CITY LIGHT

By Siyouni Son of Champion sire Siyouni and grandson of Gr.1 winner Leariva, City Light conveys speedy bloodlines which have left an indelible mark on the history of French breeding thanks to the influences of Kenmare and Luthier.

A talented performer at Gr.1 level over six to seven furlongs, he is the only stallion by Siyouni to have raced successfully at the highest level over six furlongs. A dual Gr.3 winner, City Light won on his debut as a juvenile. A black-type colt at three years old, he demonstrated great consistency to be placed in the first two six times out of his seven outings during that season.

As a four-year-old, he scored three consecutive victories: on his seasonal debut at Chantilly, then in the Sprint Championships Stakes at Lingfield and then the Prix de SaintGeorges Gr.3 before being beaten by the narrowest of margins in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes Gr.1 at Royal Ascot by dual Gr.1 winner Merchant Navy. On that occasion he beat three Gr.1 winners, including The Tin Man and Harry Angel.

During his final season on the track as a five-year-old, City Light was again active at the top level, finishing with remarkable speed in the Qatar Prix de la Forêt Gr.1 to take second place behind the dual titleholder One Master. This was his final race in a marvellous career which totalled seven successes and nine second places.

City Light took up stallion duties while healthy and sound, and he generated a strong interest among French breeders for each of his first three seasons at stud, during which he covered 137, 119 and 112 mares respectively.

24 new sire names on this autumn’s yearling catalogues

Welcome to the party!

T

WENTY-FOUR colts found places at stud in Europe for 2020 standing at fees of €/£3,000 or above, with the highest-priced the two-year-old champion of 2018 and champion three-year-old of 2019, Too Darn Hot. The son of Dubawi, whose stud plans were finalised in his juvenile year, stood at a starter fee of £50,000 at Dalham Hall Stud, a price that has been marginally tweaked since to £45,000 for 2021 and 2022.

Following him on the price list was fellow Darley sire Blue Point, who had collected two Royal Ascot Group 1 sprints in his final year of racing.

He retired to Kildangan Stud in Ireland, the former home of his daddy Shamardal, at a first fee for 2020 of €45,000. Again it is a sum that has only been reduced by €5,000 for the two subsequent covering seasons.

Coolmore’s Ten Sovereigns, Magna Grecia and Calyx, alongside the National Stud’s Advertise,were the other stallions on the 2020 roster to start their stud careers off with fees over €/£20,000.

Too Darn Hot and Blue Point subsequently headed the average foal prices at the 2021 autumn sales with the Watership Down-bred stallion the only sire to achieve a six-figure average, Blue Point once again in his shadow with an average just over 80,000gns.

Foals by Ten Sovereigns, Magna Grecia, Waldgeist and Advertise were all particularly well-received by buyers and pinhookers, their first drafts all

averaging over 40,000gns.

Supersire Galileo, as well as emerging sire of sires No Nay Never, Showcasing and Siyouni, are all represented by two sons in this batch of young stallions, while Invincible Spirit is the daddy – he has three stallion sons with first yearlings this year – Eqtidaar, Inns Of Court and Invincible Army.

The Arc de Triomphe hero Waldgeist boasts the highest Timeform rating of the 24 – the Arc de Triomphe winner achieved a mark of 132 and was the only stallion in this roster rated over 130.

Ten Sovereigns just missed the benchmark figure on 129, Too Darn Hot was a length behind on 127, while the Irish 2,000 Guineas winner Phoenix Of Spain, the Coventry Stakes (G2) winner Calyx and City Light all achieved Timeform highs of 126.

With an Arc winner, a Derby hero, a dual champion, British and Irish 2,000 Guineas winners, as well as winners of the Middle Park, the Phoemix Stakes and the Commonwealth Cup in the ranks, the batch of sires who retired to stud for 2020 have a broad range of appeal.

Yearling buyers should certainly ensure that offerings by these sires are on the long lists.

soldier’s call

F

ROM A HIGH-ACHIEVING TALENT on the track to a promising and popular recruit at stud, Soldier’s Call has long since been on a positive trajectory and will enter the next phase of his career later this year when his highly anticipated debut crop of yearlings reaches the sales.

Joe Foley, racing and bloodstock advisor to owner Steve Parkin of Clipper Logistics, has been with Soldier’s Call at just about every step along the way, from purchasing the horse as a yearling, breaking and pre-training him at his Ballyhane Stud, to managing his racing career and now overseeing his early years among the stallion ranks.

Foley’s fingerprints may be all over Soldier’s Call’s numerous successes, but the man himself is quick to highlight the part good fortune has played in proceedings and certainly isn’t prepared to pat himself on the back for a job well done just yet.

“It’s very satisfying, it really is,” he says of his journey with Soldier’s Call. “But you don’t analyse it or overthink it too much. Sometimes it dawns on me that we’ve had this lad since he was a yearling and it’s very nice to have progressed him to this stage, but in this industry you don’t want to go thinking you’re too clever because there’s a lot of things waiting around the corner.

“It would be very cool if he was successful at stud because setting out to buy a stallion prospect is very difficult, the odds are stacked severely against you. So to come up with a few at the first attempt is nice, but then Steve is a very lucky fella and things just seem to happen for him.”

Soldier’s Call first appeared on Foley’s radar during Book 2 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale in 2017, where he was offered by David Hodge’s Llety Farms and was secured on a bid of 85,000gns.

Recalling the day he first laid eyes on the son of Showcasing, Foley says: “He was in early on day three of Book 2 so I saw him late on the Tuesday evening. When we took him to the [Further Paddock] runway where Baroda Stud usually sell he was an absolute beauty, and when we saw him again the next morning we decided he was the one and resolved to buy him.

“We’d been trying to buy nice colts at that sale but kept running into Shadwell, but luckily the big guns weren’t on him, which surprised me as he was exactly what we were looking for. We said we’d buy a few colts basically dabbling at trying to buy a stallion and we ended up buying three in the same year. We bought Eagles By Day, Space Traveller and Soldier’s Call.”

Soldier’s Call is out of Dijarvo, who won the Prix La Fleche (L) during her time in training with Tony Carroll.

She switched to the US before being repatriated to Llety Farms in Carmarthen through Chad Schumer, who picked up the daughter of Iceman for just $15,000 at the Keeneland January Sale in 2014.

Foley says pedigree plays an important part in his sales selection process and adds that he had the advantage of first-hand experience with Soldier’s Calls lineage.

“I love buying horses out of good racemares and his dam was a very fast filly,” he says. “She won the Prix La Fleche before getting sold to America and she was from a family I knew well – I’d watched it over the years and her dam, Thicket, foaled at Ballyhane one year. It’s a very fast Juddmonte family going back to Abeer. Soldier’s Call has a lot of speed in his pedigree and he looked exactly that type.”

Expanding on the appealing physical attributes possessed by the young Soldier’s Call, Foley says: “He

soldier’s call was very typical of what we find in the good Showcasings; he was medium-sized but very strong with great power, a wide arse and a big hip. He had a lovely shoulder and used himself so well. He was a lovely, fluid, easy-moving type and he had a great action for a medium-sized horse. He just looked like a racehorse, he looked exactly like what he ended up becoming.”

He adds that the identity of Soldier’s Call’s breeder gave him further confidence, saying: “David Hodge is a very good breeder and has a strong record, which is important when you’re buying yearlings. I’m pleased that David reported to me recently that he has two very nice Soldier’s Call yearlings to sell this year and I hope he does well with them.”

Once the auctioneer’s gavel had fallen, Soldier’s Call was on his way to Ballyhane Stud in County Carlow, where the Clipper horses are broken in and pre-trained before being dispatched to their respective trainers. Although this process is less intense than the rigours of full training, Soldier’s Call’s latent talent soon began to shine through.

“He was a lovely easy going horse when he was in the string but he didn’t do anything too flamboyant,” says Foley. “But I remember in about March my wife, Jane, rode him one morning and came in and told me over lunch that she’d ridden this Showcasing colt and in her opinion he was a bit of a rocket, which came as a bit of a surprise as we hadn’t been asking him any questions prior to that.

“With that opinion in our back pocket we sent him to Archie Watson and off he went. I told Archie what Jane had said and about a month into his spell there Archie told me he liked the horse and that he was showing a lot of speed.”

Soldier’s Call made 14 starts for Watson and won four races, all over 5f. His winning streak began with a comfortable success in novice company at Haydock before he took a rise in class in his stride to claim the prestigious Windsor Castle Stakes (L) at Royal Ascot.

“The Windsor Castle was Clipper’s first winner at Royal Ascot so that was a big moment,” says Foley. “We’ve had three winners now but that was our first so that was special. When you have a colt who’s won a maiden and then goes and wins the Windsor Castle, it’s the first step on the ladder to becoming a stallion and he won it very impressively.”

H

IS UPWARD TRAJECTORY carried Soldier’s Call to wins in the Group 3 Prix d’Arenberg and the Group 2 Flying Childers Stakes, the latter by two and a quarter lengths. On both occasions he led from pillar to post and won by clear water. His penultimate outing at two saw Soldier’s Call face his elders in the Group 1 Prix de l’Abbaye, in which he went down by just a neck to Mabs Cross.

He did not manage to add to his tally when tested at three but confirmed himself the fastest of his generation to reach the frame in Group 1 company on three separate occasions, most notably when a close-up third behind Blue Point in King’s Stand Stakes (G1) and when second to Battaash in the Nunthorpe Stakes (G1).

“The Prix d’Arenberg was very exciting and then he absolutely pulverised the field in the Flying Childers, he ran right away from them,” Foley continues. “Having won that race, which was a Group 2, that cemented his position as a future stallion, so that was a big day. The Prix de l’Abbaye

After the Flying Childers (left), trainer Archie Watson said of Soldier’s Call: “He’s a very quick two-year-old, we’ve always held him in very high regard. Goodwood was a little bit disappointing but he’s gone out and won a Group 3 in a very quick time in France and backed up here within 13 days and he’s absolutely blitzed them” Through the rest of his juvenile year, the Showcasing colt went on to finish third in the Abbaye and sixth in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint

was frustrating and we were unlucky because he switched his lead late on and just got chinned on the line.

“While he didn’t win at three he posted some great performances. His run in the King’s Stand behind Blue Point and Battaash was a great run and his second in the Nunthorpe, when he met Battaash on a real going day, was a terrific effort. He was well ahead of the rest of the field that day.”

Soldier’s Call returned to Ballyhane for the 2020 covering season to stand alongside the stud’s linchpin name Dandy Man, the ever-reliable Elzaam and the Norfolk Stakes-winning racehorse and sire Prince Of Lir. Breeders were soon beating a path to Ballyhane’s door as Soldier’s Call covered a debut book of 164 mares at a fee of €10,000.

Among that number were 38 black-type performing mares, giving him a foundation of quality and quantity.

And the weight of support continued into his second and third seasons, with a book of 159 mares in year two and 110 in year three.

“People took to him in his first year so he covered 164 mares,” says Foley. “He covered a high number of stakesperforming and stakes-producing mares too, so we were very happy with his first book.

“Sometimes you start a stallion off and they really dip in numbers in the second or third year and then you’re already factoring that in if he’s looking good once his runners hit the track, as he’s then got to get over that dip in numbers. But that won’t be the case with Soldier’s Call as he’ll have plenty of troops on the ground.

“In his first year quite a few people couldn’t get into him, he could’ve covered over 200 but we politely turned away 40 or 50 mares and thankfully those people came back in year two.”

Amongst his debut crop are siblings to the likes of Windsor Castle Stakes hero Hototo, the Pavilion Stakes victor Dubai Station, the Marygate Stakes scorer Sardinia Sunset and the admirable Sir Busker, as well as the Grade

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

2-winning Juniper Pass and the Roses Stakes winner Attagirl, while the Coronation Stakes heroine Maids Causeway, the Prix Marcel Boussac third Copperbeech and Cecil Frail Stakes winner and Cheveley Park Stakes third Festoso are just a few of the high-performing mares who produced a Soldier’s Call foal in 2021.

As well as high interest from outside breeders, Soldier’s Call has received strong home support from the broodmare bands at Ballyhane and Parkin’s Branton Court Stud.

This has allowed Foley, a genuine student of pedigrees, to formulate mating plans that harness the power of inbreeding to a host of interesting and influential stallions.

“We’re after trying loads with him,” he says. “We’re replicating a lot of the Showcasing stuff; he likes Nureyev, so we’re loading up on that, and there’s some Wolfhound in there too, so we’ve done some interesting things and will have some very nicely bred stock. From a simplistic view of physicals and race records we’ve matched him up with a lot of nice good-looking, speedy mares and we’ve covered a lot of good race fillies with him.”

T

HE MARKET got its first look at Soldier’s Call’s stock during last year’s foal sales and there was a notably warm reception, with the colt out of Con Marnane’s Safeenah realising 100,000gns from BB Bloodstock.

Glenvale Stud also gave 72,000gns for the colt out of Rose Kazan, the group averaged £21,030 for 32 sold.

Renowned judges such as Mags O’Toole, Federico Barberini, Peter Nolan and Tally-Ho Stud were among those to sign for a Soldier’s Call foal.

Showcasing has stood at Whitsbury Manor Stud since 2011 so it is only now that his first sire sons are starting to come online with stock of their own. His reputation as a sire of sires received a significant boost when the debut crop of Tasleet produced Bradsell, a decisive winner of this year’s Coventry Stakes. That result gave Foley plenty of cause for optimism.

“As I’ve been going around looking at his yearlings ahead of the sales they’ve done really well and they look an extremely nice bunch,” says Foley. “I hadn’t seen Bradsell before until he won the Coventry Stakes but I started studying all the Soldier’s Call yearlings just before I went to Royal Ascot and when I saw Bradsell there he looked very similar to loads of the Soldier’s Calls we have, which is a good portent. Hopefully we’ll have the same level of success.”

Foley expects to offer around 20 lots by Soldier’s Call at the upcoming yearling auctions, starting at the Goffs UK Premier Sale in Doncaster on August 23 and 24.

While Parkin will retain a handful of his choicely bred fillies, Foley stresses they are bringing one of their best Soldier’s Call youngsters to market.

“We’ll sell some nice ones, especially the colts, to help get his name out there and get them into peoples’ yards,” he says. “We’ll keep a daughter of Maid’s Causeway, so a sister to Illustrating, she’s a beautiful filly, and we’ll also keep fillies out of Fairy Falcon and Festoso, who we think is a nice mare.

“I’m looking forward to the yearling sales with him.

From what I’ve seen and what I hear from other vendors, people seem to be excited about their yearlings by him, so let’s hope they’re successful in the sales ring first before heading off to the racetrack.”

HEN ADVERTISE retired to the National Stud for 2019 he was the highest-rated son of Showcasing – he was the winner of Group 1 races at two and three with a rating of 119 making him the best sprinter to retire to stud in England for 15 years.

Advertise announced himself as a colt of promise with an easy success in a 6f Newbury maiden on his debut in May of 2018. That he got to within a length of Calyx in the Group 2 Coventry Stakes on his second start showed even more of his potential, and next time out in the Group 2 July Stakes at Newmarket he was a comfortable winner.

He took on the Ballydoyle battalions in their own backyard in the

Group 1 Phoenix Stakes and became the first British-trained winner of the race in 21 years when fending off the challenge of So Perfect.

Questions over his stamina surrounded him prior to the Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes and a fine second place to the season’s champion two-year-old colt didn’t answer them so it was to Newmarket and the 2,000 Guineas he was aimed.

There the questions of his ability to stay a mile were well and truly answered in the negative so he returned to sprinting and the 6f of Royal Ascot’s Commonwealth Cup was perfect. He was a decisive winner from Forever In Dreams, Hello Youmzain and Ten Sovereigns. The last-named got the better of him in the Group 1 July Cup when Advertise finished

second but ahead of Group 1 winners Fairyland, Pretty Pollyana, Brando, Dream Of Dreams and Limato.

The son of Showcasing demonstrated his toughness in the Group 1 Prix Maurice de Gheest when he had to withstand the challenge of Brando.

One Master, Pretty Pollyana, Le Brivido and Invincible Army were also amongst the vanquished at Deauville.

He had one final start in the Group 1 British Champions’ Sprint but he failed to show his true self on heavy ground at Ascot and retired the winner of five of his ten starts with three further second place finishes.

Bred by Cheveley Park Stud, he is one of two winners out of Furbelow, a Pivotal full-sister to the American Listed winner Red Diadem.

Furbelow is a Cheveley Park Stud homebred who won a 6f maiden at three. She is also a three-parts sister to Adorn (Kyllachy), a winner at two and the dam of Group 2 Richmond Stakes winner Saayerr (Acclamation) and the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes second Ornate (Bahamian Bounty). Her yearling full-brother to Advertise made 450,000gns to Kevin Ryan at the Tattersalls October Book 1 Sale last year.

Second dam Red Tiara was placed once and is a Mr Prospector three-parts sister to the Japanese sprinter Meiner Love (Seeking The Gold).

Meiner Love won the Listed Sprinters Stakes, the Centaur Stakes and the Silk Road Stakes. She is also a half-sister to Miracle Worker, the winning dam of the Listed Whirlaway and Changing Times Stakes winner Peppi Knows.

The third dam Heart Of Joy is a daughter of Lypheor and won the Grade 2 Palomar Handicap and the Group 2 Nell Gwyn Stakes and was placed in the 1,000 Guineas, the Irish 1,000 Guineas, the Coronation Stakes and the Grade 1 Ramona Handicap. She is a half-sister to the Riviera Stakes winner Ataentsic, who is the dam of Grade 2 San Fernando Breeders’ Cup Stakes winner and sire Unbridled Energy.

Advertise was BHA rated 119 and is the second-best rated son of Showcasing behind the Sussex Stakes winner Mohaather. Indeed, Advertise attained a higher rating than his sire and he is also the second winner of the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup sired by Showcasing.

He has 99 yearlings from his first crop and almost a quarter of them were offered for sale as foals last year for an average of €55,207/£46,475.

His six-figure sale was that of Kirtlington Stud’s colt out of the Nell Gwyn Stakes second Squash (Pastoral Pursuits). He was purchased by Tally-Ho Stud for 135,000gns at the Tattersalls December Foal Sale.

The most expensive filly foal by Advertise was purchased by Baroda Stud for 60,000gns from Theakston Stud.

She is out of the Listed Cathedral Stakes winner Indignant by Gold Away, and she has a perfect record as a broodmare with three winners from three runners.

Best Solution

A

Group 1 winner over 1m4f, Best Solution demonstrated that his sire Kodiac is not all about speed and precocity. Best Solution broke his maiden over 6f at two and won the Group 3 Autumn Stakes over a mile before finishing second to the Arc hero and fellow new stallion Waldgeist in the Group 1 Criterium de Saint Cloud. Behind him that day were the future Group 1 winners Capri, Taj Mahal, Rekindling and Wings Of Eagles.

Trained by Saeed bin Suroor for Godolphin, a stint in Dubai beckoned between his first and second seasons which saw him run twice at Meydan before winning the Listed Lingfield Derby Trial on his first start back in England. The highlight of his three-year-old career was second place behind Iquitos in the Group 1 Grosser Dallmayr Preis and he ended the year with victory in the Group 3 St Simon Stakes.

At four, Best Solution came into his own. After another winter in Dubai, which saw him win one of four starts at Meydan, he returned to Europe in better form than ever and he racked up four wins in a row.

After success in the Group 2 Princess of Wales’s Stakes, he then went on his travels securing his first Group 1 win in the Grosser Preis von Berlin and adding a second in the Grosser Preis von Baden, defeating a field that included Defoe, Iquitos, Windstoss and Dschingis Secret. He then travelled Down Under to take the Group 1 Caulfield Cup in a tight finish before running a creditable eighth in the Melbourne Cup. Kept in training at five he made two starts but failed to show his former sparkle.

Bred by Cecil and Martin McCracken, he was a 32,000gns Tattersalls December Foal Sale purchase by Emerald Bloodstock. Re-offered by Tom Hassett’s Monksland Stables as a yearling in Book 2 he made 90,000gns to John Ferguson on behalf of Godolphin.

His three-year-old full-brother El Bodegon won the Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud last season for James Ferguson and has twice finished third so far this season – to Vadeni in the Group 1 Prix du Jockey-Club and to Onesto in the Grand Prix de Paris.

Best Solution boasts a fine pedigree with his third dam the top-class Juddmonte producer Eva Luna. The Park Hill Stakes winner is the dam of the Sadler’s Wells pair – the Group 1 St Leger winner and sire Brian Boru and the Listed winner Kitty O’Shea. She is the dam of the Listed winner and Group 1-placed Kissable (Danehill Dancer), who is herself the dam of the 2021 Group 1 Prix de Royallieu winner Loving Dream and the Grade 1 American Oaks third Amandine.

Eva Luna’s Beat Hollow son Sea Moon, who stands at Burgage Stud as a NH sire, won the Group 2 Great Voltigeur Stakes and the Hardwick Stakes and was placed in the Group 1 St Leger and the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Turf.

Eva Luna’s Group 2 Prix de Royallieu-winning daughter Moon Search is by Rainbow Quest and the unraced Soviet Moon, another daughter of Sadler’s Wells, is the dam of Derby and Arc winner Workforce, whose first Irish-bred four-year-olds have made an excellent start to their NH careers.

Best Solution’s second dam Kushnarenkovo is a full-sister to Soviet Moon, Brian Boru and Kitty O’Shea. Trained by Aidan O’Brien, she won the Group 3 Noblesse Stakes (now known as the Munster Oaks) over 1m4f and is the dam of four winners, including the Listed Preis Winterkonigin Trial-winning filly Komische (Fastnet Rock) and her full-brother, the Group 2 Prix Hocquart second Cape Clear Island. Her Kingmambo daughter Al Andalyya is the dam of Best Solution.

Best Solution’s damsire, the brilliant Kingmambo, has excelled in that role with his daughters producing the likes of the Group 1 winners Camelot, Midday, Cloth Of Stars, Ulysses, Ruler Of The World, Zelzal, National Defense, Cross Counter, Big Arthur, Maids Causeway, Duke Of Marmalade and Buratino.

Thirteen of Best Solution’s yearlings are catalogued for the BBAG Yearling Sale and two foals by him sold last year. The Castlebridge Consignment offered a half-brother to the Grade 2 winner and Prix Rothschild third Speak Of The Devi,l and the triple Group 3 winner Morando, who was purchased for €24,000 by Grizetti Galoppo.

Blue Point

B

LUE POINT was the first horse to win two Group 1 races in a single Royal Ascot.

He was one of the stars of 2019 and one of the best by his sire Shamardal, who died in 2020 after the most glorious season for his offspring.

Blue Point was quick, classy and precocious and maintained his form at the highest level for four seasons.

He began his racing career for Godolphin by winning a 6f novice on debut and quickly followed up with victory in a similar race before running a close second to Mehmas in the Group 2 Richmond Stakes.

Off to York for the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes and he defeated a field, including The Last Lion and Ardad. A step-up to Group 1 competition for the Middle Park Stakes followed and a fight with The Last Lion for victory ensued, one which was won by the Choisir colt with Blue Point turning the tables from Goodwood on Mehmas. He ended the season when third to Churchill in the Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes over 7f, a trip that stretched his stamina.

A sprinting campaign was the aim for his three-year-old season and he got off to a flying start winning the Group 3 Pavilion Stakes before taking third in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot.

He was fourth to Harry Angel in the Group 1 Haydock Sprint Cup before ending his season with a narrow win in the Group 3 Bengough Stakes at Ascot.

He wintered once more in Dubai and returned to England after two runs, which included a second place in the Group 2 Meydan Sprint. His first run of the European season came in the Group 1 King’s Stand Stakes in which he made the breakthrough into the elite. He ran three times in England that summer and was third to Alpha Delphini and Mab’s Cross in the Group 1 Nunthorpe Stakes.

Once again he spent the winter in Dubai and he remained unbeaten in his three starts, culminating with success in the Group 1 Al Quoz Sprint.

His record-breaking Royal Ascot runs were his final two appearances in Europe and he was retired after his King’s Stand Stakes and Diamond Jubilee double.

Blue Point was bred to be quick, and is a three-parts brother to the Group 2 Railway Stakes winner and Group 2 Mill Reef Stakes second Formosina (Footstepsinthesand).

They are the two best foals so far out of the Royal Applause mare Scarlett Rose, the dam of three winners from five runners. She is a placed half-sister to Tumbleweed Ridge (Indian Ridge), winner of five Group 3

contests – the Horris Hill Stakes, the Prix de la Porte Mailliot and three runnings of the Ballycorus Stakes – and placed 26 times including in the Gimcrack Stakes (G2).

She is also a half-sister to Tumbleweed Pearl, a three-time winner by Aragon, and the dam of Group 2 Queen Mary Stakes and Listed Marygate Stakes winner Gilded (Redback). She, in turn, is the dam of Fort Del Oro by another son of Shamardal in Lope De Vega, and she won three Listed sprints.

Second dam Billie Blue (Ballad Rock) was placed at three and is the dam of seven winners. She is out of the Listed winner Blue Nose, who was also placed in the National Stakes at two, and produced four winners.

Fourth dam Hill Slipper was a winner at three and placed in the Park Stakes. She is a half-sister to Lovely Kate, who won the Whitehall Stakes and was second in the Irish 1,000 Guineas, and to the Group 2 Pretty Polly Stakes second Tell Katty.

Blue Point has a large first-crop to represent him with 147 yearlings registered.

His first-born foal became his most expensive to sell, and the most expensive foal sold in Europe, when making 300,000gns to Blandford Bloodstock at the Tattersalls December Foal Sale.

Bred by Ringfort Stud, she is out of the Listed Silver Stakes winner Indigo Lady and the Sir Percy half-sister to Rockingham Stakes winner Prism is already the dam of Group 2 Duke Of Cambridge Stakes winner Indie Angel.

His most expensive colt was sold at Goffs November Foal Sale where JC Bloodstock went to €215,000 for Limekiln Stud’s son of Wild Child, an unraced Galileo sister to Royal Lodge Stakes third Iberia, out of the Group 3 Renaissance Stakes winner Beauty Bright (Danehill).

Back at Tattersalls, Castlefarm Stud sold their Blue Point filly out of Listed winner Shimmering Moment, an Afleet Alex half-sister to Stormy Liberal, twice winner of the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint, to DPA Bloodstock for 135,000gns.

John Rowe went to 110,000gns for Norelands Stud’s colt out of the Group 3 Balanchine Stakes winner Most Beautiful, a daughter of Canford Cliffs and Listed winner Saphira’s Fire.

Deerpark Stud’s Blue Point colt out of Sar Oiche, a Teofilo half-sister to Daneleta, who is the dam of Intense Focus (Giant’s Causeway), and second dam of Skitter Scatter, was bought by Margaret O’Toole for 100,000gns.

In total, 18 of the 21 Blue Point foals offered at auction last year sold for an average of £83,141/€98,692.

Calyx

C

ALYX WAS A HIGHCLASS juvenile and is a son of one of the most exciting young sires around in Kingman and from a Juddmonte family with Group 1 horses under the first four dams.

Trained by John Gosden for owner-breeder Juddmonte Farm, Calyx made an immediate impression on his debut winning a 6f novice race on Newmarket’s July course by 5l. Just ten days later he announced himself as a potential superstar with an easy success in the Group 2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot. A length behind him in second was Advertise, who would go on to win three Group 1 races at two and three.

They were the only two starts Calyx made as a juvenile with injury curtailing his racing ambitions. He allayed any fears that he was a one-season wonder with another procession in the

Merriebelle Stable Commonwealth Cup Trial Stakes, Ascot, Gr.3, (6f. beating No Nonsense (GB) and Konchek (GB)), Armstrong Sandy Lane Stakes, Haydock Park, Gr.2, (to Hello Youmzain (FR))

Group 3 Pavilion Stakes on his three-year-old debut.

He suffered a pastern injury when meeting with his only defeat, finishing second to the subsequent Group 1 winner Hello Youmzain in the Group 2 Sandy Lane Stakes and that would be the last time Calyx raced.

He received a Timeform rating 120p for his Coventry Stakes success and a BHA official rating of 115, making him the third best colt in Europe over 5f or 6f, despite not competing in a Group 1 contest.

He is from another excellent Juddmonte family that has only developed further since Calyx’s retirement to stud.

He is the first winner out of his dam Helleborine, who was a classy juvenile winning the Group 3 Prix d’Aumale and the Listed Prix Six Perfections and also finishing second in the Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac.

By the top class miler Observatory, she is a full-sister to the Group 1 Sprint Cup heroine African Rose, who was also second in the Group 1 Prix Maurice de Gheest. African Rose is the dam of Group 3 Princess Margaret Stakes winner and Group 2 Lowther and Rockfel Stakes-placed Fair Eva (Frankel).

Helleborine is also a full-sister to the unraced Needleleaf, who is the dam of last season’s European champion two-year-old Native Trail.

The Oasis Dream colt was slightly unlucky not to win the 2,000 Guineas this year but earned Classic glory in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and was third in a thrilling Eclipse on his first attempt at 1m2f.

They are out of the Listed placed-mare New Orchid, a daughter of Quest For Fame, who is a half-sister to the Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes and National Stakes winner and sire Distant Music.

Third dam Musicanti was also placed at Listed level and is a Nijinsky half-sister to the Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup, Washington DC International Stakes and Suburban Handicap winner and sire Vanlandingham.

She is also a half-sister to the Listed winner and Grade 1 San Juan Capistrano Invitational Handicap second Jenkins Ferry.

Musicanti’s Northern Dancer three-parts sister Kamkova is the dam of Keeneland Turf Mile Stakes and Group 2 Prix Eugene Adam winner and sire Kirkwall, by Selkirk, and is the second dam of the Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes winner Termagant, a daughter of Powerscourt.

Calyx has 98 registered yearlings in his first crop and one-third of them were offered for sale as foals. A total of 25 changed hands for an average price of €42,607/£35,488 with two making six-figure sums, both at the Goffs November Foal Sale.

The top price of €125,000 was paid by WH Bloodstock for a filly out of Listed Newbury Fillies’ Trial Stakes winner Weareninety from the outstanding family of Brigid with Group 1 winners including Listen, Sequoyah, Henrythenavigator, Magician, Or Vision, Saffron Walden and Dolphin Street all on the page.

As a five-year-old he won the 7f Group 3 Prix du Pin and was a close second to One Master in the Group 1 Prix de la Forêt, his final start. He made 22 starts, winning seven of them and being placed in nine more.

DONJUAN TRIUMPHANT 9yo | Dream Ahead-Mathuna (Tagula) Haras de la Barbottiere 2020: €4,000 | 2021: €3,500 | 2022: €3,000

T

HE BRITISH CHAMPIONS’ SPRINT winner Donjuan Triumphant achieved the highlight of his career on his final start, giving connections an emotional farewell Group 1 triumph.

A tough, sound and talented horse who raced at a high level for five seasons, Donjuan Triumphant brings pace to France as a son of a European champion sprinter in Dream Ahead, who is a son of Diktat.

Bred by Pat and Brid Cosgrove at Kilcarn Park Stud from the first crop of the Group 1 Prix Morny, Middle Park Stakes, July Cup, Haydock Sprint Cup and Prix de la Forêt winner Dream Ahead, Donjuan Triumphant was a breeze-up colt selling to Middleham Park Racing from Lynn Lodge. Sent into training with Richard Fahey first and then Andrew Balding following his purchase by King Power Racing, Donjuan Triumphant ran 37 times in five seasons, winning six and finishing in the places on nine further occasions.

At two, he won the Group 2 Criterium Maisons-Lafitte and the Listed Rockingham Stakes both over 6f, and never finished out of the first four in eight starts that year, including the Group 1 Criterium International.

As a three-year-old he was second to Quiet Reflection in the Group 2 Sandy Lane Stakes on his seasonal reappearance and filled the same position behind Signs Of Blessing in the Group 1 Prix Maurice de Gheest.

He changed yards for his four-year-old season, winning over 6f and 7f but returned to his best form at five, winning the Listed Wentworth Stakes and being placed in the Group 1 Haydock Sprint Cup and British Champions’ Sprint. As a six-year-old, he made six starts culminating in his Group 1 success.

Donjuan Triumphant is the best of four winners from eight runners so far produced by the Tagula mare Mathuna, who was successful over six furlongs at two in France and is also the dam of the Listed Ascendant Stakes winner Caledonian Spring by Amadeus Wolf. Mathuna is a halfsister to the Group 3 Prix Chloe winner Wilside (Verglas), who is also the dam of French Listed winner Sarigan.

Another half-sister is the dual French Listed winner and Grade 2 Bayakoa Handicap second Round Heels, a daughter of Daggers Drawn.

Second dam Sigonella is by Priolo and is an unraced half-sister to the Listed Prix du Courcelles winner and the Group 1 Prix du Jockey-Club third Sestino (Shirley Heights) and the classy hurdler Starzaan, a son of Darshaan and winner of the Grade 2 National Spirit Hurdle and Grade 2 Future Champion Novice Chase.

It is a good French family that has been exposed to speed influences and shows that it responds to that injection of pace in a positive way.

Broodmare sire Tagula was quick and precocious, winning the Group 1 Prix Morny and Group 3 July Stakes at two and adding the Group 3 Supreme Stakes at three as well as finishing third in the Group 1 Poule d’Essai des Poulains.

Donjuan Triumphant has 15 foals from his first crop, but their quality seems to have impressed breeders as his book grew to 40 mares for the 2021 season. Among those in his first crop is a colt out of a relation to fellow French-based first-crop yearling sire Robin Of Navan from the family of champion Lys Gracieux and Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac winner Lily’s Candle 1st Dam MATHUNA (IRE), won 1 race in France at 2 years and £9,409 and placed twice; dam of 6 winners:

A

GROUP 1 WINNER by Invincible Spirit, whose sons are building an empire across the globe, Eqtidaar is a Shadwell homebred, who was bred for pure speed.

One of 18 Group 1 winners and counting by the Haydock Sprint Cup winner Invincible Spirit, Eqtidaar won the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot defeating other top level winners Sands Of Mali, Sioux Nation and Unfortunately.

Trained by Sir Michael Stoute, he broke his maiden first time out and was placed in the 6f Group 3 Sirenia Stakes on his only other start at two.

His three-year-old career encompassed second place in the Group 3 Pavilion Stakes at Ascot and a fourth in the Listed Carnarvon Stakes before his Royal Ascot Triumph, for which he earned an official rating of 114.

Eqtidaar is a half-brother to Massaat (Teofilo), who won the Group 2 Hungerford Stakes and was runner-up in the 2,000 Guineas (G1), the Dewhurst Stakes (G1) and third in the Prix du Moulin (G1), and to Mujbar (Muhaarar), who won the Group 3 Horris Hill Stakes. They are three of the four winners so far out of the Acclamation mare Madany, who won twice and was placed on four further occasions, all over 6f.

Massaat, who stands at Mickley Stud, has his first runners this season and has sired three winners from 11 runners to date.

Madany comes from a wonderful Knocktoran and Kilfrush Stud family – as a daughter of the winning Law Society mare Belle De Cadix, she is a half-sister to the French Listed winner Zeiting, who is the dam of Group 2 winner Combat Zone by Refuse To Bend and the Group 3-winning Teofilo full-brothers Scottish and Royal Empire.

Zeiting is also the dam of the Group 3-placed Montjeu filly Bikini Babe, dam of Group 3 Somerville Tattersalls Stakes winner La Barrosa, and her Pivotal half-sister Zut Alors, also placed in a Group 3 and best known now as the dam of Group 1 Poule d’Essais des Poulains winner Precieuse.

Zut Alors is also ancestress of the 2022 Group 1 Al Maktoum Challenge winner Hypothetical.

Belle De Cadix is also the dam of the Group 3 Prix du Bois winner and Group 2 Prix Robert Papin second Dolled Up (Whipper), a fourth toprated two-year-old filly of 2009.

Of Eqtidaar’s 51 first-crop foals, 22 were offered for sale last year making an average of £11,891/€14,094 and a median of £8,960/€10,500.

His average was more than double his covering fee and, in the case of his most expensive foal, ten times that figure.

That purchase came at the Tattersalls December Foal Sale where Jimmy Murphy of Redpender Stud bought Trickledown Stud’s half-sister to the Listed Westow Stakes winner Fashion Queen and to the dam of Richmond Stakes winner and Prix Morny third Asymmetric for 55,000gns.

They are out of Pizzarra, a Shamardal half-sister to Wunders Dream, who won the Flying Childers and Molecomb Stakes, and is the dam of Listed Boadicea Stakes winner Inyordreams.

Pizarra is also a half-sister to Group 3 Ridgewood Pearl Stakes winner Grecian Dancer, who is dam of the Group 3 winner and Group 1-placed Muffri’ha.

Inns of Court

A

PRECOCIOUS SON OF Invincible Spirit who maintained his class through four seasons of tough competition, Inns Of Court offers a fine French pedigree to Irish breeders.

Bred by Darley and trained for Sheikh Mohammed’s operation by André Fabre, Inns Of Court was a talented performer from 5f to a mile, making a winning debut over 7f at two, his only start that season. He won over the same trip on his seasonal reappearance at three and was held in high enough esteem that he was pitched straight into Group 1 company for the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches, in which he finished a creditable sixth.

Dropped down in grade and trip for his next start in the Group 3 Prix du Palais-Royale, Inns Of Court returned to winning ways and followed up with a second Group 3 success in his next start, the Prix de la Porte Maillot, again over 7f.

He stepped up to Group 1 level once more for the Prix Jacques le Marois and was unlucky to lose out to Al Wukair by a short head, with dual Dubai World Cup winner Thunder Snow a neck behind him in third.

As a four-year-old he won the Group 3 Prix des Ris-Orangis and once more came close to making that Group 1 breakthrough, this time when a short head behind One Master in the Prix de la Forêt giving her 4lb, and finishing ahead of Gustav Klimt, James Garfield, Polydream and Teppal.

He was also fourth in three Group 3 races at four, over 6f and 7f.

INNS OF COURT

https://www.tallyhostud.com/inns

His final season saw him win again, for the fourth year in a row, this time dropping back to 5f for the Group 2 Prix de Gros-Chene and beating City Light in the 6f Listed Prix Servalan. He retires with a record of seven wins and seven places from 18 starts.

Inns Of Court is bred on the successful cross of Invincible Spirit over Mr Prospector line mares as his dam is by Seeking The Gold. She is a half-sister to Japan’s 2020 Horse of the Year Fierement, a son of the outstanding Deep Impact, who won the Group 1 Japanese St Leger and two runnings of the Group 1 Tenno Sho (Spring). They are out of Lune d’Or, who won the Group 1 Premio Lydia Tesio and the Group 2 Prix de Pomone and Prix de Malleret and was placed in the Yorkshire Oaks (G1).

She is a Green Tune daughter of the Listed Grand Prix de Compiegne winner Luth D’Or (Noir Et Or), who is a half-sister to the Group 1 Prix du Moulin and Prix Jacques le Marois winner and European champion threeyear-old Luth Enchantee, who was also placed in the Group 1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe and Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud.

She is the second dam of the Grade 3 Damsel Handicap and Group 3 Prix de Chloe winner Kumba Mela, who was placed in the Group 1 Prix Morny and Prix Marcel Boussac.

Unsurprisingly, given the O’Callaghan family’s prowess at making stallions, Inns Of Court has one of the larger crops of yearlings amongst Racing Form 18 runs, seven wins, six places | Best Timeform Rating: 125 | Average winning distance: 6.43 Stakes form AT 2 Won

8yo | Invincible Spirit-Learned Friend (Seeking The Gold) Tally-Ho Stud 2020: €7,500 | 2021: €5,000 | 2022: €5,000

this year’s first-crop sires with 159 registered.

One who has definitely increased in value is the half-brother to this year’s Group 2 July Stakes winner and Group 2 Coventry Stakes runnerup Persian Force, who was only a yearling when Tally-Ho Stud paid €80,000 for the colt bred by Tom Lacy and sold by Ringfort Stud at Goffs last November. At that stage, the colt was a half-brother to the Group 2 Richmond Stakes third Gubbass.

Even without the emergence of Persian Force, that colt was impressive enough to earn the title as the most expensive foal from his sire’s first crop.

There were 36 other foals by Inns Of Court offeredwith 31 selling at an average of €22,000/£19,256 and a median of €15,000/£12,644.

Tally-Ho bought four of the five most expensive foals by the sire and they will be offered as yearlings or at the breeze-up sales next spring.

Among the quartet was his most expensive daughter, Kilpatrick Farm’s three-parts sister to the Listed winner Summer Sands by Cable Bay. She brought €41,000 from the O’Callaghans at Goffs.

INVINCIBLE ARMY 7yo | Invincible Spirit-Rajeem (Diktat) Yeomanstown Stud

http://yeomanstown.ie/invincible-army/

A

CLASSY SPRINTER by the global sire Invincible Spirit and bred on the same cross as one of Cable Bay, Invincible Army brings toughness, soundness and consistency to a fine pedigree.

Bred by Rabbah Bloodstock, Invincible Army is a son of the Group 1 Falmouth Stakes winner Rajeem. She is by Diktat meaning that Invincible Army’s pedigree is pure speed on speed.

Trained by James Tate for Saeed Manana, Invincible Army was a high-class juvenile, who finished second on debut to the future Derby hero Masar. He won a novice race on his second start and that set him up for a string of placed efforts in Group company in the Group 2 July Stakes, the Group 3 Molecomb Stakes behind subsequent Group 1 winner Havana Grey, and in the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes to another horse who would win a Group 1 in Sands Of Mali.

Invincible Army gained a deserved success in the Group 3 Sirenia Stakes in which he beat paternal half-brother and subsequent Group 1 Commonwealth Cup winner Eqtidaar. He ended his juvenile season with second place in the Group 2 Mill Reef Stakes won by James Garfield.

At three he won the Group 3 Pavilion Stakes again defeating Eqtidaar, and was then second by a nose to Sands Of Mali in the Group 2 Sandy Lane Stakes.

A couple of disappointing efforts followed and he was put away for the remainder of the year but returned at four to win the Listed Cammidge Trophy on his debut.

He followed up with victory in the Group 2 Duke Of York Stakes and also claimed the Group 3 Chipchase Stakes.

He mixed it with the best sprinters finishing third to Fairyland in the Group 1 Flying Five Stakes and ahead of Soldier’s Call, Soffia and Mab’s Cross, before finishing fourth in the Group 1 Prix de l’Abbaye, defeating Fairyland, Mab’s Cross, Battaash and Gold Vibe.

Invincible Army retired with a record of six wins, all over 6f, and eight places over the same trip and the minimum distance from 19 starts.

He is a full-brother to the three-year-old New York City, who won the Listed Committed Stakes at Navan and was second in the Group 3 Lacken Stakes at Naas earlier this season for Aidan O’Brien. New York City cost 375,000gns as a foal when sold by Tinnakill House, who purchased Rajeem for just €26,000 in 2015 from Darley’s draft at the Goffs November Breeding Stock Sale. Invincible Army is the best of the three winners so far out of Rajeem, who is a half-sister to three mares who have produced black-type horses.

They are headed by the unraced Cape Cross mare Poldhu, who is the dam of the the Group 3 Fred Darling Stakes winner Dandhu (Dandy Man).

Rajeem’s Mtoto half-sister, the unraced Sister Golightly, is the dam of the Group 3-placed Jeanne Girl (Rip Van Winkle) and the Italian Listedplaced Jack Boy (Hawk Wing). Their Kyllachy half-sister Grand Mary is the dam of South African Listed-placed filly Mary O’Reilly.

Invincible Army’s second dam Magic Sister is by Cadeaux Genereux and is a full-sister to the European champion two-year-old filly Hoh Magic, who won the Group 1 Prix Morny, the Group 3 Molecomb Stakes and the Listed Dragon Stakes. She also finished third in the Group 1 July Cup and Group 2 Queen Mary Stakes.

They are out of Gunner’s Belle, a winner of three races, the dam of six winners, and a half-sister to the sire Crimson Beau (High Line), winner of the Group 2 Prince of Wales’s Stakes and second in the Group 1 Eclipse and International Stakes.

Invincible Army was another stallion to make a splash with his first foals at last year’s round of sales; his average of €33,551/£28,397 was very close to his median of €32,000/£27,120 all bred from an advertised fee of €10,000.

Four of the 25 foals by Invincible Army sold last year made at least €50,000 with the highest price of €85,000 for Ballyduane Stud’s colt out of the Prix de Cabourg fourth Living Art, a Trippi half-sister to US Listed winners A V Formation, My Silver Charm and Avare. He was purchased by Peter and Ross Doyle at the Goffs November Foal Sale.

That sale also produced the most expensive filly foal from Invincible Army’s first crop; Limekiln Stud’s daughter of the Listed Boadicea Stakes second Vittoria by Exceed And Excel, who is also the second dam of Andreas Vesalius, second in the Group 3 Anglesey Stakes last season for Joseph O’Brien. Gaelic Bloodstock went to €64,000 for her.

2020: €10,000 | 2021: €7,500 | 2022: €7,500

Land Force

A

HIGH-CLASS COLT from the first-crop of the scintillating young sire No Nay Never and a grandson of the brilliant Cassandra Go, Land Force has speed, precocity and good looks, all of which caught the attention of breeders when he retired to stud in 2020.

Bred by Mrs Evie Stockwell, Land Force was a €350,000 Goffs Orby yearling purchased by MV Magnier.

He was sent to work straight away making his debut the following April at Naas when placing third behind subsequent Listed winner Dadoozart.

Stepped up to 6f for his next run, he duly obliged and was pitched straight into Listed company, finishing third behind Fairyland (owned by Mrs Stockwell), who would go on to win two Group 1 races and Van Beethoven, subsequently the winner of the Group 2 Railway Stakes.

Sent to Royal Ascot for the Group 2 Norfolk Stakes, a race previously won by his sire No Nay Never and Johannesburg, who is in his direct sire line, he finished a half-length third.

Remaining at the Norfolk’s 5f trip, he tackled the Listed Tipperary Stakes next for his first stakes victory, quickly followed by success in the Group 2 Richmond Stakes at Goodwood. Both No Nay Never and Johannesburg won the Group 1 Prix Morny, which was the natural next step for Land Force, who finished fourth in the Group 1.

Purchased by Yulong Investments to race in Australia, he made one start for his new connections and returned to Europe.

Land Force has one of the most prolific Group 1 families behind him – he is a half-brother to the Grade 1 Rodeo Drive Stakes and Grade 1 Ladies First Stakes winner Photo Call, a daughter of Galileo, who was purchased for $2.7m at Keeneland last November by Katsumi Yoshida.

They are out of Group 3 Summer Stakes winner Theann, a Rock Of Gibraltar half-sister to the Group 1 Irish 1,000 Guineas, Nassau Stakes and Sun Chariot Stakes winner Halfway To Heaven. By Pivotal, Halfway To Heaven is the dam of Galileo’s dual Group 1 Irish Champion Stakes, Champion Stakes, Pretty Polly Stakes, Tattersalls Gold Cup (twice) and British Champions’ Fillies and Mares Stakes winner Magical, her full-sister Rhododendron, winner of the Fillies’ Mile, Prix de l’Opera and Lockinge Stakes, and their full-brother Flying The Flag, who won the Group 3 International Stakes.

Theann is also a half-sister to Tickled Pink, a dual Group 3-winning sprinter by Invincible Spirit, and to the dam of Listed-winning sprinter Best Regards.

Land Force’s second dam is Cassandra Go, an Indian Ridge mare, who won the King’s Stand Stakes when it was a Group 2, as well as the Group 3 Temple Stakes and St George Stakes. She was also second in the Group 1 July Cup and is a half-sister to Group 2 Coventry Stakes winner and Irish 2,000 Guineas third and sire Verglas (Highest Honor).

She is also a half-sister to the Nashwan mare Aricia, the dam of Listed winners Oh Beautiful and Freedom’s Light (Galileo) and Face The Facts (Nathaniel).

Third dam Rahaam was by Secreto and out of the Mr Prospector mare Fager’s Glory, which adds a third line of Mr Prospector to the two in Land Force’s pedigree.

Land Force was a popular sire for 2020 and has 109 yearlings. They impressed breeders and buyers alike and that was reflected in their sales performances – they averaged £20,886 for 30 sold, which is approximately three times their covering fee, while five made over £50,000.

Con Marnane acquired the most expensive of them, a 65,000gns colt who is the second foal out of the Group 3 Princess Margaret Stakes third Musical Art. Her dam is the Listed-placed Musical Bar, a Barathea halfsister to Classic winner Finsceal Beo. He was consigned by Highclere Stud, as was the next most expensive colt, a 60,000gns buy for Alex Elliott. He is the third foal out of Delevigne, an unraced Redoute’s Choice half-sister to Sprint Cup and Prix Maurice de Gheest winner Regal Parade and Group 3 Acomb Stakes winner Entifaadha from the family of Zafonic, Reams Of Verse, Midday and The Cheka.

Le Brivido

L

E BRIVIDO was the highest-rated winner of the Jersey Stakes and a classy, consistent and tough horse by one of the best stallions in Europe.

Le Brivido impressed many at the 2016 Arqana Breeze-Up when clocking one of the ten fastest times on the day, and that speed translated into his €105,000 sale to Ted Voute and an impressive return on the €40,000 he cost the previous October.

He made an instant impact when winning his racing debut for André Fabre over six and a half furlongs at Chantilly, giving weight to subsequent Grade 1 winner Uni. That was his only start at two, but the following season he won a 6f conditions race on debut and went down fighting in the Group 1 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches, losing out in by a head to Brametot. He bounced back to victory in the Group 3 Jersey Stakes, earning an official rating of 121 for his neck victory over Spirit Of Valour.

It would prove to be his final win for Fabre, and his last run of his three-year-old season. He ran once at four in France before his transfer to the Ballydoyle yard for his five-year-old season. He ran in the Group 1 Lockinge Stakes, the Queen Anne and the Diamond Jubilee Stakes, finishing fifth in all three of them.

He is out of the Dr Fong mare La Bugatty, a placed half-sister to the multiple Listed winner and sire Dansant (Dansili), and to the dam of the Group 3 winner Noblesse Oblige (Myboycharlie), who was Italy’s champion two-year-old filly in 2018. His second dam La Balagna won three times at three and four and is a Kris half-sister to the multiple Listed-placed filly Folle Tempete, out of the Listed winner Belle Tempete by Lovely Dancer.

Le Brivido spent only one season at Overbury Stud before returning to France and commencing stallion duties at Haras de la Haie Neuve where he was warmly received, covering 77 mares at a fee of €5,000.

Among his first crop of yearlings is Brio, a half-brother to winning Ardad filly Beautiful Sunshine out of the Listed Kilvington Stakes third Lastuce.

Le Brivido also has a yearling colt out of Autumn Snow, an Invincible Spirit full-sister to July Stakes and Sirenia Stakes second Figure Of Speech and their dam Epic Similie is a half-sister to the dam of Modern Games, Modern News and Mawj.

Eleven of his first crop were offered at the Tattersalls December Foal Sale with eight of them selling for an average of 7,938gns and a median of 10,000gns.

The top price of 15,000gns was for Overbury Stud’s half-brother to the stakes performers Lat Hawill, Bellajeu and William Bligh, and he was knocked down to George Mullins.

MAGNA GRECIA 6yo | Invincible Spirit-Cabaret (Galileo) Coolmore

2020: €22,500 | 2021: €18,000 | 2022: €17,500

M

AGNA GRECIA is a good-looking horse and this was reflected in the 340,000gns it cost MV Magnier to buy him as a foal from Norelands Stud. He made his debut late in his two-year-old season but quickly made his presence felt, winning a Naas maiden over 7f before tackling the Group 3 Autumn Stakes. There he lost out by a neck to future Classic winner Persian King.

He then moved up to Group 1 company for the Vertem Futurity and in a thrilling finale held on from Phoenix Of Spain in a finish that provided the English and Irish 2,000 Guineas winners of 2020.

Ante-post favourite for the 2,000 Guineas, Magna Grecia made his seasonal debut in the first Classic of the season. He made his move a furlong from home and nothing could catch him; he won by two and a half lengths from the subsequent Group 1 winner King Of Change, with Ten Sovereigns, Advertise and Madhmoon in behind.

A torn hamstring picked up in the Irish 2,000 Guineas denied him the chance of a Guineas double and kept him off the track for much of the season, he only made it to the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes in October, which was won by King Of Change.

He is one of four winners from six runners out of Cabaret, a daughter of Galileo, and winner of the Group 3 Silver Flash Stakes at two.

Magna Grecia has been joined at Coolmore this year by his Siyouni half-brother St Mark’s Basilica, who was the European champion twoyear-old and racked up four Group 1 wins.

Their dam Cabaret is a half-sister to the Group 3 Solario Stakes winner Drumfire (Danehill Dancer) and the Pivotal gelding Ho Choi, who won the Listed Queen’s Silver Jubilee Cup at Sha Tin and was second in the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes.

They are out of the Lear Fan mare Witch Of Fife, winner of two races at two and third in the Listed Sweet Solera Stakes. She is a half-sister to the unraced Quiet American mare Quiet Mouse, the dam of the Group 3 C L Weld Park Stakes and Listed Testimonial Stakes winner Ugo Fire, who was also placed in the Group 1 Moyglare and Phoenix Stakes at two.

Another half-sister is the dam of Group 2 May Hill Stakes third Musharakaat (Iffraaj).

Third dam Fife is a winning daughter of Lomond and a half-sister to Piffle (Shirley Heights), who is the dam of Grade 1 Hollywood Turf Cup Stakes and Group 3 Beresford Stakes winner Frenchpark and the Group 1 Prix Vermeille winner Pearly Shells, a daughter of Efisio.

Magna Grecia’s first crop numbers 98 and sold for an average of €58,762/£49,515 at the foal sales in 2021.

The highest price of 210,000gns was achieved by Norelands Stud’s colt out of the Listed Beckford Stakes winner Twitch (Azamour). From the family of Hong Kong star Viva Pataca and Grade 1 winner Laughing, he was purchased by Jamie McCalmont Bloodstock.

Also sold at the Tattersalls December Foal Sale was Magna Grecia’s most expensive filly; Petches Farm’s daughter of She’s So Flawless by Fastnet Rock, who was bought by Arthur Hoyeau for 110,000gns.

That same sale was the source of the third first-crop foal by Magna Grecia to make six-figures; Glashare House Stud’s half-brother to Ventura Knight bought for 100,000gns by Tom Malone and Megan Nicholls.

MASAR 7yo | New Approach -Khawlah (Cape Cross) Dalham Hall

https://www.darleyeurope.com/stallions/our-stallions/masar

M

ASAR IS IMPECCABLY bred as a relative of Galileo and Sea The Stars and inbred to their dam, the blue hen Urban Sea. He is the second Derby winner to be a son and a grandson of previous Derby winners.

Masar is a Darley homebred who made a winning debut over 6f beating Invincible Army by a short head. Quick and good enough he went on to win the 7f Group 3 Solario Stakes at two defeating the subsequent Group 1-winning miler Romanised.

On his next start he tackled the Listed Chesham Stakes finishing third to the fillies September and Nyaleti.

Then came his Solario Stakes success before he tried Group 1 company in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardère when a close third to the filly Happily and the subsequent Classic winner Olmedo.

At three, he warmed up for his Classic campaign with victory in the Group 3 Craven Stakes, finishing 9l clear of Roaring Lion in third.

Masar was beaten less than 2l into third by Saxon Warrior in the 2,000 Guineas, but finished in front of Roaring Lion, Expert Eye, James Garfield and Gustav Klimt.

Then came his date with destiny in the Derby when he provided Sheikh Mohammed with his first winner of the race in the blue of Godolphin.

Masar was a commanding winner, once again defeating Roaring Lion, with the dual Group 1 winner Saxon Warrior and future dual Group 1 winner Kew Gardens amongst the vanquished.

An injury prevented Masar from racing again as a three-year-old but he came back into training at four running twice without showing his old sparkle and was retired.

Masar was bred to win at Epsom – he is a son of Derby winner New Approach, himself a son of Derby winner Galileo who is a half-brother to Derby winner Sea The Stars, who is by Masar’s broodmare sire Cape Cross.

He is the sire of Derby winner Golden Horn, the Oaks winner Ouija Board and broodmare sire of another Derby winner in Australia.

Masar is inbred 3x4 to the great Urban Sea, dam of the Group/Grade 1 winners Galileo, Sea The Stars, My Typhoon and Black Sam Bellamy and the Oaks-placed All Too Beautiful and Melikah (third dam of Massar), as well as the Group 3 winner Urban Ocean, the Group 1-placed, Listed winner Born To Sea and the Group-placed Cherry Hinton.

Masar is the first runner and winner out of the Group 2 UAE Derby and Group 3 UAE Oaks winner Khawlah. She is a half-sister to Vancouverite (Dansili), winner of the Group 2 Prix Guillaume d’Ornano and second in the Group 1 Jebel Hatta.

They are two of the five winners produced by Villarrica. She was a winner over 1m3f and 1m4f by Selkirk and out of Melikah, who is by the Derby, the King George and the Arc winner Lammtarra.

Melikah won the Listed Pretty Polly Stakes and was placed in both the Oaks and Irish Oaks and is the dam of nine winners from 11 runners, including the Group 2 Grand Prix de Deauville winner and the Group 1 Arc third Masterstroke (Monsun), the Group 3 Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial and Group 3 Meld Stakes winner Moonlight Magic, who was also placed in the Group 1 Irish Champion Stakes, Royal Line, who was a Group 3 winner, and the Listed winner Hidden Gold, a daughter of Shamardal, and the dam of 2022’s Group 2 Balanchine Stakes winner Creative Flair.

Melikah’s half-sisters have also produced top-class racehorses with All Too Beautiful by Sadler’s Wells producing the Listed Cheshire Oaks winner and Group 1 Oaks, Irish Oaks and Yorkshire Oaks-placed Wonder Of Wonders (Kingmambo).

All Too Beautiful also produced the Group 3-placed Sparrow (Oasis Dream), who in turn is the dam of the Group 1 Cox Plate and Tancred Stakes winner Sir Dragonet, a son of Camelot who was fourth in the St Leger.

Cherry Hinton, who achieved least on the track of Urban Sea’s offspring, has done better as a broodmare. The daughter of Green Desert is the dam of Group 1 Irish Oaks and Group 2 Ribblesdale Stakes winner Bracelet and the Group 2 Rockfel Stakes winner Wading, both by Montjeu.

Wading’s four-year-old Dansili daughter Just Wonderful emulated her dam by winning the Rockfel and was twice placed in Group 1 races last year.

Cherry Hinton is also the dam of the Grade 1 Belmont Oaks winner Athena (Camelot), who was also placed in two more Group 1 races, and her full-sister Goddess, a Group 3 winner last year. Athena’s first foal, the Dubawi filly Never Ending Story, won the Group 3 Silver Flash Stakes at Leopardstown in July.

Phoenix Of Spain

A

CLASSIC-WINNING miler from the hottest sire line right now, Phoenix Of Spain has the potential to be a pivotal stallion for the Irish National Stud.

The grey is one of 15 individual Group/Grade 1 winners sired by the brilliant Prix du Jockey-Club and Poule d’Essais des Poulains winner Lope De Vega.

Phoenix Of Spain broke his maiden on just his second start and was immediately upped in grade for the Group 2 Acomb Stakes where he produced a class performance for a comfortable win.

Then he tackled Too Darn Hot in the Group 2 Champagne Stakes at Doncaster and he proved best of the rest beating the Group 2 Railway Stakes winner Van Beethoven. He displayed class and courage in the Group 1 Vertem Futurity Trophy when battling hard with Magna Grecia and went down by just a head to the future 2,000 Guineas winner.

Phoenix Of Spain skipped that first Classic to wait for the Irish 2,000 Guineas and trainer Andrew Balding’s decision proved to be a shrewd one – the son of Lope De Vega was a decisive 3l winner from the European champion two-year-old Too Darn Hot, with Magna Grecia further down the field.

Phoenix Of Spain ran four more times over a mile with a fifth place, less than 3l behind Circus Maximus in the Group 1 Prix du Moulin, his best effort – all four horses ahead of him were Group 1 winners.

He is one of seven winners from eight runners so far for Lucky Clio, a daughter of Key Of Luck who failed to win but was placed on three occasions as a three-year-old. Four of her winners are black-type performers with two rated 107 – the Azamour gelding Central Square, a three-time winner who was third in the Group 3 Royal Whip Stakes, and Lucky Beggar (Verglas), the winner of seven races and placed 29 times, including in the Listed Free Handicap and Listed Rockingham Stakes.

Lucky Clio is also the dam of the 102-rated King’s Best gelding Kingsdesire, who won twice and was third in the Group 3 Dee Stakes.

Lucky Clio is a half-sister to the dual Group 2 Prix Daniel Wildenstein winner Special Kaldoun, a son of Kaldoun who also has four Group 3 races to his name and is at stud in France.

She is also a half-sister to the Listed-placed filly Privalova (Alhaarth), while third dam Macedoin is a half-sister to the Grade 1 Gamely Handicap winner La Koumia.

Phoenix Of Spain has Key Of Luck as his broodmare sire, as did the ill-

PHOENIX OF SPAIN 6yo | Lope De Vega-Lucky Clio (Key Of Luck) Irish National Stud

2020: €15,000 | 2021: €12,500 | 2022: €12,500

fated Society Rock, who made such an impact in his short stallion career, while Phoenix Of Spain’s sire Lope De Vega is by Shamardal. He had such an outstanding year in 2019, siring the unbeaten juvenile colts and Group 1 winners Victor Ludorum, Earthlight and Pinatubo, crowned European champion, and the Royal Ascot sprint king Blue Point.

Phoenix of Spain has proved to be very popular with breeders, and has sired 92 foals in his first crop with the highlight being the three-parts sister to Group 1 Phoenix Stakes winner Lucky Vega. That daughter of Queen Of Carthage brought €195,000 from Lucky Vega’s owner Yuesheng Zhang at the Goffs November Foal Sale where she was consigned by Baroda Stud.

With such an outstanding pedigree, the filly was the most expensive of the 36 members of her sire’s first crop to sell last winter. Her six-figure price helped push Phoenix Of Spain’s yearling average over €30,000 but as the median was €25,487/£21,517 it’s quite obvious that market demand for Phoenix Of Spain’s stock was strong.

His most expensive colt foal was also among those sold at Goffs – Nicola Kent consigned a half-brother to the Listed-placed pair of Salt Lake City and Terrichang who was bought for €52,000 by Woodtown House Stud.

1st Dam LUCKY CLIO (IRE), placed 3 times at 3 years and £1,120; dam of 7 winners:

Robin Of Navan

R

OBIN OF NAVAN was a wonderful flagbearer for trainer Harry Dunlop and his team, competing at the highest level for five seasons, and the chestnut is marketed as a dual-purpose sire.

The son of the Group 1 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches, the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardère and the Racing Post Trophy winner American Post is his sire’s best offspring to date, as the winner of the Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud in which he beat the likes of Group 1 winners Cloth Of Stars and Isfahan, and the Group 2 winner Idaho.

During his juvenile season he broke his maiden over 7f and won the Group 3 Prix de Conde and the Listed Criterium over a mile at Deauville.

As a three-year-old he was second in the Group 1 Premio Roma and the Group 2 Prix Greffuhle and won the Group 3 La Coupe at four.

He was also second in the Group 1 Prix d’Ispahan by a neck and fourth to Ribchester in the Group 1 Prix du Moulin. Robin Of Navan put in some good performances in defeat as a five-year-old and returned at the age of six in 2019 to win the Group 2 Meilen Trophy and finish third in the Group 2 Premio Vittorio di Capua.

In total, he raced 35 times over five seasons, winning six races and being placed in 16 more ranging in distance from 7f to 1m4f.

Robin Of Navan was a Con Marnane pinhook from the Arqana October Yearling Sale – purchased for just €10,000 he was resold to Stroud Coleman for €47,000 at the 2015 Arqana Breeze Up. He is the first foal out of his dam, the placed Muhtathir mare Cloghran, who has gone on to produce the Group 3 Prix de la Force-placed My Pleasure (Lethal Force) and the dual-winning miler Tillet, a daughter of Rock Of Gibraltar.

Cloghran is out of The Wise Lady, placed in the three Group 3 races,

68

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

and the dam of Group 1 Singapore Cup third and Group 3 Premio Sergio Cumani winner Ming Zhi Cosmos (Duke Of Marmalad) and Melodyman, successful in the Listed Prix Fontainebleu.

The Wise Lady is a half-sister to Liliside, a Listed winner by American Post, who was disqualified when first past the post in the Group 1 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches and is the dam of superstar Lys Gracieux.

The daughter of Heart’s Cry won the Group 1 Cox Plate, Takarazuka Kinen and Queen Elizabeth II Commemorative Cup. Another half-sister to The Wise Lady is Golden Lily (Dolphin Street), the dam of the 2018 Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac winner Lily’s Candle (Style Vendome). Third dam Miller’s Lily is a daughter of Miller’s Mate, and is also the dam of the Listed winner Lily America, again by American Post.

American Post is descended from Madrilene, the ancestress of High Top and Old Vic amongst others, and is from a good Juddmonte family.

He is also the sire of multiple US Grade 2 winner Itsinthepost, the Group 2 Prix de la Nonette winner Castellar, the Group 3 winners Ameenah, Gaining and Ma Preference and the Scandinavian Group 3 winner and Newmarket Listed second Quarterback.

He is a son of Bering whose damsire is Lyphard and Robin Of Navan’s dam Cloghran is inbred to Lyphard so the son of Northern Dancer appears three times in the first five generations of Robin Of Navan’s pedigree.

Robin Of Navan is also inbred to Mill Reef, through his sons Shirley Heights and Miller’s Mate, but despite the proliferation of Northern Dancer blood, he also appears twice himself, there is a complete absence of Danzig in Robin Of Navan’s pedigree.

Robin Of Navan has 28 reported yearlings in his first crop and covered 48 mares in 2021.

SOLDIER’S CALL 6yo | Showcasing-Dijarvo (Iceman) Ballyhane Stud

2020: €10,000 | 2021: €7,500 | 2022: €7,500

A

N EXCITING ADDITION to the Irish stallion ranks, Soldier’s Call offers one of the few opportunities available in Ireland to tap into the Oasis Dream branch of the Green Desert sire-line.

Soldier’s Call was a high-class racehorse at two and three and is a son of Showcasing, who has made such a rapid ascent up the stallion ladder with Group 1 winners Mohaather, Advertise and Quiet Reflection heading a list of 30 individual Group winners.

Bred to be quick, Soldier’s Call was all that on the track, and he excelled over 5f. Out early with a debut second in May, he broke his maiden at the second attempt and then provided trainer Archie Watson and owner Steve Parkin of Clipper Logistics with a first Royal Ascot winner when successful in the Listed 5f Windsor Castle Stakes.

He was then third in the Group 3 Molecomb Stakes and made the breakthrough at Group level when winning the Group 3 Prix d’Arenberg.

He made the step up to Group 2 level in a scorching renewal of the Group 2 Flying Childers Stakes winning in a record time.

He went agonisingly close to winning at Group 1 level finishing a head and a short-head third in the Prix de l’Abbaye to Mab’s Cross and Gold Vibe. Those behind included Group 1 winners Battaash, Sioux Nation, Havana Grey and Alpha Delphini.

As a three-year-old he performed consistently at the highest level and was second to Battaash in the Group 1 Nunthorpe Stakes and third to Blue Point in the Group 1 King’s Stand Stakes, beating horses of the calibre of Ten Sovereigns, Fairyland and Mab’s Cross.

He was also fourth to Fairyland in the Group 1 Flying Five Stakes, again beating Mab’s Cross. Furthermore he was placed in the Group 2 Sapphire Stakes and the Listed Westow Stakes.

Soldier’s Call has a pedigree full of speed and precocity as a descendant of the Group 2 Flying Childers and Queen Mary Stakes winner Abeer, who was also placed in the Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes, the Group 2 Cherry Hinton and the Lowther Stakes and Group 3 Cornwallis Stakes.

Soldier’s Call’s dam Dijarvo performed to her best over 5f winning the Listed Prix de la Fleche at two, but she was Grade 3-placed at four over 7f.

She is from the only crop of the Group 2 Coventry Stakes winner Iceman, who was also placed in the Group 1 Middle Park, the Dewhurst Stakes and the Group 2 Champagne Stakes for owner-breeder Cheveley Park Stud.

He was a Polar Falcon three-parts brother to the Group 1 Lockinge Stakes winner Virtual from the family of Entrepreneur and Exclusive.

Dijarvo is a half-sister to Baileys Applause, a winner by Royal Applause and the dam of Mamba Noire (Iffraaj) , who finished third tin he Group 2 Lowther Stakes, the Duchess of Cambridge Stakes (G2) and the Group 3 Grangecon Stud Stakes.

His second dam Thicket is a daughter of Wolfhound. She was a winner at two, the dam of eight winners and out of the Listed St Hugh’s Stakes third Sharpthorne, whose two wins were at 6f.

She is a Sharpen Up daughter of Abeer and a half-sister to the Listed winner Cloud Forest.

It is a Juddmonte family up to Thicket, who was bred and raced by Prince Khalid Abdullah’s operation.

His combination of looks, sire power and race record ensured that Soldier’s Call was hugely popular with breeders in his first season at Ballyhane Stud and consequently he has 116 registered yearlings on the ground.

Of those 116, 35 were offered for sale as foals with 32 changing hands for an average of €24,896/£21,075. Three of the crop sold for more than €50,000 with one colt, inbred 3x2 to Oasis Dream making 100,000gns to BB Bloodstock from Amy Marnane. He is the first foal out Safeenah, an unraced three-parts sister to champion sprinter and Group 1 sire Muhaarar.

Glenvale Stud paid 72,000gns at the same sale for a half-brother to Italian Listed winner Blue Sky Dreamer offered by Trickledown Stud. The third foal to break the €50,000 mark was Drumachon Stud’s colt out of a Cape Cross full-sister to the Superlative Stakes winner Hatta Fort and a half-sister to Group 3 winners Spirit Of Appin and Blue Bayou. He was purchased by JB Bloodstock for €50,000 at Goffs November.

Study Of Man

T

HE FIRST SON of the legendary Deep Impact to retire straight to stud in England, the Prix du Jockey-Club (G1) winner Study Of Man has an exquisite female family.

From one of the Niarchos family’s most treasured pedigrees, the Classic winner is a fascinating stallion prospect for Lanwades.

Trained by Pascal Bary for the Niarchos family, Study Of Man won his only start at two and was second in the Group 3 Prix La Force over 1m1f on his seasonal debut at three.

A commanding victory in the Group 2 Prix Greffulhe over the Prix du Jockey-Club trip made him a leading contender for that Classic and he duly delivered at Chantilly winning in an easier manner than the winning margin would suggest. Behind him that day were Group 1 winners Intellogent, Olmedo and Flag Of Honour.

He failed to win again in three more 2018 starts, but was only four and a half lengths behind Enable in the Group 1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe on his final run of the season.

He returned in the Group 1 Prix Ganay where he found only Waldgeist too good and he filled the same position in the Group 1 Prix d’Ispahan behind Zabeel Prince.

In the Group 3 Prix Messidor he was tried over a mile for the first time since his debut at two and was beaten less than 2l into second.

His pedigree is exquisite – he is out of the Storm Cat mare Second Happiness, a daughter of the wonderful Miesque.

Study Of Man is a full-brother to Tale Of Life, who was successful at two and four in France, and he is a half-brother to the Bago-sired trio of Zen, Mambo Nephew and Happy.

The first two were winners and while Happy was unraced she is the dam of winners Waterboy (Stormy River), who was stakes placed, and Franklyn, a son of Archipenko.

Second Happiness, who ran only three times and was placed once, is a full-sister to the winner Ama. She is the dam of five winners, including the Listed winner Lunar Maria (Dubawi).

It is Second Happiness’s half-siblings, especially the ones by Mr. Prospector, who have enshrined their dam Miesque in the bloodstock

pantheon. Second Happiness is a half-sister to the Group 1 Poule d’Essais des Poulins, Prix du Moulin and St James’s Palace Stakes winner Kingmambo, who became a champion sire and is a leading broodmare sire.

Her Mr. Prospector half-sister Monevassia is the dam of the Group 1 Moyglare Stakes and Prix Marcel Boussac winner Rumplestiltskin, who in turn is the dam of Group 1 Yorkshire Oaks winner Tapestry, herself the dam of Group 3 winner John F Kennedy.

Monevassia is also the dam of the Group 3 winner I Am Beautiful and the second dam of Japanese Group 1 winners Real Steal (also a Dubai Turf winner) and Loves Only You (whose Breeders’ Cup Filly And Mare Turf victory last year was part of a hugely successful season for Japanese horses). They are closely related to Study Of Man as they are by Deep Impact and out of a Storm Cat three-parts sister to Second Happiness.

Also by Mr. Prospector out of Miesque is the Group 3 Prix de RisOrangis winner and Group 1 Prix Maurice de Gheest and Prix de la Forêt second Miesque’s Son, who is the sire of Group 1 winner Whipper.

Miesque has produced the Listed, Group 2 and 3-placed Inventing Paradise to Mr. Prospector.

By the Niarchos family’s own Private Account is Miesque’s best daughter East Of The Moon, who won the Group 1 Prix de Diane, the Prix Jacques le Marois and the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches.

She is dam of Group 3 winner Moon Driver and the second dam of Group 1 Prix Jacques le Marois, the Irish 1,000 Guineas, the Coronation Stakes and the Falmouth Stakes winner Alpha Centauri, who was European champion three-year-old miler in 2018, and her full-sister, the Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes winner of 2021 Discoveries, and her Group 1 Coronation Stakes winning half-sister Alpine Star by Study Of Man’s stud mate Sea The Moon.

By A.P. Indy, Miesque produced the Group 3 Meld Stakes winner and Group 1 International Stakes-placed Mingun, who is a sire in America, and she produced the Listed winner Moon Is Up to Woodman.

Moon Is Up is the dam of South African Grade 1 winner Amanee (Pivotal) and the second dam of the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Mile and

Group 1 Poule d’Essai des Poulains winner and successful sire Karakontie (Bernstein) .

By another Niarchos great in Nureyev, Miesque was a full-sister to the French Listed winner Massaraat, who is the second dam of the Group 2 Cherry Hinton Stakes winner Silent Honor (Sunday Silence), the Group 2 Ribblesdale Stakes winner Silkwood (Singspiel) and the Listed-placed Shrill.

Massaraat is also the second dam of Indian Petal (a full-sister to Silkwood), the dam of 2019’s Grade 1 Northern Dancer Turf Stakes and Group 1 Dubai Sheema Classic winner Old Persian.

Miesque is also a half-sister to Yogya (Riverman), who is the dam of Group 1 Prix Jacques le Marois and Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Mile heroine Six Perfections (Celtic Swing).

She is the dam of Group 2 winner Planet Five (Storm Cat) and the Group 3 winner and Group 1-placed Yucatan (Galileo).

Study Of Man’s sire is also regally bred as a son of Sunday Silence and out of the Group 1 Aral Pokal winner and Group 1 Oaks and Yorkshire Oaks-placed Wind In Her Hair (Alzao).

She is out of Burghclere, who was bred by The Queen, a daughter of the 1,000 Guineas and Prix de Diane winner Highclere, also the dam of Fillies’ Mile winner Height Of Fashion. She is best known as the dam of 2,000 Guineas, the Derby, the Eclipse and the King George winner Nashwan, the Group 1 Champion Stakes, the International Stakes, the Dubai Sheema Classic and the Prince of Wales’s Stakes winner Nayef, and the Group 2 Princess Of Wales’s Stakes winner Unfuwain.

She is also the second dam of the 1,000 Guineas and Coronation Stakes winner, Ghanaati and the family has produced the brilliant Baaeed and his Sea The Stars full-brother, the Coronation Cup winner Hukum.

Study Of Man was strongly supported at stud by the Niarchos family and Kirsten Rausing, with 50 first-crop yearlings registered. Only four of them were offered for sale last year, and three sold for an average of €30,057/£25,305 and a median of €37,440/£31,500.

Barton Stud consigned the highest-priced foal by Study Of Man at the Tattersalls December Foal Sale where Castle Bloodstock bought the colt out of Avyanna, a daughter of Galileo and Yorkshire Oaks winner Mi Emma for 31,000gns.

Kirsten Rausing’s St Simon Stud sold the first foal out of Quintada, a winning daughter of Lanwades’ star-crossed stallion Leroidesanimaux, for 30,000gns to Flaxman Stables Ireland. The colt is a grandson of the Group 1 Premio Lydia Tesio winner Quiza Quiza Quiza.

Taj Mahal

T

AJ MAHAL has one of the best pedigrees of any sire who retired to stud in 2020 as a son of the incomparable Galileo and a full-brother to the Group 1 winners Gleneagles, Marvellous, Happily, the Group 1-placed Joan Of Arc, and to the Group 3 winner and Group 1-placed Coolmore and to the Group 1-placed Vatican City and Toy. His dam You’resothrilling is possibly the best active broodmare in the world with eight winners from eight runners, all of which have earned Group 1 black-type.

On the track, You’resothrilling won the Group 2 Cherry Hinton Stakes and is a full-sister to the legendary Giant’s Causeway, the leading New York-based sire Freud and the dam of the Group 1 winner and sire Decorated Knight. She is a half-sister to the dam of Group 2 winner and Group 1-placed Storm The Stars.

Third dam Mariah’s Storm by Rahy won the Grade 2 Lassie Stakes and inspired a movie.

Taj Mahal began his racing career, like his siblings, in the care of Aidan O’Brien. He ran eight times at two, winning his maiden over 7f and finishing third in the Group 3 Killavullen Stakes, as well as placing in three times.

As a three-year-old he was placed in Group 1 contests in three continents starting with the Prix du Jockey-Club at Chantilly before finishing second to future Breeders’ Cup winner Oscar Performance in the

Secretariat Stakes at Arlington and ending with the Emirates Stakes.

He remained in Australia for the rest of his racing career and there he won two renewals of the Group 2 Zipping Classic over 1m4f, beating Almandin in the first and he also showed his versatility and speed with success in the mile Group 3 JRA Cup. As a stallion he possess enormous potential as a son of Galileo, who has more than 20 sons at stud who have sired Group/Grade 1 winners, and as a full-brother to the dual 2,000 Guineas hero Gleneagles, who had a top 2021 with his first Group 1 winner Loving Dream.

His “uncle” Giant’s Causeway won three sires’ championships in North America and was leading first-season sire in Europe, while his son Shamardal and grandson Lope De Vega have ruled in Europe.

Taj Mahal is inbred 3x4 to Northern Dancer and 5x5 to Hail To Reason through his sons Bold Reason and Roberto, but is completely free of Danzig blood making him an ideal stallion for the numerous branches of Danzig that proliferate in Europe.

His first crop numbered 48 and includes a half-brothers to a pair of Listed Criterium du Bequet winners. One is a half to The Turning Point out of the Chilean 1,000 Guineas third L’Ete while the other is a half to Feralia.

There is also a half-sister to the Group 3 Prix Thomas Byron second Homeryan out of a Red Ransom half-sister to te Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac winner and Prix de Diane second Rosanara from the family of Rajsaman.

Ten Sovereigns

A

GRANDSON OF THE MUCH-MISSED SCAT DADDY, Ten Sovereigns is the sixth Group 1-winning juvenile in his direct sireline, and is the best horse from the first two enormously exciting crops of No Nay Never.

He was rated 120 after an unbeaten juvenile campaign that only took in three races, and the buzz Ten Sovereigns created after his debut 7l success in a 25-runner Curragh maiden was unmissable.

He came good on the promise of that run with a facile victory in the Group 3 Round Tower Stakes and he passed his first serious exam with flying colours in the Group 1 Middle Park Stakes.

Despite having a 1m2f winner as his dam, Ten Sovereigns’ ability to last the mile of the Guineas was in doubt because of his scintillating speed but he was still sent off favourite for the 2,000 Guineas. He raced prominently on the far side eventually finishing two heads behind Skardu and Madhmoon in third on the far side, and fifth overall to Magna Grecia, who ran on the stands’ side.

Dropped back in trip to 6f for the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup, he didn’t seem back to his sparkling self but still managed fourth place behind Advertise. At Newmarket for the Group 1 July Cup, the rocket of old returned and he firmly upended the Ascot form.

The 5f trip of the Nunthorpe Stakes didn’t play to his strengths and he was then quarantined for an ambitious tilt at The Everest in Australia from where he retired to stud duties.

Ten Sovereigns is one of five winners so far out of the French Listed second and Group 3-placed mare Seeking Solace (Exceed And Excel).

She is a half-sister to the Group 2 Al Fahidi Fort second Flash Fire (Shamardal), and they are two of the seven winners out of the Theatrical mare Flamelet, who won at three and was second in the Group 3

Derrinstown Stud 1,000 Guineas Trial from just three runs.

Flamelet is a half-sister to the Listed Prix de Montretout winner Bezerin and to Firemaid, a winning daughter of Machiavellian. Firemaid is the dam of Grade 1 Oakleigh Plate winner Shamal Wind, a daughter of Dubawi, and she is also the second dam of the Group 2 Rockfel Stakes winner Al Thakhira, who is also by Dubawi.

Third dam Darling Flame is by Capote and was placed in the Group 2 Cherry Hinton Stakes. She is a half-sister to the Group 3 Concorde Stakes and Listed Yasuda Kinen and Keio Hai Spring Cup winner Heart Lake.

The fourth dam is the Grade 1 Fantasy Stakes and Grade 3 Oaklawn Oaks winner My Darling One. A daughter of Exclusive Native, she was also placed in the Grade 1 Kentucky Oaks from just eight starts and is the dam of eight winners.

Ten Sovereigns has an international and stallion’s pedigree as the son of a European champion first-season sire and the grandson of another – his broodmare sire Exceed And Excel, who earned those laurels in Australia.

His first crop includes 133 yearlings with a quarter of them coming under the hammer as foals for an average of €59,153/£49,911.

His most expensive foal was sold at Goffs last November for €165,000 to Filip Zwicky and York Stud. Offered by the Castlebridge Consignment, she is a half-sister to the Listed winner and Group 2-placed Talk Or Listed and to Roussel, who was second in the Windsor Castle and Dragon Stakes as a two-year-old.

Two colts by Ten Sovereigns also sold for more than €100,000 at Goffs with Pier House Stud buying the third foal out of Indigo Butterfly, a Le Havre half-sister to Flying Childers Stakes winner Sand Vixen, dam of the Group 1 winner Dream Castle, for €130,000 from Ballinacurra Stud.

Camas Park Stud went to €125,000 for Grange Hill Stud’s half-brother

Too Darn Hot

A

N UNBEATEN CHAMPION two-year-old by the world’s leading sire, from the Aga Khan family of former top sire Darshaan, Too Darn Hot was the most expensive new stallion of 2020.

A homebred from Lord and Lady Lloyd-Webber’s Watership Down Stud, Too Darn Hot made an eyecatching debut over a mile at Sandown in the August of his two-year-old season. He quickly showed that first impression correct with a powerful performance to win the 7f Group 3 Solario Stakes. He improved again when winning the Group 2 Champagne Stakes at Doncaster with a strong showing ahead of subsequent Classic winner Phoenix Of Spain, yjr Group 2 winners Van Beethoven and Dark Vision.

Arguably he put in the best performance of his career in the Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes and was given an official rating of 126, making him the highest-rated two-year-old in Europe of 2018.

An interrupted preparation meant he skipped the 2,000 Guineas, and, with a Derby tilt in mind, he returned in the 1m2f furlong Group 2 Dante Stakes. He suffered the first defeat of his career, failing to land a telling blow on winner Telecaster but his second place was ahead of Japan, Nayef Road and Line Of Duty. Too Darn Hot went back to a mile for the Irish 2,000 Guineas but lacked the speed of the winner Phoenix Of Spain, and again had to settle for the runner-up place.

His Royal Ascot target was the Group 1 St James’s Palace Stakes where he lacked the finishing kick of his rivals, this time Circus Maximus, who held off Too Darn Hot’s stablemate King Of Comedy with Too Darn Hot in third. He finished in front of the Group 1 winners Phoenix Of Spain and Royal Marine.

The 7f Group 1 Prix Jean Prat at Deauville was a case of mission accomplished with a 3l success over Space Blues. The final start of his career came in the Group 1 Sussex Stakes and it was a successful swansong as he narrowly fended off the challenge of Circus Maximus.

Too Darn Hot is the fifth runner and fourth winner out of the Group 1 Pretty Polly Stakes, Yorkshire Oaks and Dubai Sheema Classic winner Dar Re Mi. She has already produced the Group 3 Musidora Stakes winner and Group 1 Prix de l’Opera heroine So Mi Dar and the Listed Pretty Polly Stakes and Group 1 St Leger third Lah Ti Dar, full-sisters to Too Darn Hot. Her first runner was the Group 2 winner De Treville, who is at stud in France and beginning to get winners.

Dar Re Mi has a fantastic pedigree as a half-sister to three Group 1 winners out of a Group 1-winning half-sister to Darshaan. Her dam is the Prix Vermeille and Group 3 Prix de Psyche winner Darara. She was bred by the Aga Khan and is a Top Ville half-sister to Group 1 Prix du JockeyClub winner and influential sire Darshaan.

Darara produced six Group 1 performers with the others being the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes and the Dubai Sheema Classic winner Rewilding (Tiger Hill), who was also third in the Derby, the Sadler’s Wells’ trio of

the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Cup winner Diaghilev, Darazari, winner of the Group 1 Ranvet Stakes, and Rhagaas, who was third in the Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club, as well as the Listed winner and Prix du Cadran third Dariyoun (Sharastani) and the Group 2 King Edward VII Stakes second Kilimanjaro, a son of Shirley Heights.

Too Darn Hot features some balanced inbreeding to highly influential mare Sunbittern through her daughters High Hawk, dam of Singspiel’s sire In The Wings, and High Tern, who is the third dam of Dubawi.

He is also the fastest of his siblings as his two full-sisters both excelled over further trips than his optimum mile, while dam Dar Re Mi and her siblings were also more stoutly bred. Although he was a miler, he is somewhat of an outlier in his family and may be capable of producing offspring with more stamina than he possessed.

His first crop of yearlings numbers 127 and, given his pedigree, and race record, it is unsurprising that he received a top-class book of mares.

Among his first fillies are a three-parts sister to Arabian Queen, who lowered the colours of Golden Horn in the Juddmonte International, the British Champions’ Fillies and Mares’ Stakes winner Journey and half-sisters to Group 1 winners Cascadian, Galileo Gold and Lord North.

His oldest colts include three-parts brothers to Group 1-winning juvenile Quorto and one of last season’s standout first-season sires Time Test.

Too Darn Hot is also the sire of a yearling half-brother to Godolphin’s homebred Derby hero Masar and to the Ascot Gold Cup winner Subjectivist.

At last winter’s foal sales a total of 16 of his first crop went under the hammer with 11 of them selling for an average of €131,954/£111,001 with three six-figure sales, all at the Tattersalls December Sale.

The most expensive was Appletree Stud’s filly out of Princess Royal Stakes winner Astonishing, who was bought by Stroud Coleman for 270,000gns.

She is a half-sister to the stakes-placed Prize Exhibit and Gold Maze, out of a Galileo full-sister to Group 3 Prix de Royaumont winner Sub Rose, the dam of Subway Dancer.

Too Darn Hot’s most expensive colt foal is also out of a Galileo mare; Dazzling who is a Listed-winning full-sister to Irish 2,000 Guineas winner Roderic O’Connor.

Offered by New England Stud, he was purchased by Godolphin for 250,000gns.

The third foal from his first crop to make in excess of 100,000gns was Altenbach Bloodstock’s daughter of Duchess of Cambridge Stakes second Magical Fire, a Dragon Pulse half-sister to Group/Grade 2 winners Hawksmoor and Royal Dornoch. She was bought by Jamie Railton Sales Agency for 150,000gns.

Waldgeist

T

HE ONLY GROUP 1 WINNER by Galileo who was retired to stud in Britain or Ireland for 2020 and aimed at Flat breeders, Waldgeist represents some of the same interests that combined to launch Lope de Vega’s enormously successful stallion career, namely his co-owner and breeder Dietrich von Bottischer and Ballylinch Stud.

Pleasingly his first crop of foals were very well-received at the sales last year, making a refreshing change from the usual fate of a middle-distance sire.

Waldgeist retired to stud as an Arc winner and the only horse to defeat Enable in 15 starts, denying her bid for racing immortality in the Group 1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. That was the crowning achievement of a racing career that encompassed four seasons, four Group 1 victories, nine race wins and three Group 1 seconds.

Trained by André Fabre for a partnership of van Bottischer’s Gestüt Ammerland and Newsells Park Stud, and for a while the Coolmore partners, Waldgeist ran three times as a two-year-old. He made a winning debut in a mile maiden, was third in a Group 3 contest before claiming the Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud from a field that contained four future Group 1 winners.

At three, he showed the speed for the 1m2f Group 1 Prix du JockeyClub distance losing first place to Brametot in the dying strides. He was also second in the Group 2 Prix Greffuhle and he added placed efforts in the Group 1 Irish Derby and the 1m4f Grosser Preis von Bayern, as well as when a neck second in the Group 3 Cumberland Lodge Stakes.

At four he added a second Group 1 in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud and won the Group 2 Grand Prix de Chantilly and Prix Foy, in which he defeated Breeders’ Cup Turf winner Talismanic, and the Group 3 Prix d’Hedouville. He was placed behind Enable in the Arc and went travelling taking in the Breeders’ Cup Turf and Hong Kong Vase.

He returned as a five-year-old and he was better than ever starting the season with victory in the 1m2f Group 1 Prix Ganay, and was third to Crystal Ocean and Magical in the Group 1 Prince of Wales’s Stakes.

Back up to 1m4f for the Group 1 King George and Queen Elizabeth Stakes he finished third behind Enable and Crystal Ocean, won his second successive Prix Foy at Longchamp in September before he dethroned Enable in the Arc, a race in which he also defeated Group 1 winners Sottsass, Japan, Magical, Kiseki, French King, Ghaiyyath, Blast Onepiece and Fierement.

Waldgeist is a member of one of the best families in Germany, and indeed Europe, over the past 75 years, that of Gestüt Ravensberg’s W-Line descended from Waldrun.

His dam is the Group 3 Prix Penelope winner Waldlerche, a daughter of the great Monsun.

As well as Waldgeist, she is also the dam of the Group 2 Prix de Malleret winner Waldlied, a three-parts sister to Waldgeist (New Approach), who made 2.2m guineas at the Tattersalls December Mares Sale last year.

Her then three-year-old Wildfeder, a full-sister to Waldgeist, sold for €2.05m at Arqana just days later, as the partnership between Ammerland and Newsells Park was dissolved.

Waldlerche is a half-sister to the Group 1 St Leger and Group 3 Bahrain Trophy winner Masked Marvel, a son of Montjeu who was also third in the Group 1 Coronation Cup and is building a good career as a stallion in France. She is also a half-sister the dual German Listed winner Waldnah, also by New Approach and they are out of the Falmouth Stakes second Waldmark (Mark Of Esteem).

Waldmark’s unraced full-sister Waldbeere produced the multiple Group 3 winner and sire Wiesenpfad (Waky Nao), the Group 3 Hamburger Flieger winner Waldpfad (Shamardal), who retired to stud at Gestüt Erftmuhle last year, and the Oasis Dream Listed winner Waldtraut, who was third in the Group 1 Preis der Diana.

She is also a half-sister to the Group 1 Deutsches Derby winner and sire Waldpark (Dubawi) and the Listed Derby Trial winner Waldvogel.

Third dam Wurftaube was a joint champion three-year-old filly in Germany and joint-champion older mare winning the Group 2 Gerling Preis and St Leger and the Group 3 Furstenberg-Rennen and Hamburger Stutenpreis.

She was also second in the Group 1 Deutschland Preis and is the dam of seven winners from eight runners.

She is a half-sister to the three-times Group 3 winner Wurfscheibe (Tiger Hill), who is the dam of Jukebox Jury’s Group 3-winning juvenile Arcatraz. Wurftaube is also a half-sister to the Listed-placed Wurfspiel (Lomitas), who is the dam of Grade 1 Man O’War Stakes winner Wake Forest.

Waldgeist’s first foals bucked the trend at the sales for stallions with a more middle-distance record and page. From 18 offered, 17 were sold for an average of €53,710/£45,454 with the most expensive of them Swordlestown Little’s filly from an outstanding Aga Khan family.

Boherguy Stud bought the daughter of Listed Ezalli (Cape Cross) for €180,000 and her dam is a half-sister to the dam of Taghrooda, and out of Ezilla, an unraced Darshaan full-sister to Listed winner Ebaziya, who is the dam of four Group 1 winners, including Estimate.

The other six-figure sale for Waldgeist came at Arqana’s December Breeding Stock Sale where Meridian International went to €100,000 for Elevage de Tourgeville’s first foal out of New Revenue, a Dark Angel halfsister to Group 3 Summer Stakes and Dick Poole Stakes winner New Providence.

photo finish: this year’s leading first-season sire Havana Grey HAVANA GREY has been lording it this summer with his first crop of runners and is a clear leader of the European first-season sires’ championship by number of winners. At the time of writing he has had 27 winners for 38 race wins. He has had 64 juvenile runners and his winners-to-runners strike rate is 42 per cent.

The stage was set when his first foals hit the sales ring, the 36 offered averaged 22,132gns with a top price of 130,000gns, a fine return on the Whitsbury Manor Stud sire’s first year covering fee of £8,000.

His yearlings stood out at last autumn’s sales as precocious types – 85 sold for an average of 26,167gns.

In addition to his number of winners, Havana Grey has sired eight Flat stakes performers, including the Listed Marwell Stakes winner Lady Hollywood, as well as two Group-placed horses – Maylandsea (Queen Mary Stakes (G2)) and Havana Angel (Prix du Bois (G3)).

The son of Havana Gold is also sire of the Super Sprint winner Eddie’s Boy, who has Listed placed form in the Windsor Castle Stakes and the Dragon Stakes, and finished fourth in the Molecomb Stakes (G3).

This spring, Havana Grey stood for £6,000 at Whitsbury Manor Stud – it is a price which is bound to increase for 2023!
