There a close ‘down under’ breeding links to the winner of North America’s famed Little Brown Jug, the Downbytheseaside gelding Bythemissal.
Apart from being by Downbytheseaside, and one of the second crop of the Somebeachsomewhere horse who stands at Woodlands Stud in New Zealand, the three-year-old is out of a mare by Western Terror, who stood several stints at the stud in Victoria.
Furthermore, Bythemissal’s fourth dam, Sable Hanover, figures as the dam of the outstanding NSW racemare of the 1990’s in Sabilize, a dual winner of the NSW Ladyship Mile and a placegetter in a Miracle Mile,
Sabilize is also the grand dam of Liberty Crest runner up in the 2022 Group 2 Silver Salver fillies Final.
Liberty Crest is owned by AC Investments and was purchased at Nitrien Standardbred 2021 Melbourne Sale for $17,000.
Bythemissal carries a double strain of the blood of Matt’s Scooter and No Nukes, two of America’s most influential sires.
