TRICKEY
TREVOR
By Demaloot Demashoot-Show Your Pride by
Silver Deputy
Male Line: Trickey Trevor is
tail-male to the Nearco branch of the
Phalaris line via the pervasive
influence of *Nasrullah/Bold Ruler. He
is additionally descended in tail-male
from the same branch, Boldnesian, as
Seattle Slew and via Bold Ruckus, the
same tail-male line as leading
California sire Beau Genius. In fact he
is bred on the same Bold Ruckus-Northern
Dancer-Victoria Regina cross as Beau
Genius. In the case of Trickey Trevor it
is Bold Ruckus-Vice Regent and with Beau
Genius it is Bold Ruckus and Vice
Regent’s full brother Viceregal.
Demaloot Demashoot is from the same
tail-female line (Reine-de-Course
Sceptre, one of the greatest racemares
of all time) as Trickey Trevor’s dam,
Show Your Pride. Demaloot Demashoot is
tail-female to Sceptre’s 1912 daughter
Curia, his dam to her 1906 daughter Maid
of the Mist.
Demaloot Demashoot was a sound specimen,
running 40 times through the age of six
and finding his level at pretty much a
solid G3 horse. He has done quite well
with sex-balancing and inbreeding to
Intentionally, sire of his third dam. In
all instances, this was done with In
Reality and it has accounted for four of
his nine stakes winners: Demagoguery,
Valley Loot, Demolition Zone and Chasin
The Wind.
Family: As noted above, Trickey
Trevor is tail-female to the Maid of the
Mist branch of Sceptre. The family is a
grassy one and has done most of its best
work in Europe.
Dam Show Your Pride won one of 12 starts
and was raced by Frank Stronach. She is
a half sister to several stakes horses
including Skytrial (1995 f. by Sky
Classic) who won the listed Canadian
Handicap and was twice G2 placed. She is
also a half to the Deputy Minister colt
Darien Deacon who ran third in the G2
Cowdin and Madison County (Ity) who was
stakes place in Italy.
His second dam, Try Sympathy, by the
great miler Habitat, did not win but she
is a half sister to the Welsh Pageant
filly Welsh Fantasy (IRE) who won the
Group 2 Windfields Farm Gallinule S. Try
Sympathy is bred on the same Habitat/Jim
French cross as champion Steinlen.
Third dam Santarelle by Jim French is
unraced, but is a half sister to the Run
The Gantlet filly Swiftfoot (GB) who won
the classic Irish Oaks (Group 1), the
Park Hill S. (“the filly St. Leger), a
Group 2, and also placed in the open St.
Leger, a G1. She won the Group 3
Cheshire Oaks and placed in the Group 1
Yorkshire Oaks as well.
Fourth dam Whitefoot (GB) by Epsom Derby
(Group 1) winner Relko is a double
stakes winner and a half sister to two
minor stakes horses. It is obvious that
the fillies from the family are
generally better than the colts and it
is equally obvious that this is a
seriously classic grass family.

Race Record
Clearly Trickey Trevor was a tough race
horse running 47 times. He liked to win,
obviously, and was sometimes ambitiously
placed (as against Lava Man, Buzzard’s
Bay, Bordonaro, etc.)
One can only say he ran off the speed in
his pedigree (x2 Raise a Native plus the
x2 Double Jay and x2 *Turn-to, all
rather close in in his lineage).
However, given his female family, I
would not necessarily expect him to
breed like he ran. His pedigree says he
is entirely capable of siring horses who
can go two turns, and who will like
grass as well.
Best Lines and Crosses
• I don’t see how you can avoid In
Excess here, but be prepared. When his
soft ankles meet that Raise a Native
double in this horse, they may not make
it to the track. If, however, they do
they will probably be good ones. His
sire, Siberian Express, is like Mr.
Prospector and Seattle Slew, tail-female
to Myrtlewood.
• Viceregal and Victoria Park are not
common these days, but they can be found
if you give it a whirl. Intriguingly
enough, one place you can get it that
fits this horse like a glove is with
your former sire, Flying Victor. He not
only gives you three-quarter siblings
Victorian Heiress and Vice Regent, but
also a cross of full brothers Draeh/Occupy.
This also applies to his full brother,
Vying Victor, who stood in British
Columbia (doing quite well). Some of his
daughters should be available in
Washington and Western Canada. Their
half brother, Sharp Victor, gives you
the Victorian Heiress/Vice Regent cross
but lacks the Draeh/Occupy.
• You also can use daughters of your new
sire Muqtarib if there are any out there
to be used. This gives you half siblings
Lodge/Habitat; half brothers
Secretariat/Sir Gaylord x2 and Victoria
Park/Victoria Regina (x2 Victoriana). Of
course it also doubles Mr. Prospector,
but nobody seems to care about that
these days.
• I think Seattle Slew – the quicker
ones – will do well with him,
particularly those devoid of Raise a
Native. Fast Play should do well to key
off of his Seven Corners line and double
Traffic.
• If you can find any Arazi or Steinlen
mares, you can use the Dinner Partner/Bluehaze
line. This is also picked up via
Bluehaze’s full brother, Blue Swords, in
Seattle Slew’s pedigree, so that is a
plus with him.
• Graustark’s *Boudoir II line will like
more of the same: His Majesty, Majestic
Prince, Windy Sands, T. V. Commercial,
etc.
• Nodouble is harder. But the horse has
both him and Mr. Prospector, so all you
really need to do is add Smarten and/or
a Smarten-Danzig cross. Houston takes
care of part of that (Seattle Slew on
Smartaire). If you could find one with a
Danzig cross, it would be even better.
Of course, Smarten himself is welcome,
but most are back East.
• There are a handful of good ones from
Alanesian’s family including Trapp
Mountain, Home Guard and more recently
Harlan’s Holiday. Keep your eyes open
for horses carrying these lines or by
these sires.
• Little Hut’s line that is employed via
Lodge in Muqtarib is useful elsewhere:
Consider Percifal who stood near
Sacramento – if a useful daughter might
be had. Also, sires carrying Habitat’s
half brother, Northfields, like Good
Journey, could work.
• His Sir Gaylord double can be worked
by using Secretariat, or Swansea (in
Memo – this also sex-balances and
doubles Nashua via Good Manners and Gold
Digger), or Cure the Blues, whose second
dam, Speedwell, is a three-quarter
sister to Secretariat.
• By and large, I think you need to stay
away from the heavier lines in his
pedigree like Relko and inbreeding to
his European tail-female line.
The Bottom Line
Horses, of course, breed like they are
bred and not like they run. Thus even
though he was a router, *Gallant Man’s
brilliant pedigree got speed. And even
though he was a wonderful racehorse,
Spectacular Bid did not breed on because
his tail-female line was too weak to do
so.
This horse could be very much the
opposite of *Gallant Man: A brilliant
sprinter/miler type which breeds his
heavier bottom line. Until you know for
sure, I think I would tend to stick with
quicker bred mares for him, avoiding
Raise a Native lines whenever possible,
since he already has two of them.
