Chauette

There is a mare named Chauette who last raced a Philadelphia Park on 7/27/09 in the 6th race. She was in a $10,000 claiming race but is worth much more as a breeding prospect. Her sire is Pleasant Tap a top sire who sired amongst others Tap Dance City earner of $9,958,479 including the Japan Cup etc.

What makes Chauette so valuable as a breeding prospect is her dam Quiet Fun. I would suggest going to the Thoroughbred Pedigree Query site and pull up the pedigree of Domino's 2nd dam Lizzie G. Http://www.pedigreequery.com/Lizzie G. You will find that Chauette has the same unusual inbreeding found in Lizzie G. Quiet Fun traces down her tail female line to the Princequillo's daughter Cequillo. A few more generations down the female line from Cequillo brings you to the matron Marguerite de Valois who is a full sister to Bull Dog and Sir Gallahad 3rd. When Quiet Fun's dam Fun Fun Fun was bred to Quiet American two more direct crosses of Cequillo were introduced. Quiet American traces to Cequillo through his tail female line as does his sire Fappiano.

If this were not enough Quiet fun is Inbred 3x3 to matriarch Grey Flight through the full brother and sister What a Pleasure and Bold Princess. The sire of Chauette brings in another cross of Grey Flight through her champion daughter Misty Morn who is a half sister to What a Pleasure and Bold Princess. Adding to this great concentration of this great female family is Native Dancer. He is found twice in Quiet Fun's pedigree. Native Dancer has as his third dam the matriarch La Chica who is the 2nd dam of Grey Flight.

The comparison to Lizzie G is that Lizzie G is sired War Dance a son of Reel whose dam is Fandango. Lizzie G's dam is the Lecompte mare. Her sire Lecompte is also a son of Reel providing a 2nd cross of Fandango. Then when you consider that Lizzie G's 5th dam is Fandango you have a triple cross of her direct female line. This is the same pattern as found in Quiet fun.

When you consider that Lizzie G is the dam of the mighty Domino you have reason to consider the possibilities found in Chauette. Domino only sired 20 foals, 19 of which lived, and from those 20 foals he dominated American breeding for 40 years.

Just claim Chauette and breed to a first class outcross stallion and you could get a runner of the highest class
