Highest number of superior grays within 5 gen's

Postby Jorge » Sat Feb 11, 2012 7:22 pm

Can you find a superior-racing gray sire with a higher number
of superior-racing gray male ancestors within his first 5 generations
without repeating inbred names?

Here is my candidate:

SIBERIAN SUMMER (Gray H 1989) http://www.pedigreequery.com/siberian+summer

He is carrying:

01. SIBERIAN EXPRESS
02. CARO
03. FORTINO
04. GREY SOVEREIGN
05. WARFARE
06. DETERMINE
07. ICECAPADE
08. NATIVE DANCER

Can we find a name with more than eight (8) sources?

She is carrying like a "dream team" of gray ancestors:

01. SIBERIAN SUMMER
02. SIBERIAN EXPRESS
03. CARO
04. FORTINO
05. GREY SOVEREIGN
06. WARFARE
07. DETERMINE
08. ICECAPADE
09. NATIVE DANCER
10. SWING TILL DAWN
11. GREY DAWN II

Here are a few - not sure if they fit your criteria of best gray ancestors, though. I started by looking for grays with both parents gray, since that automatically gives you 10 horses.

Mekko Hokte (2000) - 21 grey ancestors, 17 unique horses.
http://www.pedigreequery.com/mekko+hokte

Holy Bull, Sharon Brown, Al Hattab, Agathea's Dawn, The Axe, Abyssinia, Grey Dawn, Mahmoud, Abernant, Polamia (10)

Aerosilver, Relaunch, Silver in Flight, Foggy Note, Silver Series The Axe, Silver Song, Cat Hat, Mahmoud, Beadah, Michiquita (11)

Wild Fit (2003-2006) 18 unique horses.
http://www.pedigreequery.com/wild+fit

Wild Wonder, Carol's Wonder, Pass the Tab, Al Hattab, Dantina, The Axe, Abyssinia, Gray Phantom. (8)

Grannie's Feather, At Full Feather, Gran Emotion, Spectacular Bid, Gran Zar, Spectacular, Tap the Till, Promised Land, Native Charger, Roan Beauty. (10)

Thomas Jo (1995) 16 unique horses.
http://www.pedigreequery.com/thomas+jo

Strong Performance, Jig Time, Extra Alarm, Native Dancer, Kanace, Blazing Count, Geisha, Kanlast, Obedient, Miyako, Last Light, Mahmoud. (12)

Advancette, Iron Constitution, Iron Ruler, Obedient, Mahmoud (5)

I'll keep looking.

Thank you very much for your valuable watch.
Thanks to your posting I realized that Wild Fit full brother,
sire FUSAICHI ROCK STAR can be studied whenever he is
crossed with another grey mate. Thats exactly what I did with his progeny and found his son

HESUPINTHESMOKE http://www.pedigreequery.com/hesupinthesmoke
He is not a stakes winner yet but I will keep looking.

This is gelding HE”SUPINTHESMOKE’s status: (But he is a gelding and not a stakes winner, which means that he can't hold the record)
Anyway, lets analize his case just in case a future gray full brother of him appears.

01. FUSAICHI ROCK STAR
02. SMOKE GLACKEN
03. AT FULL FEATHER
04. TWO PUNCH
05. ICECAPADE
06. PASS THE TAB
07. SPECTACULAR BID
08. GRAN ZAR
09. AL HATTAB
10. GREY DAWN

So, the entire stakes winner, FLY TILL DAWN
still prevails until now with 9 satkes winner.
But it seems to me that a future gray entire stakes
winner by FUSAICHI ROCK STAR may establish a new
record. Lets hope.

http://www.pedigreequery.com/fly+till+dawn

01. Swing Till Dawn
02. Grey Dawn
03. Carwhite
04. Caro
05. Fortino
06. Grey Sovereign
07. Palestine
08. The Axe II
09. Mahmoud

Any attempt to break the record?


NEW RECORD HOLDER AMONG MALES!
HIS NAME IS:
FUSAICHI ROCK STAR http://www.pedigreequery.com/fusaichi+rock+star
He is carrying gray-male stakes winning doses from:

01 Native Charger
02 Promised Land
03 Gray Phantom
04 The Axe II
05 Native Dancer
06 Al Hattab
07 Icecapade
08 Pass The Tab
09 Spectacular Bid
10 Gran Zar
11 At Full Feather
12 Wild Wonder

I guess that since this pedigree is lacking
several mainstream gray names such as Holy Bull, El Prado,
Monarchos, Caro, Relaunch and a few others, a new
record-holder can be easily assembled by merely finding a son of
FUSAICHI ROCK STAR carrying several of these grays.

LINDA REGINA is not going to break SWING IN SATIN’s record of 13 superior gray male ancestors, for a mare, but certainly sufficient combo of gray males in 5 generations:

01. Linamix
02. Mendez
03. Highest Honor
04. Bellypha
