Courtly Dee might get the edge from me as a broodie. I cannot even count how many sw's she has under her. Maybe after I finish the THU card I'll do some searching. Hard to believe how many of those horses paid big on grass. My rule was if it was "Mellon bred" it was worth a bet on grass without even looking at the field.
Last week at Ascot a Rahy colt named Strong Suit won a 2yo stake. He's an Arky bred and I was curious so I looked him up. His 3rd dam is a full to Personal Ensign. This branch of the family hadn't produced much in 2 generations but this colt can really run. Now, I'm back in pedigree research mode.

Native Courier ( out of Courtley Dee ) was actually the first winner I picked on air with Harvey in a later appearance when he broke his maiden. I feel like Sid Watters trained him. He won over $500K racing through his 7YO year from 1977 to 1982. That is a ton of money for a turf horse back then.
