Your KEY to the Winner's Circle...

Superior Breeding

 

145 Years  | Why Breed to Louis Arthur  |  Mating Recommendations  | Pedigree  |  Five Cross Pedigree  |  Hypo-Mating 

What happens when you cross one of In Reality's best sons with a graded stakes-placed daughter of one of the most influential Triple Crown winners of the 20th Century?

What happens when that mare descends from one of the strongest families to ever grace the pastures of Claiborne Farm?


 

One of the Strongest Sire Pedigrees Anywhere

Louis Arthur is bred on the successful Relaunch / Seattle Slew cross as seen in the pedigrees of two time Breeders' Cup Classic winner Tiznow, Graded stakes winner Slew Gin Fizz, and most recently through the exceptional two year old performer and promising young sire Officer.

Louis Arthur is a Matchem line tail-male line descendent (from Man o' War) and especially suited as an outcross for Phalaris line mares.  The Matchem line is seeing a bit of resurgence in recent years, thanks to the success of In Reality sons Relaunch and Valid Appeal.

Louis Arthur belongs to Chelandry's family (1-n), tracing from the Claiborne Farm foundation matron Courtesy whose daughters were responsible for Classic winners Swale and Shadeed, and Champion Two-Year-Old Colt and leading sire of sires Forty Niner.  Every dam in Louis Arthur's tail-female descent was sired by an exceptional broodmare sire. Thus, Louis Arthur offers very rare sex-balanced line breeding opportunities for mares carrying male strains of Seattle Slew, Damascus, Nijinsky, Hoist The Flag, Round Table, Nasrullah and Hyperion.

Louis Arthur's only inbreeding through five generations is 5 x 5 to War Relic in the pedigree of his paternal grandsire In Reality.  In Reality’s sire line is one of the hottest for juvenile runners in North America.

“Bred on the same potent Relaunch - SeattleSlew cross as
2005 Leading Freshman sire Tiznow

(now among the Leading Sires and sire of 2008 Belmont Stakes winner Da’ Tara and Dubai World Cup winner Well Armed, to name but a very few top performers),

Louis Arthur represents one of the most dynamic breeding opportunities available.
