Just from the oven!

AFLEET EXPRESS (Afleet Alex) who won the 2010 Travers Stakes descends from Nasco (bay H 1955), who was a full brother to Bold Ruler.
Nasco is the 5th broodmare sire of AFLEET EXPRESS. This one is really
a rarity!

Did anyone mention CAPOT? He went to stud w/fertility problems and sired only 15 foals. I think he was co-Horse of the Year in 1946.

Jorge: WILL HAYS was a full brother to REVIEWER who was sire of RUFFIAN, et al. I think he stood somewhere out west.

I don't think his book was ever relished by the mainline breeding community. That was my point. I owned a very nice winning mare named Sci Sci. Her broodmare sire was WH. Unfortunately, we never got her in foal and subsequently she died from an apparent snake bite some years back.

Sorry to respond so late to your post.

Oh, for a moment I thought you were referring to
WILLS WAY but you are referring to WILL HAYS.

Would like to read more on this horse unknown to me, albeit I am aare of the excellent Reviewer.

Thank you so much for your posting.

SNARK (brown Horse 1933), a rarely mentioned durable top-quality stakes winner of the 30's is the 6th broodmare sire of HEY HEY HEY. This pedigree is also carrying the rare but also quite durable names of Degenerate Gal and Degenerate Jon

Equipoise28, Very interesting find that of ROSE CATHERINE.

MY DAD GEORGE (1967) these days.
He is present on PADDY OPRADO's pedigree.

http://www.pedigreequery.com/paddy+oprado



Browsing PADDY OPRADO's pedigree again made me uncover his very atypical maternal pedigree. Take a look at the names of the sires appearing on his 7th removed:

The most rare are with an asterisk:

ROYAL CHARGER
BLUE SWORDS
NASRULLAH
BULL LEA
ROSE PRINCE
PAPYRUS***************
BULL DOG
GOLD BRIDGE
DHOTI (GB)*************
BULL DOG
FLARES
BURGOO KING**********
RUSTOM PASHA********
DIADOQUE (GB)********
AMBIORIX (FR)*********
HASTEVILLE***********
BLUE PETER
ST MAGNUS************
FELSTEAD**************
TALKING(AUS)**********
NEARCO (ITY)
DJEDDAH***************
STALINO***************
OIL CAPITOL***********
BALLADIER
REQUIEBRO (ARG)******
PRINCE ROSE
MAT DE COCAGNE******
ROYAL CHARGER
BULL LEA
THE RHYMER***********
FRITZ MAISEL**********

Hope he finally becomes a sire because those names in
a single combo are really a Dream Team of good old names!

Captain Bodgit's third dam is by Sink not Sunk, a stakes placed son of Saggy.

Sink not Sunk... great find and good durable horse indeed.

Now this other case:

Seeing High Echelon in a pedigree is quite rare these days.
It's a shame because High Echelon was such a great sire of good fillies and mares. The lesson to be learned here would be, never take for safe any given lineage, not even the tail male lineages of Mr. Prospector and Northern Dancer.

This 10 yr old Charming Fella, who recently won his debut race at TP, descends from Prophet's Thumb, a Bull Lea stallion.

CHARMING FELLA http://www.pedigreequery.com/charming+fella

and his ancestor PROPHETS THUMB http://www.pedigreequery.com/prophets+thumb
Those were the days when horses with many starts were not necessarily
geldings like we see today.

Another good name in this pedigree is Ambiorix, http://www.pedigreequery.com/ambiorix
nice find too! (sire of Gray Phantom http://www.pedigreequery.com/gray+phantom )

Georgerz, thanks for the interesting addition.
