the track, including 1976 Old South Futurity winner Ole Sport. The Ole Man was inducted in the AQHA Hall of Fame in 2018.
The last foals out of Chicado V were Successor by Go Man
Go and Aisal by Double Bid. Successor was a AA/ROM runner with no wins in eight starts. Aisal was an unraced mare who is the dam of five racing ROM.
When we delve into the pedigree of Chicado V, we find
an interesting breeding pattern that will take us to “Inbreeding
to Superior Females.” This is the long standing breeding theory or pattern as defined by the late Leon Rasmussen and his fellow pedigree analyst Rommy Faversham. These two pedigree gurus have long studied the influence of mares
on the modern Thoroughbred, and we will use some of what
they have professed to show how Chicado V has influenced the breed through her sons Triple Chick and Three Chicks.
We will start with the pedigree of Chicaro Bill and then concentrate on the pedigree of Do Good.
Chicaro Bill is by Chicaro, the famous Thoroughbred we see in so many pedigrees. Chicaro is by Chicle and out of Wendy. Chicle is by Spearmint and out of Lady Hamburg by Hamburg, who is out of Lady Reel, a daughter of Mannie Gray. Wendy is by Peter Pan by Commando by Domino, who is out of Mannie Gray. This gives us an example of “inbreeding to a superior female” with a 5x5 breeding pattern.
The pedigree of Do Good will be based on the AQHA Registration Application submitted when she was registered. She is by St Louis by Eck Davis TB. The dam of St Louis is Old Flossie by a stallion named Baby. The dam of Old Flossie is Old Dutch.
The dam of Do Good is Little Flossie, who became Flossie when she was registered. Flossie is by Duggan by Baby and out of Old Flossie. The dam of Flossie is Old Floridene by Harmon Baker, who is by Peter McCue and out of Nona P. The dam of Old Floridene is Little Dutch by Clay McGonigal. The dam of Little Dutch is Old Dutch. This gives Do Good a breeding pattern of 3x4x4 to Old
Dutch and shows “inbreeding to a superior female.”
So, how do we apply this breeding theory to our current runners? We will answer that question with some of the horses highlighted in this profile, including Scooper Chick, Three Oh’s, Chick’s Deck, Tres Seis and maybe a few more.

2018 All American Derby-G1 winner Hotstepper will serve as our example. This 2015 gelding came into the All American Derby with a record of near misses, including
a second in the 2017 Texas Classic Futurity-G1, a third in the 2017 All American Futurity-G1 and
a fourth in the 2018 Rainbow Derby-G1. His earnings stood
