KIN-BREEDING: Trippi’s pedigree resembles the one of US sire Distorted Humor, and similarities extend into the best US progeny of both sires. Key material in mares for Trippi shows a high incidence of descendants of La Troienne or Bull Lea (Rose Leaves). Also significant in the local SA context appears to be Trippi’s 4th dam Another Love (by Tudor Minstrel).

Pedigree

The assumption is that a stallion’s best progeny often splits into two, continuing the affinities of either of the parents, going their separate ways.

In the case of Charles Dickens affinities from his sire Trippi overlap to a large extend with those of his dam (by Fort Wood stallion Dynasty).

The suitable lines below are drawn from the elements of his sire and dam’s family most successful runners
