Harry’s picks 120714 & bloodlines Every mare who visits the courts of Animal Kingdom or California Chrome will not be a Graded stakes winner- some may be the apple of their owners eyes banking that they can detect quality in their livestock invisible to others- the maid may be a half sister to this or that or from a particular family with a reputation for forwarding dynamic runners- the 13-C or the 1-x or the 16-groups of “Agnes”- this evening’s study mare is a recent winner of a mile and a 16th race in Florida which was run on the turf- Costenia is a ff 13-C lass and thus far in her career has won a couple of races- since she is by top stallion Giant’s Causeway x Kapanga x Hussonet- (the latter by Mr. Prospector x Sacahuista) and no doubt someday will find her way into “Valentino’s tent” her broodmare sire array is plain >Hussonet, 7 time leading stallion in Chile!>Wild Again valiant winner of the 1st breeders’ cup classic>Proud Birdie, one of history’s great long shots when he won the Marlboro Cup>Bayou Bourg, a horse seldom seen in any pedigree of attainments- but a son of big heart stallion deluxe Princequillo- the all knowing 5th dam Lets Misbehave by obscure Mighty Story but quality extends into the further reaches of the genetic soup with Count Fleet the sire of the 6th dam and big heart Belmont Stakes winner Blue Larkspur the sire of dam 7 Amaranth- Costenia is a mare thusly richly endowed with crosses to big heart studs Princequillo, Blue Larkspur and Mahmoud therefore it would seem a natural exodus over to the farm of California Chrome possessor of a huge WBH9GCF of “35”! California Chrome x Costenia x Giant’s Causeway brings forth a “foal” with a dosage profile of >2-1-11-0-0 and a index of 1.55 the inbreeding is centered on Mr. Prospector appearing 5x4x4 via Preach dam to Pulpit and Not for Love, dam sire to California Chrome and son Hussonet- that the “foal” hypothetical shows Cozzene x Rahy at 4x4 indicating a turf affinity if ever there was one- the foal also carries a WBH9GCF of “40” another stunning “CC” performance in that highly speculative statistic- Animal Kingdom strides forward to be “measured” with Costenia sets up Blushing Groom at 4x5 via sons Candy Stripers & Rahy- the dosage profile is >2-0-10-0-0 suspended from a index of 1.40 indicative a horse capable of traversing a mile or luckily more ground- Animal Kingdom with his endlessly fascinating pedigree brings Lorenzaccio who beat Nijinsky once I believe- as well as German bred typhoon Surumu as well as a crossed to High Line, the latter a horse who turns up many times in the best pedigree pages of recent moons- the WBH9GCF in this projected mating will be “19” – Many outstanding runners have come from mares of little “press” The dam of Mizdirection was 0 for 20- the dam – the dam of The Axe was Blackball, who never raced- as was the case with Clever Babe dam to stalwart chestnut mare Book Review, conversely Australia a champion in England is a foal of all star Ouija Board and War Relic was out of dynamic Friars Carse- and most horse people would rather have their mare adorned in black type and clippings of noble deeds then entering their mare sans credentials into the lair of yon stallion.
