Joy (2020) is by Wheres The Ring  (a perennial Top 5 Canadian Sire with LTE: $182,900) and out of Valbella (TB) that brings into the cross the valuable Sadler's Wells genetics. This is our very first Thoroughbred foal and I put a lot of thought into the cross to establish a powerful pattern. For the frame I looked for a stallion with Mr Prospector in the direct sire line to establish a top-bottom pattern to Case Ace, the proven broodmare sire of Raise A Native. The combination of Johnstown xx Tracery is not only found in Windsor Lady (direct dam line of Valbella) but also in the dam line of Dash For Cash (QH) and Johnstown is also found in the dam line of Mr Prospector and Nashua (broodmare sire of Roberto) for example! This gives a strong top-bottom pattern to the genetic background of Mr Prospector! This cross further shows a reinforced inside-out pattern to Nearco. Wheres The Ring is gender-balanced line-bred to Menow (Pharamond x Alcibiades) and the mare Alcibiades is reinforced through the direct dam line of Sir Ivor, the broodmare sire of Valbella. Lalun, another blue hen, is the dam of Never Bend and Bold Reason and hence comes through the sire and dam line for this filly. Mahmoud comes through the dam line of Wheres The Ring; Valbella is gender-balanced line-bred to Mahmoud.  Wheres The Ring adds himself two crosses to Discovery and Blue Larkspur adding to the excellent filly factor; Blue Larkspur on the top side is reinforced through the direct dam line of Prince John. Valbella adds an inside-out pattern to SomethingRoyal through Secretariat and Sir Gaylord, adding even more mare power to the filly facors mentioned above. This filly is genetically loaded!
