Seekin Info on Cox's Ridge & 2 sons

[KBEquine]

I probably posted this in the wrong place on the stallion forum --

I'd love information on Cox's Ridge & two of his sons:

1. Trapp Mountain [stands in TX]. and

2. Sundance Ridge [stands in MA]

Specifically, any information on soundness [and soundness of their offspring], temprament, and what these horses throw would be appreciated.

We recently accumulated a couple of Cox's Ridge's grandkids & I'm trying to find out more about him & the above 2 sires.

Thanks.

Trapp Mountain:

Remembering that Tayyara's third dam Broderie was bred on similar lines to Cox's Ridge, and that her sire Targowice was by Round Table out of a Bold Ruler mare, it is instructive to consider the pedigree of U.S. Grade 1 winner Trapp Mountain. A son of Cox's Ridge, Trapp Mountain's own dam was by Round Table out of a Bold Ruler mare too; giving almost the reverse pedigree pattern to Tayyara. Furthermore Cox's Ridge's granddam was 3x3 to Friar Rock/Fair Play, who of course were 2x2 in the previously mentioned War Relic.

Cox's Ridge:

Conclusions About Optimal Broodmare Sires For Victory Gallop
Cox's Ridge's 3rd dam Galleon Gold is a full sister to Victory Gallop's 7th dam Big Beauty; in both cases the sister comes in the context of Turn-To. The other great thing about Cox's Ridge is that his best daughter, champion 3YO Filly Life's Magic, was out of a mare by Victory Gallop's focal point ancestor Tom Rolfe. Good ones combining Cox's Ridge and Tom Rolfe's son Hoist The Flag include Donn H (GI) winner Mongoose (he was 4x4 to Tom Rolfe through Hoist The Flag and another son named Salt Marsh), and Santa Anita Derby (GI) runner-up Video Ranger. Note also Cox's Ridge got two of his best sons, Out Of Place and Sultry Song, from a Damascus mare and a Damascus granddaughter.

...Broad Brush is a tall, rangy individual standing 16.2 hands and Mongoose's dam Salty Gal is by Cox's Ridge, a 16.3-hand son of the 17.2-hand Best Turn. That said, size didn't prevent any of the three from showing very good form as three-year-olds, with Broad Brush gaining seven wins from 14 starts at that age, Cox's Ridge eight from 11 and Best Turn six from 10. All three, though, were arguably

In 1985, Vanlandingham won the Eclipse Award for older males for another of the farm's modern clients, Mr. and Mrs. John Ed Anthony's Loblolly Stable. Loblolly's first important horse, Cox's Ridge, had entered stud at Claiborne in the late 1970s, and Vanlandingham was among his many distinguished sons and daughters. Vanlandingham was also the first champion trained by young Shug McGaughey, who later was hired to train the stables of Ogden Phipps and Ogden Mills Phipps
