Résumé:
Sensational!
1. It is an triumphal procession of the second crop of Chapter Seven (Video). 5 Starters! And who expected the Garland Lobell line so strong 20 years ago?
2. It’s all about Garland Lobell and Valley Victory on the paternal side. That may cause some difficulties in the near future, because the line of Star´s Pride seems to have a difficult stand in Northern America. Only one entry comes from the most successful fatherline in the Hambletonian, that one from Europe (Ready Cash). However, in relative terms, many of the horses starting in the Hambo Elims are not, as is often the case, inbred in the first three generations.
3. The motherlines alternate as always in the Hambletonian. But with four entrys, Lizzie Witherspoon, the No. 8 of the world´s maternal lines, puts an exclamation mark. Minnehaha is no surprise, twice Miss Sears yet. The no. 1 maternal line worldwide, Medio, has no entry this year, but with Manchego in the Hambo Oaks the favorite horse.
4. Back to European influence: With some few offsprings, leading European (French) stallions like Love You and Ready Cash got horses to the Hambletonian. This could maybe a sign for the future, bringing back the lines of Star´s pride back to North America and be an alternative to the current corset. (Although our editorial believes that stallions like International Moni may be more suitable for the European market, especially Sweden).
5. Atlanta as the only filly tries to challenge the male concurrents. Continentalvictory was the last filly to beat the colts in 1996.
6. The pedigrees: Only 1 out of 18 horses is linebred 3x3 (You Know You Do) – unusual for the Northern American trotting breed...
Legend: M = Male, F = Female, G = Gelding; NA = Nothern America, FR = France, IT = Italy
Many Thanks to the great pedigree websites www.classicfamilies.net and www.worldwidepedigree.com, the latter assumed for Swedish interests from Canadian internet pedigree pioneer Norman G. Hall.
