When reviewing superior performers calling-in bloodlines, how they fire etc. it determines over time a screen shot of greater breeding, rather than the usual breeding.
A glance over sire statistics & what produce, demonstrates that great winners can come from anywhere. I myself, find the broodmare winners more so interesting.
Of the paternal siring lines there has the global might that of Nearco. There of, Northern Dancer – Mr Prospector – unless one may look to other unknowns of barely recognized countries which just may have an obscure siring line somewhere out-there (?)
Of course to wonder or employ such a notion says disaster: has not any sense to today’s template of economics – even though some may have tried to solve with else, in the past. But I am tempted to raise this subject, as sourcing some sort of stronger diversity is the now-ON-game.
It has been noted for some time and a question I have been asking of myself – why, certain odd strains have throwin’ INTO the configuration of pedigree.
These strains are soft, supporting, almost obscure but appear to contain differentiates which raise a pedigree to higher status.
I screened through ancestry and arrived at a conclusion that the genus-type breed (within itself back then) is the last & holding ‘screw’.
Old fashioned speak as I am….the breeding mechanics of Life & Nature, cannot maintain its specie without it.
It reminds me of how the early American history of horse-breeding became its own, stepping away from English bloods which did not measure up. In similar fashion this was/is the present success of German breeding and Japan’s success.
This is the nature of global progressive breeding, yet by nature, we shall find the circle returns to itself.
Now about things at home…
Turning pages through a sale catalogue I look for all the heavy weights of ‘old’ which do the right job through their descendants. That’s to say how the bank is filled in with the genetic strains in the right positions.
I had my watch on a broodmare several years ago and now see her daughter is breeding.
Her ancestry is rich potential where the main man Prince John directly infuses thereto, broodmare sire Desert Sun.
– yeah that’s Desert Sun sire of Sunline.
Checkout the pedigree, checkout the sire, his genetic locators and not ONE, repeat not ONE duplication of the Prince John/Princequillo/Prince Rose siring lines.
Shame.
But that, you see, is simply how you lose the potential.
The Autumn One is a longstanding, deep-rooted pedigree of strong ‘type’. One which hails from the finesse of French thoroughbreds.
The maternal, Aga Khan bred dam: Azmiyna (IRE) a 1/2 sister to Group 1 winner and deceased sire AZAMOUR.
Genetics challenge & change. We must see how the dice rolls via evolutionary typology pathways where expressing origins as a genus-type to suggest what is truer to the dams innate character.
The type or genus is never definable easy, however families through ‘strain’ inheritances and of co-relationship ‘branches’, will POINT to thoroughbred formative origins & conceivably explain the similarity of like upon like relationship(s).
The emphasis – estimate what compels, what ‘fires’. Best procedure is to operate from PATTERN, distinction. It is these patterns that ‘tap’.
The concept of ‘linkage of genes’, particularly in a homozygous dominant state, is a vital clue to understanding how powerful and prepotent dynasties can evolve. Ross du Bourg
The ancestral establishment; what takes ‘within’ strains. View, via MATCHEM/MARSKE. Screen inter infusion of contributing ‘strains’, the DNA of strain inheritance present to this day.
From history traditions, it is to ‘credit’ the Goldolphin Arabian. It is also nowadays discussed, the family numbers are not always correct(?)
Yet, the REAL issue is to identify characteristics – traits which appear to feature dam lines as her inherent qualities & as originated from an ancestor. This approach is to EXPRESS finest/purest/core to sporting a complexity – a natural arrangement, which goes through time itself.
The histogram chronicle has ancestral Young Marske mares indexed to strain/trait 7. Matchem indexed to strain/trait 4. Marske indexed to 8, his son Young Marske 12c.
Wider examination will expose a greater trait detail, but this will suffice for now.
The Autumn Sun sire: Redoutes Choice – enthusiasts of pedigree will keenly observe where Danehill sires dam Pas de Nom (USA) X Bletchingly (AUS) lines are 1 in same, through strain/line/ancestress Mowerina. And as is, Galileo’s 4th dam sire Espresso (GB).
The( ff-7a) index affiliates 7 strains. We adjudge these strains instrumental to developing genus & of homozygous nature. We again find ‘type/genus’ with deep commonality to that of (ff-4). Refer again the above.
Over & above conventional, the Northern Dancer paternal lines, we work from familial to engage the maternal cohesive, which is evident from the Samantha’s Choice (dam of Redoutes Choice)/Nijinksy/Relic (USA)/Raise a Native (USA)+ Blue Larkspur (USA) (refer Roberto) as ALL coming via the genus bloodlines, ancestral mares of Young Marske, sired by Marske. Refer above.
Software will assign algorithms per paternal replications.
The maternal pedigree expression should target genus prepotency domination, as the impact. After all, it is the female which leaves the Y trail.
The idea to capture is the collective dominancy foretelling destiny ahead. It emerges affinities.
Notice the dam, Azmiyna (ff-4i) alongside the 5th dam bloodlines. By genus-type the infusions shaping/moulding/infusing e.g. FF 7, 11, 12, 4. Look to Roberto (via Lear Fan (USA) FF 12C
So very often the how, towhere prepotency exactly is laid, or sits within the maternal closest pedigree rather than the gestalt impressions, or those dependent on duplications is the definitive factors which fine-tunes a pedigree.
Again refer to the subjects pedigree: Ribot 5Sx6D as where it positions.
Ribot – the most generous creator of international racing talent in our time, and whose produce is now almost completely tested. Franco Varola 1974
Summarizing, our assertion is any backbone pedigree via repetition/ paternal ‘configuration’ does not establish the ferocity.
But.. female complementary strains activate and solve genetic latency.
Co-strain via utilizing female family indexes is not merely pairing off.
The breeding maternal principle is to arrive upon a best possible solution for perfect specimen, rather than fashion product which commonly over boils too many a pedigree.
That’s it for now.

…..the subject of characteristics. While agreeing that both sire & dam play an equally important part in a horse’s genetic make up …….the grounds for believing that characteristics can be inherited THROUGH THE FEMALE LINE, more predominantly than the male. Thoroughbred Pedigrees Simplified – Miles Napier
Rip apart the pedigree, note what is obvious, & work through to what is not obvious, to unfold the invisible factor of an ‘aha’…..deduce what is folding in/out of the genetic mix of sires/generations. – TBL
Its a no-brainer pedigree to capitulate Nijinsky 4Dx4D with Miswaki 3sx4d. Head back further and you might just find a couple common factors, such as Native Dancer.
Should you head back even further you may find what’s turning the wheels: – Discovery (USA) And if you further turn the wheels there’s the supreme ancestress Mannie Gray (USA).
Mannie Gray is Mother Superior as was/is large-heart gene, Pocahontas.
In many ways superb potent sires Nijinsky/Miswaki may be enough to justify the whole pedigree. But its not… not for us anyway.
We are going to keep expanding out and take it up a few notches. Divulge more depth, more beautiful detail.
Namely…. how is the harmonic ‘tone’ set…?
7th dam….tapping a double-shot of French-bred Tourbillon, female family 13C* into the deep maternal roots. Interesting…
Note also the other infusion Auriban (FR) ff-13C.
Tourbillon, Auriban (american, Frizette-fame) trace to dam Shotover (GB) by HERMIT.
– yep, we are really digging out HOW indispensable traits/strains re-work upon genus type: they don’t die on ya’.
– i.e. core, nucleus mitDNA, (think about it)…… does IT make sense to see how the ‘type’ of the maternal dam is set?
The next important ‘marker’ is none other than the Princequillo of Princes siring lineage….(we, collectively place the sire lineage to a structural genetic realm all on its own). These ARE the ineffable ‘dose’. Bang, it goes…. right on, to the ‘collective’ taproot. So Im-port-tant to see elementary evolve, unravelling, spinning through.
Next marker: theancestress La Troienne (FR) ff-1x & as represented by Caerleon (USA), sired by Nijinsky) & grandam sire to subject, Sea of Class and ) + the dams sire of Miswaki, Buckpasser (ff-1x)
– Hope you shall see how knitting comes together!
NEXT up
Stradivarius (IRE) – Sea the Stars from Private Life (FR) by Bering (GB)
note again the legacy….Prince Bio (FR) 9Sx7Sx7Sx8Dx8D
Discovery (USA) 9Xx8Sx8dx7dx9dx8d
So far, TBL has failed yet to mention Nasrullah (ff – 9C). Pivotal to global breeding the melodies of pedigree, are well-infused by his, & nearest genetic relations.
That’s immortality folks, where inclusively crossed by Princequillo traits, which other good analysts already know. We won’t re-invent the pedigree wheel here….!!!!
Genetic frame-work to Miswaki (USA) exposes ‘marker’s’ and telling of the future.. again and again the pedigree grid revolves in ‘time’.
Identifying genetic connections with in pedigrees helps us to understand why some lines are perpetuated while others disappear. (If) …our objective is to design stakes-winning pedigrees, perhaps the next step towards achieving this goal is to identify valuable genes transmitted by influential mares. Ken McLean Designing Speed in the Racehorse
It is only by intense scrutiny of high performance individuals, the template they supply, a truer appreciation unfolds and reveals. There lies the truest thoroughbred in all its finery: the original genus trait so needed for its ability, existence, survival. – TBL
The work is 99.9% near done!
Now folks… despite all homework, frame-work here,….there goes the on-going complexity that ‘same’ is not about more of producing ‘same’.
Expression of parentage traits through their contemporary descendants is also comprehending a meticulous observation where a repressed gene may live to resurrect.
Hybrid vigour wants to be superior than what is already given. Its course is often unpredictable, defiant, working or un-working any finest pedigree yet stages ‘other’ plans to produce the perfect specimen from the ‘unknown’.
We notice the smallest miniscule ‘strain’ detail is possibly relevant; the ever slight detail which appears almost meaningless.
The ‘new’ generation is transfiguration, the place for bold breeders & breeding.
At TBL we’ve prior referred to scarcity. The mere fleck of DNA gene-dust that holds light appearing as ‘if’ sacrosanct, there is no real ‘defining’, nor can be accounted.
Its appeal…belongs to unconventional exclusivity, that of superior pedigree craftsmanship.
However in TBL fashion, I attempt to explain breed, the genus throw back, through historical insights belonging to thoroughbred antiquity.
Bold as paint & as sound as a bell of brass.
His good looks, excellent performances, and that he is full of the most successful winning blood of the day. (Of this distant genus)… finest and most perfect-shaped horses ever foaled.
He has been well described as “multum in parvo”; and most of his progeny were of the same character, having great power on short legs.
Of valuable addition(s) to the British stud – Gohanna’s blood comes down with great éclat to our time.
(his brother) one of the worthies that helped to lay the foundation of the American Turf.
The “classic” races fell to six of his progeny, viz., The Baron, Daniel O’Rourke, Knight of St. George, Warlock, Imperieuse, and Songstress, where BIRDCATCHER blood has also been transmitted to our time.
AND to this unique breeding interpretation….
That one has to fight against this production of the beautiful sham, even in the breeding of Thoroughbreds, one can see in many English studs which breed for the yearlings markets.
…..showy stock very seldom become also (best) breeding stock: they’re merely on account of the race tests. In any case, that breeding stock which has an important influence on the breeding of Thoroughbreds – it is a pity that through human sin muchgood material is wasted which was destined by Divine Nature to be chosen material.
What TBL concluded through enjoyable reads, was that from Eastern Europe, the tough breeders recognized the ‘lightness’ of the thoroughbred ‘blood’ as failing at survival; dose of robustness (in its truest sense) was Essential to maintain the species. Basically their observations came from Russian cavalry war-horse breeding. The problem was and still is, to an extent how those extreme bench-marks could be re-enacted.
How this weighs-in now… is to ‘recognise’ unique individualism – the law of averages (AEI) is misleading a dam’s potential, her ability to ‘unveil’ the hidden gem.
TBL returns this enlightenment to the subjects Sea of Class & Stradivarius. You are to remember pedigrees are not fixed, there is a momentum/progression of genus traits lifting.
To simplify refer their pedigrees – focus to the ff-20a to @ origins GHUZNEE.
