By all that has hooves! Ryan Moore outwitted Frankie Dettori to triumph over the Italian wonder and his favorite, the Epsom Derby winner Authorized. NNC has an interesting pedigree: on top, he traces to Ahonoora, but not through the usual branch of Indian Ridge. Instead, Ahonoora's son Inchinor appears on his top line: he is also the sire of Queen Elizabeth II Stakes winner Summoner. Inchinor's broodmare sire, Lomond, was a Northern Dancer half-brother to Seattle Slew.
NNC's female line traces to a distinguished English family whose representatives include top French winner Vela, group winner Home Please, excellent steeplechaser Beef or Salmon, good stayer Phantom Breeze, etc. The line further traces to other mares, all of whom are distinguished.
