TB Pedigree experts!!

What do you think about this ones pedigree for sport? Hoping to take a look at him in person this weekend.

Soooo not a pedigree expert but my mare’s damsire is distorted humor. She is smart as a whip, a little complicated but generally willing. Good movement and jump, but shes built pretty heavy/broad and short backed. I don’t think she would have the gallop for upper levels. But I have no idea what side the “weight” came from :winkgrin:.

Fusaichi Pegasus is pretty popular for sport.

Take a close look at those legs. There may be a good reason that the horse is unraced.

I always say you should judge the horse in front of you instead of the pedigree. But since you asked, (caveat, I race TBs rather than event them) Fusaichi Pegasus is known for siring horses that tend to be mean, dumb, and uncooperative. I hope for this horse’s sake that he inherited Distorted Humor’s temperament instead.

Flower Alley is a taller, more refined version of his sire, Distorted Humor. The straight shoulder probably came from FA. The longish, soft pasterns are a legacy of both FuPeg and Distorted Humor. The chunky body came from Salt Lake. Unfortunately I don’t see much Giant’s Causeway in him (in that single picture).

Of course he may look entirely different in person. :lol:

Way Way to Much Mr. Prospecter for my taste…but then again we can’t see the horse or watch it move.

He’s not unraced, as someone commented above… Admittedly 2 starts isn’t much but he did run.

FWIW, Doesn’t look like the trainer runs a ton, but of his 3 violations on record, they’re all drug positives. (he only ran 4 horses in 2019, 24 starts. In 2018 and he had 1 positive test for Triamcinolone Acetonide, and in 2015 he had two positives but reading the reports it sounds like the testing at Portland Meadows had changed or something because there’s a description of a rash of cases of positive tests for Dex and even a changed rule in the state. )
