New To Lanwades Stud in 2014: Leroidesanimaux & North Light

Leroidesanimaux (BRZ)

• by Candy Stripes x Dissemble (Ahonoora)

A triple Grade 1 winner over a mile. He was Eclipse Award champion Turf horse in 2005. Leroidesanimaux has already proved himself at stud. He is the sire of three Grade 1 winners including champion Animal Kingdom as well as Grade 1 winning 2yo Una Cabeza. He was also the Leading Sire by earnings in America. Leroidesanimaux previously stood at Hallmark Stallions in America. Although he ran in America and was bred in Brazil, Leroidesanimaux has a strong European pedigree. His dam is a half sister to Hasili, the dam of Group/Grade 1 winners Intercontinental, Heat Haze, Caqique, Banks Hill, Champs Elysees and stallion sensation Dansili. Another of Dissemble's half sisters is Arrive dam of leading Irish filly Promising Lead and Group 2 winner Visit. Skiable dam of leading 2yo Three Valley's is another half siblings. Leroidesanimaux is an exciting recruit to the European stallion ranks. He is an exciting and perfect cross for Sadler's Wells mares, mares by his relation Dansili will be interesting. 

North Light (IRE)

• by Danehill x Sought Out (Rainbow Quest)

North Light previously stood at Adena Springs in Kentucky. He is the only horse by his great sire Danehill to win the Epsom Derby. North Light is from a very good Ballymaccoll family. He is a half brother to dual Group winner Cover Up. His 2nd dam Edinburgh was joint 3rd champion filly in France. She is the grand dam of Group 1 winner and exciting young national hunt stallion Gamut. This is from the same female family that produced Derby placed pair Golan and Tartan Bearer. North Light's early success at stud was fittingly in Europe when his son Artic Cosmos won the St Leger. North Light has since been champion sire in Canada. He has sired Group winners in 3 continents. Being a son of Danehill out of a Rainbow Quest mare, like Leroidesanimaux he is from a well known European family. North Light should be very appealing to European breeders.
