What 54 G1 winners reveal about Cylinder’s pedigree

Versatility matters in a mating, and Cylinder brings together two influences with an exceptional record of working across a broad range of pedigrees.

His sire, Exceed And Excel, has produced 20 G1 winners from 18 different broodmare sires.

That versatility is reflected in horses including Bivouac, out of a More Than Ready mare; Cylinder, out of a Street Cry mare; Earthquake, out of a Marauding mare; Mr Stunning, out of a Dayjur mare; Mawj, out of a New Approach mare; and Guelph, out of an Elusive Quality mare.

Across those 20 G1 winners, only two broodmare sires are repeated.

The same breadth is found on the other side of Cylinder’s pedigree.

His dam, Circular, is by Street Cry, whose 34 G1 winners as a broodmare sire have been produced by 29 different sires.

That list includes Romantic Warrior by Acclamation, Rebel’s Romance by Dubawi, Broadsiding by Too Darn Hot, Beiwacht by Bivouac, Tom Kitten by Harry Angel and Treasurethe Moment by Alabama Express.

Street Cry mares have also produced G1 winners by Frankel, Kingman, Justify, Dundeel, Lonhro, Not A Single Doubt, Shamardal, Scat Daddy, Sebring and New Approach.

Cylinder combines both influences.

By Exceed And Excel and out of the Street Cry mare Circular, he won the G2 Silver Slipper and G2 Todman Stakes at two, finished second in the G1 Golden Slipper, won the G2 Run To The Rose at three and later defeated older sprinters in the G1 Newmarket Handicap.

20 G1 winners from 18 broodmare sires. 34 G1 winners from 29 sires. Two proven influences brought together in one pedigree.
