Westbred Pacing
Pedigree
Captain Ahab is a quality young horse – he was foaled in 2016 – bred on a classic cross of blood – that of Captaintreacherous his sire and Western Ideal his maternal sire.
​
Captaintreacherous, sire of Captain Ahab, is America’s leading sire of two and three-year-olds and the leading sire of two-year-olds in Australia this year. A champion pacer himself, with a record of 1:47.2, Captaintreacherous was the first two-year-old to win four races inside 1:50; he was the 2YO and 3YO of the Year and won almost $3 million to the end of his two and three-year-old racing. Captaintreacherous’ sons are now greatly in demand at stud in both America and Australia.
​
On his dam’s side, Captain Ahab belongs to a family which has made a real impact on the American breeding scene. He is out of the Western Ideal mare Acquavella, a sister to the Metro Pace winner and USA 2YO Colt of the Year Artspeak 1:47.4 ($1.6 million), now siring winners in America.
​
Captain Ahab ranks as a half-sister to the Sarataga Raceway two-year-old track record holder Heart Of Mine 1:53.4 ($204,631).
An upstanding bay of 16 hands, Captain Ahab has stood his first two seasons at the prestige Pin Oak Lane Farm in Pennsylvania where his first crop are foals.
​
Captain Ahab is bred on the same cross as the 2019 USA 2YO Filly of the Year Lyons Sentinel 1:48.4 ($1,260,886).
Captain Ahab is a Direct Scooter line horse – that which produced Somebeachsomewhere – and carries a 3x3 cross to Artsplace and a 4x4 cross to Matt’s Scooter.
​
He should prove a good cross to mares boasting the blood of Cam Fella (Bettor’s Delight, Roll With Joe, Betterthancheddar, Armbro Operative, Presidential Ball, Washington VC, etc), Falcon Seelster (McArdle, Elsu, Ultimate Falcon, Million To One, Rich And Spoilt, etc) and the Western Hanover line.
​
The duplication of the blood of Artsplace with his sire Captaintreacherous has proven to be a success with the likes of Tough Tilly, Lightning Dan, Captain Crunch, Captain Barbossa and Capt Midnight.
