TRAP GAME (USA) is a full brother to 2012 Preakness Stakes [G1] victor OXBOW, the stakes-winning and GSP sire AWESOME PATRIOT, and very closely related to spectacular Grade One winner and Haskell Invitational [G1] winner, and successful sire PAYNTER.
By Breeders’ Cup Classic [G1] winner and outstanding sire, AWESOME AGAIN, TRAP GAME (USA) is out of a full sister to two-time Breeders’ Cup Classic victor, and Horse of the Year TIZNOW, still the only back-to-back Breeders' Cup Classic [G1] winner, another who consistently ranks among North America’s best sires.
"It's likely the inspiration for the cross that led to (Trap Game (USA)), Oxbow, Awesome Patriot, and Paynter, was the superlative Ghostzapper, who's by Awesome Again out of a mare by Relaunch, the paternal grandsire of Tizamazing and Tizso." -Alan Porter
