Tough. Subject super star gelding Romantic Warrior – (Acclamation – Folk Melody by Street Cry) 18 starts, 13 wins.
“I’m speechless, he’s awesome. He was beaten at the 600m but he just finds a way. It’s incredible. I dead-set didn’t have one thing go my way. I had 10 riders dead-set against me and the horse. I just had no favours. 1000m from home, I was finally having a rest and one took off and at the 600, he was off the bridle and struggling in the ground a tad and he just picks up. I’m just in disbelief.” James McDonald on Romantic Warrior (credit FB Racing World)
Acclamation sire of sire, Dark Angel – https://www.pedigreequery.com/dark+angel9 & Mehmas https://www.pedigreequery.com/mehmas and comparable to Romantic Warrior, goes cross, the blood of Machiavellian, sire of Street Cry.

*Blenheim II was one of the most significant sires imported into America in the 1930s and the first of three Derby winners sold by the Aga Khan to America. A proven sire in Europe, he is one of the few stallions to have offspring win both the English Derby (*Mahmoud) and Kentucky Derby (Whirlaway and Jet Pilot) https://www.tbheritage.com/Portraits/Blenheim.html
– Cohoes (USA) by Mahmoud > (Singspiel, 2nd dam sire) + Nasrullah from the Blenheim mare Mumtaz Begum & Royal Charger’s 2nd dam + Lorenzaccio’s 4th dam Dalmary by Blandford & again Blandford grand-son tail Big Game, Lorenzaccio’s 2nd dam sire ++ Blandford daughter Wild Violet dam of Wild Risk sire of Le Fabuleux 5th dam sire.

**5×5 Halo by Hail To Reason takes 3 x Spearmint daughter Plucky Leige, 5×6 Fair Play. The dam Cosmah – 5×5 Spearmint via sons Chicle & Over There (IRE)
Hurry On – English TB & #GA male line extinct… was/is potent sire which factors b/m sire Court Martial, Sassafras > Precipitation, 8x Hurry On > Coryana dam of Wajaab. Hurry On daughter Devon Lass is 7th dam to sire Acclamation.
With Heart of the Dragon, the true potency finds jockey James McDonald in disbelief. He is the ultimate racehorse perfect called Romantic Warrior.
