Pedigree

Buffalo Bill Cody’s pedigree gives a variety of kin-breeding options. His third dam Prayers ‘n Promises is closely kinbred, through her sire Foolish Pleasure (by What a Pleasure) and dam Luiana (by My Babu). My Babu also appears in the pedigree of Sri Pekan, whose sire Red Ransom is by Roberto (Hail to Reason) out of a mare by Damascus. My Babu is sire of Kerala, the dam of Damascus. Kerala is very close kin to Luiana in the bottom line. Kerala has other close kinships, notably Hail to Reason (sire of Roberto among others), Missy Baba (grandam of Lassie Dear) and Aimee (in Blushing Groom & others). My Babu is by Djebel out of Perfume and is 3-part brother to Joy (by son of Djebel x Perfume).

Another option could come from Redoute’s Choice’ third dam Dancing Show (by Nijinsky). Both Dancing Show and Nijinsky are close kin to Storm Bird, leading to Storm Cat (close kin to Nijinsky & The Minstrel).

A third option could be Crafty Admiral, damsire of Danzig and sire of Dorrine B, the third dam of Sri Pekan. There’s another link of Crafty Admiral with the bottom line of Buffalo Bill Cody. Crafty Admiral is very closely kinbred, involving full brothers Bull Dog and Sir Gallahad.
