Racing selections 070913 Tuesday There is a good chance that sooner or later Game On Dude and Flat Out will meet in a tussle of giants- it would be nice to see Wise Dan involved in this “dream” set to- but for the moment it may be of interest to examine the histories of Game On Dude and Flat Out- they both share a common female ancestor I would guess, because “Dude” is a 1-L item while Flat Out stems from the legions of legendary broodmare Chelandry- & the matron these two warriors tend back to was Illuminata, a brown foal of 1877 by Rosicrucian out of unraced Paraffin, a half sister to English triple crown winner Lord Lyon as well as Achievement, his full sister who won the 1000 Guineas as well as the St. Leger of 1867- Rosicrucian, sire of Illuminata, was noted as a stallion of speed and precocity - and he was a carrier of the Dick Andrews, branch of the male line of Eclipse- and it would be interesting if a brighter student of modern bloodlines would know if the Dick Andrews, line is still functioning in modern pedigree nomenclature- whatever the tale, both Phosphine and her half sibling Chelandry, have been the fountainhead of many champions- Forty Niner and Swale come to mind as represenative of Chelandry - & Street Cry, sire of Kentucky Derby hero Street Sense, is a member of the ff stemming from Phosphine (1-L) both families have many offshoots and are vital components of high valued yearlings etc.- Game On Dude is a son of Awesome Again, while Flat Out, is the offspring of 1-x (La Troienne) line sire Flatter, who was stakes placed, while Awesome Again, reached the highest of heights, taking away a BC Classic diadem back in 1998- the broodmare sire array for the two champions follows- Game On Dude Devil His Due Fast Play What A Pleasure Dr. Fager - the all important fifth dam is Princess Roycroft, the daughter of speed demon Royal Note- Flat Out Cresta Rider Double Jay Sailor Rosemont - the 5th dam herein was Omaya, by champion sire and broodmare sire Sir Galahad, the full brother of Bull Dog, sire of Bull Lea, the latter the sire of Citation, the most vaunted performer in the days following Man O War and before the advent of Secretariat- Flat Out, is inbred to Northern Dancer 4x3 while Game On Dude, is keyed to Raise A Native 5x5 The dosage tale reads: Game On Dude 8-0-6-0-0 DI: 3.67 GSV: 67.71 Flat Out 13-5-12-0-0 DI: 4.00 GSV: 64.16 Bloodlines students might be interested in a comparative study of Foxhall (1878) and Goldfinch (1889) two of the important principles involved in the evolution of Game On Dude and Flat Out- Worldly Pleasure, dam of Game On Dude, won a state bred stakes- while the dam of Flat Out, Cresta Lil, a Kentucky bred, won a couple of stakes including the Critical Miss Stakes- Beulah 1-5 2-3 3-4 4-3 5-3 6-4 7-4 8-2 Fairmount 1-8 2-2 3-1 4-2 5-6 6-3 7-8 8-2 Finger Lakes 1-3 2-7 3-7 4-8 5-8 6-1e 7-2 8-7 9-4 10-1e Fort Erie 1-3 2-6 3-1e 4-1e 5-3 6-8 7-7 8-6 9-6 Indiana 1-1e 2-11 3-5 4-9 5-8 6-3 7-1 8-8 9-5 10-2 Mountaineer 1-5 2-1 3-5 4-4 5-5 6-1 7-2 8-5 9-2 Parx 1-3 2-6 3-4 4-1 5-4 6-2 7-1 8-2 9-1e Presque Isle 1-2 2-1e 3-4 4-8 5-5 6-4 7-5 8-2 )H)
