The American Thoroughbred Review published an article about five years ago about unheralded pedigree influences that leads with Ack Ack. (probably that alphabetical thing now that I think about it).

I think Ack Ack is the last of the line of the brilliant Colin by Domino. That line held on for a century. I don't know if any of his sons is still around. Sir Ack had a son that bred a few. That great line is barely a thread.

Flying Target who is deceased at least I think.
He has very few and alot of them where sprinters. Small horses though.
My filly has Ack Ack in her.

Too bad it's not around anymore and was not archived but back in 1995 I did a long in depth article on him for Hugh Finn's horse racing page. He was one of the last direct male line descendants of Colin.

Theres a stallion in Fl with 100 starts ( according to the PQ) that has ACk ACk in him through Broad Brush too. I think Brushing Up is his name.

Include has a younger full brother, Encaustic, who was still racing last year. Does anyone know if he is at stud now?

I remember that another Broad Brush son, Concern had some fertility problems (at least I think I remember that) but he had a couple full brothers. I don't know what happened to all of them, but last I heard, Lucky Clone was still standing in PA.

Unfortunately, Best of Luck was sent to Morocco & I'm not sure where Mabry's Boy is, these days.

I don't think Concern's problem was fertility but rather the performance of his get.

I have a concern daughter o/o a Dixieland band mare o/o a Mr P mare and I'm hoping Concern turns out to be a better producer of brood mares than race horses.
