In today's Pedigree Boosters, we look at three lots on offer at the National Yearling Sale which have had an update to their page from recent winners.
Today's selection includes a Zoustar filly with a couple of in-form siblings, a regally-bred Sebring colt whose family are in great touch and a daughter of Hinchinbrook who has had some international black type added to the pedigree.
Lot 1334, Zoustar x Shampz (Stratum) - On account of Rosemont Stud
This filly's dam Shampz has already produced two winners, including Shampz Again (Zoustar), who won back-to-back races in Hobart for Scott Brunton in July, joining Another Shampz (Zoustar) as a multiple winner. A third Zoustar, Shamzou, who is owned in the same interests, recently ran a very good second at Pakenham for Levi Kavanagh.
That trio and this filly are all closely related to Listed winner Veuvelicious (Northern Meteor), which is a family that goes back to European stakes winners Wavey (GB) (Kris {GB}), Rebuff (GB) (Kris {GB}) and Hesperia (GB) (Slip Anchor {GB}).
Lot 1334 - Zoustar x Shampaz (filly)
Lot 1362, Sebring x Tracy's Image (Encosta De Lago) - On account of Element Hill
This colt's pedigree is one that probably doesn't need much of an update ahead of the Sale, but this colt's family can't stop winning of late. His half-sister Redoute's Image (Redoute's Choice) broke her maiden at Canterbury recently, while a close relative Tracy May (Redoute's Choice) won a recent race on the Gold Coast and another of Tracy's Element's grandsons, Ehsaan (SAF) (Captain Al {SAF}), was a winner in Mauritius.
The dam, Tracy's Image is, of course, a half-sister to champion mare Typhoon Tracy (Red Ransom {USA}) as well as Red Element (Red Ransom {USA}) and is a three-quarter sister to Lake Superior (Encosta De Lago), the dam of G1 Australian Guineas winner Alligator Blood (All Too Hard).

Lot 1389, Hinchinbrook x Alalunga (USA) (Machiavellian {USA}) - On account of Widden Stud
This filly's dam, Alalunga, has already produced two stakes performers in Australia in Almindoro (Redoute's Choice) and No Doubt (Not A Single Doubt), but it is her family further back that has been getting the job done internationally.
Skywire (Can) (Afleet Alex {USA}) has won both the G2 Eclipse S. and G3 Seagram Cup at Woodbine in the past month. She shares the same third dam as this filly, No Class (Can) (Nodouble {USA}), who also features in the pedigree of Galilean (USA) (Uncle Mo {USA}), who has won stakes races at Del Mar and Los Alamitos in the past six weeks.
