Thoroughbred sport horse pedigree

I recently acquired a 3 YO lightly raced mare by He’s Had Enough out of a Tactical Cat mare. I was just curious if anyone knew anything about her sire/lineage. She’s slow and pretty- I’m hoping to make a hunter out of her, but it’s early days still. I know next to nothing about thoroughbred breeding and I’m just curious to know what her pedigree says about her.

Her registered name is Gray Dove (bred in Canada, 2016 mare)

In my humble opinion there are some really interesting bloodlines for sporthorse breeding coming at you via Tactical Cat. I.e. the blood of Double Jay is currently in high fashion via Gemini CL (the clone of Gem Twist). Also the blood lines of Grey Sovereign have proved itself in eventing and jumping at multiple occasions.

Also He’s had Enough is appealing to me regarding all disciplines :slight_smile:

Thanks so much for responding! I’d given up on getting people’s feedback. I love learning about this kind of stuff.

Alydar is known for throwing very good jumpers, although they can be hot. In Reality was well known in show hunter lines; I think his son Relaunch, was well known out east. There was an article in Bloodhorse a few years ago talking about what a great line that was and how it was bring resurrected through TizNow. I have a grandson of In Reality who is a spectacular jumper. I’ve known several offspring of Seattle Slew-all had good brains. Hope this helps.

After finally spelling her name correct and seeing the whole pedigree I can honestly say I like it. The ancestors behind her are the ones that basically founded our modern sport horses and also are starting to be washed out from the very same by people claiming the TB-blood is obsolete in the year of 2020 :frowning:
