For Te shows us that her dam Lucky Stepper was a granddaughter of Three Bars and Top Deck. The Advance Man was out of Howdy Sis, a daughter of Jet Deck a grandson of Top Deck, and Jet Deck was out of Miss Night Bar, a granddaughter of Three Bars. The dam of Howdy Sis is Miss Breeze Bar, a granddaughter of Three Bars.
