Pedigree
Malmoos’ 3rd dam, Champion Broodmare Soho Secret, is closely kin-bred. She combines the kin-breeding from her sire Regent Street with her dam Secret Landing, notably though the latter’s grandam Secret Recipe. Regent Street is kinbred 2x1 Tide-Way x Fair Spoken and 2x4x2 Tide-Way x Lavendula x Tudor Fair – all these are close kin to Secret Recipe.
In this pedigree Soho Secret’s daughter Secret Pact is by Bush Telegraph, whose dam Maiden Over is kinbred 2x2 Lilac Belle x No Appeal – both kin-link to all of the kin-links found in Soho Secret. Secret Pact is a full sister to Horse of the Year London News.
Secret Pact is dam of Promisefrommyheart, by Elliodor whose third dam Martial Loan is close kin with all of the kin-lines noted above. Noteworthy is that Elliodor’s son Model Man has many of the kin-links found in Secret Recipe. Model Man’s Champion daughter League Title is from the same tail female line as Soho Secret.
The connection of Malmoos’ sire Captain Al to Fort Wood shows up in Gr1 winners Captain America and Kommetdieding – Captain America’s dam is by Fort Wood out of Riding Light, while Kommetdieding is by Fort Wood’s son Elusive Fort out of Adorable, by Captain Al out of a daughter of Riding Light. Riding Light’s sire Top Ville is by High Top (who has Derring Do, Abernant, Court Martial).
A notable influence to combine with Malmoos could be Var, whose female line kin-links to Malmoos’ female line - the combination is represented by highclass Ghaalla, La Revere and Favorita under Malmoos’ 2nd dam Promisefrommyheart. Var with Captain Al mares gave SW William The Silent (2nd dam by Elliodor), Eden Roc (2nd dam by Dominion Royale), Vars Vicky (2nd dam by Wolf Power, whose dam fits the Court Martial/Abernant bill).
