Danehill dominance AFTER the retirement of Frankel, more maternal grandchildren of Danehill emerged into the limelight in 2013 to give the late Coolmore stallion a third consecutive leading broodmare sire title by progeny earnings. Prix du Jockey Club hero Intello and Prix Jean Romanet winner Romantica became the seventh and eighth top-level scorers bred on the magical Galileo-Danehill cross that produced Frankel, while My Titania is by Galileo’s half-brother Sea The Stars out of a Danehill mare. Danehill proved his versatility with his daughters also nicking with Iffraaj to produce top juvenile filly Chriselliam and King’s Best to produce high-class stayer Royal Diamond. Mares by ever-dependable damsire Sadler’s Wells produced 2013 European Group 1 winners Flintshire, Neatico and The Fugue, while another mainstay of this table, Darshaan, sired the dams of Al Kazeem, Estimate and Indonesienne.

Craftsman the master DANDY MAN set the early pace in the first-season sires’ race but at the end of the season there was a clear winner in terms of individual winners and prize-money: Mastercraftsman, who was also the only one to sire more than one stakes winner – four altogether, headed by unbeaten Racing Post Trophy hero Kingston Hill, writes Martin Stevens. Intense Focus was the only other freshman sire to supply a Group 1 winner, with his son Astaire (below) adding the Middle Park Stakes to an earlier score in the Gimcrack Stakes. Mastercraftsman’s old racecourse rival Sea The Stars was towards the back of the field early in the season but ran on well when the 7f and one-mile juvenile races kicked in. He finished with a double-digit tally of winners, including several intriguing maiden scorers and exciting CL Weld Park Stakes winner My Titania.
