She showcased her sire’s worth – a strong win from her debut start, the 2 year old bay filly Toorak Jewel https://www.pedigreequery.com/toorak+jewel by Tassort (Aus) from Toorak Rose ex-Toorak Toff (Aus) surely shone bright.

The filly cast aside ‘well-bred’ runners, making headlines – $36k spend returns $500k prize money https://www.ttrausnz.com.au/edition/2026-01-19/buy-of-the-weekend-dollar36000-tassort-filly-dazzles-in-magic-millions-debut –

@ sire Tassort, son of Brazen Beau (Aus) B.B’s distaff goes by a Nearctic daughter, Nearctic Answer (Can) (n.b. Nearctic’s broodmare sire Hyperion viz., > 6x Northern Dancer).

Tassort’s dam Essaouira, the producer of 3x G.1 wins mare, Alizee (Aus – sire, Sepoy) & G1 at 3 years – Astern (Medaglia D’Oro) standing 2025, Turkey.

Toorak Jewel profiles @12 x’s Star Kingdom to the old road: Star Kingdom (IRE) with his sire-son 5x Biscay & son sire Bletchingly noting the broodmare sire Relic, to 6x Relic & contributor Fair Trial (f.f.9-c).

The mention @Fair Trial in Biscay’s pedigree take lines @ 4x Sundridge (Star Kingdom – 2x Sunstar – Solario – Lady Juror. ‘S’ family, f.f 2-g: Sundridge’s dam Sierra & Sainfoin’s dam are genetically 1 n’ same, hence find with 3x Tracery.

The filly’s 6th dam/distaff @ Todman by Star Kingdom – distaff Haplotype @ Todman f.f. 1-u same f.f. 6-e being Selene/Hyperion + sire, Selene/*Sickle (note below) inclusive to her son Pharamond (thru Sir Ivor which notes, Green Desert sire & male line).

Star Kingdom was the prolific breeder of breeders; his sons entirely dominated Australian turf & breeding mid 60’s & 70’s; the rise n’ falls of sires so declined of this preeminent male line in Hyperion however to become reclaimed through generation and critical mass.

Broodmare sire Toorak Toff is both by sire-male line & by distaff, Hyperion.

Star Kingdom’s son Todman is also 2nd dam sire to Strategic (Aus) – a powerful breeder of his own account.

Toorak’s Jewel distaff has a famous race mare – Allez France by Sea Bird by Dan-Cupid 5×3 *Sickle from Selene.

Allez France – 1972 French Champion 2YO Filly – 1973 French Champion 3YO Filly – 1974 French Horse of the Year / Champion Older Mare – 1975 French Champion Older Mare.

Allez Franche is the dam of Air de France (USA) by Seattle Slew Toorak Jewel’s 3rd dam sire. Allez France’s distaff brings to the fold…War Admiral/Man O War and connect that through Relic/War Relic/Man O War (specific carriers @ speed sound Type) are pre-determined traits dominantly stronger than pedigree itself. (n.b. Out of date criteria, PedQuery – GSV 35.99?)

Sharp, explosive pedigree it further applys speed-endurance with Australian champion sprinter @ Exceed and Excel (Aus) through his distaff @ f.f. 23-b Back Britches & Watch Your Step dam Stepwisely 10x Lexington by Boston @ 14x. Again @ f.f.23-b Chief’s Crown, he at 2 years old: 1st Breeders’ Cup Juvenile(G1), Norfolk S.(G1), Hopeful S.(G1), Cowdin S.(G1), Saratoga Special S.(G2); 2nd Futurity S.(G1)
At 3 years old: 1st Marlboro Cup Invitational H.(G1), Flamingo S.(G1), Travers S.(G1), Blue Grass S.(G1), Swale S.; 2nd Preakness S.(G1); 3rd Belmont S.(G1), Kentucky Derby(G1), Woodward S.(G1)

What a pedigree for mare, Magic Time (Hellbent – Time Awaits from Nicconi).

Star Kingdom 7S x 8S x 7D x 6D (Royal Artist (I am Invincible), Kaoru Star ) – Bletchingly 5sx5d + 6 strains of Olympia has the dominate @25 strains Hyperion, dam Selene f.f. 6-e. Hyperion thru distaff, 7th dam as grand sire + 4 strains to Chanteclair (AUS) The f.f. 6e also appears through Big Game & Mossborough to appreciate all, #Haplotype L3a1b.

Hyperion = the lazy little colt standing at 15.1 1/2hh with a huge popularity stemming from his lack of size. Hyperion’s trainer George Lambton was regularly suffering from bad-health and Lord Derby determined to retire Lambton post Hyperion’s popular Derby win as the smallest Derby winner since Little Wonder in 1840. The new trainer completely underrated Hyperion’s need for and his capacity for hard work and was half fit when going to Ascot for the Gold Cup where Hyperion ran third, with his last race running second. Champion sire for six times, siring 7 Classic winners, his greatest influence as a sire of broodmares inclusive: Alycidon, Carrozza, Citation, Parthia, Ribocco and Ribero. Hyperion was known for a delightful and lovable character. (Julian Wilson’s 100 Greatest Racehorses)

the ND son, Danzig – 5x5x4x5. Danzig = 28 strains St Simon – 7 strains Carbine – 2 Hyperion + Selene’s son Pharamond. @ Carbine/Spearmint appreciate where its Line infuses, the inheritance mitDNA @ Catnip, Mother Goose, Petition, Steady Aim. 10 strains Sainfoin.

Two more Haplotypes which are significant to the Magic Time pedigree are i) L2b1a, upon mare’s distaff family 3-g alongside family 1-W (Perfume, Lavendula family) – it belonging to Alycidon, (Danzero) & My Babu (Crested Wave) & ii) L1a, family 2f seen to Marsolve, 2x Round Table, Exbury, Atan male line of Kris. The L1a haplotype is akin to/of family 9c.

It is the Danzig and Bletchingly its families 7-a make for outstanding strains,, a familiar Australian cross. The Haplotype has L3a1a.

Having long considered Haplotype L4 (family 2h, Martha Lynn, distinguishes a peak trait quality to superior genotype pedigree, it determines or offers the genomic evaluation is affecting a desirable racing phenotype, noting the ‘pattern’ was already remarkable.

She (Martha Lynn) appears as the dam of Voltigeur (who through Vedette and Galopin is the putative great-grandsire of St. Simon), of Voltigeur’s sister Volley (grand-dam of Lord Clifden, who is the male-line of Hyperion), and of Eulogy, the dam of Clemence, who, in addition to being dam of Bend Or, is also grand-dam of the great racehorse, and important sire Carbine – credit https://issuu.com/international_thoroughbred/docs/itb_august2021/s/12865199

A core set of genes, G6PC2, HDAC9, KTN1, MYLK2, NTM, SLC16A1 and SYNDIG1, with central roles in muscle, metabolism, and neurobiology, are key drivers of the racing phenotype. https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-022-04206-x

Post Ripcord blog...always research & analysis continues to open new doors; depths by pedigree and esteemed inherited trait(s). Though persistence is application, the key what drives genotype ‘inner’ be it rare or recessive or other unknown is still overall, a flowering science.

Examining Haplotypes can provide an inner-wheel analytical: albeit carefully, it aids to make ‘indistinguishable’ – somewhere distinguishable, a breeding factor beyond. Though complexity is the order, to place such construct, is deciphering where rare or recessive traits are dynamo and not necessarily always ‘negative’ alleles variants, duplicated in-breeding as science publications take tendency to proclaim.

Tesio sought similar – the Mendelian character, recessive, or at least he astutely accounted for it.

Nature had a tendency to return the breeds to their original pure state. To me it was a revelation…

Mendelism – The Hybrid Horse (Tesio)

The Papyrus factoring becomes apparent ex-Ribot, Princequillo, Honey Buzzard dam of top-class sprinter Honeyway and Star Kingdom substratum Irish Eclipse – Harkaway factoring inheritance. The prototype, a phenotype with various organisms upon and screening Individuals that make it so.

The scarcity of Iberians, among others, in which group L is known from partial sequences to predominate, masks the fact that L accounts for 30-40% of the modern domestic horse population overall, commensurate with its share of the Thoroughbred population

https://www.bloodlines.net/TB/PedigreeMatters/Fams/TheTree.htm

ex- Lucky Sweynesse (link)overviews and further highlight’ Lucky Sweynesse has 8th dam/daughter by Papyrus, 10th dam by Orpheus from *Electra (see ref. *Electra to Star Kingdom from Ripcord blog)

I observed identifiable traits (characteristics handed down from generation to generation) clearly traceable to specific ancestors.

Bloodlines that continue to produce the very best (stakes) winners.
