Siblings (and offspring) of well-known horses

Costa Mesa (Medaglia d’Oro x Ventura) finally broke his maiden tonight at Turfway. He was sold in November and was making his 2nd or 3rd start for the new connections. So far, they haven't made the ultimate equipment change.

It is a lovely pedigree.

Untapped Takes First Steps Toward Filling Big Shoes

David Fiske was packing his car Jan. 19 in preparation for the drive to Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots.

Among the many things the Winchell Thoroughbreds manager hopes to see during his time in New Orleans is a definitive sign that their 3-year-old filly Untapped is starting to make some headway on sparking some similarities between herself and her big sister.

While they already share bloodlines, connections, and near identical monikers, Fiske said Untapped is still a far different animal than her full sister, Untapable, the Longines Breeders' Cup Distaff (G1) winner and champion 3-year-old filly of 2014. Should Untapped boast half the talent of her sibling, she should be in good stead when she makes her stakes debut Jan. 21 in the Silverbulletday Stakes at Fair Grounds.

3/4 sibling and really interested to see how this one shakes out.

[Treve]

Just realized both full brothers to Chrome (Faversham) and Pharoah (Irish Pharaoh) are 2 years old this year. The internet is gonna have a meltdown if they ever meet.

[ThreeMustangs]

The winner of R6 at Gulfstream, Snap Decision, is a Hard Spun half-brother to G1-winner Mr. Speaker. Personal Ensign is his second dam.

[BaroqueAgain1]

The finest Phipps breeding, and that was an impressive win.

Barbaro's Brother Nicanor Gets First Winner as Sire

Nicanor, the full brother to the late 2006 Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1) winner Barbaro, got his first winner as a sire when Joseph Besecker's Nicamore sped to a 2 1/4-length victory in a Jan. 28 maiden claiming race at Laurel Park.

In his fifth start, the 3-year-old colt broke quickest from the gate in the six-furlong race, but was rated behind the eager Don't Be Scared. Nicamore challenged in the far turn, with Three Beans giving chase, and was able to pull clear to score.

He was claimed out of the race for $10k.

Looks like De Treville(GB), 2012 H, Oasis Dream (GB) - Dar Re Mi (GB) by Singspiel (IRE), is back in Europe.
