2012 Crop Revisited: Rush Attack

Courtesy Carrot Club
This is one Louis was desperate to get hold of as soon as he saw the Carrot Club catalogue - a colt by Agnes Digital, who won all manner of big races on both turf and dirt in Japan and Hong Kong, racing no less than 32 times! He was sired by the quaintly named Crafty Prospector, who carried the blood of Mr Prospector in his veins. His dam was sired by Chief's Crown, who was the only horse to be favoured in all three US Triple Crown events and not win any of them. But a second and two thirds in these ultimate American races is impressive nonetheless, with his blood being a fine mix of Danzig and Secretariat DNA. Alleged blood is added into the gene pool via the female lines.

Mejiro Hilary was sired by the legendary El Condor Pasa, with Mejiro Dober as her dam. Mejiro Dober was also the mother of Mejiro Lourdes, who we've had as a dam for two of the horses I've bought stakes in. We've looked at these before, but need to note that El Condor Pasa's pedigree adds Mr Prospector into the equation once more, thus officially making this colt a Mr Prospector cross (3Sx4D).
