The best unbeaten juvenile colt descended from Danzig and from the same Green Desert sire line as I Am Invincible. Unbeaten leader of his crop at two, like Shamardal, Pinatubo and City Of Troy – and faster in the G1 Dewhurst than them all. Also faster winning the G1 Irish 2,000 Guineas than Kingman, Churchill, Paddington – and Dubawi.

Pedigree notes

Native Trail is an undefeated Champion Two-Year-Old from the same Green Desert sireline. It has proven its suitability for Australian through sons like I Am Invincible and Kingman.

Native Trail has all the qualities to succeed at stud. His unbeaten juvenile season included victories in the G1 Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket and the G1 National Stakes at The Curragh, where he returned as a three-year-old to score in the G1 Irish 2000 Guineas. The previous winners of these three elite contests include several of the world’s leading sires.

Dubawi and Kingman both won the Irish 2000 Guineas.

Dubawi, Teofilo, Desert King, Danehill Dancer and El Prado all won the National S, while Frankel, Too Darn Hot, Teofilo, Grand Lodge, Zafonic, Try My Best and Nijinsky all won the Dewhurst.

Inbreeding / Linebreeding options

Native Trail’s pedigree features several of the most effective nicks and crosses in modern pedigrees.

These include:

  • The Danzig/Mr Prospector cross
  • The Mr Prospector/Nijinsky cross
  • The Blushing Groom/Nijinsky cross
  • The Lypard/Nijinsky cross

These crosses can all be reinforced by inbreeding them in parallel or reverse, or reintroducing an opposite-sex strain of one or both ancestors.
