Almanzor, Wootton Bassett

Breeding progression many a time came upon unforeseen circumstances with alongside its individuals.

9,9️⃣ not considered reputable by a System numbering, the Bruce Lowe Families no. 9 given to the chestnut horse Cyllene – a stallion exported to Argentina whose genetics thereof, opened and developed economic speed with stamina.

Of new interest, it was recently noticed pedigree ‘Experts’ have reallocated one particular line now classified, as pedigree number, to a family 61. (n.b. possibly (from memory) it formerly, family 6-x ?)

As fallen, the numbering pedigrees of old, our Aficionado readers just might sight the no.61 Family of very little significance. But heck no...

Mat de Cocagne (FR) (1948), family 61!

Mat de Cocagne (FR) (1948) – a sire sent to Brazil

Mat de Cocagne’s breeding has 4×5 Chouberski & 5×5 Polymeus (Cyllene).

Peculiarly, so very few of this distinctive in-cross line(s) shall appear today. Let’s remember Chouberski also flows doubly to the veins of the great sire in Lyphard through his dam, Goofed.

And…Polymeus, is the stayer blood of Cyllene which thus comes back on this Family 9 to G Haplotype progressing ‘variable’ availability.

By summing overall, pedigree integrity appears through genetic sameness to its versatility in superior elites. Again… are best to appear in and through superior numerous variance.

@TBL

Importantly, we really need to engage how this ‘superhot breeding’ also went tragically limited, exterminated or exiled duly then, from eastern-european ‘war’ blocks – their well-established studs upon the demolition were as developed from finest French bred lines ever.

Motan (chestunut 1942) won the Roumanian Triple Crown. Motan was a stocky, close-coupled chestnut by Firdaussi ✅. (to note the Cyllene male-line and Cyllene distaff https://www.pedigreequery.com/motan

With such breeding by the past, enters the Future.

To profiling the Wootton Basset son and sire Almanzor (FR) producing the 3yo G3 winning filly Gezora. https://www.pedigreequery.com/gezora and with notable citing to Mat de Cogne (FR) goes to 2nd dam sire as Gezora’s broodmare sire, Silver Hawk (USA), a son of Roberto. (ref. https://www.americanclassicpedigrees.com/silver-hawk.html

The TBL last post references sire Wootton Basset, a genotype producer towards breeding Haplotype necessity…His son Almanzor with notable victories, stands at Cambridge Stud New Zealand.

Almanzor the European 3 year old champion victories are as follows…

Prix de Guiche (G3, France)

Prix du Jockey Club (G1, France)

Irish Champion Stakes (G1, Ireland)

Champion Stakes (G1, UK)

Prix Guillaume d’Ornano (G2, France)

Gezora’s dam Germance (USA) was a G1 performer at 3 years old (2000m). She has, – 3×4 Round Table (Princequillo) + 3×5 Hail to Reason. She comes from a Count Fleet distaff Fleet Flight whose dam by Bull Lea (Bull Dog/Teddy x. Spearmint).

For greater progression… figure through firstly, the deeper Dominance – it propels G Haplotype @Bay Ronald/Cyllene – a Family 9.

And, Nijinsky whose grand-dam Flaming Top by Menow male line 4x5x5 Cyllene.
