Elaina has it once again -- Cinderella (by Tomahawk or Blue Ruin) is the dam of Hastings (ancestor of the Man o' War/In Reality male line) and Plaudit (ancestor of Dr. Fager and Holy Bull). Her daughter Slippers produced 1913 Preakness Stakes winner Buskin and bred on through her daughter Polly Flinders, granddam of 1927 Kentucky Derby winner Whiskery and 1928 Preakness Stakes winner Victorian and ancestress of 1980 American champion 2-year-old filly Heavenly Cause and other good horses. The famous white Thoroughbred White Beauty (the first of her color to be registered by The Jockey Club) and her family also descend from Polly Flinders.
