The legacy of Kind

 

On March 8th 2021, Juddmonte Farms announced that their outstanding broodmare Kind had sadly succumbed to complications following the foaling of a colt by their resident rising star stallion Kingman. This colt was her first live produce since her Galileo filly Chiasma was foaled in 2018. The stakes winning daughter of Danehill had in recent years been blighted by complications in getting in foal.

A homebred of Juddmonte Farms, Kind won six races including two at Listed level. She was also placed in Group 3 company. Retired at the end of her four-year-old campaign. She joined Juddmonte's broodmare band. A daughter of the aforementioned Danehill, she is out of Group 3 heroine Rainbow Lake. She too became a very successful broodmare with her best produce being two time Group/Grade 1 winner Powerscourt who following his retirement from racing stood at Ashford Farm in Kentucky. His biggest success as a sire came with Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes heroine Termagant and Grade 1 turf winner Finnegans Wake. Rainbow Lake also produced Group 2 Ribblesdale Stakes winner Riposte, now part of Juddmonte Farms broodmare band and Group 3 scorer Last Train.

When Kind retired to the paddocks, her first chosen stallion was the phenomenal Sadler's Wells. That mating resulted in Group 3 Derby Trial winner Bullet Train. He has now embarked on a stallion career and currently resides at Woodfield Farm Stud. It was Kind's mating with Sadler's Wells sire son Galileo that propelled her to become one of the premier broodmares in the world.

Frankel was born on the 11th February 2008. Those at Juddmonte who cared for him during his early days always felt he was out of the ordinary and Frankel certainly proved to be exactly that. He went unbeaten in fourteen races including ten Group 1's and achieved a timeform rating of 143, the highest rating allocated to a racehorse. Frankel has since risen through the stallion ranks and is now recognised as one of the best young sires in the world. He is the sire of multiple Group 1 winners including Cracksman, Without Parole, Soul Stirring, Hungry Heart, Quadrilateral and Anapurna.
 
Following Frankel was his full brother Noble Mission. He went on to become a three time Group 1 winner and emulated his famed brother by culminating his career in the British Champion Stakes. Noble Mission retired to Lanes End Farm in Kentucky. His best progeny to date have been dual Grade 1 winner Code Of Honor and Group winning Spanish Moon. In 2010 Kind produced her first foal by one of Juddmonte’s own resident sires in Oasis Dream. The resulting foal was Morpheus who won three times. He first retired to Tally-Ho stud and is now currently residing at Haras de Toury in France. In 2011 Kind produced her first filly and second produce by Oasis Dream. Subsequently named Joyeuse, she won two listed races and is now developing into a dynamic broodmare. Her progeny to date include Group 1 placed Shamardal mare Jubiloso, stakes placed Dubawi filly Jovial and juvenile winning Galileo colt Maximal. Joyeuse also has a two-year-old brother to Maximal named Badge and a yearling full-brother to Jubiloso.

Following two consecutive vists to Oasis Dream Kind again returned to Galileo which resulted in a flashy chesnut full-brother to Frankel and Noble Mission. He was placed in the care of Andre Fabre and given the name Proconsul. There was much media attention surrounding him however Proconsul was unsuccessful in two starts. He is now residing at Annshoon Stud. Four seasons passed when Kind’s next foal was born. In 2018 she produced her second filly and the first full-sister to Frankel and Noble Mission. Now named Chiasma, she is scheduled to debut in a fillies maiden at Sandown on Friday April 23^rd.  There will be many racing fans beaming if she wins on debut and goes on to record stakes success. Kind’s untimely death was a blow to the breeding industry but with the recent success of her sons and daughters at stud there is no doubt that her name will be appearing in the pedigrees of many Group 1 winners for years to come.

Broodmare Report: Filia Regina

A winner of a minor race as a three-year-old, Filia Regina on pedigree alone was always destined for a career in the paddocks. She resides at her owner and breeders Stanley House Stud in Newmarket. A daughter of Coolmore colossus, Galileo. She is out of multiple Group 1 heroine Ouija Board who  needs little introduction having won the Epsom and Curragh Oaks double as well as The Breeders Cup Filly & Mare Turf twice in what was an outstanding globetrotting racing career. Ouija Board then transitioned from successful racemare to a successful broodmare. Her best foal is undoubtedly dual Derby winner and Filia Regina's full-brother Australia who is beginning to establish his own success as a stallion for Coolmore. Ouija Board is also the dam of Australian Group winner Voodoo Prince, a son of Kingmambo and multiple Group winning Frontiersman, a son of Dubawi who has sice began a stallion career at Overbury Stud. 

Filia Regina is still relatively in the early years of her second career as a broodmare. Her sire Galileo has firmly established himself as one of Europe's top broodmare sires and with her dams achievements she certainly has every chance to produce a Group winner. She has been given the best possible chance of succeeding. Her first foal was Best Blue, a son of Oasis Dream, he got his dam off to a good start by becoming her first winner from her first runner. Best Blue later changed hands at the Tattersalls July Sale in 2018. Her next offspring is Zoran, a four-year-old colt by Invincible Spirit who is also a winner. Zoran subsequently changed hands at the Autumn Horses in Training sale at Tattersalls last year selling for 77,000 guineas. Since then she has visited Darley's prolific stallion Dubawi on a number of occasions. The only resultant progeny of this mating to have raced has been Persepone who was well beaten on her only start in January of last year. 

Filia Regina has an unraced three-year-old colt named Adrastus, by Dubawi, a two-year-old filly also by Dubawi and a yearling colt by the exciting Kingman. A sire I personally would like to see this mare visit is Lope De Vega who is recognized as one of the best young up and coming sires in Europe. He represents a nice cross for Filia Regina and has a strong strike rate with daughters of Galileo. It remains to be seen whether Filia Regina can transition into a top broodmare but early results show that the future looks intriguing with this young mare and there could yet be a major pedigree update for the family within the next few years. 

Goddess, a potential queen for Camelot

Yesterday's maiden at Leopardstown for two-year-old fillies featured one particular intriguing runner who was having her second start. The aptly named Goddess crossed the line ten lengths ahead of her nearest pursuer Munees Gemini, a daughter of first crop sire Australia who like the other five runners in the field was making her debut. Bred in Kentucky by Orpendale and Chelston, Goddess was equipped with a pedigree worthy of her name. She is by Europe's leading second crop sire Camelot, himself a triple classic winning son of Montjeu. Her dam is Group placed Cherry Hinton, who hails from undoubtedly the most successful female family in the stud book. Cherry Hinton is out of Arc winner Urban Sea, thus making her a half-sister to outstanding multiple champion sire Galileo as well as classic placed and Group producers All To Beautiful, granddam of Oaks placed Alluringly and Melikah, herself a great grandam to this years Epsom derby winner Masar. Cherry Hinton is a daughter of Green Desert, thus she is closely bred to the outstanding race horse and leading sire Sea The Stars. Further back in this outstanding family is Group 1 winner and sire Kings Best.

Cherry Hinton is quickly rising through the ranks of Coolmore's broodmare band. She has produced two individual Group/Grade 1 winners since retiring to the the paddocks, her first classic winner was Irish Oaks heroine Bracelet, by Camelot's sire Montjeu followed by Belmont Oaks heroine Athena, a three-year-old sister to Goddess. Another three-parts sibling is Wading, a sister to Bracelet who won the Group 2 Rockfel stakes as a juvenile and Simply A Star, stakes placed juvenile daughter of Giants Causeway. Cherry Hinton is currently residing in Kentucky where she produced a filly foal by triple crown winner American Pharoah this year. Following her recent success with Camelot, it is a good bet that this outstandingly bred mare will be crossing the Atlantic Ocean for another date with the triple classic winner. Following her impressive win yesterday, Goddess has been installed by some firms for 16/1 for next years Oaks, a race which sounds destined for her. She has an entry in the Group 1 Moyglare stud stakes on Irish champions weekend.

Cheltenham sires to follow

With the famous Cheltenham Festival beginning tomorrow, here is a look at some stallions who could produce a festival scorer.

Saddler Maker
A lightly raced son of Sadler's Wells. Saddler Maker is no stranger to Cheltenham success having sired Grade 1 winning hurdler Apple's Jade as well as Stayers runner up Alpha Des Obeaux. This years festival could be a prominent one for the ill fated stallion with full sisters Apple's Jade and Apple's Shakira lively contenders for their respective Grade 1 engagements in the Mares Hurdle and Triumph Hurdle. Some other progeny that could be each way shouts include Discorma (20/1 for the Martin Pipe), Chef Des Obeaux (5/1 for Albert Bartlett) and Bouvreuil (Brown Advisory H'cap chase 16/1).

Authorized
Another french based sire who sired stayers champion Nichols Canyon last year. Authorized is by the ever popular Montjeu sire line. His best chance of a winner is Tiger Roll in the Cross Country Chase who has also been tipped by his trainer Gordon Elliott who can be back at 5/1. Another potential each way shout in the Mares Novices hurdle is Woolstone One at 16/1 who has a Grade 1 entry in the Fairyhouse Easter Festival. Another runner best watched is Paul Nicholls Zubayr, who has quotes of 33/1 in both the Martin pipe and Randox Health County H'cap hurdle.

Yeats
The four time Ascot Gold Cup winner is still searching for his first festival scorer and this years renewal could see him breaking that duck. In recent months he has supplied exciting Grade 1 novice winner Shattered Love who has been given good reviews by her trainer Gordon Elliott in the JLT on Thursday. Mossback, owned by Gigginstown also has solid each way claims in the Amateur Riders Novices Chase tomorrow for which is a best priced 5/1. Another potential shout may be Thomas Campell whose form at Cheltenham reads three victories from five starts, and he hasn't been beaten too far. He's available at 16/1 for the Pertemps Hurdle.


Kings Theatre
The much missed Kings Theatre proved a phenomenal jumps stallion for Ballylinch Stud. He died in 2011, but his legacy on Cheltenham is still very much alive. He has a couple of chances this week with his best being the star pair of Cue Card and The New One who run in the Ryanair Chase and Stayers Hurdle respectively. Diamond King in the Coral Cup looks a solid each way chance while L'ami Surge has good course form.


Kayf Tara
Kayf Tara has been one of the leading sires of chasers at the festival for the last three years. The son of Sadler's Wells has cemented himself as one of the best jumps stallions in Britain. He is well represented but I reckon one of his best chances should be useful Novice chaser North Hill Harvey in the Grand Annual Cup. He is available to back at 9/1.

Milan
A leger winning son of Sadler's Wells and no stranger to festival success. Milan has two solid claims in Grade 1 races courtesy of Monalee in the RSA and the highly tipped Accy Milan in the Champion bumper. Santini also looks exciting in the Albert Bartlett and Mall Dini should have plenty of support in the Kim Muir.

Beneficial
Another top class sire who is sadly no longer around is Beneficial. De Plotting Shed could get him off to a good start tomorrow in the Close Brothers H'cap chase. Maria's Benefit also has a lively chance in the Grade 2 Mares Novices hurdle. A Hare Breath, a full brother to De Plotting Shed is also fancied in the Randox Health H'cap Hurdle.

Other sires to note with runners that have solid claims include

• Montmartre - Bigmartre (JLT)
• Shirocco - Mercy Mercy Me (Champion Bumper)
• Kalanisi - Kalashinov (Supreme Novices), Brain Power (Arkle Trophy)
• Getaway - Getabird (Supreme), Talkischeap (Albert Bartlett)
• Motivator - Stormy Ireland - (Mares Novices)
• Great Pretender - Benie Des Dieux (OLBG Mares Hurdle), Claimantakinforgan (Supreme)
• Spanish Moon - Laurina (Mares Novices)
• Black Sam Bellamy - Sam Spinner (Stayers)
• Dubai Destination - Next Destination (Ballymore Novices)

NB Leading sire Presenting has been making a huge impact as a broodmare sire. His daughters are represented by Presenting Percy in the RSA and Might Bite in the Gold Cup. 

Getaway is ahead of the game

Having won two of Germany's premier staying contests. Getaway was subsequently crowned champion German three-year-old. With five seasons of racing under his belt and two Group 1 victories he was retired to stud and immediately sent to Coolmore's main jumps base, Grange Stud outside Fermoy at a very reasonable fee of €3,000. Getaway provided jumps breeders with a suitable pedigree to match many Irish mares and so he was unsurprisingly well liked.

A son of Monsun, undoubtedly Germany's most acclaimed stallion having succeeded in acquiring European breeders attention as an outstanding sire of middle distance types. Getaway also had a strong staying credentials from his dam, the unraced Guernica, herself a half-sister to dual Ascot Gold cup winner Royal Rebel. She is also the dam of Italian Oaks winner and Group 1 producer Guadalupe, a sister to Getaway and dam of Guiliani. Further back in the family was champion filly Alexander Goldrun.

Getaway's first crop were five-year-olds in 2017 and since then he has sired a Grade 2 Novice hurdle winner in Getabird, who looks an outstanding candidate for the Supreme Novices at Cheltenham. He has over twenty six progeny rated over 100 by Timeform including Grade 3 placed hurdler Verdana Blue and recent handicap scorer Talkischeap. A host of impressive point to point winners have also boosted his sales prices including Downtown Getaway, a 12 length P2P winner and a subsequent 350,000 buy. Another high priced son was Gallaghers Cross, a six and a half length bumper winner and a 260,000 buy. 

With the jumps season in full swing and a host of bumper winners, novice hurdle winners and point to pointers to his name Getaway looks well on his way to establishing himself as a potentially top class jumps stallion. 

Coolmore beginning to reap Deep rewards with Impact

The past flat season has once again proved a very fruitful one for Coolmore. They currently own and bred both European champion two-year-olds Us Navy Flag, by War Front and Clemmie a daughter of their outstanding sire Galileo. With an abundance of mares from the same sirelines as other European stallions Coolmore are constantly looking for new international bloodlines, as was the case with American sire War Front they seem to have discovered another internationally based sire courtesy of Deep Impact having bred the second joint leading two-year-olds in Saxon Warrior and September. The former ended his juvenile campaign unbeaten in three races culminating in the Group 1 Racing Post Trophy while the latter was a Royal Ascot stakes winning  Group 1 placed juvenile. They are both the early products of Coolmore support to Japan's premier sire. Although raced exclusively in Japan, Deep Impact has a truly international pedigree. He is by dual American Classic winner Sunday Silence while his dam Wind In Her Hair is an Irish bred Oaks placed daughter of Alzao, who coincidentally had previously stood at Coolmore.

Since his retirement to stud in 2007, Deep Impact has been Japanese champion sire every year since he began to have runners. His consistency to produce high class Group 1 winning juvenile's and classic three-year-olds in every racing crop was enough to get the attention of international breeders and take note of his phenomenal success. Deep Impact's European appeal first came to prominence when in May 2012, Beauty Parlour, who was from only her sires second crop won the French 1000 Guineas. In the years that followed Kizuna and A Shin Hikari, both trained in Japan won the Group 2 Prix Neil and Group 1 Prix d'Ispahan respectively.

During this time Coolmore began to ponder on the potential rewards of sending some of their former high class mares to Deep Impact in the hope that the resultant progeny can become a force in the European racing ranks. Due to a high number of recently retired fillies bred on crosses synonyms with other leading sires in Europe, Deep Impact provided a very suitable alternative. In 2013, a year after Beauty Parlour's success in France champion juvenile Maybe and champion three-year-old Peeping Fawn would be shipped out to Japan. The following year produced a filly and a colt. The filly Pavlenko out of Maybe became stakes placed as a three-year-old while the colt out of Peeping Fawn named Wisconsin won his maiden at the second attempt. Both Maybe and Peeping Fawn stayed in Japan during 2014 re-visiting Deep Impact. It was the second liaison with the stallion that proved the successor with the aforementioned Saxon Warrior and September the products. Last year also saw the introduction of Conclusion who is out of Group 3 winning mare Cherokee, he ran twice as a juvenile and finished second on his recent start.

Having produced two leading juveniles from their early partnerships with Deep Impact, it has unsurprisingly prompted Coolmore to send more higher graded mares. It is reported that the outstanding dual classic winning pair of Minding and Winter, both by Galileo were recently shipped to Japan to be covered by Deep Impact, given the recent success and the fact that Kissed By Angel's, a Group 3 winning sister to Minding has a colt foal by Deep Impact, the news of Minding and Winter's first covering comes as no surprise to a bloodstock fan. Other outstandingly bred mares from the Coolmore band due to Deep impact in 2018 include Best In The World, a sister to Arc heroine Found and Fluff, a sister to Saxon Warrior's dam Maybe. It is with great certainty that in the immediate future there will be a number of sons of daughters of Deep Impact representing him across racecourses in Ireland, Britain and France.

Apple's making a forever impact as a broodmare

Apple's For Forever was no wonder as a racehorse, she won five races from twenty one career starts and was pulled up in stakes races over jumps in France, her record as a broodmare though is what has brought this seventeen year old mare by Nikos into the limelight. From her retirement to the paddocks in the autumn of 2007 to 2014 , she was sent exclusively to rising jumps stallion Saddler Maker, who sadly died in 2016. It was her fourth consecutive filly foal by the ill-fated sire that produced six time Grade 1 hurdler Apples Jade owned by Gigginstown House Stud and trained by Gordon Elliott. Her previous engagements with the sire yielded minor winners Apple's Maely, Madame Apple's and Le Sete For Forever, the exploits of their full sisters have since established them as premier broodmare prospects. The five-year-old Apple's Jade first exploded onto the scene when she ran out a forty one length winner of the four-year-old hurdle at Aintree following that up with success in the equivalent race at Punchestown. She has since added the Mares hurdle and Hattons Grace to her resume and looks set to defend her mares hurdle crown next March. Apple's For Forever did not produce a foal until 2014, that resultant produce was a full sister to Apple's Jade. Susequently named Apple's Shakira she was sent to Nicky Henderson in June of this year and won her british debut by seventeen lengths in the Grade 2 JCB Triumph Trial and at the time of writing is the current market leader for that race in March. The future looks very exciting for their dam, her latest offspring include Grisy Apple, a juvenile colt by Montmartre, Apple's Du Pont, a yearling brother to Apple's Jade and Apple's Shakira. Her latest is Apple's Pierro a weanling colt by Martaline. With two of her offspring clear favourites for their respective Grade one targets the 2018 Cheltenham Festival could yet prove a very fruitful one for Apple's For Forever.

Potential sires for Enable

Enable has firmly established herself as one of the best race-mares seen in recent years, her emphatic Arc win was enough to cement her up with the likes of previous stars such as Zarkava, who retired after her Arc victory unbeaten in eight starts. Enable's owner/breeders Juddmonte Farms announced shortly after that their star filly would stay in training for a four-year-old campaign with a repeat Arc victory firmly etched into their minds and a potential middle season clash with Australian wonder mare Winx before retiring to Juddmonte's already illustrious broodmare band. Being a daughter of Nathaniel, a grandson of Sadler's Wells and Concentric a daughter of Sadler's Wells thus creating 3Sx2D to Europe's breed-shaping stallion, sires such as Galileo and his sire sons would have to be ruled out. The following is a list of potential sires that would be suitable for Enable.

Dubawi

- Dubawi Millenium - Zomaradah (Deploy)

Dubawi must be etched within the minds of the people of Juddmonte as a potentially good first mate for Enable or even in later years. He's currently the third leading sire in Europe behind only Galileo and Nathaniel. Dubawi represents a lovely cross for Enable, through him a foal would be in bred 4Sx4D to Shirley Heights, 5Sx4Dx5D to Northern Dancer and 5Sx5D to Mill Reef, physically Dubawi also seems like he would be suitable. Dubawi's produce record with middle distance mares is also encouraging having produced Group 1 winner Zarak and Group winner So Mi Dar from top mares Zarkava and Dar Re Mi. Dubawi also mixes well with Galileo mares and it should be no different with his granddaughters. 

Kingman

- Invincible Spirit - Zenda (Zamindar)

It’s highly possible that Enable will be bred to a sire on Juddmonte's own roster and Kingman must be the number one candidate. A top class miler he would inject some speed and precocity which would be interesting on a middle distance mare. Like Dubawi, Kingman presents a nice cross for Enable with inbreeding not visible until the fifth generation with inbreeding to Northern Dancer 5Sx4Dx5D and Mill Reef 5Sx5D. Invincible Spirit/Galileo and vice versa has produced stakes horses so has proven to work although it is still relatively early days for the cross there is no reason to suggest the next generation on from these sires would not also click. 

Dansili

- Danehill - Hasili (Kahyasi)

Enable's pedigree allows her access to the Danzig sire line considering she is free of Danzig in her pedigree. Dansili looks a solid choice, he's proven himself an outstanding sire and a genuine replacement to Danehill in Europe. A foal by Dansili would be in bred Northern Dancer 5Sx4Dx5D, IIe de Bourbon 5Sx5D, Neartic 5Sx5D, Natalma 5Sx5Sx5D and Roberto 5Sx5D. Galileo crossed with Danehill needs little introduction having produced many stars most notably Frankel so it makes sense that this cross would be used in the future.

Dark Angel

-          Acclamation – Midnight Angel (Machiavellien)

This would be a fascinating but it is unlikely that Dark Angel will be chosen as Enable’s first mate however I certainly would not rule him out down the line. He’s been building a progressive profile among the European sires. Northern Dancer would appear once through the sire line in the fifth generation so Dark Angel presents almost a complete outcross. It has to be noted that his daughters seem to mix well with sons of Galileo with Havana Grey being a prime example being a great grandson of Galileo. There is every reason to believe the same success can be repeated with this cross. 

Sales Review 2017: Tattersalls Book 1

Tattersalls Book 1 has established itself as Europe's premier sale for quality yearlings. Over the years the sale has boasted some record prices and this year was no exception with a record seventeen seven figure yearlings. The star attraction at this years renewal was  the already named Gloam, a daughter of Galileo out of the dual Grade 1 winning Dansili mare Dank. Consigned by Norris Bloodstock she went the way of Godolphin after a lengthy battle with Coolmore for 4 million guineas. The filly boasted an extravagant page with her dam being a three parts sister to the top class Eagle Mountain and being a half sister to former champion juvenile Sulk. She was one of three Galileo's that finished within the top 10 of what was a phenomeal three days trading. The other two also fillies was a half sister to leading sprinter Garswood who was knocked down to Coolmore for 1,6 million. The same connections are reportedly also the part owners of the third seven figure Galileo, lot 281 a full sister to this years Irish derby and Leger winner Capri for 1,5 million. The docket was reportedly signed on behalf of the Zayat family who are known to be partners with Coolmore in America. 

The sale was also a resounding success for Dubawi who had eight yearlings sell for seven figures, the most for any sire at Book 1. His highest lot was Meon Valley studs colt out of dual Group 1 winner Izzi Top at 2.6 million guineas. Roger Varian signed the docket reportedly for the same connections as Dubawi's star middle distance colt Postponed who joins his sire on Darley's roster for 2018. Juddmonte Farms Kingman also had a fruitful sale with his first yearlings having been warmly received at Arqana and Goffs. He was the only freshman sire to post a seven figure yearling on the board with a filly from the acclaimed Ballymacoll stud selling to Moyglare stud for 1,7 million guineas. Kingman's stud companion Frankel who has made a solid start to his second career was also in demand with a half sister to Oaks heroine Talent fetching 2,5 million guineas and a half sister to Grade 1 winner Sarah Lynx fetching 1,4 million. Leading sire Invincible Spirit was also in the limelight with a filly out of star producer Cassandra Go selling to Coolmore for 1,6 million. This filly was always destined to attract a big price as she is a half sister to the high class pair of Halfway To Heaven and Theann. Even more encouraging is both these mares have produced Group/Grade 1 winners in Rhodedendron and Photo Call, both being by Galileo, this filly looks destined for a meeting with the perennial champion sire once her racing career is over. Coolmore also swooped for the Dubawi colt out of Sky Lantern. The first produce from the mare who needs little introduction having won the Moyglare stud stakes and 1000 guineas. This colt would be a welcome addition to Coolmore's roster once he can establish himself as a potential sire on the racecourse. Another Dubawi that undoubtedly was on many minds was the Dubawi out of Arc and King George heroine Danedream. Consigned by Newsells Park and billed as a potential star he was knocked down to Shadwell for a cool 1,6 million.  One of the feel good stories at Book 1 was undoubtedly Yeomanstown stud's homebred filly by Kodiac selling for 925,000 to Coolmore, her dam Queenofthefairies was previously bought for just 32,000, she proved a very shrewd purchase producing the Group winning Now Or Never.  

This success from this years Book 1 sale will undoubtedly be remebered for years to come. The aggregate was an impressive 102,290,000 up from 88,398,000 the previous year. The median and average also jumped significantly to 293,095 and 165,000. 

Potential sires for Minding

The 5.50pm fillies maiden at Leopardstown on Thursday centred around one filly, Conquest a juvenile filly by Galileo. Though any progeny of Galileo attract attention on debut, Conquest was one of the more publicised debutants. This is mainly due to the fact that she is a full sister to the brilliant seven time Group 1 heroine Minding whose retirement was announced by Coolmore earlier that day. Conquest eventually finished fifth.

Minding had established herself as probably one of the best European race mares in recent years. A glittering two-year-old campaign yielded wins in the Moyglare and Fillies mile. She returned the following season as a stronger type and got her classic campaign off to another successful start winning the 1000 guineas at the same venue where she won the Fillies mile. After a shock short head defeat in the Irish equivalent she lined up weeks later at Epsom as the heavily backed favourite for the oaks. There were doubts about whether she would see the trip, although her sire needs no introduction as an influence of stamina, her dam Lillie Langtry was quite effective at a mile winning the coronation stakes and matron stakes. Stamina doubts were quickly put to bed when Minding cruised home under Ryan Moore, it was a hard fought victory with the filly losing her position and been whipped in the face yet she still showed courage and tenacity to win. She finished her three-year- old season out with two classics and wins in the Nassua stakes, Pretty Polly stakes and beating leading miler Ribchester in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes on British Champions day, it proved her final start in group 1 company. She returned in her four-year-old campaign easily seeing off her rivals in the Group 2 Mooresbridge stakes, it was a victory that suggested Minding would undoubtedly have added to her group 1 haul. Unfortunatly she suffered a setback and although connections were optimistic she would return in the Autumn, time sadly ran against her.

Now Minding begins her next phase from champion race-mare to broodmare. In the ideal world Minding would produce many Group 1 winners and champions, however breeding over the years has shown this is often not the case. However that is not to say Minding will not be a success as a broodmare, her own dam was a dual Group 1 winner, though not in the same league as her illustrious daughter, Lillie Langtry has been a very good investment for Coolmore, her first foal Kissed By Angels a sister to Minding was a Group 3 winner who produced her first foal this year, a colt by Japanese sire sensation Deep Impact. The question on many enthusiasts minds now is which sire will get the illustrious honor of being her first cover. Minding is by Galileo out of a Danehill Dancer mare so many of Coolmore's current sires seem to be out of bounds, so she may be likely be covered overseas.
The following is a list of sires whom I believe would be very highly likely candidates

1. War Front (Danzig - Starry Dreamer by Rubiano) USA
War Front must be the obvious choice for Minding, Coolmore have not been shy about supporting him as he made a blistering start to his career going from a $10,000 sire to $150,000. A foal by War Front out of Minding would be inbred 2x5 to Danzig sire of Coolmore's former champion dual shuttler Danehill. War Front also seems to have clicked with daughters of Galileo, the two standouts from the earliest mating's of War Front/Galileo being full siblings Roly Poly and US Navy Flag, both out of triple Group 1 winner Misty For Me who have won or placed at Group and Group 1 level at two and three. Since War Front first came to prominence in 2013 Coolmore have sent a substantial amount of their best Galileo mares to him, with the first major batch currently two-year-olds and yearlings. The next three years will give a better indication on whether the War Front/Galileo cross will be a success or flop but the earliest indications are very encouraging.

2. Fastnet Rock (Danehill - Piccadilly Circus by Royal Academy) IRE
If Minding is to be covered in Ireland than Fastnet Rock has to be very high on the list. He has established himself a multiple champion in Australia where his best progeny have been Atlantic Jewel among others. Since he first shuttled to Ireland he has since added a further four Group/Grade 1 winners to his already impressive tally of Group 1 winners. Hes proved he can sire two-year-olds, classic winners and older horses with Intricately and Rivet providing him with two individual juvenile Group 1 winners last season and Qualify winning the Epsom Oaks and Zhukova winning the Grade 1 Man O'War. Even more encouraging is these Group 1 winners are all out of daughters of Galileo thus making the Fastnet Rock/Galileo nick the most successful in terms of Group 1 winners. A foal by Fastnet Rock would be in bred 2x3 to Danehill and 3x4 to his sire Danzig.

3. Deep Impact (Sunday Silance - Wind In Her Hair by Alzao) JPN
This cross certainly sounds fascinating and it is also a good outcross with Northern Dancer not appearing in a few generations. Coolmore have already experimented with the cross with Kissed By Angels producing her first foal this year. The cross is not extensively used but it has produced Japanese Group 2 winner Vanquished Run Coolmore's first experiment with Deep Impact resulted in the placed Pavlenko, a daughter of champion juvenile Maybe she also has a two-year-old named Saxon Warrior. The reason Deep Impact is mentioned is that Coolmore have pledged to further support him as he represents a good cross for many of their mares plus they also having a very exciting juvenile daughter in September, out of their champion filly Peeping Fawn who is now unbeaten in two races, thus prompting the operation to bring new bloodlines.

4. Dubawi (Dubai Millenium - Zomaradah by Deploy) GB
Personally for me Dubawi would be the number one European candidate for Minding, he represents a lovely outcross and is the second best sire in Europe behind only Galileo. It is well-known that relations between Coolmore and Darley have been on the rocks with both operations rarely supporting each others sires however Coolmore have bought a select few Dubawi's at public auction and likewise for Darley. Dubawi has also clicked with daughters of Galileo in the past with the best being Night Of Thunder who won probably the best renewal of the 2000 guineas in the last four decades. Another representative of the cross has been Dartmouth a multiple Group winner. Due to the phenomenal rise of Dubawi he has covered some outstanding quality books of mares and he will sure further enchance his reputation.

5. Caravaggio (Scat Daddy - Mekko Hokte by Holy Bull)
Caravaggio has yet to retire to the stallion ranks but he looks a very exciting stallion prospect. Although it is not usually Coolmore's policy to send a high class mare such as Minding to a first year sire, Caravaggio would certainly be deserving of such an illustrious mare. As of writing he is unbeaten in six starts, two of them at Group 1 level and he is certainly earning a reputation as being one of the best European sprinters in recent history. He would be a lovely outcross for Minding being by the ill-fated sire sensation Scat Daddy with Nortnern Dancer appearing once in his pedigree back in the fifth generation. A resultant foal would be 5x4x6 to the breed shaping sire. Presumably Caravaggio will retire to Coolmore's Irish base so that he can accomade the many mares that would visit him. At the time of writing he is bidding to extend his unbeaten run to seven in the Group 1 july Cup tomorrow. After his impressive victory in the Commonwealth cup at Royal Ascot, Coolmore supremo John Magnier stated that Caravaggio could not have come at a btter time to facilitate that many mares who are from the Danhill/Sadlers Wells line.

Coolmore: the race to find the heir to Galileo

Coolmore needs little introduction having stood Britain and Ireland's most successful sires for the last twenty consecutive years. Sadler's Wells and Danehill both proved to be a collossus. Both have come and gone and with their passing have left a huge legacy at Coolmore, not just for the number of sire championships won between them but the sire talent they handed down. Danehill has provided multiple Australian champion Fastnet Rock as well as leading juvenile sire Danehill Dancer and former world champion Rock Of Gibraltar. Sadlers Wells supplied Coolmore with Montjeu, sire of four epsom derby winners and Galileo, a multiple champion sire since his first classic crop debuted in the spring of 2006.

Each of these stallion sons have performed admirably but perhaps none more so than Galileo. A stallion blessed with raw talent on and off the racecourse, his dam is the outstanding matriarch Urban Sea. Galileo has been champion sire in consecutive years since 2010, his only blop when just losing out to stud companion Danehill Dancer in 2009.

This year marked Galileo's nineteenth birthday and he bids to again become champion having supplied last years European champion two year old colt and filly in Churchill and Rhodedendron. He also became the first stallion to ever sire the first three home in the Arc de triomphe. There is an endless supply of other smart Galileo's at Ballydoyle including champion Minding.

The cycle repeats for Coolmore to find the heir apparent to Galileo. The farm has an intriguing roster for 2017 which includes five stallion sons of Galileo. Dual derby winner Australia, a son of champion mare Ouija Board, Ruler Of The World also a winner at epsom and a half brother to Duke Of Marmalade, Gleneagles, a champion miler and brother to a classic winner and new recruit The Gurkha, runaway winner of the French 2000 guineas and Magician, who stands at Ashford in Kentucky.

Galileo has proved himself a creditable sire of sires with Teofilo and New Approach both going on to sire classic winners however they both stand at Darley. Juddmonte farms homebred sire Frankel, the best horse sired by Galileo also made a promising start to his stud career having supplied a host of stakes winners. Coolmore have yet to house a sire son of Galileo with the accomplisments of the aforementioned. One of their first sire sons was Rip Van Winkle, himself a top colt over ten furlongs managed to sire one Group 1 winner among his first juvenile crop. He was expected to build highly after his sophomore year but unfortunately he slipped from breeders interest and remained in New Zealand this year.

Although Fastnet Rock has been the heir apparent to Danehill in Australia, champion sire sons of Danehill have diminished in the Northern Hemisphere. Rock Of Gibraltar has proved a consistant and durable sire but he has never had ammunition to challenge the better sires. HolyRomanEmperor, who was a replacemnt to the subfertile George Washington has too been consistant but again has never challenged. This perhaps prompted Coolmore to bring Fastnet Rock to the Northern Hemisphere in the hopes of repeating the same feat with his sire previously. Fastnet Rock has performed admirably siring classic winner Qualify as well as Rivet, one of Europes leading juveniles.

Unfortunately success can often come with downfalls and Coolmore were undoubtedly highly unlucky when they lost Montjeu, he proved a reliable source of classy two year olds that perform as three year olds. He surely had the capability to sire a few more derby winners had he not contracted septicaemia. His legacy was left to be passed down through Hurricane Run and Pour Moi, both derby winners however neither sired any high class horses. The year Montjeu died, his son Camelot came on the scene. An unbeaten winner of the racing post trophy. He proved to be an outstanding horse winning the guineas and both derbies and so narrowly missing out on triple crown glory. A big year awits Camelot as his first two year olds begin to appear. In the years since his death Montjeu has turned the table in regards to his ability to sire a stallion son. He has made a huge impact over jumps with his sire sons producing the likes of Douvan, this prompted Coolmore to switch Pour Moi to jumps after the sudden loss of Fame And Glory, yet another son of Montjeu. One also has to wonder how George Washington would have fared had he not sadly broken down mid race having proved to be in fertile in his first year at stud. He did however produce one live foal, a filly subsequently named Date With Destiny, she was stakes placed at two which makes one wonder had George Washington produced a number of live foals, would he have been a successful heir to Danehill.

Over the years Coolmore have began tapping into new blood with No Nay Never, a son of Scat Daddy who was fast becoming a sensation for Coolmore before he untimely passed away from a heart attack. Green Desert lined sires Ivawood and Most Improved both  represent that fast early speed which has been demanded by sales markets in recent years. Coolmore also heavily supported War Front, a paternal half brother to Danehill. This has brought about the likes of Declaration Of War and War Command who stand in America and Ireland respectively. American based sire Uncle Mo has been a revelation for the operation supplying derby winner Nyquist among his first crop which included a number of first crop stakes winners. While High Chaparral who sadly passed in 2014 from colic has supplied So You Think whose recent success in his native Australia has prompted a rise in his stud fee for 2017. With much talent still to come the future does look to be in safe hands.

Zarkava set for a date with stars

Unbeaten Arc winner Zarkava is scheduled for a repeat visit to Gilltown Stud resident Sea The Stars this season after she delivers to Siyouni. The seven time winning daughter of Zamindar has already produced the Group winning and classic placed Zarak from a mating with Darley colossus Dubawi. Zarkava's first mating with Sea The Stars produced the ill-fated Zarkash, who suffered a fatal injury while training at Alain Royer Dupre's base in France. She has an unnamed two-year-old filly by Frankel and a yearling colt by Invincible Spirit.

Broodmare Career: Ventura

Ventura was also a minor winner on the race course, however she has certainly cemented herself as a considerable broodmare to note. A daughter of Spectrum, she is out of the Group/Grade 3 winner Wedding Bouquet. The second dam is Doff The Derby, thus making this mare a close relatation to some high class horses including dual Derby winner Generous and Oaks heroine and Group 1 producer Imagine. Ventura was bought by Coolmore at the 2011 Tattersalls December Mare Sale for 900,000gns.

The following is the full list of current progeny out of Ventura.

2014 Unnamed B.C by Galileo

Broodmare Career: Ezima

Ezima proved herself a top filly from a mile to a mile six furlongs. By Sadler's Wells, she was bred to be a stout stayer. Ezima was not a prolific racemare but she was a triple listed winner and Group 3 placed. Trained by Jim Bolger she won the Savel Beg Stakes, Trigo stakes & the Rathbarry Finale stakes, all at listed level. Ezima is out of the unraced Ezilla. She is a full sister to Ebaziya, a listed winner and later the dam of Ascot gold cup winners Enzeli & Estimate and Irish and French Oaks winner Ebadiyla, she in turn is the grand dam of Grade 1 hurdler Ebaziyan. Another close relation is Edabiya, winner of the Group 1 Moyglare stud stakes. Ezima was sold to her current owners Shadwell for 320,000gns at the 2008 Tattersalls December Mare Sale.

The following is the current list of progeny produced by Ezima since her retirement to stud

2010 Unnamed B.C by Tamayuz

2011 TAGHROODA  B.F by Sea The Stars
Taghrooda became her dams flag-bearer. An unbeaten 2yo, she came back as a 3yo winning her debut in the listed pretty polly stakes by 6 lengths. She then went to epsom for the Oaks winning by 3 lengths before going on to win the King George by 3 lengths. She ran good races in defeat when   running a fine second to Tapestry in the yorkshire oaks and third in the Arc. She has now been retired and will be covered by leading miler Kingman.

2012 MAKTABA B.F by Dansili
This filly is currently unraced.

2013 TAQAAREED  B.F by Sea The Stars

2014 HALAALHY BR.F by Raven's Pass

Broodmare Career: Imagine

Imagine proved herself a top class racemare. She was champion 3yo filly in Ireland in 2001 having taken the Irish 1000 guineas, she later followed that up with a decisive win in the Epsom Oaks.

Her pedigree was also very appealing. She is a daughter of the champion Sadler's Wells out of the top producer Doff The Derby. Imagine wasn't her only Classic winner as she is also the dam of dual Derby winner Generous, he failed to make an impact at stud. Imagine is also a sister to the stakes winning Strawberry Roan. 

The following is the list of progeny produced by Imagine

2003 HORATIO NELSON B.C by Danehill

Horatio Nelson proved to be his dams best runner. He was an outstanding two-year-old winning the Group 1 Prix Jean Luc Lagadere. He lost his unbeaten 2yo run to Derby winner Sir Percy in the Dewhurst by an agonising 1/4 of a length. He was never the same colt and sadly broke down and was later euthanised in the Derby. 

2004 RED ROCK CANYON B.C by Rocj Of Gibraltar 

Red Rock Canyon wasn't as illustrious as his 1/2 brother but he proved to be a very solid Group runner with placings in the Tattersalls Gold Cup & Irish Champion Stakes. 

2005 KITTY MATCHAM B.F by Rock Of Gibraltar 

A full sister to Red Rock Canyon, this filly too proved to be a very solid performer. She was a winner of the Group 2 Rockfel stakes as a 2yo. 

2007 VISCOUNT NELSON B.C by Giants Causeway 

Viscount Nelson proved to be a useful 2yo winning the listed Coolmore Hurricane Run stakes. He was also second to Poets Voice in the Group 2 Champagne stakes. He later became a dual Group 2 winner in Dubai. 

2008 GUESSING B.F by Kingmambo

Guessing proved dissapointing finishing unplaced in two starts. She is now a broodmare.

Point Piper won a three year old maiden for Coolmore and subsequently finished second in a handicap at Naas. Subsequently sold to America he recently ran in a claiming race where he was unplaced.

This filly won a maiden at Dundalk last October. 

2012 ASSAGHER B.C by Giants Causeway

2013 Unnamed B.C by War Front 

2014  Unnamed B.F by War Front 

Broodmare Career: Alexandrova

Alexandrove certainly raised the bar in the summer of 2006. The impeccable bred daughter of Sadler's Wells proved an unstoppable force from 10-12F. 

Alexandrova started her career in the Listed Balanchine stakes. Also in the field was Group 1 placed pair Ugo Fire & Ardbrea Lady, She finished 6th. Alexandrova got off the mark in a maiden at Tralee before finding all but Nannina too good in the Group 1 Fillies mile on just her fourth start. 

She made her classic season campaign in the Group 3 Musidora, she was beaten by the talented Short Skirt. Alexandrova then contested the Group 1 Epsom Oaks where she had the second horse six lengths behind her. She then followed up in the Irish oaks over a month later and completed the treble in the Yorkshire Oaks. She had cemented herself as a truly outstanding mare and a hugely exciting broodmare prospect for Coolmore. 

As well a having three Group 1's to her name, Alexandrova also had the pedigree. She was a 3/4 sister to Group 1 2yo Magical Romance, who later sold for a world record 4.600,000gns at the Tattersalls December Mare sale in 2006. 

Alexandrova was also a full sister to Masterofthehorse, who was third in the Derby. The family recieved a page boost in 2013 when close relative Chiquitta won the Irish Oaks. 

The following is the full current list of progeny produced by Alexandrova 

2009 DROPS B.F by Kingmambo

Drops failed to make an impact on the racecourse, having four starts she placed once. Drops was sold in foal to Frankel for 750,000gns to Stillfield Bloodstock at the 2013 Tattersalls December Mare sale. 

2010 BELLA QATARA B. F by Dansili

Bella Qatara was also lightly raced. She was a maiden winner in France for Sheikh Mohammed Bin Khalifa Al Thani and was trained by Alain Royer-

Dupre.

2011 ALEX MY BOY B.C by Dalakhani 

This colt is by far his dams best runner. He won his 2yo maiden at Musselborough. He was also listed placed and looked a lively contender for the St Leger before dissapointing, eventually finishing eighth. 

2012 FONTEYN B.F by Oasis Dream 

This filly tragically died as a 2yo. She was in training with Aidan O'Brien. 

2013 Unnamed B.F by Fastnet Rock

2014 It was reported that Alexandrova was sent to America and was subsequently covered by leading sire War Front. As I am aware she is still owned by the Coolmore partners 

Value Freshman sires to follow for 2015

 Roderic O'Connor

This good looking son of Galileo certainly has the potential to go very far with his first two-year-olds. He is bred on the same Galileo/Danhill cross as Group 1 sire Teofilo. Roderic O'Connor proved a consistent two-year-old winning two of his four starts and placing twice. His wins included the Group 1 Gran Criterium before coming a good second in the Group 1 Dewhurst beaten only by the mighty Frankel. He came back to form in winning the Irish 2000 guineas. Roderic O'Connor win three of his nine starts at two and three. Roderic O'Connor is a full brother to two-year-old stakes winner Dazzling, while his third dam Durtal was a European champion 2yo. His first yearlings proved popular with many fetching six figures including a colt at Keeneland who sold for $185,000. The statistics bode well for Roderic O'Connor with his paternal half brothers Teofilo, New Approach & Rip Van Winkle all siring Group 1 winners among their first crop. Those sires like Roderic O'Connor were also Group/Group 1 winners as two-year-olds. 

Lilbourne Lad

This son of Acclamation was unlucky not to win a Group 1 as a two year old. Both of his stakes wins came in Ireland. He was also second in the Middle Park stakes. Lilbourne Lad was a very tough and consistent juvenile. In eight of his career starts he either won or placed. He won three races including two at stakes level. His dam Sogno Verde is a half sister to Irish Leger placed Pugin. They are out of Gothic Dream herself placed in the Irish Oaks. The third dam Dark Lonond was a champion stayer in Ireland winning the Irish Leger. Being a son of sire of sires in Acclamation, Lilbourne Lad has a good chance of becoming a leading two-year-old sire. 

Wooten Bassett

This son of leading sire Iffraaj was an unbeaten two year old. He became champion two year old in France with a win in the Group 1 Priz Jean Luc Lagardere. He has very good credentials to be a leading freshman sire. Iffraaj is a half brother to the dam of the leading two year old filly Katla. This is also from the family of leading stayer Silver Patriarch. 

Zoffany

A son of the all conquering Dansili, Zoffany certainly has the credentials to become a leading freshman sire. He won five of his seven two year old starts including the Group 1 Pheonix stakes and the Group 3 Tyros stakes. Zoffany proved to be a top three year old, placing in both the Prix Jean Prat and St James Palace stakes, where he just failed to catch Frankel by 3/4 of a length. Zoffany is a 1/2 brother to Group 3 winning two year old Wilshire Boulevard. This is also the family of Ernest Hemingway. Dansili has yet to be seriously tested as a sire of sires. But signs are encouraging with one of his first sire sons Harbinger siring a Group 3 winner among his first crop in Japan. 

Frozen Power

This son of emerging sire of sires Oasis Dream also has good credentials to be a leading freshman. He himself was a good two year old winning three of his six starts including at listed level. Frozen power also won the Group 2 German 2000 guineas as a three year old. He is a 1/2 brother to champion 2yo filly Finsceal Beo. 

Dick Turpin

I have always been a fan of this horse and he deserves to be on this list. Not only does he represent good value like the above mentioned but he also proved a top racehorse. Dick Turpin won the Group 2 Richmond as a 2yo. He trained on at three to win the Group 1 Prix Jean Prat. He also placed in the French 2000 guineas and St James Palace. While as a 4yo he became champion older horse in Italy winning the Premio Vitterio Capua Milan.
