Romance Sea (ARG) 3 year filly – 2 starts 2 wins – G1 winner @ 2000m 2023 Gran Premio Seleccion.
Romance Sea by (Seahenge (USA) Scat Daddy from Romance Night (ARG) by Orpen (USA)- family 16-d. It is the sire’s (Seahenge ) first G1 winner. Her dam Romance Night, a multiple G3 winner 1400m – 1600m
Sire Seahenge – 2yo Champagne Stakes winner (G2) Stood in France 2019, he largely merits to his sire Scat Daddy, the world class potential to both dirt and turf.
A relocation for Seahenge @ Haras Vacacion, Argentina, found the greater opportunities for the stallion.
Seahenge is Sire of 3yo colt G3 winner Beauty Sea as seen below. Beauty Sea pedigree
It appears the G1 performer Romance Sea shall transcend her sire. The question what ignites superior breeding?
Her broodmare sire Orpen by Lure. Orpen sired numerous champions in numerous countries – amongst Australian bred, G1 South African sprinter War Artist, Irish bred Italian performer Orpello to the 2yo G1 French-bred mare Vorda alongside his produce as legacy to Argentina’s breeding circle. Likely however, it is Orpen’s 4×3 Natalma which breeds overall critical mass to Northern Dancer.
In such case and should it ever be as easy there are other distinguishing individuals, their influence as we note.
The dams distaff – family 16-g is (possibly) assigned by haplotype I2a or I2a1. By examination and it might be noted haplotype @ 16 family, are not all correct to, ancestral Miss Agnes lineage.
It shall become significant however unveiling pedigree by familial haplotypes bares the similarity to compel its influence. Predominately in this study, the haplotype ‘match’ goes with majority to family 4. (n.b. again a few, not all same, ‘4’)
The pedigree by Haplotype emerges a compatible influence upon I2a1 as refer: Seahenge (f.f. 4g), Stormbird male line (f.f.4j) – French Deputy (USA), Polynesian 4-i,+ Ramsinga (f.f.4-h) thereof Nearco (f.f.4-r) thru Northern Dancer.
Once again the superior racehorse dominance f.f. 9c as assigned haplotype L1a – the Mahmoud factor thru Northern Dancer, Nasrullah et al. It becomes more interesting where other or more striking individuals of this ‘nucleus’ family ie Prince Taj (FR) implodes a pedigree. Hence Mahmoud sire of Almahmoud distaff @ broodmare sire Orpen.
Orpen also may take haplotype influence thru French 3yo champion Herbager (f.f. 16-c). By pedigree it is a distaff with/thru Spion Kop/Spearmint/CARBINE
Highlight @ female family 2-h (assigned haplotype L4 ). To Romance Sea @ 4th dam sire El Escorial (ARG) by El Curaca (f.f. 2h) adding another influence through 7×7 Carbine (f.f. 2-h #haplotype L4. Rather El Curaca has greater dosage with the remarkable (ancestral) mare Martha Lynn/Martha’s daughters… .
No doubt, alleles ‘dominant’ are genetics which unveil truest of performers.
It is indeed captivating to observe their intricate yet potent correlation.
