Skip Away

I decided to take a look at Skippy's pedigree.

His sire, Skip Trial, is from Looks Promising, also the ancestress of numerous graded winners, including grade I winner Tactical Cat. The next dam, Fluoresee, was from the broodmare Snow Flame, a daughter of the foundation mare Firetop. Firetop's descendants include Nijinsky II, the Minstrel, champion Doubledogdare, classic winner Lahan, etc.

Skippy's dam, Ingot Way, was from the mare Ingot, dam of grade III winner Ingot Ruler. Ingot's granddam, Queen Fleet, ancestress of graded stakes winner Crafty Friend. Queen Fleet was from the mare Boat, dam of major stakes winner Greek Ship. Boat was also the ancestress of two Queen's Plates winners and grade I winner Without Feathers. Her dam, Croatala, foaled horses from whom descend top stakes winner and sire Heliopolis and Alabama S. winner Up the Apalachee.
