Officer Prado - not only is he by Cal-bred Officer, but his fourth dam was a rock-solid Cal-bred racemare named Roxann's Jade, winner of 6 races from 45 starts, with 18 more placings including in a stakes on the fair circuit. Sired by Khaled's son Wallet Lifter (also sire of Big 'Cap winner Stardust Mel), she was out of SW, winner of 4 of 30 starts; the next dam Brown Jade won 18 of 49, was a SW at Santa Anita, and was second with the colts in the California Derby, giving 3 lbs. actual weight to the winner. Oh, and she also equaled the track record for 6f at Tanforan. Her sire was a stallion named after theater magnate Alexander Pantages; the equine version won 18 of 65 races in his career.
