The Australian 2023 Victorian Derby winner (2500m) – Riff Rocket, the home-bred 3yo gelding & owned by Debbie (Winx-fame) Kepitis’s Woppit Bloodstock.
Riff Rocket has 7 starts, 4 wins, 2 places
Riff Rocket Pedigree by American Pharoah from Missile Coda (AUS) ex- Smart Missile (AUS). Missile Coda from the wonderful colonial family, ‘Rain Shadow’ f.f.C-7
Riff Rocket – an excellent well-designed pedigree, exploiting Hyperion and his dam Selene

– Fappiano 5×5, the true x-factor bred @ US elite performers. 20x St Simon, 8x Spearmint (Carbine), 5x Plucky Liege.
– Reine de Course mare **Crimson Saint – Grand-dam of Storm Cat (A.P.) & dam of Royal Academy (Fastnet Rock) f.f.8c
Selene and Plucky Liege had shown godlike domination and ascendancy over the marked majority in terms of their influence on the accelerated enhancement of the thoroughbred. 2) Deserved ‘deification’ as the supreme transformers (or uplifters or transmuters) of the breed. Ross du Bourg
@ matters pedigree – no surprise that this 2023 Victorian Derby winner carries the veins of the great New Zealand Derby sire Zabeel (Sir Tristram) through his grand-son Lonhro (AUS). (Zabeel’s influence – 2006 Efficient, 2014 Preferment, 2015 Tarzino, 2020 Johnny Get Angry)
@ American Pharoah strongly suggests his female ‘blood’ went to Hyperion through his grand-son Olympia by Heliopolis by Hyperion, key-conduit to pedigree. Hyperion (Gainsborough – Selene f.f. 6e). A Key individual shall heavily contribute to elite performance breeding.
– Riff Rocket @Dam-line Missile Coda find Selene, her 4×5 influence passes to sire, Sir Tristram. Sir Tristram 6S son Marauding 5D x 4D.
Sir Tristram: Champion Sire, 45 G1 winners of 140 SWs
Ross du Bourg
Sir Tristram continued to fire magic bullets with advancing age.
The Selene strains fall to Hyperion, Pharamond, daughter All Moonshine influences descendants Sir Tristram/Zabeel, Forli > First Consul, Scuff, Special & Star Kingdom (Stardust) >Todman, Biscay. Dark Jewel. Dark Jewel, Australia’s wonder broodmare – a most humble mare with a wonderful temperament produced nine individual winners from only 10 foals to race. Her best known progeny dam of Baguette, sire of Crown Jester 4th dam sire of Missile Coda. (Dark Jewel also produced Heirloom & Birthright (winners VRC Maribyrnong Plate) – full sisters to Baguette.)
More Hyperion influence note, Comic Strip (USA) the broodmare sire of Smart Missile brings in Olympia (Heliopolis) via 2nd dam sire Creme dela Creme (USA).
By Haplotype, the family lineage as it appears by Ped Tables, f.f. 6-e, has error. #L3a1b is the Haplotype dominant character attributes the elite racehorse, a phenotype critical.
As the Haplotype affixes #L3a1b the important contributor Todman (AUS) by Star Kingdom Stardust/Hyperion/Selene male-line and dam’s distaff f.f. 1-u, again the haplotype #L3a1b.💥💥💥
Endowed with an aggressively prepotent genotype Todman was the Champion sprinter and Australasian Breeding Legend (article)
Selene @ f.f. 6e, Oceana
f.f. 1-u, Crimson Saint f.f. 8c – #L3a1b Haplotype
Riff Rocket is a master pedigree. Yet more to the point, it displays the US sire ‘out-crossing’ with reinforcement back. As above, the L3a1b Haplotype reveals yet more concealed genetic potential.

Ken McLean ‘classic’ Axiom.
Genetic Influence from superior ancestors becomes diluted after one or two out crossed generations, yet when the same superior ancestors are reinforced in a single pedigree it allows for the recapture of the original source of classic speed. You must first duplicate the source, then go away from it, and then make sure it is reinforced again.
