​Latencia (ARG)

July 25, 1989 – c. 2011

El Asesor (ARG) x Histeria (ARG), by Con Brio II (GB)

Family 9-g


The best racer sired by 1983 Polla de Potrillos (Argentine Two Thousand Guineas, ARG-G1) winner El Asesor, Latencia earned Argentine Broodmare of the Year honors based on her son Latency’s Horse of the Year campaign in 2007. Unfortunately, Latency made little mark at stud from limited opportunities, and it remains to be seen whether Latencia will have significant influence through her daughters.

A bay mare; no further information available.


As a producer

Latencia produced 10 named foals of racing age, of which seven started and six won. Her important foals are as follow:
  • La Thibon (1996, by Potrillazo) won three of 18 starts. She is the dam of 2011 Premio Omega (ARG-G3) winner La Tremoille (by Shuttle Diplomacy).
  • Latency (2001, by Slew Gin Fizz) won five Argentine championships including a 2007 title as Horse of the Year. He sired only one stakes winner from 68 foals.


Connections

Latencia was bred by Haras Don Yayo. She was owned by Dardo Fernández Aramburu’s Haras Las Dos Manos as a racer and broodmare. She last appears in Argentine produce records as having failed to produce a foal to a cover by Manipulator in 2011.



Pedigree notes

Latencia is outcrossed through five generations. She is a full sister to Argentine listed stakes winner Sinapsis. She is also a half sister to Argentine listed stakes winner Cronaxia (by Good Bloke), dam of 2006 Argentine champion 3-year-old filly and Mare of the Year Emotion Parade (by Parade Marshal) and 2002 Gran Premio Copa de Plata-R. V. Massilla (ARG-G1) winner
Empeñosa Fitz (by Fitzcarraldo) and third dam of multiple Argentine Group 1 winner Emotion Orpen and Argentine Group 3 winner Empeñosa Rimout.

Latencia and her siblings were produced from Histeria, a winning full sister to 1983 Gran Premio Ciudad de Buenos Aires (ARG-G1) winner Emociones. Histeria’s dam Emotive (by Tang) is a half sister to 1967/68 Brazilian champion 3-year-old filly Embuche (by Le Haar), was by the French-bred stallion Tang  and was imported to Argentina in utero. Emotive is also a half sister to Embuia (by Sunny Boy), dam of multiple Brazilian Group 1 winner Emerald Hill (by Locris) and third dam of 1993 Grande Prêmio Ipiranga (Brazilian Two Thousand Guineas, BRZ-G1) winner Subaru Purple and Brazilian Group 2 winners Abracado and Jandira Baby.

Emotive is out of 1958/59 Brazilian champion 3-year-old filly Emoción (by 1943 Italian champion 3-year-old male and two-time Italian champion sire Orsenigo), a half sister to 1961/62 Brazilian champion 3-year-old male Emerson (by Coaraze) and to 1960 Grande Prêmio Ipiranga winner Empyreu (by Coaraze). Emoción, in turn, was produced from 1948 Argentine champion 3-year-old filly Empeñosa, who swept both the Polla de Potrancas (Argentine One Thousand Guineas) and Gran Premio Seleccion (Argentine Oaks) of her year and trained on to be a major winner in Argentina in 1949 and one of the best Brazilian-based sprinters of 1950. Empeñosa was sired by two-time Argentine champion sire Full Sail out of the Congreve mare Ermua. The female line traces back to the great Argentine foundation mare Ante Diem.
