Eskimo Kisses (To Honor and Serve x Silver Colors) won the Gr.I Alabama Stakes at Saratoga. Dam Silver Colors is out of Kentucky Derby winning filly Winning Colors.

Loved that win for Eskimo Kisses.

Fashion Business, by Frankel out of G1 winner Icon Project, easily won the San Diego Hcap (G2). Second dam is La Gueriere.

Morse Code (Tapit X Serena's Cat) won the 11th at Del Mar, a 1 1/16-mile AOC on the turf.
Is he a half brother to Honor Code or something more, since Honor Code's sire, A.P. Indy, is Morse Code's grandsire?

Pretty sure that would be considered a 3/4 brother or something. I'm not really keen on stuff like that though.

He finished 5th.

Little Doo (Brethren x Miss Doolittle) will be making her first start in Race 6 at Gulfstream Park on Sunday. She is a half-sister to Gr.I winner and sire Dialed In.

Moonlit Garden (Malibu Moon x Winter Garden) won the Summer Colony Stakes at Saratoga. She is a half-sister to GSW winner and eventer Title Contender and GSP Matterhorn, who is probably best known as being the horse that stepped on California Chrome at the start in the 2014 Belmont Stakes. Dam Winter Garden is a MGSW herself.

Lovesick (Adios Charlie x Almost a Valentine) won Race 6 at Gulfstream Park. Dam Almost a Valentine is a half-sister to Rigoletta, the dam of Battle of Midway.

Little Doo, the half-sister to Dialed In, finished 5th in the race.

A.P. Indy is Morse Code's great grandsire so no. If it is a stallion and his son that both have progeny out of the same mare, then yes they would be considered 3/4.

Thanks for the clarification. I know that Morse' is by Tapit, who is by Pulpit, who was by A.P. Indy.
My pedigree info is OK, but my addition sucks.

Inorbit (Orb x Serena's Joy) finished 2nd in Race 6 at Indiana Grand. Serena's Joy is out of Serena's Sister, who is a half to Serena's Song.

Focus Group, the winner of the John’s Call Stakes today at Saratoga is a son of Kitten’s Joy out of a full sister to Film Maker.

Gold Shield (Medaglia d'Oro x Dream Supreme), a half-brother to Majestic Warrior, finished 9th (last) in the John's Call Stakes at Saratoga

Focus Group (Kitten's Joy x Cocktail Hour), a nephew of Film Maker, won the race (as mentioned above).

Landofthepharaohs a son of Cairo Prince won today becoming the 7th winner for his sire.
Dark Prince, another CP son nicknamed the 'Arrogate Impersonator' in Baffert's barn ran 3rd.

Re Dark Prince--impersonator is right. Speed and fade. Nice win for the gray winner.

I think they call him that because of his looks... big dark grey.

The Riskaverse Stakes saw two offspring of Champion Turf Mares contest the race.

Sweet Sting (Awesome Again x Perfect Sting) finished 6th. Dam Perfect Sting was Eclipse Champion Turf Mare of 2000.

Going Out (Tapit x Forever Together) finished last. Dam Forever Together was Eclipse Champion Turf Mare of 2008.

Not an immediate relative or offspring of a well-known horse, but the West Virginia-bred Cheerful Chimes (Limehouse x Shecky's Bell), who was 3rd in Race 2 at Charles Town today, is a female line descendant of Shecky Greene. I'm not sure how often Shecky Greene shows up in pedigrees anymore. Figured she was worth mentioning on this thread! Her damsire is Shecky Iron (Iron x Jade Empress, by Shecky Greene), a 7-time winner in 54 starts. That's where the relation stems from.

Also, Galileo's Star, a broodmare who sold at the Keeneland January HORA sale, is by Lil E. Tee out of a Run For Nurse mare. You certainly don't see those names pop up much anymore either.
