 Pedigree Matching Breeding Theory
Pedigree matching presents an opportunity to improve on the bloodlines of a sire where he may be perceived to be deficient, that is in his maternal line, by returning to him bloodlines from a mare of similar lineage that have shown themselves to be genetically stronger through performance.
For instance in the case of Hazleton Kay (Jate Lobell - Season Premiere - Niatross) few would disagree that as a racehorse Niatross, the sire of the dam, was a superior performer to JR Amy, the dam of the sire Jate Lobell, yet Niatross and JR Amy trace to the same lineage.
The goal of Pedigree Matching then is to find a way to spruce up the bloodlines in the maternal lines of the sire with the lineage in the bloodlines of the dam.
