LEADING FEMALE TAIL CLUSTERS - nick 19 from Origin
As previously noted, Pharos will always be the leader in this section by sheer volume of broodmares from that stallion stem at nick 19.
The battle within of the big three lines at nick 21 is interesting and Nearctic just pipped Nasrullah and Royal Charger again.
It is proven once again, that variation of stallion lineage to include Byerly Turk and Godolphin Arabian is so important with 8 of 47 winners [just under 20%] represented by stallions in the female tail, represented at the bottom of fourth generation [dam - grand dam - great grand dam].
Pharos line broodmare sires [in 4th Gen] - 16 winners
Nearctic x 7, Nasrullah x 5 and Royal Charger x 4.
Star Kingdom line broodmare sires [in 4th Gen] - 8 winners
Tourbillon line broodmare sires BYERLY TURK [in 4th Gen] - 5 winners
