Regarding Monsun.. "the only live branch that descends from Bahram".. you actually mean thoroughbred.. right.?

The most fantastic stallion in the equestrian sport was PARADOX (1964).. by the TB Papayer, a son of Persian Gulf, who stood in the 1960's at a stud in Westfalen State, both the damsire Aberwind and the sire of the grandam Allierter, descended from the German Derby winner Adonis.

There were no adjectives left out for this stallion.. he has several male line branches through, Parademarsh, Parabol, Palisander, etc...

What a joy it was to watch a filly owned by Queen Elizabeth II win the Ascot Gold Cup as what a great patron she has been to the sport of thoroughbred racing over the years. You mention that the dam of Estimate, Ebaziya was out of a Dan Cupid mare so it is a good time to remember that Dan Cupid was the sire of one of the greatest horses of the 20th century, Sea Bird.

I like the format of the races back to back with pithy comments about the horses' backgrounds.
