and yes, there is a common thread to A+B+C+D+E

Answer A: Their dam is a female straight line descendant of #TheByerleyTurk Mare10.

Answer B: Their dam is a female straight line decendent of #TheByerleyTurk Mare (Family 3 mainly)

Answer C: Their Sire's Dam is a direct female descendant of #TheByerleyTurk Mare10

Answer D: Their Sire's Dam is a direct female descendent of #TheByerleyTurk Mare ( family 3 or 8)

Answer E: Their sire is a straight line descendent of #TheByerleyTurk

Isn't it time to rethink the dominance of the 2 x other foundation stallions and, more importantly recognise that mitochondria - which deliver energy to cells - is only inherited on the female line?

Horse lines with the best mitochondria (from dams) were able to develop & inherit the best strength & power (from sires) #TheByerleyTurk & his mares need to be valued & recognised before they are lost from breeding lines @itvracing @chamberlinsport @RichardHoiles

Hi ITV Racing - how about mentioning #TheByerleyTurk 's role at the Battle of the Boyne this afternoon? richardmarshauthor.wordpress.com/tag/battle-of-…

Add MInella Drama to this - #TheByerleyTurk Mare family 41 - just like Arkle

Add Minella Drama to this - just like Arkle has dam tracing back to #TheByerelyTurk Mare9 (family 41) and sire's dam goes in straight line to #TheByerleyTurk Mare10 (family 1)
