Well, one reason he might be getting foals who want to run long is that quite a few are linebred to either Zabeel or Sir Tristram:

Pinot -- dam by Zabeel
Cabierro -- 2nd dam by Zabeel
Pierata -- 2nd dam by Zabeel (plus Sir Ivor via Grand Luxe)
Pissaro -- dam by Galileo, 2nd dam by Grosvenor
Pierrocity -- 2nd dam by Sovereign Red (by Sir T)
Satin Slipper -- 3rd dam by Kaapstad (plus Sir Ivor via Grand Luxe)
Noviero -- 3rd dam by Sir Tristram
China Gale -- 3rd dam by Grosvenor (plus Sir Ivor via Grand Luxe)
Pierone -- dam by Filante (NZ) whose dam is by Sir Tristram
Princess Pierro (placed as a 2yo) -- 3rd dam by Bates Motel, by Sir Ivor

That's 9 out of his 20 winners so far, and 3 of his 5 stakes horses.  If you count Tulip's 3rd dam Grand Luxe by Sir Ivor and Princess Pierro, that's fully half of his winners and 80% of his stakes horses so far are linebred to Sir Ivor, Sir Tristram, or Zabeel AND 60% of his stakes horses have Sir Ivor through the Ciboulette family.  It's quite astounding to see how strong that cross is even at this early stage. 

Pissaro and Levendi also both trace back to the Sound Reason (CAN) mare Sellou.

Again, my gut feeling is that he's throwing to his damline and his damline REALLY REALLY REALLY likes Sir Ivor!

Sellou was s 3/4 sister to a horse my father raced called I Will. I have tried to buy s couple of descendants of this family line over the years unsuccessfully. Always had faith in the line, including Roman Emperor.

Well at least we can say now that Pierro can certainly get a good galloper.  Just a bit different to most Golden Slipper winners.  His seem to want a mile plus but then his pedigree suggested that.

He's getting runners, which he SHOULD be doing with the mares he saw....and in saying that, the only other stallion in his crop who is getting the same level of consistent class is Reliable Man.   They're going up against horses by Redoute's Choice, Fastnet Rock, Snitzel, Exceed and Excel, and Street Cry, and holding their own.

Finished out the Flemington carnival with three stakes winners and one more running 4th in two stakes, with all of them progressing as they stretched out in distance.

Pinot's race was the most impressive...but I'm curious to see how Pissaro will turn out after a spell and another 3-4 months of maturing.

Not only with winners but also some top line horses like Pinot.

They're showing up in city races mid-week and showing up and winning all over on Saturdays, from metro to country.

I am surprised at just how hard he's throwing to his damline, and also kind of surprised at how his rival All Too Hard (who got better as he got older) has had only 1 winner since the 20th of November.

I'm confused KM.

You point out that so many of his superior performers are line-bred to Sir Ivor, Sir T or Zabeel, which is of course his sire line.  And then you suggest he's throwing hard to his damline, which to me would appear to represent something of a contradiction.

Would appreciate clarification of my possible misunderstanding.

A lot more of ATHs will come out early next year, aiming for the autumn.
 
What gets me, is how is anyone supposed to make money off supporting these stallions for commercial sales? I think there is like 40+ ATHs in the magic millions alone, haven't checked Pierro, but would say he would be similar.

It appears to me that his damside really, really, really likes Sir Ivor.

His 2nd dam produced Gr-1 winner Laverock by Octagonal, the best performer in the family in three generations until Pierro.  Go back another generation and the best performer of his 3rd dam is the only one with Sir Ivor (with a bonus line of Tom Fool, something else this family seems to like).  Wherever Sir Ivor is introduced/reintroduced to this family, the family gets quality runners.  

Gonski, who was out of a Marauding mare, sired his best Australian runner out of a mare from this family.  Reset has a Gr2 winner out of a half-sister to Pierro's 2nd dam.  

So Pierro throwing to his damline (better at longer distances, better as they get older) and getting his best runners when linebred to his sireline are not mutually exclusive.

Even so.  Just like it was surprising how quiet Pierro was at the beginning of the season.

It's also surprising that when they're getting beaten, most of them are getting beaten badly.  7 of 7, 10 of 10, 7 of 9, 9 of 11, 7 of 8, etc.  Demonetization, Villermont, and All Too Huiying are doing their best to fly the flag, but...like I said, surprising.

Compare to Pierro, who for every 9 of 11 (fiddlesticks stop running that NZ filly in stakes, she's over her head) he has a 1 or 2 of 10 since mid-November, or Ocean Park, who is positively en fuego.

Pierro has 17 for Magic Millions and 9 or 10 each in Inglis Classic and Premier.  That may be an outlier -- he had colic surgery 2 years back and covered a limited book.

Not a bad season for Pierro with an Oaks, and two Derby winners from his first crop.  Coolmore must be wondering why they couldn't get stayers with all their overseas breed imports when all of a sudden Pierro and So You Think are both firing over a distance.  And you get the Zabeel cross or the Redoute's Choice cross, or the Encosta de Lago cross - so that opens up all the other best lines for mares to go to them.

Well a full sister to Broadway Belle is the dam of Arcadia Dream also winner of the WA Derby in 2016.  Action certainly looks like he is a fast stayer.  Interesting that they don't like some of the types Pierro throws including this boy.  These could be his stayers?

I said in October that Pierro was throwing to his female line and that looks to be more and more the case.  With the stallion's crest and maturity, he looks like Zabeel from the neck forward and Daylami from the shoulder back.





And this lad is one of Pierro's stakes winners, who looks like someone dipped Daylami in brown paint and gave him a freeze-brand (roman nose, thick throat latch, and all).



It would be interesting to get all of Pierro's better runners together in a line and have a look.  I suspect that the ones who are running well at 1200-1600m all have one physical type (either Lonhro or their dams) and the ones running well at 2000m+ all look like Daylami.

Tulip the flag bearer - but overall now sits at 10 winners from 46 starters.

Pierro at stud is doing what his pedigree suggests, unlike Pierro the racehorse, who had a weird pedigree for a Golden Slipper winner.
An honest politician is one who when he is bought will stay bought.

I remember Bart claiming that Saintly could’ve been trained to win any race he wanted.

Might just be that Pierro was just as versatile.

That's 9 out of his 20 winners so far, and 3 of his 5 stakes horses.  If you count Tulip's 3rd dam Grand Luxe by Sir Ivor and Princess Pierro, that's fully half of his winners and 80% of his stakes horses so far are linebred to Sir Ivor, Sir Tristram, or Zabeel AND 60% of his stakes horses have Sir Ivor through the Ciboulette family.  It's quite astounding to see how strong that cross is even at this early stage. 

Again, my gut feeling is that he's throwing to his damline and his damline REALLY REALLY REALLY likes Sir Ivor!

Three years on and with Persan having an extraordinary spring so far, I thought I'd review this list.  It's the weekend and I'm bored, so here we go.

Pierro's 24 stakes winners (including HK and SAF SW's) are:

Horse Broodmare Sire Extra Sir Ivor?
Action Redoute's Choice Yes -- Show Lady
Arcadia Prince Redoute's Choice Yes -- Show Lady
Arcadia Queen Redoute's Choice Yes -- Show Lady
Bellvue Hill Exceed and Excel Yes -- Marauding  
Commander More Than Ready No
Dragon Leap Redoute's Choice Yes -- Show Lady, Sir T, Ivory Dawn
Furore Redoute's Choice Yes -- Show Lady
Gamay Canny Lad No
I Like It Easy General Nedyim Yes -- Rolls *
Kentucky Breeze Redoute's Choice Yes -- Show Lady
Levendi Redoute's Choice Yes -- Show Lady  
Octabello Secret Savings No
Persan Mossman Yes -- Marauding
Pierata Flying Spur Yes -- Rolls, Zabeel *
Pinot Zabeel Yes -- Zabeel
Reelem In Ruby Giant's Causeway No   
Regal Power Redoute's Choice Yes -- Show Lady
Rock Fastnet Rock Yes -- Marauding
Roy Had Enough Elusive Quality Yes -- Ivory Wand
Sacramento Redoute's Choice Yes -- Show Lady *
Satin Slipper Flying Spur Yes -- Rolls, Kaapstad, Green Desert *
Shadow Hero Casino Prince Yes -- Rolls ( x 2)  *
Tulip Rock of Gibraltar Yes -- Grande Luxe *  
Untamed Fastnet Rock Yes -- Marauding

Stakes-placed horses:
Aecee Tong De Elusive Quality Yes -- Ivory Wand
Femme Fireball Fastnet Rock Yes -- Marauding
Folk Dress Snow Ridge No
Gayatri Redoute's Choice Yes -- Show Lady, Zabeel
Holbien Danehill Dancer No
Quintessa Street Sense No *
Poseidon's Pool Exceed and Excel No
Princess Pierro Exceed and Excel Yes -- Bates Motel 
Rainbow Girl Fastnet Rock Yes -- Marauding   
Rendition Lion Hunter No  
Rome Exceed and Excel No
Sikorsky Rock of Gibraltar Yes -- Grande Luxe *
Spencer Smart Strike  No  *
True Magic Redoute's Choice Yes -- Show Lady
Wheelhouse Fastnet Rock Yes -- Marauding

Obviously, the cross with Redoute's Choice is something spectacular.  

Out of 39 total stakes winners/placed, 29 (74%) have an extra cross to Sir Ivor in some way.  All five of his Gr-1 winning horses have an extra cross to Sir Ivor, from multiple different sources.

Most (11) are through Redoute's Choice's 3rd dam Show Lady.  Pierro has 39 named foals of racing age out of Redoute's Choice mares, and 10 of them have black type for a stunning 25% stakes horses from FOALS on that cross.  That's also 10% Gr-1 winners from FOALS on that cross (counting Furore).  I mean, wow.  I expect this number to drop in his future crops because with bigger foal crops and more RC mares, he will be seeing a lot more middling-to-meh RC mares.  It might drop from 24% stakes horses to something more reasonable, like 12-15%.

Moving on, 7 have a cross to Marauding, mostly via Fastnet Rock but one is the mare Ambiguous, 3rd dam of Bellvue Hill.  That's interesting because out of the four black-type horses with Exceed and Excel as broodmare sire, Bellvue Hill is the only stakes winner.  

Pierro has a total of 6 foals of racing age out of three individual Elusive Quality mares, for one Gr-3 winner in South Africa and one Gr-3 placed winner of over $200,000.  Five of the six are winners and two of the three winners who aren't black-type are both metro class runners.  That's a strike rate approaching Redoute's Choice, albeit with a much smaller sample size.

There are a couple of other patterns that show up here.  The mares Ciboulette and Victoriana show up pretty frequently in Pierro's stakes horses.  Most of the foals with Ciboulette (which means scallion, by the way, a fun play on words with her sire Chop Chop) descend from Grande Luxe, by Sir Ivor -- but not all.  Some descend from L'Enjoleur.  Any mares with Night Shift would be worth a try here.  

The other one that shows up, and I can't figure out why, is the Poker (USA) mare My Charmer, dam of Seattle Slew, Lomond, and Seattle Dancer and the mare Clandestina.  Lomond appears primarily through Exceed and Excel, but also through Citidancer (IRE).  

Based on all of this, I'd also say that putting Pierro mares to Frosted might be an interesting pedigree play.  Frosted is linebred to Seattle Slew, so double My Charmer, and has Victoriana via Deputy Minister.  In fact, Pierro's son Commander is out of a mare whose dam Fleeting Touch is a 3/4 sibling to Frosted's dam Fast Cookie.  Additionally, if any mares by Midshipman (USA) make it to Australia, especially if they have Deputy Minister or Vice Regent anywhere in their pedigrees, Pierro (or Pierata, or Bellvue Hill) are worth a punt.  Bernardini mares might also be worth trying with Pierro for this reason, as well.

We now return to our normal, non-pedigree-geek weekend activities...

And the way Frosted runners started yesterday, the Frosted/Pierro cross could be dynamite. 4 different strains of Mr Prospector hailing from the 13c Crepe Myrtle family as does Seattle Slew!

There is no Redoutes or Sir Ivor BUT Frosted does have Secretariat and Sir Gaylord as well as menow via Tapit which is all Sir Ivor families.
