  • Mating Analysis Liam's
    MATING ANALYSIS You may submit your mare online at lanesend.com or call 859-873-7300 to discuss your matings with CHANCE TIMM, [email protected], JILL MCCULLY, [email protected] or LEVANA CAPRIA, [email protected]. LIAM’S MAP Unbridled’s Song - Miss Macy Sue, by Trippi 2011 Gray/roan | 16.1 1/2 Hands Liam’s Map possesses a unique pedigree that gives him an outstanding chance of carrying on the male line of the great sire Unbridled’s Song. His second dam, Yada Yada, by Great Above, is inbred 2x3 to the great racemare and broodmare Ta Wee. That pattern of having a closely inbred ancestor close up, whether it be broodmare sire or along the tail- female line, is a pedigree pattern that has appeared repeatedly in the pedigrees of great racehorses and line-founding sires since the dawn of thoroughbred history, beginning with the horse generally considered the first great racehorse Flying Childers, whose full brother Bartlett’s Childers is the grandsire of Eclipse, tail-male ancestor of more than 95% of modern Thoroughbreds. The most recent example is the unexpected leading sire Distorted Humor, whose second dam is inbred 3x3 to Turn-to. Since Unbridled’s Song’s sire Unbridled is also inbred 4x4 to Aspidistra, through her immortal son Dr. Fager (sire of the dam of Unbridled’s sire Fappiano) and his half-sister Magic, by Buckpasser, Unbridled’s third dam, that means Liam’s Map carries four crosses of one of the most influential broodmares of the 20th century, Aspidistra. With any new stallion it is always a good idea to reinforce the most important strains of his pedigree, and it is abundantly clear that Aspidistra’s influence was critical to the excellence of Liam’s Map.
