10/29/16 Flight Time and the Wing Commander Legacy part 7

The final installment of the Wing Commander Legacy series includes a few more stallions tracing back to CH Wind Commander on their sire line.  Some of these are holding on by a thread, and there's also a list of lines from some Wing Commander sons that have completely died out.  Previous posts have looked at Yorktown, Callaway's Johnny Gillen, Wing's Fleet Admiral and Chief of Greystone.  All of these are relatively robust lines, although Chief of Greystone is dwindling.  Today's post looks at Flight Time and Buck and Wing.  Remember, this is only looking at intact sire lines, not show horses, or good producing daughters.  These horses may be represented in other ways on today's pedigrees, not only through stallion sons.  First we'll look at the Wing Commander sons, then their sons/grandsons, and finally, the lost lines.   Subsequent generations are indented and modern day stallion still standing at stud are highlighted in yellow.

A few stallions like Castle Bravo passed on recently, so there may be more stallion sons coming up in the future.  Let's hope so.

10/22/16 Chief of Greystone, the Wing Commander Legacy part 6

The Wing Commander sire lines has become quite the project!  Part 6 looks at current stallions tracing to CH Wing Commander through his son, Chief of Greystone.  Foaled in 1962, he was out of  Carol Trigg BHF by Kalarama Denmark.  He was a full brother  to such illustrious siblings as CH Rebel Command, CH Princess Trigg, Delightful Time, Empress Wing, Lady Trigg BHF and Wing Shot.  That was a pretty good cross.  Chief of Greystone was also a World's Champion, winning the 5-Gaited Stallion stake at the Kentucky State Fair in both 1966 and 1967.  Like Callaways' Johnny Gillen, nearly all of Chief of Greystone's stallion lines flow through only one offspring, his son Attache.  Stallions still standing at stud are highlighted in yellow, and subsequent generations are indented and marked with the symbols Ø ,o   and § .   It's hard to be certain of all the stallions' status, as some haven't produced in a few years, but may still be available.
