Maurice’s note: "Here we have crossed in some sprint to middle distance blood from White Man." The sire is "Curran & Rush" (B24-6020306), a son of "Nordic King" (Rene Vervoort) and a brother to the world famous "White Man", who is himself the sire of "Olympic Rico". The dam is a sister to Miss Maurice.
From the O’Donnell card: "Curran & Rush", son of Nordic King, over a sister to Miss Maurice
The Sire — B24-6020306 "Curran & Rush"
Son of Nordic King · brother to White Man, sire of Olympic Rico
A son of "Nordic King" (B22-6075483) of Rene Vervoort, and a brother to the world famous "White Man" — the sire of "Olympic Rico".
His dam is "Tiger Roll" (IHU19-094294), credited on the card with 14 × 1st prize winners and described as a super breeding hen.
In short: the sire line is the O’Donnell foundation, and it is the reason this family sells worldwide.
The Dam — IHU20-068336
Sister to Miss Maurice
A sister to Miss Maurice, by Star Boy out of B16-6037045.

THE FAMILY’S CURRENT FORM
The O’Donnell card adds two current results for the family: a double grandson of Star Boy won the MNFC from Isigny-sur-Mer against 4,200+ birds for the Willott Partnership, and a grandchild bred the 1st Open winner of the Midlands National from France for Kev Parsons. The Pattaya International has been won out of this family against 13,000 birds.
BREEDING CHARACTER
A deliberate speed cross. Both of the sire’s parents are producers with counted results — Nordic King through White Man and Olympic Rico, Tiger Roll through fourteen first-prize winners — so the sprint half of this pedigree is not a name, it is a record. The dam’s half is the One Loft family unchanged.
SUMMARY
IHU26-067405 is a Rene Vervoort cross out of a sister to Miss Maurice, bred by Maurice O’Donnell. Behind it: a SAMDPR Knockout Winner, a Pattaya International winner, an Algarve Golden Race co-winner and Barcelona National Ace form.
