Native Trail
B 2019 16.1½HH (1.66M)
Oasis Dream – Needleleaf (Observatory)
Standing at Kelvinside, NSW
The best unbeaten juvenile colt descended from Danzig and from the same Green Desert sire line as I Am Invincible. Unbeaten leader of his crop at two, like Shamardal, Pinatubo and City Of Troy – and faster in the G1 Dewhurst than them all. Also faster winning the G1 Irish 2,000 Guineas than Kingman, Churchill, Paddington – and Dubawi.

Pedigree notes
An undefeated Champion Two-Year-Old, hails from the Green Desert sire line, a lineage that has significantly impacted Australian racing through successful sires I Am Invincible and Kingman. Native Trail is the son of a Champion Sprinter and out of a full sister to another Champion Sprinter.
G1 Statistics
Native Trail’s sire, Oasis Dream, has left 18 individual G1 winners from daughters of a wide range of broodmare sires.
- 6/18 are out of Northern Dancer line mares.
- 3/18 are daughters of Nijinsky
- 5/18 are out of Mr Prospector line mares including Native Trail himself.
- 2/18 are out of daughters of Machiavellian.
- 3/18 are out of Ahonoora line mares.
- 2/18 are daughters of Inchinor
Best Nicks
The nicking patterns for Native Trail’s sire Oasis Dream show most Stakes winners out of mares by Selkirk, Pivotal (Nureyev line), Indian Ridge (Ahonoora line), Machiavellian, Sadler’s Wells and Rainbow Quest.
Inbreeding/Linebreeding options
Native Trail’s pedigree features several of the most effective nicks and crosses in modern pedigrees.
These include:
- The Danzig/Mr Prospector cross
- The Mr Prospector/Nijinsky cross
- The Blushing Groom/Nijinsky cross
Summary
Native Trail's pedigree is notable for its absence of Sadler's Wells, Fairy King and Storm Cat bloodlines, which creates excellent opportunities for matings with those lines. Mares by Sadler's Wells, High Chaparral, So You Think, Dundeel, Toronado, Giant's Causeway, Shamardal, or their sons would be particularly well-suited. Mares by Street Cry or Street Boss would replicate the successful G1 cross of Native Trail's sire, Oasis Dream. Further reinforcement of the Mr. Prospector strain in Native Trail's dam line is also desirable.
