The horse is linebred to Mr. Prospector, Northern Dancer, and Secretariat.
If one goes further back Fappiano appears on both sides of the pedigree as does the important broodmare Ruby Slippers.
Nevertheless, despite any theoretically advantage to all this subtle inbreeding, the horse has to buck his recent family in order to be successful.
His full brother, a 2yo this year, has just 3 works to his credit at this point.
Even worse, his 3yo half-brother (by Curlin) has yet to start and has yet to put more than a couple of works together in a row without large gaps in between. Started breezing in April of last year and his last recorded work was over a month ago at a training center.
