Pedigree notes
G1 Statistics
Cylinder’s sire Exceed And Excel has left 20 individual G1 winners by 18 different sires showing his versatility which we can also expect from Cylinder. Exceed And Excel has two G1 winners out of Street Cry mares (including Cylinder himself) and two out of Elusive Quality mares, demonstrating a nick with the Mr Prospector line. Cylinder is from the Lonhro family who produced thirteen G1 winners with twelve different broodmare sires.
Best Nicks
Cylinder’s sire has produced Stakes winners out of daughters of over 30 different broodmare sires indicating versatility and most individual Stakes winners are out of mares by Elusive Quality, Encosta De Lago, Lonhro, Snippets and Singspiel. His best percentages are with mares by Gone West, Snippets, Elusive Quality, Dehere, Singspiel and Encosta De Lago.
Inbreeding/Linebreeding options
Cylinder’s pedigree features several very influential mares offering a range of ways to create inbreeding and linebreeding patterns. From the renowned stallion-making family of Lonhro and Grosvenor his dam Circular features the Blue Hen mares Helen Street, Coup De Folie, Shadea and Gay Poss. Cylinder is himself the result of one of his sire’s best nicks with Mr Prospector, but he is free of the Sadler’s Wells (and his full-brother Fairy King, sire of Encosta De Lago), Storm Cat and Green Desert lines which are generally good foils for both Cylinder’s grandsire Danehill and his broodmare sire Street Cry.
