Like so many in the current racing population - good, bad and indifferent - Frozen Fire is inbred 3 x 3 to Northern Dancer, the connection on his distaff side coming through granddam Fabula Dancer, who was bought by Rudiger Alles for Helmut von Finck for EUR575,000 at the Keeneland July yearling sale in 1987.
Exemplificando, a fabula da galinha dos ovos de ouro encerra com a moral da historia "Quem tudo quer nada tem"; a fabula da coruja e da aguia encerra com "Quem o feio ama bonito lhe parece"; e a fabula das uvas e da raposa com "Quem desdenha quer comprar"; da tartaruga e da lebre com "Devagar se vai ao longe"; do leao e do rato com "Ninguem e tao inutil que nao possa ser util a alguem".
The treatment (both in Torres and in Perez's editing) of Fabula introduces the reader to Torres's pedagogical skill.
