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).
Forty Niner-line sires in South Africa: Flower Alley, Pathfork (Distorted Humor); Trippi (End Sweep); Chimichuri Run, Gold Standard, Jet Dark (Trippi)

Suitable Lines
A stallion’s best progeny often splits into two: continuing the affinities of either of the parents, going their separate ways.
Here’s a summary of what could be suitable lines for Jet Dark.
- Family 9 descendants, tracing (remotely) to close kin-relatives The Apple (Trippi’s bottom female line) and Avoca (Jet Dark’s bottom female line).
- One of The Apple’s daughters Thankful Blossom leads to Bull Lea, in this context especially through Alydar, Nijinsky and Roberto. Alydar notably in Byword, Oratorio (treble Bull Lea), Duke of Marmalade. Nijinsky in Dancing Champ, Peacetime, and linking to his close kin-relative Storm Bird. Roberto in Al Mufti (with Lassie Dear) and Roberto’s full sister as dam of Rollins (in Jet Master).
- Another of The Apple’s daughters One I Love leads to the mare Escutcheon (Coastal) and especially Sun Again, male line of Damascus. There’s Storm Bird, whose dam is from Bull Lea male line, with second dam by Sun Again. Storm Bird lines are widespread (notably Storm Cat, Tiger Ridge, Var (double Sun Again), Mogok, Black Minnaloushe). Storm Bird is sire of Trippi’s Storm.
- The female line of The Apple extends to champion 2yo filly Nellie Flag, who mated to Sun Again got Sunshine Nell, dam of Dewan. This also is female line of Trippi, whose third dam is close kin to Sweetest Chant (Distorted Humor).and Fairy Bridge (dam of Sadler’s Wells).
- Dewan sired Complete Warrior, dam by Damascus out of a half sister to Buckpasser (out of Busanda, the La Troienne female line). Complete Warrior is in Captain Al (with Al Mufti), Counter Action, and in local female lines.
- Damascus sired Damascus Gate and Rollins (damsire of Jet Master). Damascus’ dam Kerala is close kin to Never Bend (Riverman (Rainbow Dream – adds Bull Lea), Rainbow Quest). Kerala is by My Babu, leading to Lassie Dear, and Joy (Dynasty, Jet Master). Damascus is second damsire of Rich Man’s Gold, who is by Trippi’s sire Forty Niner.
- Sleat, third dam of Trippi’s G2 winner Trippi’s Storm (by Storm Bird), is also third dam of Kahal. Sleat is 90% kin to Nalatale, grandam of Horse Chestnut (by Dynasty’s sire Fort Wood, son of Sadler’s Wells). Byword’s Gr1 winning daughter Camphoratus is out of Horse Chestnut mare (with more interesting lines behind it) - she would make an interesting mate for Jet Dark.
