Pedigree Analysis

Z Fortune is by Siphon (Brz), a Grade 1 winner in his native Brazil before being brought to America where his most important victories were the Hollywood Gold Cup (G1) and the Santa Anita H. (G1), both over ten furlongs. Siphon possessed tremendous early speed and indeed both of these Grade 1 victories were achieved in dominating front-running fashion, a style which has been passed on to many of his offspring. Indeed Siphonic, from Siphon's very first crop, won Keeneland's Lanes End Breeders' Futurity (G2) going wire-to-wire.
