MENDELSSOHN (USA)

Mendelssohn’s pedigree carries several elements which should work beautifully with many lines available to him in Australasia. Mendelssohn’s sire Scat Daddy is inbred to Mr Prospector 4 x 2 through daughters. Introducing sons of Mr Prospector in mares’ pedigrees is a proven pattern for Scat Daddy, who has produced five Gr 1 winners (including No […]

A son of the great Galileo, examining the pedigrees of the 60 (at time of writing) Gr1 winners by his sire can give us a strong clue as to how he will work. A very significant 16 of them are out of mares by DANEHILL directly (including World Champion, Frankel) or his sons. Interestingly, three […]
