Reader challenge: Identify the following four horses represented by their 3-cross pedigrees. Note that Broodmare Sire x is the same horse in all pedigrees, as is Sire y. It may be useful to consult the list of TrueNicks subscribed stallions to solve this week's puzzle. TrueNicks ratings are up-to-date as of time of publishing, but the exact variant may change slightly with new starters or stakes winners on the cross. Leave your guess in the comments section below. Good luck!

We will hold all comments until Monday, August 9.

UPDATE: Congratulations to russf who provided the only correct response to this puzzle! The pedigrees below are those of Discreetly Mine, Trappe Shot, Smuggler, and Panty Raid. Broodmare sire x is Private Account and Sire y is A.P. Indy.

I really did try ! Here it goes -

Family 13c - Seattle Slew

Sire y-AP Indy

Broodmare Sire 1x- Mr Prospector

This week's puzzle really made me feel like a novice :(

I was sure it was Belong to Me as the broodmare sire and 1 was Circular Quay and 3 was Lucky. However, nothing seems to check out. If you left out the truenicks and stakes part then I could have used Point and Go for 2 and Quiet Point for 4. Too tough for me this week. Good job Ian

Ian , Are you going to fill in the blanks ? I'm curious as to what I did wrong ??? I did have an answer then , went and changed it .

Shelly,

You got Sire y correct! This was probably a bit too tough, although russf nailed it pretty quick. Very impressive on his part. I think the key was getting Private Account as the broodmare sire; then it's do-able.

Thanks Ian , Good Job russf !
