Pedigree notes

Super Power is outcrossed through five generations. He is a full brother to 2000 American champion older female Riboletta and to restricted stakes winner Tamara Princess. He is also a half brother to stakes winner Forest Attack (by Forestry) and to Perfect Valley (by Clackson), dam of 2010 Acacia Handicap (SAF-G3) winner Milk and Honey (by Belong to Me) and second dam of South African Group 2 winner Sweetie Pie.

Super Power and his siblings are out of Brazilian listed stakes winner Joy Valley, whose dam Belle Valley (by 1985 Champagne Stakes, USA-G1, winner Mogambo, by Mr. Prospector) was a multiple Group 1 winner in Brazil. Produced from My Valley, a French import by 1962 French champion 3-year-old male Val de Loir out of the Tourment mare Emmy, Belle Valley is from a female line tracing back to two-time French champion filly Mistress Ford.
