F EVER A STALLION deserved the epithet “regally bred” it is Cheveley Park Stud’s Group 1 Eclipse and Juddmonte International Stakes winner Ulysses. His sire Galileo’s influence on the thoroughbred will be felt for generations to come, his dam-sire Kingmambo has left an extraordinary legacy of his own and Ulysses’s own female family is an aristocratic dynasty shaped by the Niarchos family. The handsome chestnut finished outside the first four just twice in his 13 career starts, nine of which came in Group races. He began his career as a juvenile in an autumn Newbury mile maiden for Sir Michael Stoute, made his three-year-old seasonal reappearance over 1m2f before breaking his maiden over that same trip at Newbury. He won the Group 3 1m4f Gordon Stakes, and warmed up for his fourth place finish in the Breeders’ Cup Turf with a narrow defeat in the Winter Hill Stakes (G3) at Windsor. His four-year-old season began with victory over Group 1 winner My Dream Boat in the Gordon Richards Stakes (G3) before chasing home Highland Reel and Decorated Knight in the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes (G1) at Royal Ascot. His breakthrough at the highest level came less than three weeks later in the Eclipse Stakes when he got the better of Barney Roy. Conceding a stone to Enable in the Group 1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes, he chased her home in second place. No Enable and a drop down to 1m2f100yds for the Juddmonte International at York the following month produced a powerful performance from Ulysses, who beat a field that included Churchill, Barney Roy and Decorated Knight. His final race came in the Arc when third to Enable and his own close-relation Cloth Of Stars. His dam Light Shift was responsible for one of the most emotional Oaks successes when her triumph in the 2007 renewal brought Sir Henry Cecil back from the wilderness. Her lineage entitled her to be a Classic winner as a half-sister to Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup winner Shiva, now the grand-dam of Group 2 Gimcrack and Champagne Stakes winner Threat. Her half-brother Limos (Hector Protector), as is Shiva, won the Group 2 Prix Foy and Grand Prix du Printemps. Another half-sister, the Listed winner Burning Sunset by (Caerleon), is the dam of Group 2 winner and Group 1-placed Smoking Sun and the second dam of US champion Turf horse and champion older male, the four-time Grade 1 winner Main Sequence. She is also a full-sister to Light Blow, the unraced dam of this year’s Grade 3 Sam F Davis Stakes winner Sole Volante (Karakontie), and the Canadian Derby (G3) winner Trappe Shot.
