The best son of the burgeoning young sire Downbytheseaside, Pebble Beach is not only a grandson of the great Somebeachsomewhere – he’s his richest grandson.

So when looking at what mares might suit Pebble Beach we should start with what has worked with other members of this incredible sireline.

In the Northern Hemisphere the Somebeachsomewhere sireline has been incredibly potent and produced superior performers when crossed with Western Hanover, Cam Fella and Artsplace line mares.

While in the Southern Hemisphere we have seen the same pattern, with the addition of Direct Scooter line mares.

Horses like Catch A Wave and Its All About Faith are both by Captaintreacherous out of Christian Cullen mares, while Downbytheseaside’s top two performers in New Zealand are also out of Christian Cullen mares.

Another aspect in a mare’s pedigree we would ideally look for is multiple strains of Meadow Skipper.

Western Hanover line stallions include American Ideal, Rock N Roll Heaven, Rocknroll Hanover, Western Terror, Western Ideal, Jeremes Jet, Badlands Hanover, etc.

Cam Fella line stallions include Bettors Delight, Roll With Joe, Fake Left, Armbro Operative, Four Starzzz Shark, Blissfull Hall, Betterthancheddar, etc.

Artsplace line stallions include Art Major, Sportswriter, Grinfromeartoear, Major In Art, etc.
