LEADING FEMALE TAIL CLUSTERS - nick 19 from Origin

The female tail line [Focus on the third dam's sire]

- starting from the stallion at the bottom of the 4th gen in the pedigree:

This is highlighting the stallion which sits at the end/start of the tail line of the racehorse:

[Racehorse] ▶️ DAM ~ GRAND DAM - GREAT GRAND DAM ◀️ [Cluster stallion]

Then the major nicks are traced and recorded in two spots:

Nick 19 from origin

Nick 21 from origin [the grand son of nick 19 stallion].

The stallion in gen 4 [Sire of the 3rd Dam] will be noted on the lineage and then shown within his stallion cluster at nicks 19 and 21 as shown:

Pharos will always be the leader in this section by sheer volume of broodmares from that stallion stem at nick 19 represented at the bottom of fourth generation [dam - grand dam - great grand dam].
