Has Almahmoud had the greatest influence on classic winners?

Has Almahmoud been the mare that has had the greatest influence on the breed today through Northern Dancer,Halo,Cosmah, Natalma,and Queen Sucree? Somethingroyal is making her influence through Sir Gaylord and Secretariat on the broodmare line through the likes of A.P. Indy, Storm Cat, Gone West, and El Prado whose broodmare sire is Sir Ivor. Halo sired Sunny's Halo and Sunday Silence. Northern Dancer has had great influence through Sadler's Wells, Nijinsky II, Danzig,Storm Bird,and numerous other Northern Dancer line studs. Halo is making his mark as broodmare sire of Angel Fever the dam of Fusaichi Pegasus and broodmare sire of Rahy and the sire of Saint Ballado and Glorious Song. One would have to say Almahmoud, Somethingroyal,and Weekend Surprise are influencing todays runners similar to sires Northern Dancer, Mr. Prospector, Storm Cat, and Seattle Slew.

Hi Keith
I think Almahmoud is stamping her mark on the TB in a big way, especially through Danehill in our area and she will continue to do so.

Hi Mike!

On an international spectrum Danehill, Sunday Silence, Sadlers Wells, and Storm Cat have dominated and other than Sunday Silence they go back to Natalma. Giant's Causeway has Cosmah and Natalma in his pedigree both daughters of Almahmoud. In the United States Ashado who should be champion 3 year old filly is line bred Almahmoud.

Almahmoud without a doubt adds a lot to a pedigree especially through Natalma and Cosmah

It's a long time since we talked about this Keith, but time has only further confirmed the influence of this great dynasty.

Her sire Mahmoud's second dam is Mumtaz Mahal as Nasrullah's second dam is Mumtaz Mahal as Nasrullah is out of Mumtaz Begum the 2nd dam of Royal Charger. Almahmoud, Mumtaz Mahal, Native Dancer, and Nearco you sure see in a lot of pedigrees.
