Coterie Horse Pedigree

Coterie is ostensibly a descendant of the Whisker Msre which is Taproot Mare of Family 3-c, the bulk of Family 3-c descending via Coterie. However, mitochondrial DNA analysis has shown Coterie is actually unrelated to Family 3 as Coterie's descendants are mtDNA type A1 rather than the mtDNA type L2b1a of Family 3, evidencing that Coterie is not a direct maternal line descendant of the Whisker Mare

The best horses which descend from Coterie include Flowershop (1920 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches, Prix de Diane), Chance Shot (1927 Belmont), Vatout (1929 Poule d'Essai des Poulains), Verso II (1943 Prix du Jockey Club, Prix Royal-Oak, Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe),

Favoletta (1971 Irish 1000 Guineas), Old Country (1982 Derby Italiano, 1983 Prix Royal-Oak), Teenoso (1983 Derby, 1984 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes), Give Thanks (1983 Irish Oaks), Toulon (1991 St Leger), Harayir (1995 1000 Guineas), Rule of Law (2004 St Leger), Sir Percy (2006 Derby), Montare (2006 Prix Royal-Oak) and many other worldwide classic winners
