Sportswriter

Sportswriter has a stamina-oriented pedigree that leans more towards dirt than turf. Every sire in Sportswriter’s second and third generations won at 1 ¼ miles at the top level, which is fairly rare to find in a modern pedigree. His dam Point Spread won at first asking, but failed to hit the board in two other starts. She’s a half sister to the multiple stakes placed Holy Capote, who raced over dirt and turf. This immediate branch of the female family hasn’t produced notable blacktype winners, but the top mare Excellent Meeting and sire Doneraile Court are relatives.
