Rory's Jester's most successful sire son, Racer's Edge is bred on the prolific Star Kingdom/Northern Dancer cross and he excels with further strains of each of those legendary stallions. Six of his nine stakes winners are line-bred to Northern Dancer whilst his top three local prize money earners Changing Lanes, True Courser and Si Senor boast crosses of Star Kingdom.

Rory's Jester also loved more Star Kingdom and the most suitable strains seem to be via Biscay (Zephyr Bay, Marscay/Blazing Sword, Jackson Square, Bletchingly) and Kaoru Star (Luskin Star, Top Of The Pack).

Racer's Edge's pedigree is strongly influenced by the famed Lady Josephine family and the majority of his best progeny are out of mares boasting further crosses. He has Nasrullah, Mahmoud, Pherozshah, Faux Tirage and Fair Trial and so it is worth seeking strains of their relations Migoli, Tudor Minstrel, Aristophanes, Kalamoun, Royal Charger, Nilo, Jambo, Badruddin, Abernant, The Recorder, Test Case and

Prince Taj.

Broodmare sires who bring in desirable strains of this family include Rubiton, Nassipour, Kreisler, Danewin, Commands, Mossman, Kenmare, Nediym/General Nediym, Adraan, Golden Snake, Prego, Kaapstad, Octagonal, Dangerous, Telesto, Knowledge, Celtic Swing, Estaminet and Canny Lad.

Strains of the close relatives The Minstrel and New Regent are good for Racer's Edge who carries a strain of the former's three-quarter brother Nijinsky II. Line-breeding to this family has proven extremely successful – Racer's Edges' tough Gr.3 winner Changing Lane one example. Nijinsky II is also a solid line-breeding subject, the stakes placed Free Sea boasting a duplication.

Outstanding broodmare Schiaparelli whose grandson Shantung is the dam sire of Racer's Edge's second dam sire Bright Finish is another proven line-breeding force – stakes winner New Edge is line-bred to her whilst Racer's Run carries a cross of Shantung's dam Barley Corn. These mares are easily found in Last Tycoon, Made Of Gold, Keltrice, Spartacus, Picnicker, Celtic Swing, Plush, Almurtajaz, High Regard, Humam, Sanction, Sakana, Marechal, Show A Heart, Wiganthorpe, Sandpit, Pride Of Kellina and Steel Glow.

Members of the Mr Prospector line are also suitable for Racer's Edge who carries strain of that great stallion's relations Tourbillon and Roan Rocket. Jugah also hails from this family and Racer's Edge's stakes winner Surtees is out of one of his daughters.

Mares carrying strains of the half brothers Habitat and Northfields are also of interest providing for the duplication of the excellent mare Khara – third dam of Godswalk's sire Dancer's Image. The smart stakes placed Abyssinian is bred along these lines.

Mares by Bluebird, Snappy Landing, Dolphin Street, Reset and More Than Ready make line-breeding to the family of Godswalk's second dam sire Hill Prince possible and daughters of More Than Ready are of particular interest as they also provide the chance to duplicate another top mare in La Mirambule, dam of Racer's Edge's third dam sire In The Purple.

Owners of Brave Salute mares have a unique opportunity to line-breed to the top class Australian mare How Now, dam of Brave Salute and third dam of Racer's Edge.

Aurora is another fine mare worthy of duplication. She appears in Racer's Edge's pedigree through her son Alycidon. Look for strains of his brothers Acropolis, Agricola and Borealis. Note also that Racer's Edge has shown an affinity with mares from the Century, Star Way and Snippets (the successful Lunchtime/Star Kingdom cross) lines.
