Arabian Dancer



Arabian Dancer was bred to Mr Prospector to produce Bellamy Road 's 3rd dam Rub Al Khali . She was unraced and hasn't produced much besides a $133K Earner named Pitkin County from the cover of Danzig's son Pine Bluff , a winner of the Houston Juvenile Stakes named Gallant Talent, and a winner of the East Coast Rockingham Stakes (Eng) named Resounder. The mare is actually still in production and produced a 2003 colt by the expensive stallion Giant's Causeway .



More importantly, Rub Al Khali was inbred 3x4 to Native Dancer through his son Raise A Native and his daughter Exclusive Dancer. This is interesting as Raise A Native sired Exclusive Native to the cover of Exclusive Dancer's dam Exclusive. Also, the paternal half-siblings Raise A Native and Exclusive Dancer possessed dams returning Fair Play to Native Dancer, whose damsire Discovery had Fair Play as his grandsire and the Gallopade line that Panoply likes so much as his female line.



Anyway, this inbreeding to Native Dancer was very important to the next link in the chain of breedings that led to Bellamy Road . For Rub Al Khali was bred to a stallion named Cozzene to produce Bellamy Road 's granddam Ten Cents A Turn.



An excellent grass horse who finished second in the 11f Man O' War (GI) and United Nations (GI) Handicaps at 3 and first in the Breeder's Cup Mile at 4, Cozzene took after his white sire Caro in appearance and may be accounted the masterpiece of John Nerud's semi-autumnal years save for the great Fappiano (note well that Nerud was also the mind behind the creation of Concerto's damsire In Reality).



In his stallion career Cozzene has shown consistent excellence and his AEI/CI of 2.56/1.79 is hard to beat. He has doubtless been aided in achieving this impressive figure by siring Twelve Millionaires from only 16 Crops of Racing Age so far.



Cozzene seems to have quite a thing for Ribot as the BC Classic (GI) Winner Alphabet Soup, the Malibu S (GI) Winner Mizzen Mast, the Eclipse S (GB-GI) Winner Environment Friend, and the Breeder's Cup Turf (GI) Winner Tikkanen all are by Cozzene and have Ribot within the first 3 generations of the dam's pedigree.



But more relevant to the pedigree of Bellamy Road 's 2nd dam Ten Cents A Turn is that Cozzene traced back in the female family of the Great 19th Century American Taproot Maggie B. B. through his 4th dam Portage . For this reason Ten Cents A Turn is 4x5 to Raise You and Portage, two mares sharing Case Ace, Man O' War, and either Whisk Broom II or his full sister Afternoon.



Also, Ten Cents A Turn was 5x5 to Count Fleet through Cozzene's damsire Prince John and Mr Prospector's 2nd dam Sequence and 5x5 to Nasrullah through Grey Sovereign and Nashua . A very nice thing about the Count Fleet linebreeding is that the Count had a shot of Domino's full sister Correction coming through his damsire Haste. This is interesting both because Correction is the 8th dam of the triple Crown Winner Affirmed (who was sired by Exclusive Dancer's half brother Exclusive Native) and because Count Fleet's damsire Haste actually combined a sire tracing back to Maggie B. B. with a dam tracing back to Gallopade through Correction.



The female family combination of Haste could thus be recapitulated by the combination of Ten Cents A Shine (who already has a Maggie B. B. line coming through the direct female line of her sire Cozzene) with a recent stallion tracing back to the Gallopade Female Family. This was accomplished when Ten Cents A Turn's daughter Hurry Home Hillary was bred to a stallion named Concerto to produce Bellamy Road as the sire of Concerto was Chief's Crown, yet another descendant of the Gallopade family.



Thus Bellamy Road is 2x3 to Chief's Crown and Cozzene, respectively a descendant of Gallopade and a descendant of Maggie B. B. This recapitulates Haste, who was by Maintenant and out of Miss Malaprop, respectively a descendant of Maggie B. B. and a descendant of Gallopade.



This matters as Ten Cents A Shine was bred to the 1983 Preakness (GI) and Haskell (GI) Winner Deputed Testamony to produce Bellamy Road's dam Hurry Home Hilary and Deputed Testamony returned Ten Cents A Shine her 5x5 to Count Fleet with a nice close up shot of him through his sire Traffic Cop (who was from a Count Fleet mare). Thus Hurry Home Hillary was 4x6x6 to Count Fleet, whose damsire was of course Haste.



Traffic Cop also traced in the direct female line to Fairy Gold (9-e), a very important broodmare inbred 3x4 in Hurry Home Hillary's 7th dam Good Example. And it also should be noted that Traffic Cop's sire Traffic Judge was out of a mare by Discovery, who was also the damsire of Native Dancer, to whom Hurry Home Hilary's granddam Rub Al Khali was inbred 3x4 (Hurry Home Hillary was thus 5x7x8 to the stout Gallopade line stallion Discovery through Traffic Judge and Native Dancer).
