CtC,
When it comes to dam lines, it DOES matter.
If it didn't, then how is La Troienne STILL producing classic winners? Dams pass the x-factor on to EVERY daughter, and daughters pass it 50% of the time to sons. It doesn't matter how far back you go when it comes to dam tail lines.
Fly By Night (1910) by Peter Pan (Commando), got Elope (Whisk Broom), Spectacular Bid's 6th dam...
She also got Flying Witch (Broomstick), dam of Mother Goose and Whichone. Mother Goose was the 5th dam of Cannonade.
Almahmoud, Cannonade's 3rd dam, got Natalma (Native Dancer), Northern Dancer's dam.
Giacomo's branch reaches way back, but just further confirms the quality of this female family. Having produced Northern Dancer and Spectacular Bid should be evidence enough..
