colt considered to be a super horse. Sired by Black Servant from the very fast Blossom Time to the inbreeding of 3×4 imported Padua. A test-mating of the times…to see ‘if’ it would provide a racehorse with classic speed, as then designed by Olie Gentry.
Olin Gentry highly esteemed Blue Larkspur as one of the all time genuine greats of American racing. Sire of several champions he was considered a prepotent sire transmitting his own sound type.
“Olie Gentry – was responsible for the mating that produced Roberto, winner of the English Derby and Benson and Hedges Gold Cup, & Coronation Cup. Olie Gentry’s success due to applying commonsense and being aware of how to manipulate pedigrees and raise a classic winner” Ken McLean
The genetic fruits of another’s home-bred labour – Coal Battle colt profile distinguishes remarkably.
The Golden Sixty ‘gears’ shall come upon careful consideration of both genetic lineage(s) & pedigree, Damascus. The Damascus Blue-blood influence positions upon an extraordinary potency ‘unmatched’.
Accounting ancestry influences, re-count the previous TBL blogs giving praise to the Irish Eclipse Harkaway – majorly to his ‘mark’ upon the St Simon pedigree via broodmare sire King Tom. And, Harkaway also influences Hastings (scientifically inconclusive to Hastings https://www.tbheritage.com/Portraits/Cinderella.htmlBUT Harkaway’s genetic influence appears - Tomahawk/King Tom/Harkaway makes for a probable line, duly morphology and trait bearing characters.

Hastings sire of *Fair Play sire of Man O’ War, Chance Play, Chance Shot, Display (sire of Discovery), Dunlin, Fairmont, Mad Hatter, Mad Play, My Play, Norse King et al
Discovery was gifted with the ability to carry great weight and win which earned him the nickname “Iron Horse.” (credit: FB group Whirlaway)
There goes a superior dominant pedigree: a source & cross to reinforce.
With both pedigree and Haplotype – a bred genotype appears. By engaging optimal inheritability – its jig-saw across the affinity relationship(s) becomes more defined.
4×4 Damascus by Sword Dancer.
Sword Dancer 5×6 *Fair Play – Sword Dancer male line back to St Simon’s grand-dam St Angela (as dam of St Simon, she by King Tom by Harkaway) ***St Angela daughter Angelica producer of Orme.
@Haplotype I2a1 – encompasses Anglica dam of Orme and St Angela dam of St Simon
The Man O’ War (#GA tail- line) & daughter Speed Boat (f.f.1-o) has Haplotype I2a1.
Display – sire of Discovery
mainstream family 4 has Haplotype I2a1 (ie 2 different Haplotypes exist at family 4 branch)
(note: amongst all, the Geno chiefly dominates to Haplotype I2a1, ie these above are displaying Homozygosity relationship.

Hades 4th dam sire Believe It (USA) – a tail-male of War Relic (noting – f.f.1-o, W.R & Speed Boat are full Brother & Sister) +b/m sire Buckpasser
The relationship of Haplotype I2a1 appears common to female family 13 branches. The main candidate is Mr Prospector and additionally to Hades pedigree, broodmare sire Elusive Quality. Seattle Slew same.
Though yet inconclusive and subjected to Stud Book Pedigrees if ‘correct’ – the Haplotype relationship places or forwards the superior homozygosity relationship. As follows the Goldmine👇👇👇💯
And genetics as such, went left to her dam Shenanigans, a sensational speed factor via her first foaling, the grey son Icecapade. His son Wild Again ex-Bushel N Peck, a Khaled mare and a female line of the Cinna family sired Wild Event, a sire exported to Brazil establishing a breeding potency upon sons Fluke, Tonemai, Poker Face and Daniel Boone a sire serving in Argentina siring G1 colt Vespaciano (1600m)
Icecapade is the grand-sire of speed rated, Phone Trick (Clever Trick, pictured below)
#Turf#OjoAlDato Vespaciano (4a) mantuvo el invicto en el GP Dos Mil Guineas (G1) de San Isidro. En esa carrera no vencía en la pista un potrillo en esa condición desde Now Mont en 2004 (ya que Hi Happy heredó el éxito por la descalificación de Elektro Jack en 2015). pic.twitter.com/WIkGaWspzL
@ Icecapade 4th dam sire of Daddysruby a will to lead, some fierce speed memory dominates as it was for Ruffian and yes, Icecapade broodmare sire of Hall of Fame inductee, Lady’s Secret (Secretariat). Icecapade/Shenanigans may well transmit the will to win!
Daddysruby has the enduring 9x Princequillo, 12x Nasrullah cross to provide the diverse reinforcement arrangement... where its (collective critical mass) goes poorly limited these days, the two named chefs are usually duplicated alone, Secretariat in-bred, line-bred.
Like Ruffian on You Tube, Seattle Slew knew his ‘will’ was to survive and Win. SS phenotype gets back upon genotype.
Daddysruby 9th dam by War Relic, full brother to *Speed Boat.
Not to be overlooked Plucky Leige (by Spearmint). It is her full brother sons, the elite sires 8x Bull Dog (Teddy) & 6x Sir Gallahad flowing to her veins.
It is the marvels of ol’gold: these genetics from a useful raced dam, the useful G2 sire to produce G1 winner Daddysruby.
