    STALLION SYNOPSIS: IRISH SURF PREPARED BY: ALAN PORTER PREPARED FOR: THOR-BRED STABLES Pedigree Consultants are able to help you in all facets of your thoroughbred investment. Not only are we able to proven mating advice but we are also able to advise on mare selection, management and promotion of stallions, and selection and purchase of racing and breeding stock. For more information on the services visit www.pedigreeconsultants.com, email [email protected] or call +1 541 590 3303 or +1 516 528 6559. IRISH SURF A track-record breaking graded stakes winner, Irish Surf is by three-time Leading Sire, Giant’s Causeway. The outstanding son of Storm Cat, both as a racehorse and sire, Giant’s Causeway is now a major sire of sires, with eight of his sons having sired grade one winners. Irish Surf’s dam, Champion Three-Year-Old Filly Surfside, is by Seattle Slew out of Champion Two-Year- Old Filly Flanders, and is three-quarters sister to grade one sire Flanders Fields. The cross of Giant's Causeway and sons with Mr. Prospector line mares has been a tremendously successful one, with more than 150 stakes winners. Irish Surf’s second dam is a Champion by Mr. Prospector son, Seeking the Gold, and as Giant’s Causeway sired Champion Two-year-old Filly Take Charge Brandi out of a mare by Seeking the Gold, duplicating that strain is worth considering. Sources of Seeking the Gold that particularly appeal are Mutakddim and Cape Town (both reverse crosses to Surfside). There are seven stakes winners, two grade one, by Giant’s Causeway out mares by Kingmambo, and there are also four stakes winners, one grade one out of mares by Kingmambo son, Lemon Drop Kid, a reverse cross to Surfside.

  • Pedigrees: a Practical Approach
    Pedigrees: A Practical Approach TOBA Pedigree & Conformation Clinic Saratoga Springs, NY Suzi Shoemaker, Lantern Hill Farm 1 Ordway Pampered Princess Dreaming of Anna Capt. Candyman Can Welcome to Saratoga and TOBA’s pedigree clinic. I’m Suzi Shoemaker, of Lantern Hill Farm in Midway, KY. This morning I’ll discuss current thoroughbred breeding trends and encourage you to use practical horsemanship in your pedigree evaluations for breeding or buying thoroughbreds. I’ve been privileged to make my living breeding and selling racing thoroughbreds since graduating college and moving to KY from upstate NY in 1978. Along the way I’ve bred, raised or sold the likes of Eclipse Champion Dreaming of Anna, as well as Grade 1 winners Capt. Candyman Can, Pampered Princess and Ordway. 2 Hepburn and HER SMILE (G-1) in 2008 I’ve also been fortunate to care for horses for some of the country’s leading race horse breeders, and benefitted from living with their mares and foals and seeing diverse breeding philosophies put to the test. The best recent example of that is Mr. William Backer’s mating of Include to Capote’s daughter Hepburn which produced 2011 Grade 1 Prioress Stakes winner Her Smile. And while money from horses I bred and sold funded the purchase of two farms, I now have the great fortune to race some home-breds and find out first hand how certain traits fall out of pedigrees onto the race track. 3 Variability is decreasing in our gene pools Worldwide dominance of Northern Dancer-Mr. Prospector cross Increased book sizes for small number of Kentucky stallions Few new imports of outcross sires Speaking from that perspective, I’d like to share three observations about today’s pedigrees that might help you succeed at the track or the sales.
