‘The General’ has proven himself a remarkable sire from a host of bloodlines although 3 foundation sires make up the platform for his progeny success, these being SIR IVOR, STAR KINGDOM and NORTHERN DANCER, perhaps none more prevalent than the blood of the latter. Eleven out of General Nediym’s 13 Stakeswinners descend from the legendary Northern Dancer including his dual Gr.1 winning sprinter Regimental Gal. Inbreeding to Northern Dancer has been an outstanding source of stakes winners. Northern Dancer line sires including DANEHILL, SADLER’S WELLS, BLUEBIRD, LAST TYCOON, NUREYEV and NIJINSKY have all shared in a vast array of success with mares carrying Northern Dancer in their pedigree.

Granddaughters of Danehill appeal as more than suitable for General Nediym, in particular those with Sir Ivor and Star Kingdom in their blood. REDOUTE’S CHOICE, DANZERO, SHOVHOG, CATBIRD, FLYING SPUR and NOTHIN LEICA DANE are just a few sires whose daughters would be well suited to ‘The General’.

SIR IVOR is just as dominant a force in the success of General Nediym. Outstanding filly I Got Chills and the smart pair Ra Sun and General Bayton are all out of Sir Tristram line mares. Also, exciting fillies Nediym’s Glow and Admirelle are also descendents.

Sir Ivor’s grandson MILITARY PLUME should also be strongly considered as talented 3yo Ambitious General is evidence of this cross.

Mares by SOVEREIGN RED, MARAUDING and certainly ZABEEL, as he possesses Northern Dancer through his dam sire Nureyev, would be more than suitable candidates.

STAR KINGDOM is ideal for General Nediym considering the success of the cross with Northern Dancer. Certainly BISCAY and his sons MARSCAY and BLETCHINGLY as well as LUSKIN STAR and COVETOUS would be highly suited.

The MARSCAY cross, in particular, has produced what many believe the fastest 2yo seen this year in Victory Chant.
