Sempre inicio minha inspeção de pedigree pela linha materna, que acho ser o pilar principal que mantém a plenitide clássica de qualquer elemento destinado as corridas. Awtaad é um 13-c, pelo seu mais fértil segmento, o estabelecido por Myrtlewood nos Estados Unidos. Um segmento que entre outras reliquias é responsável por Mr. Prospector e Seattle Slew. Aliás a quarta mãe de Awtaad, é uma irmã materna de Seattle Slew, e inteira de Seattle Dancer. Logo existe muita classe advinda por ai.
A mãe de Awtaad, Asherah, uma ganhadora de apenas uma carreira, é uma filha do French Derby winner Shamardal numa ganhadora de três, por Sahim. Sahim, que ganhou seu grupo 2, mais por persistencia do que propriamente classe, era erigido em purpura: Mr. Prospector em Salsabil, uma filha de Sadlers Wells e a única égua a ganhar o Irish Derby.
Pequeno parênteses. Por estas coincidências da vida, Sahim viveu pouco como sua mãe, sendo ele o único macho por ela gerado. Fecho parênteses.
Atwaad tinha como terceira mãe uma riverman e como quarta a já citada filha de My Charmer, por Nijinsky. Logo, uma estrutura genética consubstanciada em classe por todos os lados. E Cape Cross dispensa qualquer tipo de comentários. Um milheiro capaz de gerar a ganhadores do Arco e da Breeders Filly and Mare, e que agora na milha apresenta suas credenciais por intermédio de Atwaad.
Da onde veio a força deste ganhador? Não sei. Ou melhor, sei que pode ter vindo de todos os lados. Num conjunto de qualidades que tão bem se misturaram. Porém, créditos devem ser dados a Cape Cross, que nunca deixou na mão aqueles que nele confiaram. Quanto as filhas de Shamardal...
