Pedigree
Capetown Noir’s significant female line ancestor appears to be the mare Spits, who is closely kinbred. Her main elements are descendants of the mare Agnes Court (Polly Agnes). Spits was mated to Noble Chieftain, a descendant of the Agnes Court female line, resulting in Martha, the 5th dam of Capetown Noir. Martha’s daughter Donna Anna was mated to Jungle Cove, whose female line has the same remote ancestry (Fam 16), resulting in Jungle Janna. The latter got Guineas winner Dance Every Dance from a mating to Northern Guest, whose significant female line ancestry brought more of Fam 16.
Western Winter’s son Winter Solstice, Horse of the Year, is from Fam 16 female line. His 5th dam Brandy Ball and Capetown Noir’s 5th dam Martha are very close kin.
