Question: Hi Alan. My named is
Trevor. I have a mare in foal to a Mujadil son named is Toby's Dream. His
dam is Islandagore (Indian Ridge - Dancing Sunset, by Red Sunset). My
broodmare is Nostalgia she is by Nosferatu (a son Vice Regent) and her dam is Azallya (by Habitat). The pedigree is the same as Kingsgate Native. Is it a good nick,
Alan?
Alan's response: Thank
you for your question, Trevor. Both Toby's Dream (IRE) and Kingsgate Native (IRE) are by
Mujadil out of Indian Ridge (IRE) mares. Mujadil has sired four stakes winners (including two group winners) out of
Northern Dancer-line mares, but his success/opportunity rate with
Northern Dancer-line mares has not been exceptional, and the cross is TrueNick
rated
D.
Kingsgate Native is a little more interesting, as his granddam is bred on the
Northern Dancer/Habitat cross, as is Nostalgia. Mujadil is by a son of Northern
Dancer out of a mare by Secretariat (half-brother to Sir Gaylord, the sire of
Habitat) and that could help.
