Pedigree notes

Floreal is inbred 4x5x5x5 to seven-time English champion sire Stockwell, who won the 1852 Two Thousand Guineas and St. Leger Stakes. His dam, La Rachel, is a full sister to 1899 Gran Premio Jockey Club and Gran Premio Nacional winner Valero and to 1896 Polla de Potrancos (Argentine Two Thousand Guineas) winner Talma.

The Isonomy mare Jane Hading, the dam of La Rachel and her siblings, was imported to Argentina from England in 1889. She is a full sister to Janissary, winner of the 1890 St. James's Palace Stakes, and to Janetta, third dam of 1928 Irish St. Leger winner Law Suit and 1938 City and Suburban Handicap winner Pigskin. The siblings were produced from Jannette (by Lord Clifden), an exceptional race mare who won the 1878 Oaks Stakes and St. Leger Stakes.

Produced from the juvenile stakes winner Chevisaunce (by Stockwell out of the great 19th-century foundation mare Paradigm), Jannette is a half sister to Pretence (by Gladiateur), second dam of 1896 Gran Premio Selección (Argentine Oaks) winner Colombia, who in turn produced 1903 Gran Premio Nacional winner Americo. She is also a half sister to Tullia (by Petrarch), third dam of 1912 VRC Oaks winner Moe.
