OLYMPIO Grade One stakes winner of over $1.4 million and he is the sire of over 26 stakes winners with progeny earnings approaching $17 million.

� Sire Naskra is tail-female to Reine-de-Course Quiver (family 3-e)

� Dam is tail-female to the Bay Bolton Mare, Family 8, via Feronia (8-D).

Best Lines And Crosses

� To inbreed to Nasram�s part of the pedigree: Admittedly difficult to find and mostly via European or Australian lines, still worth looking for mares carrying sires Sagamix and Le Glorieux and any of the offspring of Lady Sharp, like Lady Blessington, who ran here.

� To inbreed to Naskra�s unique family, the Miss Gunning branch of Quiver � obviously his half+ brother Wajima (very hard to find, but still out there � we lost a valuable source when we sold Yankee Victor to Korea. The mare Veroushka is also from this line as is Wild Again � so those all apply.

� To use the red-hot family of *Papila (Crimson Satan), try Swing Till Dawn in particular, Ferrara, Digression, any of Tiznow�s kin, Parfaitement and Lively One.

� To inbreed to Tuscany�s tail-female line of *Macaroon, use Alysheba, Lear Fan, Farma Way, or Hoist the Silver.

� His Pompey line will like mares with a good mix of Tom Fool and Bold Ruler, and his unique double of Rose Prince�s family also suggests mares with double of Prince Rose (*Princequillo, Prince Bio and Prince Chevalier for the most part) will be welcome.

� Prince Chevalier is especially good, as he is tail-female to St. Astra, which is doubled via two lines of Fastnet in Naskra�s contribution.

� Other ways to linebreed to St. Astra are via mares carrying such important individuals as Forest Princess, Pharly, Melyno, Soviet Star, Lit de Justice, Fly Till Dawn, Right Con and Black Tie Affair.

� His Iron Maiden blood should love a cross of Swaps and his Broodmare of the Year sister Track Medal and their siblings Semi-Pro or The Shoe.

� Olympio�s own tail-female line via Evening Sun has some good matches: Wild Wonder mares in particular would be good; watch for daughters of Cuvee when they become available, and All Thee Power mares are from this clan as well.

� It is well to remember that Olympio is devoid of both Northern Dancer and Raise A Native/Mr. Prospector lines, so there is no worrying about doubling those lines, and mares intensely inbred to these sires should find him a welcome �outcross� (there is really no such thing anymore). Welcome in particular would be Lyphard (who shares several French lines with Naskra), Alydar (who shares Calumet lines with Miss Grundy) and Forty Niner, who brings in Hoist the Flag.

� His dam is inbred to Sceptre�s Maid of the Mist branch via Craig An Eran and Hamoaze. This suggests a horse inbred to another relative, like Tom Rolfe who is inbred to Buchan would be welcome. Look for Tom Rolfe most frequently via Hoist the Flag, particularly in Forty Niner sons.

� Olympio has just one line of Frizette via Tourbillon. This means he should like Mr. Prospector/Seattle Slew mixes, which account for at least three Frizette lines. Siberian Express also is a Frizette kin and Slew�s Royalty is inbred to her.

� Finally, the *Turn-to lines would like a cross of Black Brook via Irish River. Proud Irish mares would do the trick.
