STRONG MATERNAL BLOODLINES

Kyvalley Diablo and Ikigai share a strong French maternal bloodline.

Each of the last-start Yabby Dam Farms-bred winners are out of Ready Cash Fra mares.

Classic Connection Fra 2yo gelding Kyvalley Diablo won on debut at Bendigo on June 20.

He’s the first winner out of Ready To Shine.

Ikigai captured her 10th win at Albion Park on June 9 - giving the 5yo mare three wins in a row.

She is the only winner out of Orne.

Ready Cash has produced five mares in Australia which have gone on to produce winners as a dam.

Bouttemont is the most successful, leaving three winners from as many foals to race.

INTERESTING to see the only YDF-bred foal out of Gerron debuting at Kilmore on Thursday night (June 18).

Ripping Ronaldo is a 3yo gelding by Classic Connection.

Gerron is out of outstanding producer Pretty Peggy Sue, a dam of six winners including group 1 winner Kinvara Sue and Pretty Majestic, and the group 1-placed and Group 3 winner Rave On Hall.

Kinvara Sue has left two winners, including unbeaten 2yo Bumper Crop.
