Endorsement

Postby diomed » Fri Apr 23, 2010 6:01 am

He has a fascinating pedigree to me.
Balanced linebreeding to Nashua, Nasrullah, Hail To Reason, Turn-To, Native Dancer, Unbreakable, Polynesian. The dam is loaded with La Troienne and there is some very interesting Frizette clan accumulation going on. Have many horses ever had Mr P, Slew, Djeddah AND Cardanil combined in their tree? Wow!!
(Oh, he also has Aristophanes and Migoli to supplement the Lady Josephine build up)
Compare Djeddah and Cardinil once. Very interesting stuff.

It is a very interesting pedigree. When he retires you would love to see him cover mares in Argentina. Take a look at him with Easing Along mares!

So true Byron..I completely forgot that Easing Along was producing horses in Argentina...

Just for fun, I crossed him with a couple female progeny on the database.
Check out the mating with For Me Cat. That was my favorite so far.
(of course, I had to hunt for a Myrtlewood descendant..lol)

I really hope Endorsement makes it back to racing but somehow I doubt it. Too bad. He was a nice horse with huge potential.
