\"\"The North American-breds didn\u2019t have a chance in the Mrs. Revere S.-G2 at Churchill Downs on November 29. Favorite New and Improved (Cairo Prince) showed little, while Irish-bred Nay Lady Nay (No Nay Never) found her way to the wire first, followed by German-bred Dalika (Pastorius) and Irish-bred The Mackem Bullet (Society Rock). Anyone who played a Euro Bred fifty cent pick three was rewarded with $517.65, a pretty attractive return for an inexpensive box.<\/p>\r\n

Nay Lady Nay\u2019s sire, No Nay Never, is already a star with just his second crop, with a stud fee at Coolmore Ireland that has gone up from 100,000\u20ac in 2019 to 175,000\u20ac for 2020, after becoming the leading freshman sire of 2018. Among his first-crop stakes winners was Nay Lady Nay\u2019s full brother, Arizona, a Group 2 winner and Group 1 placed horse. Nay Lady Nay is out of the English Channel mare Lady Ederle, making the No Nay Never on English Channel mares cross a stellar one. Both Nay Lady Nay and Arizona are therefore 6 x 4 x 5 x 5 inbred to Mr. Prospector, and 7 x 6 x 6 x 5 x 5 to Northern Dancer, through an assortment of his sons including the excellent cross of closely related Storm Bird and Nijinsky II. Lady Ederle\u2019s second broodmare sire is Rainbow Quest, by Blushing Groom, providing another great nick, as he was closely related to Nijinsky II as well.<\/p>\r\n

In comparison, Dalika\u2019s pedigree demonstrates little of the high-priced and high-powered strength of Nay Lady Nay. She is by Pastorius, who stands at Haras de la Hetraie, in France, for a mere 5800 \u20ac in 2020, but he is an interesting stallion as he features 5 x 5 inbreeding to Nijinsky II, and 5 x 5 inbreeding to Lyphard, while Dalika\u2019s dams\u2019 side includes three more doses of Northern Dancer, through Sadler\u2019s Wells and Danzig, plus another dose of Lyphard, not to mention that extra, female dose of Northern Dancer\u2019s dam, Natalma, through Danehill\u2019s dam, Razyana.<\/p>\r\n

Third place finisher The Mackem Bullet\u2019s sire was the ill-fated Society Rock, who sired only a single crop of 2016 before succumbing to laminitis. By Rock of Gibraltar, a son of Danehill, with a pedigree that includes another dose of Danzig through his Champion son Chief\u2019s Crown, Society Rock\u2019s legacy was tragically cut short. Through the Mackem Bullet, however, he got a filly who is inbred 3 x 4 to Danehill, 4 x 5 x 6 to Danzig, 5 x 6 x 5 x 6 x 7 to Northern Dancer, and twice, 4 x 5, to the previously mentioned Razyana, who so complements all of the Northern Dancer in this pedigree, just as she did in Dalika\u2019s.<\/p>\r\n

The international flavor developing in North American turf racing provides an interesting counterpoint to the controversy over the dangerousness of North American dirt racing. With the latter under fire, world traveling horses bring added excitement to the former, plus added safety. We hope this trend continues, providing horses, riders, fans and betters with this thrilling alternative.<\/p>\r\n
