This brings us to the role a sire’s dam plays in influencing him as a broodmare sire. When Corona Cartel sires a daughter, he is passing the X chromosome he inherited from his dam to that foal. This gives a mare by Corona Cartel a direct link to his dam Corona Chick. Thus, we know that one of the X chromosomes Remember Me Rose carries came from Corona Chick.
Now let’s look at the pedigree of Im Moonlighting, the dam of Remember Me Rose. Im Moonlighting is a 1986 mare bred by Constance Miller of Broken Bow, Oklahoma. She won six races, with one second and one third in her 14 starts. She was fourth in the Northeast Kansas QHA Futurity-G3, and fifth in the Remington Park Derby and the Blue Ribbon 440 Derby.

Im Moonlighting is the dam of 14 starters, 12 ROM, two stakes winners, one stakes placed runner and two stakes final- ists. These runners have earned $1,157,601, with Remember Me Rose winning the lion’s share of the money won by the foals out of Im Moonlighting. Her second stakes winner is MLA Rodeorose, winner of the North Texas Horse Sale Futurity-G3. Her stakes placed runner is Im Rare, who is a multiple stakes finalist with a second in the 1997 Speedhorse Gold & Silver Cup Derby-G3 and a third in the 1998 Sherman Hills Stakes. Her stakes finalists are Im Touched By Gold, a finalist in the 2003 Texas Challenge Championship, and Moonlight High, a finalist in the 1995 Longhorn Derby-G3 and Texas Derby Challenge.
The sire of Im Moonlighting is Zevi TB, who was bred by Warnerton Farms
of Kentucky. He won two races with one second and two thirds, earning $16,750. He won his maiden at Ruidoso going 4 1/2-Furlongs in :45 3/5, which was 3/5ths of a second off the track record for that distance. He is the sire of 47 Thoroughbred foals with 36 starters and 28 winners with earnings of $428,476. One of his leading winners is Grasmick Stakes winner Smoky Path with earnings of $155,413 from 85 starts, 19 wins, 18 seconds and 11 thirds.

Zevi brings in another important brood- mare sire in the pedigree of Remember Me Rose. His maternal grandget earned in excess of $30 million, with 1,553 starters, 1,120 ROM and 119 stakes winners. His foals as a broodmare sire include: Winalota Cash, the
Horse money earners of over $13 million.
His leading money winner is Strawberry Silk, the 1989 All American Futurity-G1 win-
ner. Beduino is by Romany Royal by Grey Sovereign by Nasrullah. The dam of Beduino is Jo-Ann-Cat, a daughter of Rejected, and out of Quick Eye by Depth Charge.
The dam of Chicks Beduino is A Classy Chick, a winner of 2 races with earnings of $7,195. She is the dam of two foals and one starter in Chicks Beduino. A Classy Chick
is by Chick’s Deck by Three Chicks by Three Bars TB. The dam of Chick’s Deck
is Decketta by Top Deck TB. The dam of
A Classy Chick is the Thoroughbred mare Mayshego by Mayhego, and Mayshego is out of Aegean Goddess by Greek Song.
Sizzling Lil, the dam of Corona Chick,
is a stakes placed runner in the Moon Deck Stakes. She is by Sizzle Te, who is by Azure Te TB and out of Jet’s Fair Lady by Jet Deck. The dam of Sizzling Lil is the Thoroughbred mare Lilsalady, by Reb’s Policy and out of Here’s To Lil by Exalted Rullah.
The produce record of Sizzling Lil show that she is the dam of 20 foals with 15 going to the track. They earned $2,245,452 with 13 ROM and 14 stakes wins. The 14 stakes races were won by three stakes winners: Corona Kool, Corona Chick and Corona Cocktail. Sizzling Lil was the 2001 AQHA Broodmare of the Year and she was named an AQHA Dam of Distinction in 2006.
When we look at the pedigree of Corona Chick, we see that her sire Chicks Beduino has no common ancestors in his five-gen- eration pedigree. Then we look at her dam, Sizzling Lil, and we see that she has only one common ancestor in her five-generation pedigree with a 4x5 breeding pattern to Nasrullah. When we combine Chicks Beduino with Sizzling Lil, we see a breeding pattern of 5x5x6 to Nasrullah. This tells us that Corona Chick has a hybrid type pedi- gree as the common ancestor falls outside the fourth generation.
We have seen the success of Corona Chick as a dam of sires, now let us look at her con- tribution to Corona Cartel as a broodmare sire. He is the broodmare sire of 3,880 foals, 2,370 starters, 1,850 ROM and 167 stakes winners that have earned over $62 million, making Corona Cartel the #5 all-time lead- ing maternal grandsire of money earners.
