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.

First Season Sires to Stud in 2014

Every year sees a flurry of Group one winners retired to stud. Next year however seems an exciting year as an interesting batch of champions try to prove themselves as super sires. The following are some of the Group one winners set to retire to stud in Europe for 2014.

Al Kazeem (GB)

• 08 B.C by Dubawi x Kazeem (Darshaan)
• To Stud: The Royal Studs, UK
• Fee £18,000

A triple Group 1 winner Al Kazeem proved himself one of Europe's best older horses by winning three of Europe's prestigious Group 1 races at 10F. He is an exciting recruit to the British stallion ranks. He is one of only a handful of sons of his sire at stud. His paternal half brother Makfi has enjoyed tremendous support from breeders and buyers. Al Kazeem is sure to be well liked by breeders, as he is quite the looker. He is out of minor winner Kazeem, an own sister to Grade 2 winner Treasurer.  The 2nd dam Kanz was placed in the Yorkshire Oaks. Kanz is a half sister to Diomedia and Media Stargate both Grade stakes winners. This is from the immediate family of champion Italian colt Glint Of Gold and Catella a Group 1 winner in Germany. This is also from the family of Armiger winner of the RP Trophy and also placed 2nd in both the St Leger and Prix Lupin. Mares by Sadler's Wells & Danehill and their sire sons look obvious choices. Sire Sons by Danzig and Mr Prospector are also appealing. 

 Camelot  (GB)

• 09 B.C by Montjeu x Tarfah (Kingmambo) 
• To Stud: Coolmore, Ireland
• Fee: E25,000 

This unbeaten 2yo and triple classic winner is a very exciting addition to Coolmore. He will join his paternal half brother Pour Moi at Coolmore. Camelot is an interesting sire prospect by Montjeu. After a few disappointing years with his stallion sons, Montjeu now seems to be working as a sire of sires. Motivator & Authorized, his first sire sons are now starting to shine at stud. Motivator siring unbeaten Arc winner Treve. She is one of two Group 1 winners for her sire. Meanwhile Authorized has recently got his 3rd individual Group 1 winner courtesy of Seal Of Approval in the British Champion Mare stakes. Camelot for me looks to be Montjeu's most exciting new stallion prospect. He looks a sire made for mares by such sire lines  as Danehill, Darshaan, Gone West, Rainbow Quest etc. I can also see a lot of mares from the Sadler's Wells line added to his first book creating a lot of 3x3 inbreeding to the great sire.

 Dawn Approach (IRE)

• 10 CH.C by New Approach x Hymn Of The Dawn (Phone Trick)
• To Stud: Kildangan Stud, Ireland
• Fee: E35,000

Dawn Approach was beautifully handled by his owner/breeder & trainer Jim Bolger. He was an unbeaten dual Group 1 winning two-year-old. He emulated his sire New Approach by becoming European champion two-year-old of his year. Dawn Approach added two more Group 1's to his record as a three-year-old at a mile. His last win proved to be the St James Palace stakes at Ascot in June. Dawn Approach is the first colt to represent his sire at stud. Dawn Approach is out Hymn Of The Dawn also trained by Bolger. She was unsuccessful in 6 starts. Dawn Approach's female family doesn't represent high class horses. He is the only Group 1 winner to come from the the family since Miss Oceana a sister to his 3rd dam. Dawn Approach is inbred 5x5 to Neartic the sire of the great Northern Dancer. Northern Dancer line looks an obvious mating choice for him. One sire line that looks intriguing is breeding from Green Desert who has had success with his sires family.

Declaration Of War (USA)

• 09 B.C by War Front x Tempo West (Rahy)
• To Stud: Coolmore, Ireland
• Fee: E40,000

A dual Group 1 winner Declaration Of War proved himself a top class older miler and middle distance horse. Declaration Of War is the first stallion of his sire War Front to stand in Europe. With his sire creating waves in America, it is certain Declaration Of War will be well supported. He is out of minor winnner Tempo West. Declaration Of War is a half brother to Listed winner Vertiformer while his full brother War Pact was stakes placed in France. Tempo West is a half sister to dual Grade 1 winner Union Rags, whose wins included the Belmont stakes. Mares from such sires lines as Sadler's Wells, Storm Cat & Danehill look intriguing 

Farhh (GB)

• 08 B.C by Pivotal x Gonbarda  (Lando)
• To Stud: Dalham Hall Stud, UK
• Fee: £17,500

Farhh retires to stud as a dual Group 1 winner. Both his Group 1 wins coming as a five-year-old. The older this horse got the better he became. Sire sons of Pivotal have done fairly well at stud. Kyllachy, Captain Rio and Falco to name a few. Farhh is out of dual German Group 1 winner Gonbarda & is from the family of top class older horse Fame And Glory. His dam is a half sister to  SWnrs  Gonfilla & Gonlargo. Gonbarda's  full brother Gorlor was a Listed winner & Group 3 placed. The strong German line means that mares by champion German sires such as Monsun, Lomitas have to be highly considered as potential mates for Farhh. 

Havana Gold (IRE)

• B.C by Teofilo x Jessica's Dream (Desert Style)
• To Stud: Tweenhills Farm, UK
• Fee: £8,500

Havana Gold was a consistent horse. His highest success coming in the Group 1 Prix Jean Prat. He is the first horse to represent his sire Teofilo at stud. He is one of five Group 1 winners for his sire. Havana Gold is from a decent family. His dam Jessica's Dream was a Group 3 winner and multiple Group placed. She is a half sister to Major's Cast who was 2nd in the Group 1 Lockinge Stakes and 3rd in the Group 1 Prix Du Moulin. This is from the family of Grade 1 Hollywood Derby winner Ultimate Eagle. Being a grandson of Galileo, he is open to other sire lines from Sadler's Wells, Danehill, Rainbow Quest, Indian Ridge etc look interesting choices. 

Intello (GER)

• 10 B.C by Galileo x Impressionist (Danehill)
• To Stud: Cheveley Park Stud ,UK (2014-15), Haras Du Quesney, France (2016-17)
• Fee: £25,000

Intello is a very admirable racehorse. In all his nine starts he won six of them and was placed 3rd in all his other races including in the Arc De Triopmhe and Prix Jacques Les Marois. Intello is bred on the sensational Galileo/Danehill line. He comes with a nice stallions pedigree. His dam Impressionist was a Group winner in France. His 2nd dam Occupandiste was champion older mare in France. Intello comes from the female family of Elnadim. His 5th dam was Fall Aspen a high class mare,she became a phenomenal broodmare. This family line is also what produced Dubai Millennium. Intello's breeding is so inundated in Europe that a lot of his progeny will be inbred. I can see a lot of inbreeding to Sadlers Wells and Danehill. Leading young sire Teofilo bred on the same cross produced Group 1 winner Parish Hall from a mare by Montjeu. Although I'm personally not a fan of too near inbreeding it will no doubt be interesting to see what he can produce.  

Lethal Force (IRE)

• 09 GR.C by Dark Angel x Land Army (Desert Style)
• To Stud: Cheveley Park Stud, UK
• Fee: £12,500

Lethal Force proved himself Europe's best sprinter winning twice at the highest level. His exploits have really put his sire Dark Angel on the map. Lethal Force is an interesting stallion prospect. His dam Land Army is a half sister to SWnr Flanders, better known as the grand dam of dual Group 1 winner Flotilla. Lethal Force's pedigree is lacking star quality and there is no top class Group 1 horses in his dam line for some generations. However he is a very interesting future prospect for stud. Northern Dancer line mares look to be the perfect match for him. 

Most Improved (IRE)

• 09 B.C by Lawman x Tonnara (Linamix)
• To Stud: Castlehyde Stud (Coolmore), Ireland
• Fee: E6,000

Most Improved's only Group 1 success came in the St James Palace Stakes. He was also placed in the Dewhurst stakes a two-year-old. He was bought by the Coolmore partners at the end of his three-year-old campaign. Most Improved disappointed slightly as a four-year-old coming last in a Group 3 contest at Tipperary on his penultimate start. He is the second foal out of Tonnara a daughter of champion broodmare sire Linamix. Most Improved's pedigree received another mighty boost when his half brother Ectot, by Hurricane Run won the Criterium International recently. Tonnara is now the dam of two individual Group 1 winners. Tonnara's 2013 foal is a filly by Invincible Spirit. Interestingly this sire is the grand sire of her Group 1 winning half brother Most Improved. He is a good outcross for Sadler's Wells & Rainbow Quest mares  who have worked very well with his own sire Lawman and grand sire Invincible Spirit.

Reckless Abandon (USA)

• 10 B.C by Exchange Rate x Sant Elena (Efisio)
• To Stud: Kildangan Stud, Ireland
• Fee: E10,000

Reckless Abandon was an unbeaten champion two-year-old. He was a dual Group 1 winner. Reckless Abandon could not frank his form he had shown as a two-year-old and disappointed me slightly as a three-year-old. His best performance at three was a 3rd place behind Kingsgate Native in the Group 2 Temple stakes. His dam Sant Elena is a half sister to dual Grade 1 winner Ticker Tape. His 3rd dam Wiener Wald bred RP Trophy winner Crowded House. Wiener Wald's other progeny included Stakes performers On Reflection, Forest Crown & Riotous Applause. Having only shown his best form as a two-year-old I can't see Reckless Abandon making huge head way as a sire. However I would count him as a candidate for Freshman sire honors. Green Desert line notable for producing sprinters sounds an interesting choice. 

Saint Nicholas Abbey (IRE)

• 07 B.C by Montjeu x Leaping Water (Sure Blade)
• To Stud: Coolmore, Ireland

All going well for Saint Nicholas Abbey he will hopefully be joining his paternal half brother Camelot at Coolmore. Saint Nicholas Abbey was a top class race horse and is the highest earning European horse in history. He is also the only horse to win the Coronation Cup a remarkable three times. Saint Nicholas Abbey has a good pedigree to back him up. He is a half brother to Graded winner Grammarian. His 2nd dam is Flamenco Wave is the dam of three individual Group 1 winners including Ballingarry, Starborough and Aristotle. Although none of them could make any impact at stud I have belief that Saint Nicholas Abbey could. Mares by Danehill, Darshaan etc sound appealing 

Sea The Stars & Frankel debate who is the greatest??

This debate has been ongoing ever since both champions had established their greatness on the track. They won 16 Group 1 races between them. Both were victorious in the Group one 2000 Guineas & Juddmonte International. 

Many will personally agree with me that Sea The Stars race record is that bit stronger then Frankel's. Sea The Stars was tried from 8F to 12F and always seemed to be a better horse the further he went. He proved his absolute brilliance when running out a most impressive winner of Europe's top race The Prix De L'Arc De Triomphe. The race went terribly wrong for him from the start off. However with a brilliant jockey guiding him in Mick Kinane & his natural ability he exploded from the pack with less then 2F to run to beat a high quality field. 

Frankel was equally as brilliant. He was a most astonishing winner of the Group 1 Queen Anne stakes. Unlike Sea The Stars Frankel ran as a four-year-old. It was as an older horse that the public really got to see what he was capable of. For many racing fans it was a disappointment that Frankel wasn't stepped up in trip earlier in his career. (His last two runs were both at 10F). It was also a blow that Frankel never ran outside Britain. 

Sea The Stars was trained in Ireland by John Oxx while Frankel was trained in Britain by the late Sir Henry Cecil. Sea The Stars only raced once in his homeland as a three-year-old and also in France. He ran four times in Britain and all his runs were at the highest level. All of Frankel's 14 races were in Britain. Sea The Stars & Frankel are also closely related. Sea The Stars has one of the most sought after stallions pedigree in the world. He is a half brother to stallion sensation Galileo, who is the sire of non other then Frankel. Strictly speaking Sea The Stars could be called Frankel's uncle.  

When you ask people who is the greatest they go by the horses performance, the number of Group 1 winners they beat in their career etc. The votes have always been fairly close. The public appreciate both horses. The answer in my opinion can not be answered. It is impossible to know who was the better horse. Sea The Stars was majestic and only ever done enough in his races. Frankel on the other hand would destroy his rivals. But in my opinion although he beat some very high class horses they weren't of the ability of Sea The Stars. 

Their records prove  they were different horses. Sea The Stars was incredible over a mile while Frankel was breathtaking at a mile. It is hard to know who would come out on top if both had met. Many believe under a mile it would be Frankel and over a mile would be Sea The Stars. 

I honestly cannot say who would win. Sea The Stars won the guineas at a mile. Although he wasn't as visually stunning as Frankel because he only done enough to get his head in front. John Oxx always described him as "a horse who only ever done enough" while Frankel seemed to have a more competitive streak. The answer to who the greatest horse ever was simply cannot be identified. Simply because both were truly high class horses who never ran against each other. We don't know how they would fare against past greats such as Dancing Brave, Shergar, Nijinsky etc. I think people should remember the great days these two stars gave us on the track and appreciate the difference between them. But also how they captured the publics hearts with their stunning performances. 

Sires with First Crop Foals selling in 2013

(1).Canford Cliffs (IRE)
Canford Cliffs retired to Coolmore with 5 Group 1 wins to his name. He won 3 consecutive races at Royal Ascot at 2,3 and 4 years including the Group 2 Coventry Stakes, Group 1 St James Palace Stakes and Group 1 Queen Anne stakes where he beat high class mare Goldikova. Canford Cliffs race record secured him a place at stud as he has no particular breeding. Canford Cliffs is a son of Tagula, himself a son of Taufann this sire line is completely free of Northern Dancer blood. Canford Cliffs remains Tagula's only Group 1 winner to date. Canford Cliffs is out of the unraced Marju mare Mrs Marsh who is also completely free of Northern Dancer line. He seems the perfect outcross for Northern Dancer line mares which is inundated in Europe. Canford Cliffs first foals look very well and he seems to stamp his stock. It is interesting how he will fare as a sire with his breeding.

(2). Dick Turpin (IRE)
A dual Group 1 winner Dick Turpin retired to The National Stud after wins in the Group 1 Prix Jean Prat and Premio Vittorio di Capula, that win secured him with the title of champion Italian older horse. Dick Turpin is a son of Group winner Arakan, himself a son of Nureyev. Dick Turpin is out of Merrily a daughter of Sharrood, he is free of Northern Dancer blood on his dams side. Dick Turpin's first foals really looked the part with some nice scopey attractive individuals. He has also been warmly received in Australia where he shuttles for the Southern Hemisphere season.

(3). Dream Ahead  (USA)
Dream Ahead was a dual Group 1 winner in France and England as a 2yo where he won the Prix Morny and Middle Park Stakes. He was JT champion European 2yo with Frankel that year. Dream Ahead proved to be a lucrative sprinter as a 3yo winning three more Group 1 races including the Betfred Sprint Cup, Darley July Cup and Prix De La Foret in France where he beat the champion mare Goldikova. Dream Ahead is by Diktat out of Group 2 Flying childers winner Land Of Dreams. He is inbred 4x5 to Northern Dancer and 4x5 to Group 1 Prix De Abbeye winner Balidar. He suits both Sadler's Wells and Danehill line mares the 2 best broodmare sires in Europe. His pedigree suits a lot of European mares. Dream Ahead's first foals have done their sire justice impressing breeders in both Hemisphere's. His first book at Ballylinch stud included 7 Group 1 producers.

(4). Lilbourne Lad (IRE)

Lilbourne Lad proved to be one of the toughest 2yo's of his generation. A winner of the Group 2 Railway Stakes, he was 2nd in the Group 1 Middle Park Stakes. A son of leading 2yo sire Acclamation, Lilbourne Lad is out of the Green Desert mare Sogno Verde. Lilbourne Lad stands alongside his sire Acclamtion at Rathbarry Stud. He only ran as a 2yo and was quickly acquired by Rathbarry stud to help cover some of the mares originally sent to his sire. Lilbourne Lad's first foals will surely be sought out after by buyers.

(5). Poet's Voice (GB)
Poets Voice finest hour came in the Group 1 QEII stakes at Ascot where he beat multiple Group 1 winner Rip Van Winkle. His only Group 1 win he was also a winner of the Group 2 Champagne stakes by 4 Lengths as a 2yo. He is one of the early sons of his champion sire Dubawi at stud. He is from a high class family synonymous with Grade 1 winners. Poets Voice covered 38 Listed or Group performers and the dams of 34 Stakes winners. Breeders have been pleased by the look of his first foals.

(6). Pour Moi (IRE)
Pour Moi's win in the  2011 Epsom Derby was probably one of the astonishing performances I've seen by a 3yo colt. He showed a tremendous burst of acceleration to snatch the win from subsequent Irish Derby winner Treasure Beach.  Pour Moi is by champion sire Montjeu out of the unraced Darshaan mare Gwynn. He is from the family of fellow derby winner and world champion racehorse Lammtara. I can see Pour Moi's foals proving quite popular at the sales. He looks a lovely sire in the making. However the only concern I have about his future career at stud is his sires poor record at producing sires. However this seems to be changing with Motivator siring the high class unbeaten dual Group 1 winning filly Treve and Authorized also siring a Group 1 filly in Ambivalent. If Montjeu is to get a future champion sire son at stud, I really fancy Pour Moi's chances.

(7). Roderic O' Connor (IRE)
Roderic O'Connor retired to Ballyhane Stud as the winner of 2 Group 1 races including the Criterium International as a 2yo and the Irish 2000 guineas as a 3yo. Roderic O'Connor is by sire sensation Galileo who is already proving to be a very good sire of sires. Roderic O'Connor is out of Danehill mare Secret Garden. He is from the family of Arc winners Detroit and her son Carnegie and high class filly Banimpire.  The Galileo/Danehill cross has produced outstanding horses on the track and it seems to continue in the breeding shed with champion 2yo colt Teofilo already siring 5 individual Group 1 winners since his retirement to stud in 2008. Roderic O'Connor's first foals really do look the part and i've been highly impressed by what ive seen he could play a nice role in the upcoming sales.
