The 2 year olds in France

A look at the pedigrees of the "C"-crop

France is special, anyway, but especially in the trotting sport. Not only that the "Grande Nation“ mostly holds it’s trotting races over distances over more than nearly a double distance of one mile (e.g. the world famous "Prix d’Amérique“ over 2700 meters), it also celebrates it’s great heroes like Ourasi in the past or Ready Cash actually often at an advanced age. But the land with a birthrate of about 12.000 foals per year at the moment also has big races for the youngest horses. This year, the 2 year old horses from France from the crop with the letter "C“ are beginning their career, let’s have a look on the first seven horses (plus the rest of the field) each of the Prix Emmanuel Margouty (for the boys) and the Prix Une de Mai (for the girls), both at Paris-Vincennes in the third week of December 2014 over 2175 meters with a price money of 120.000 EUR (appr. 147.000 USD).

Conclusion:
We are talking about 23 horses, Password has 4 offsprings, Ready Cash and Repeat Love, a full brother to Champion Sire Love You (who has no horse in the two races) 3 each. Coktail Jet has 2, on balance, his sire line has 9 offsprings (Coktail Jet, Repeat Love, Quaker Jet, Jam Pridem, Kiwi). The paternal line of Goetmals Wood, a grandson of the great Sharif di Iesolo, counts 6 offsprings (Goetmals Wood, Password, Rieussec, Scipion du Goutier).

9 of the 23 maternal lines have their roots in Northern America, the one of Laura Logan has the majority with 3 offsprings (Consul Madrik, Cuise la Motte, Cathy A Quira). But only 3 horses out of 23 have a – slight – spillover of US-blood (Coleur Citron, Cuise la Motte, Campo Rossa).
