KIN-BREEDING: The focus of kin-breeding in New Approach is a build-up of chained links through successive female line ancestors. These trace to his Significant Ancestor (SigAnc) Sunbird, who is herself very closely kin-bred, and importantly links to Galileo’s bottom female line. Sunbird is half sister to Knockaney Bridge (3rd dam of Lalun, dam of Never Bend & Bold Reason) and her full sister Sunbridge. In New Approach’ best son Dawn Approach, Sunbird links to kin-breeding in the dam of Dawn Approach.
The 3rd dam of New Approach, Lachine, is half sister to A20 who has a sizeable number of descendants in South Africa.
SADLER'S WELLS line sires in South Africa: Flying The Flag, Global View, New Predator, The United States (Galileo); Elusive Fort (Fort Wood); Act Of War, Futura, Horizon, Legislate (Dynasty); Potala Palace (Singspiel); Admiral Kitten (Kitten’s Joy)

Pedigree
The female line elements of New Predator fit the pattern from his sire New Approach, linking the Significant Ancestors of both: Sunbird and Granada. The sire of Granada is from Plucky Liege female line, her dam from a female line represented in SA by Queen Of Light and Picture Play, among others. Sunbird is half sister to Knockaney Bridge, female line of Lalun.
The grandam of New Predator is inbred to Australian sire Better Boy, who is close kin to Klairon, the latter represented in the pedigree of New Approach by Ahonoora (to which New Approach’s Derby winner Masar is inbred).
Suitable Lines
Suitable mares for NEW PREDATOR could include
- Lalun’s sons Bold Reason (as in Sadler’s Wells) and Never Bend (as in Mill Reef, Riverman, etc) – thus, among others, Lalun leads to Fort Wood (Dynasty), Casey Tibbs, Kahal, Second Empire, Daylami.
- In another kin-link, Better Boy is sire of Century (Seventh Rock, Time Thief), while his kin Klairon is in Ahonoora (Cape Cross, Great Britain, Malhub, Imperial Stride, Flying The Flag), in Twig Moss (Curved Ball, Fastnet Rock), in West Man, Irish Flame, What A Winter, etc.
- Combining the two kin-links is Cape Cross, by Green Desert out of a mare by Ahonoora. Green Desert is damsire of Kahal, and grandsire of Querari (Oasis Dream) and his half brother Quasillo (Sea The Stars). Cape Cross is full brother to Great Britain.
- The female line of New Predator (through Picture Play, Queen Of Light) also is in Saumarez, Second Empire, Daylami, Kildonan.
- Knockaney Bridge and Sunbird have another full sister Sunbridge – the latter is ancestor of King Of The Tudors, Our Babu, Windsor Lad, the mare Soldumeno (who has female line descendants in SA). Then there’s the third dam of New Approach, Lachine, half sister to the mare A20 who has female descendants in SA. They might make for suitable kin-links with New Predator.
