Family Ties - Well Related GGs Going Around

There is an interesting first starter (or two) in R1 the 2yo at Kilmore tonight

Emerging Talent = American Ideal x Hectic

Hectic (NZ name Shezagolddigger) who raced in Aus (apart from 2 NZ starts) was a good mare who won 3 in town and nearly got to $100k thanks to 14 wins

Hectic = I Am A Fool x Alldatglittersisgold

I Am A Fool only had the 2004-5 season in NZ (served 91 but only 54% return) with Hectic being about as good as he threw (he did have one US millionaire) but why Emerging Talent gets a gig in this thread is that 2nd dam of hers - the matriarch of the Bling dynasty
