Pedigree
Last Winter’s 4th dam Eastern Princess is a full sister to Bold Ruler. They are close kin to Natalma and her son Northern Dancer. Their dam Miss Disco is close kin to Native Dancer and the mare Sex Appeal. Miss Disco in turn is closely kinbred through her 3rd dam Dugout, who is close kin to the mares Dalmary (female line of Sadler’s Wells et al) and Sarita (dam of Sister Sarah, who is grandam of Nearctic).
Last Winter’s dam Field Flower is closely kinbred through her grandam Oscar’s Princess and Silvano’s 3rd dam Beautiful Spirit, by Bold Bidder (Bold Ruler). Silvano’s female line goes to Astralobe, also significant ancestor of Windrush. Oscar’s Princess is also close kin to the mare Leucothea (by Bold Ruler’s son Cornish Prince).
Many of these appear in stakes winners in Last Winter’s relatives. Hashtag Strat, by Great Britain (Sister Sarah female line) out of Windrush mare.
