Byerley Turk influences catalyse a smart pedigree. Innovative bred is the German 2yo filly Nicoreni by Brametot (Ire) from Nouvelle Neige (Ger) ex- Big Shuffle (USA).

  • A Lyphard tail-male to Nicoreni’s sire Brametot **LYPHARD 6SX4D > (N.D / Goofed by Court Martial > 5×5 Chouberski #BT > Formor (FR) & Biribi (FR)
  • 2nd dam by Alzao (Lyphard) (noteable b/m sire of Deep Impact (Jpn)
  • *Kaiserkrone – 7dx7D
  • *Kaiserwurde 7sx8dx8d – carries strain @ Chouberski
  • 5th dam by Chief (son of Nearco) carries strain @ Chouberski
  • Night Blue (Ger) 4th dam – 2x @ Chouberski
  • Nouvelle Fortune 2nd dam, – 5x @ Chouberski
  • Court Martial – 8sx8Sx6dx6d Goofed, Timalin, Authi (IRE)
  • Boldnesian – 5×5 + 8x8x6 Bold Ruler 3rd dam sire in Mendez (FR)
  • *Haplotypes – D1b (family 5-h Kaiseradler (Ger) & Konigsstuhl) & G2 (family 9-h inbreeding Alchemist, Arratos (Fr) + Alzao (Pocahontas (USA) family) + sire line Hoist the Flag > desc. Law Society 2nd dam sire Brametot

Please note to the above does not mean to exclude other evident Linebreeding individuals. At best, it is to profile the concentration to appraised Individuals.

Chouberski and full brother Codoman (FR -1897) designated family 28; a family gradually eliminated in the process of competition, amongst good-class horses in Europe. Chouberski was by the 1898 French Derby winner and good sire Gardefeu. Biribi, (Rabelais – La Bidouze ex-Chouberski) who had a deformed foot was sequestered 1940 in WW II, recovered in 1946 and died that year. ( ref, Leicester – Bloodstock Breeding)

Over the years, many articles have presented significance of the Byerley Turk fate in the context of diversity in Thoroughbred breeding. The rise and fall of major sire lines have sparked many a discussion; further precocious ability particularly comparing the Byerley Turk to the Northern Dancer and Nearco sire-bred speed influences. However, it is important to recognize that these comparisons may be based on weak suppositions tailored to fit other unknown factors. It is worth considering whether the relative lack of attention to the Byerley Turk lineage, when compared to an over dominant drift of the Darley Arabian, has contributed to this situation. The preservation of the Byerley Turk and Godolphin Arabian sire lines within the Thoroughbred breed is an important topic that deserves serious consideration. Selection of future breeding foremostly lays upon daughters, mares. Principally, Byerley Turk daughters turned out first-class broodmares.

Contemporary pedigrees, @BT saturation, is the key.

Profiling awareness upon the Byerley Turk and alongside science should install confident objectivity. https://www.racingpost.com/bloodstock/features/qa-professor-emmeline-hill-tells-us-more-about-her-inbreeding-study-aeJY49u2rdwB/

With good planning, superior breeding models may further develop – a focus upon noteworthy sires with female daughters, as go the individuals by their strains utilizing necessary & or desirable profiles.

What a Horse…

Equinox – His Brillance…

  • Sixth Group 1 win
  • Prizemoney and earnings beyond $28mill
  • Highest earner in Japanese racing history
  • Timeform Rating of 136
  • Japan Cup 2400m -@ 2m21.8s (58kilos) & Dubai Sheema Classic 2410m @ 2m:25:65 (track record)
  • His Japan Cup win has 4 lengths on 2nd place-getter, the star-filly Liberty Island, a Triple Tiara 3 year old

quotes of Equinox jockey, Christophe Lemaire 👇👇👇

✔️Top horse, champion horse adapt to any kind of race and to any surface or ground

✔️Coming into the straight I had an adrenalin shot

✔️I realized I rode perfection.

✔️It’s something I can’t really explain….

The Pedigree Expert stuff….

Even though an ancestor may be well back in a pedigree pattern, if it is a dominant ancestor, it will maintain its effectiveness for many generations, especially if close relatives reinforce similar biochemistry. (Ken Mc Lean)

(*Equinox / Lyphard 5S x 5s x 4D) Lyphard f.f.17-b @Haplotype L3a1a + Sunday Silence dam’s lineage has 2 strains @f.f.17-b Hillary &Free France @ Haplotype L3a1a

Lyphard by Northern Dancer (f.f.2d Haplotype L2b1/L2b1a) from Reine-de-Course mare Goofed (Court Martial) has 5×5 Chouberski. Chouberski f.f.28 – a Haplotype L2b1/L2b1a.

Bruleur , sired by Chouberski (FB credit – Horse racing Legends (post July 31 2021)

Bruleur – 5×4 Dollar (**The Flying Dutchman) – 5×5 Hermit

Footnotes:

Byerley Turk‘s St Simon (Galopin by Delight) male line – 4×3 **The Flying Dutchman (discussion & research Link, here).

It is interesting and further importantly noted that Byerley Turk, Herod’s branch, has affinity with Haplotype mares L2b1a @ female family 3 (there is however one exception).

Remarkably the affinity by Haplotype L2b1/L2b1a is also that of contemporary breed-shaper Northern Dancer, Danehill, Halo, Machiavellian.

By example, the Haplotype’ ‘pattern’ affinity is demonstrated neatly through pedigree: Hurry On, a f.f.2-d by Marcovil by f.f. 3-k) + 8x Pocahontas f.f.3n. 4s x4s Hermit by Newminster f.f. 8, its lineage a Mare by Byerley Turk.

The female family 8 branches (again an ‘8’ exception exists) assigns Haplotype L3a1b. Science indicates L3a1b, a racing phenotype performance critical. L3a1b has 6-a, 6-e, 1-u.

Equinox’s dam Chateau Blanche, f.f. 16-b, assigned Haplotype L3a1b.

(n.b. whilst Haplotype(s) are distinguishing key markers it is not to take a rigid view; they serve workings & feasibility)

Luxembourg (IRE)

Check out the calendar-date for the Epsom Derby and to favourite contender Camelot’s 3yo colt Luxembourg (IRE).

Luxembourg’s latest run to finish 3rd from rear in the 2000 Guineas field shows lots of promise to make it a Derby win. (race video)

A lot like grand-sire (Montjeu IRE) the powerful drive & as does Luxembourg’s power stride has that similarity.

Great things to come, his hindquarters look spectacular!

Luxembourg’s maiden grade dam Attire; by the wonderful Danehill Dancer, her sire bloodlines, are ones we highly value anywhere.
Danehill Dancer – a Champion 2YO in Ireland, Champion sire in Great Britain and Ireland in 2009 and Champion broodmare sire in Great Britain and Ireland in 2016. DD’s dam by Sharpen Up (Leading Juvenile sire in England, leading Broodmare Sire, Sire of 83+ SW and 10 Champions) daughter, further b/lines Caro, Dancer’s Image and Olympia are influential traits.

Breeder/producer Attire has produced G2 winner Leo de Fury (Australia) and G3 placed filly Sense of Style (Zoffany). Luxembourg has a yearling full-brother, where he was Magnier sold – €1,200,000.

On pedigree matters – Luxembourg brings 3×4, double Danehill, – yet what compels, are greatest veins deep. Extraordinary inheritance familial: the critical mass building in/thru/up equals = superior genotype. They are Ksar daughters ie Wood Violet, Advertenaia (+ more etc).

The Bruleur line had a powerful post WWII revival in France with the outstanding Tourbillon, who threatened to become, at a time, the dominant influence in world breeding. Its offensive has since ebbed, it is still diffused at the highest level in most breeding areas.

Varola

Ksar sire of Tourbillon (Marcel Boussac foundation sire) to his sire Bruleur, grandsire Chouberski they’re majorly dynastic influential and of descendant to Byerly Turk (book)

The potency as seen to Lyphard’s dam Goofed (5×5 Chouberski) and Brazil bred, multiple G1 winner & classic sire Troyanos (Bruleur) 7S x 8D x 6D x 9D x 9D. 

(n.b. I since found template pedigree a perfect example, the Francois Dupre (& FR breeder of Tantieme) mare named Solitude. Notable wins Prix Morny (FR-G1), Poule d'Essai des Pouliches (FR-G1), Prix Saint Alary (FR-G1). Oddly (?) her sons, 1 sent to Japan and the other Lavinsky (IRE) came to New Zealand! )

Ksar spend 13 years at stud in France and then went to America, where he died three years after arrival, too soon to have an effect on American breeding.

Luxembourg – Ksar – 9d x 9D x 8d x 9d, Tourbillon – 9S x 9S x 8D x 9d x 9D

Ksar‘s line compound & those daughters shall impact like a tsunami.

Ksar was one of the chief architects of the excellence of the French middle distance Classic thoroughbred that was to be revealed in such sensational fashion…

Peter Willett


Luxembourg’s grand-sire Montjeu – fierce

The ideal that the French breeder aimed at from the 1860’s to the 1950’s was the horse capable of excelling over 3000 metres in June of his three year old season. They where Ajax, Teddy, Bruleur, Alcantara II, La Farina, Sardanapale, Ksar, Brantome, Sicambre, Vieux Manoir, Djebel and Tantieme – all bred with that ideal in mind.
