THE BOTTOM SIDE OF HIS PEDIGREE
A) DAM: LA PASCUA (SWI)
Blame Game’s dam is the Switzerland mare La Pascua.
- La Pascua (SWI) foaled two stakes winners neither of which won going longer than 9 furlongs (1 1/8 mile).
- Blame Game’s Dam also produced a filly named Lemon Drop Cello who would go on to be the dam of American Derby winner Cozzetti.
- All of these signs add up to the likely hood that Blame Game will not find running a route of ground a problem on his Dam side.
B.) BROODMARE SIRE: CAERLEON
Blame Games broodmare sire is Caerleon.
- Caerleon was twice the leading sire in Great Britain and Ireland.
- Caerleon sired stakes winner in America including
- Missionary Ridge – Winner of the 1 1/4 Pacific Classic
- Kostroma – Multiple G1 winner who set a world record for 1 1/8 miles on the grass
- Auriette – Winner of the 1 1/4 honeymoon handicap
- Coretta – Two time winner of the 1 1/2 mile La Prevoyante Handicap
- It seems that Caerleon sired horses that preferred a distance of ground.
C.) Further Back In Bottom Pedigree
Other names in Blame Games pedigree include Nijinski, Round Table, Northern Dancer and Pricequillo all names I like to see in a bottom side of a horses pedigree if they are going to be running long.
