I) and Gulfstream Park Handicap (gr. I). Mshawish is a son of Medaglia d’Oro, who is one of the world’s most important sires, and who has also achieved the unique feat of siring Champion Two-Year-Olds in the U.S., Europe and Australia. On the distaff side Mshawish comes from the immediate family of Champion U.S. Two-Year-Old Filly Halfbridled.” Mshawish is a product of the hugely successful cross of Medaglia d’Oro and his sons over Mr. Prospector line mares, one that has produced no less than 29 stakes winners. The dam of Mshawish is inbred to Mr. Prospector, but these crosses will be in the fifth and sixth generation of his foals, and we can also note that there are already more than 30 grade one winners who carrying three cross of Mr. Prospector, so reintroducing this strain should not cause concern.

  • Windsor Knot Other Powerful Male Line Branches That Descend from the Remarkable Mare Special, Is One That Is No Stranger to Producing Notable and Major Stallions
    In short, the Pivotal branch of Nureyev’s line, just like the Windsor Knot other powerful male line branches that descend from the remarkable mare Special, is one that is no stranger to producing notable and major stallions. Pedigree Notes It is little wonder, therefore, that Rossenarra Stud’s dual pattern winner Windsor Knot has also done well at stud, by Sieglinde McGee and his results are made all the more notable by the fact he has far fewer runners than do most of his rivals. Some mares have had a profound influence on the His brightest star, so far, is the popular mare Euphrasia breed. One of those is Special (by Forli) and it is as the (dam by Lake Coniston) who was only beaten one and dam of Nureyev, and grandam of Sadler’s Wells and a quarter lengths and a head when third to the multiple Fairy King that her name has lived on in pedigrees, and Group 1 stars Noble Mission and Magician in the Group will continue to do so for a long time. 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh in 2014, this trio finishing 21 lengths clear of the fourth.

For more information on the services visit www.pedigreeconsultants.com, email [email protected] or call +1 859 285 0431. SHAMUS AWARD b.c. 2010 by Snitzel – Sunset Express by Success Express Shamus Award made history as the first three-year-old to capture both the Australian Guineas (gr. I) and the W. S. Cox Plate (gr. I). He was also precocious enough to be stakes placed over 1000m on his debut at two, going on to become a multiple graded stakes performing juvenile. Shamus Award is by grade one winning sprinter, Snitzel, the leading stallion son of Danehill’s Champion Sire, Redoute’s Choice, out of a mare by the highly-influential Success Express, also responsible for the current Leading Sire of Two-Year-Olds, Mossman. Shamus Award is one of a trio of grade one winners for Snitzel, the other two both being out of Northern Dancer line mares. Sizzling is out of a mare by General Nediym (from the Shareef Dancer branch, and a strain that could be particularly interesting here) and Snitzerland from a daughter of Fraar (by Topsider, a close relative to Sadler’s Wells, Fairy King and Nureyev). Considering the close relatives to Topsider we can note that Redoute’s Choice and his sons have sired eight stakes winners out of Sadler’s Wells line stallions, from daughters of Barathea, Blevic (by Scenic), Singspiel and Galileo.

Both these horses are confirmed fast-ground specialists - BATED BREATH finished fifth in last season’s Golden Jubilee Stakes on soft ground – which is 10lbs below his best mark. SOLE POWER was taken out of last season’s Nunthorpe Stakes due to good to soft ground conditions and is at least 14lbs worse on soft.
