Melbourne Cup Pedigree Analysis - Do It Yourself

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday November 5

Breednet has produced a great page with click through to five generation pedigrees for all the Melbourne Cup runners, so for amateur pedigree buffs looking to have a Cup flutter based pedigree here’s your chance  to DIY it!

Once upon a time when they Kiwi bred stayers were the dominant force you went looking for those with Sir Tristram (IRE) in the pedigree and while you will still see his best staying son Zabeel popping up in a regular way, the big staying line to watch in the modern era stems from Sadler’s Wells and his sire sons and in particular Galileo.

A champion racehorse that won the Epsom Derby and a legendary sire of sires, Galileo is a powerful force for stamina in a pedigree and features prominently in many of the Cup runners this year.
