Supplement to SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 22nd - SUNDAY 24th APRIL 2016

150 000 166 44

The highest advertised fee at conception in 2013 of National Sale yearlings by a S. African based sire.

The 2016 National Sale is the 40th to be staged at the Germiston complex of the TBA. Graduates have won over 400 Gr1 races. Here are some names that will ring a bell. Argonaut. Bold Tropic.

Captain Al. Dynasty. Elusive Fort. Free My Heart. Goldmark. Harry’s Charm.

Ingleside. James Jaguar. Kildonan.

London News. Martial Eagle. National Emblem. On Her Toes. Pomodoro.

Record Edge. Senor Santa. Taban.

Unaware. Vercingetorix. Winter Solstice. Young Rake. Zebra Crossing.

And, yes, Gr1 Q and Gr1 X are still missing. Some help is at hand: Q is lot 89 Queen Of Alamo & lot 276 Quinlan.

Perhaps for the 50 still unnamed yearlings X marks the spot…

7 500 000

Seven-and-a-half-million. That’s the number of Rand available per year as added stakes for black-type 2yo and 3yo races.

All horses bought and signed up at Bloodstock South Africa sales can qualify. There are no less than 75 opportunities each season to earn added stakes, from Gr1 right down to Listed races. This year’s National Sale buy-in is R5k.

28

That honour is shared by former champion sire Silvano and successor-in-waiting Dynasty. Silvano’s fee increased to R200k in 2015, while Dynasty’s rose to R250k. The duo have 37 yearlings on offer at Nationals.

4 458 944

The highest advertised fee at conception in 2013 of National Sale yearlings by a foreign based sire.

US$300k, or almost 4.5 million at last count for our embattled Rand, is the advertised fee for US champion sire Tapit. As always in the limelight in USA, the Gainesway-based Tapit in 2016 has leading 3yo Moyhamen, and also is the sire of UAE Derby winner Lani – both are Kentucky Derby candidates.

Tapit has one on offer - a yearling colt from a daughter of champion filly Ipi Tombe, consigned by Drakenstein.

5000

The lowest advertised fee at conception in 2013 of National Sale yearlings by a S. African based sire.

That stallion is former champion 2yo Kildonan, who has two colts on the sale. #14 is out of Bold Wonder, a Gr3 placed 7-time winning mare by Blackfriars (son of Danehill) from Bush Hill Stud. #79 is out of stakes winning Var-mare Esteral, from the family of UK sire Connaught, consigned by Clifton Stud.

The number of yearlings sired by the top-dozen stallions on the current sire-list.

The top-dozen are from the Sporting Post table of Leading Sires by Stakes as at 17 April, in this order, with their number of yearlings on offer.

TRIPPI SILVANO CAPTAIN AL KAHAL DYNASTY WESTERN WINTER JAY PEG JET MASTER VAR JUDPOT IDEAL WORLD MOGOK

30

The highest number of yearlings catalogued from a single vendor.

There are three vendors each with thirty yearlings catalogued – Klipdrif Stud, Moutonshoek and Varsfontein Stud. Hot on their heels with 29 is Mauritzfontein Stud, then come Ascot Stud (26) and Scott Bros (22). Between them, that’s a good third of the whole catalogue.

The highest number of yearlings at the sale by an stablished stallion.

That is Avontuur’s sire Var, this season’s leading sire of 2yo’s. Second with 27 yearlings is Sail From Seattle, the former Ascot stallion (he’s dead) who got a Gr1 Cape Guineas winner in his first crop.

The highest number of yearlings at the sale by a first-season stallion.

That is Scott Bros’ new sire Crusade, who received massive support from KZN breeders. Second with 15 yearlings is Avontuur’s sire Oratorio, who is new to South Africa, but already produced Gr1 winners world-wide from previous liasons.

The he difference in age in days between the oldest and the youngest yearling at the sale.

The oldest is #86 Grande Maestro, a colt by Oratorio out of multiple Gr1 runner-up Felix The Cat (who had the misfortune to be born in the same year as Princess Victoria). Born on 26 July, the colt is from the first local crop of his sire, and is the first foal of his dam who is half sister to MLJet. He’s consigned

by Bush Hill Stud.

Four months younger is #373, a half brother to three winners out of Tara’s Tinker, who is half sister to Gr1 winner Act Of War and full sister to Gr3 Subastador. The yearling colt, born 1 December, is from the first local crop of AP Indy stallion Marchfield, and can be found in the Moutonshoek draft.

The number of yearlings sired by 7 stallions with 20 or more yearlings on offer.

That’s 37% of the total 453 yearlings.

315 The number of yearlings sired by 18 stallions with 10 or more yearlings on offer.

That’s 70% of the total 453 yearlings.

The total number of vendors of yearlings at the sale

Supplement to SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 22nd - SUNDAY 24th APRIL 2016

There’s a seasoned owner and breeder who is deeply into pedigree analysis.

Every year, when the new stallions going to stud are announced, he delves into their genetic make-up. If he likes what he sees he’ll buy shares (if these are available). If he really likes it, he’ll make sure that he backs up his judgement by getting a suitable mare or two. Our man has had glorious successes that paid off big time – such as investing in a Silvano share, and Jet Master’s first crop of yearlings. He’s also had spectacular failures – their names best forgotten. For some others, the jury is still out. Never say die!

Three years ago his excitement knew no bounds with the arrival at stud of Crusade, whose pedigree supposedly has what it takes. The first hour of truth is nigh. Crusade has a large number of yearlings at Nationals, and buyers will no doubt give a no-nonsense evaluation of what they see in terms of potential. Thankfully, our man still has at least another year or so before he knows for sure.

Buyers have the unenviable task this year of prospecting about a hundred yearlings sired by ‘new stallions’, making up more than 20% of the whole catalogue for Nationals this year.

Included in that number are yearlings by the likes of Oratorio and Marchfield, who aren’t strictly new, as they’ve had runners in other countries already. But even that is no guarantee that things will follow previously established patterns in a different environment.

Remember the relative, but baffling failure in Australia of one of the world’s best, Galileo.

New stallions certainly are not for sissies.

Sarah Whitelaw delves into the backgrounds of this year’s new releases.

AWAIT THE DAWN An outstanding racehorse, Await The Dawn was a triple Gr1 race winner who won his pattern races by a gross margin of over 16 lengths. By triple champion sire Giant’s Causeway (sire of successful sires Shamardal, Footstepsinthesand and First Samurai), Await The Dawn is from the family of Derby winner Commander In Chief and champions and top class sires Rainbow Quest and Warning. He has 10 yearlings on sale: Lot 16 – this filly, whose dam is by champion sprinter Royal Applause, is out of a half sister to a stakes placed filly and is from the family of outstanding international females Al Thakhira, Shamal Wind and Gr1 CCA Oaks winner Marshua Lot 85 – this well bred filly is out of a winning Kahal half sister to Gr2 Ipi Tombe Challenge winner First Again, and from the same family as Met winner Ding Dong, among others. Bred on similar lines to dual classic winner and outstanding sire Shamardal Lot 100 – a half sister to 4 winners, including Gr1 filly Lisa Anne, this filly is out of a mare by leading broodmare sire Complete Warrior (whose daughters are responsible for Captain Al, Shadow Dancing, Spiced Gold etc) from the family of Gr1 winner African Appeal Lot 113 – bred on the hugely successful Giant’s Causeway/Kingmambo cross, this filly (a half sister to 2 winners), is out of a half sister to the stakes performer and producer Poppy and from the family of outstanding international miler Imbongi and champions Imperious Sue and Victory Moon

Lot 254 – another inbred to the mighty Roberto (the only horse ever to defeat Brigadier Gerard), this colt is out of a full sister to Gr3 winner Aquitaine and a three parts sister to Gr1 Horse Chestnut Stakes winner Captain America, with the latter having earned just under R3 000 000 in stakes (at the time of writing) Lot 337 – this colt is a half brother to 8 winners, including ill-fated Gr1 performer Lostintranslation and the very promising filly Supercilious. His dam, by multiple champion broodmare sire Northern Guest, is an own sister to Gr1J&B Met winner Angus Lot 441 – a half sister to three winners, this filly is out of a Western Winter half sister to 2 stakes winning females, and from the family of ill-fated US Gr1 winner Citronnade

BYWORD An outstanding racehorse and champion in France, Byword scored his signature win in the Gr1 Prince Of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot (a race won previously by the likes of Azamour, Dubai Millennium, Ouija Board and Bosra Sham) over a field which included seven Gr1 winners. A half brother to multiple Gr1 winning filly Proviso and from the family of breed shaping sire Court Martial, Byword’s first crop have already proved popular with his first crop having fetched up to R2 million. He has 13 on offer: Lot 3 – out of a winning sister to a classic winner, this filly is from one of the greatest families in the stud book. Third dam was a top class racemare, and this is the family of superstar sires Danehill, Machiavellian, Halo and Northern Dancer, as well as champion fillies Coup de Genie and Denebola Lot 4 – inbred to both the great sire Nureyev (like the dam of champion Golden Horn and Gr1 winners Krypton Factor and Zabeelionaire) and the great Blushing Groom, this colt is out of a winning daughter of the Gr1 placed Firstnightbliss and from the family of graded winning siblings Sevillano and Herod The Great Lot 22 –a half sister to four winners, this filly is out of a four time stakes winning granddaughter of Danzig and from the family of the outstanding Gr1 Australian Guineas winner Light Fantastic –a great grandson of Danzig Lot 154 – a half brother to 3 winners, this colt is out of a Rich Man’s Gold half sister to 2 stakes winners, including 2yo star Berlusconi and from the family of champion Shesgoing Tobefun Lot 159 – a half brother to five winners, this well related colt is out of a half brother to two Gr1 winners.

Interestingly enough, this is also the same family as Byword Lot 277 – out of a daughter of leading sire Kahal, this colt’s dam is a half sister to three stakes winners including 12 time Gr3 winner Sternwheeler Lot 324 – a half brother to 7 winners (and also inbred to the great sire and broodmare sire Nureyev), this colt’s half sister is none other than Easy Game, an emphatic winner of the Listed Bauhinia Handicap and third in the Gr3 Sycamore Sprint. This is a great Australian family responsible for two Golden Slipper winners, including this season’s brilliant 2yo Capitalist Lot 325 – intriguingly inbred to one of France’s greatest champions Peintre Celebre, this colt is out of former East Cape champion Short List and from the family of French Gr2 winner Gunboat Diplomacy Lot 331 – out of a mare with a 100% strike rate to date, this filly is out of a three time winning daughter of Kahal and from the same family as Golden Slipper winner Golden Silvino Lot 335 – inbred to the great miler and sire Habitat, this colt is out of a winning three parts sister to Gr2 winning speedster Sleek Braashee, and second dam is Gr1 Garden Province winner Sleek Wine Lot 341 – out of a Gr3 winning 2yo by top sire Var, this colt hails from one of the best families in the stud book, with his relatives including Gr1 winning miler and red hot young sire Poet’s Voice, Gr1 winners Dance To Bristol and George Vancouver, Horse Of The Year Charismatic and dual US champion sire Exclusive Native

CRUSADE This brilliant 2yo hails from the Gone West male line which has met with such success in South Africa, through the likes of Count Dubois and triple champion sire Western Winter.

Crusade, bred on a similar cross to leading US sire Speightstown, won the prestigious Gr1 Middle Park Stakes at two –as did such top class stallions as Diesis, Sharpen Up, Dark Angel, and Oasis Dream, with the latter recently represented by his 100th stakes winner.

The handsome Crusade has 25 first crop yearlings on offer: Lot 26 – by a top class 2yo out of a very smart 2yo, this colt is out of a four time winning Gr3 juvenile and from the same family as Epsom Derby runner up Cavo Doro. He descends in female line from none other than the mighty racemare and producer Pretty Polly, whose numerous high class descendants include Brigadier Gerard, Fantastic Light, Great Nephew, and Swain Lot 51 – a half brother to 2 winners, one of whom won nine, this colt is from the family of US graded winners Sing Sing and John Casey. The same family as Epsom Derby winner and top sire Sir Ivor

Supplement to SPORTING POST • FRIDAY 22nd - SUNDAY 24th APRIL 2016

(This piece was composed before the Gr1 Fillies Classic win of Judpot’s daughter Juxtapose. We’ve left it as is, though, as the background to the story remains valid).

Great stallions are measured by Gr1 winners. Most countries have a very limited number of Gr1 races in any given year, so that winning Gr1 remains an exceptional achievement. Even the very best stallions have less than two dozen or so in a lifetime career.

In South Africa, last year’s champion sire Captain Al presently averages one Gr1 winner per crop. So does Dynasty. Before, the outstanding perennial champion Jet Master averaged two per crop. Silvano and Western Winter hover close to the two-per-crop mark.

So when Judpot hit the jackpot with two first-crop 2yo Gr1 winners in July 2013, that achievement was noteworthy indeed.

Statistically the expectation had to be that either he was another Jet Master, or that a few crops might pass by before Judpot had another Gr1 winner. Common sense suggested the latter, but many breeders opted for the first. The 2013 breeding season started 2 months after the Gr1 winners emerged and Judpot covered more than 125 mares. This in contrast to the thirty Judpot 2013-foals being born during the same months.

It is now almost 3 years on from the first two Gr1 wins by Along Came Polly and Forest Indigo in July 2013. Along Came Polly scored another Gr1 win as a 3yo before being sold to the USA. Judpot came close with his second crop, with SA Derby runner-up and SA Classic 3rd Deputy Jud, and Double Whammy, who placed in the Gr1 Fillies Guineas.

But right now the tally still stands at two from 3 crops. And it needs a miracle to get a 4th crop Gr1 winner from Judpot’s very small current 2yo crop born in 2013.

Lot 79 – a half brother to a winner, this colt is out of a stakes winning daughter of top sprinter and leading sire Var, and this is the same family as last season’s Gr1 Irish Derby winner Jack Hobbs, who stays in training in 2016

LOPE DE VEGA A dual classic winner and successful in both the French 2000 Guineas and Derby, Lope De Vega is one of Europe’s most exciting young sires.

His first crop yielded champions Belardo and Hero Look, with subsequent crops producing the high class performer Blue De Vega, and he is also responsible for hugely promising Aus 2yo French Fern. Lope De Vega’s daughter Very Special won both this year’s Gr2 Cape Verdi and Gr2 Balanchine Stakes in Dubai. He has one lot on offer: Lot 15 – like recent US graded winner Converge, this colt is inbred to the legendary sire Storm Cat. He is out of a out a half sister to 3 US stakes winners, including Gr2 winner Satans Quick Chick. He is from the family of major international performers Colonial Affair, Declaration Of War, Glad Rags II and Union Rags, as well as former SA Oaks winner Idle Fancy

Yet statistically speaking, now’s the time for buyers to strike.

Here’s why.

Judpot’s two first-crop Gr1 winners were no fluke - one repeated Gr1 a year later, and he had two Gr1 placed the next crop, colts and fillies both years.

It is reasonable to expect then that he’ll average at least one Gr1 winner per crop over time.

Since he’s likely to still be 2 from 4 crops this year, Judpot’s next crops should yield bountiful harvests.

That starts with te large crop born in 2014, which in addition had better quality mares than he’d seen before.

That large crop hits the yearling sales this year, meaning competition for sellers, real choice for buyers, and Gr1 in the wings for Judpot – who for buyers still has a thing or two to prove.

It’s a funny old game, this.

(The Gr1 Fillies Classic win brought Judpot’s tally to 3 from his first 3 crops. That should have buyers reaching for the chequebooks - Judpot might still be another Jet Master!).

MAIN AIM Like leading young sires Querari and Showcasing, Main Aim is a son of champion sprinter Oasis Dream, who recently celebrated his 100th stakes winner. Main Aim was a top class performer and dual Gr3 winner who also finished second in Britain’s sprint premiership –the Gr1 July Cup. Bred on the same Danzig/Sharpen Up cross as leading sire Danehill Dancer, Main Aim is from the same female line as breed shaping sires Mr Prospector, Seattle Slew and Tourbillon. He has 3 on offer: Lot 160 – a half sister to a winner, this well related filly is out of a Dynasty half sister to Fillies Guineas winner Sally Bowles, herself dam of US Gr3 winner Consumer Credit. This is the wonderful Party Time family which has produced such top class fillies as First Arrival, Lambarina and Equus Champion In The Fast Lane, as well as this season’s Gr2 Fillies Guineas winner Heaps Of Fun Lot 219 – a half sister to a five time winner, this filly is out of a Fort Wood own sister to dual Gr1 winner Forest Path and Gr2 winner Reef Road and hails from the family of champion and July winner Spanish Galliard Lot 225 – inbred to the mighty Danzig, this colt is out of a winning own sister to the talented stakes winner Formation and this is the family of champions Kochka and Jay Peg, as well as talented Danzig line sprinter National Title

A stakes winner and runner up (by a short head) in the Gr1 Travers Stakes, Mambo In Seattle is one of the best bred sires at stud in South Africa.

The son of leading sire Kingmambo is out of a full sister to Horse Of The Year and dual US champion sire A P Indy and is also a three parts brother to US champ and leading sire Lemon Drop Kid. He has made a promising start at stud, with his first crop producing multiple Gr1 winner Same Jurisdiction and Gr3 winner Fortune Fella and his second the stakes winning Mambonick. He has 14 lots on sale: Lot 11 – a half brother to a winner, this colt is out of a stakes placed own sister to Gr1 filly My Squeeza, the latter being the dam of millionaire and Gr1 filly Trophy Wife, who was sired by Mambo’s very close relative Tiger Ridge Lot 13 – a half sister to a very smart filly in the making, this filly is out of a winning half sister to July winning Equus Champion Bold Silvano, who currently ranks as one of South Africa’s leading first crop sires. Her second dam is by Mambo’s close relative Al Mufti –which makes this filly inbred to the great mare Lassie Dear Lot 114 – out of a stakes placed daughter of successful broodmare sire Goldkeeper, this filly is from an outstanding family, with her relatives including SA Gr1 winners Arabian Lass and Arabian Beat, R6 000 000 colt Silver Coin, Gr1 winning 2yo Casamento and the legendary Vaguely Noble Lot 118 – this well bred colt, bred on the famed Kingmambo/Sadler’s Wells cross – responsible for this year’s Met winner, is a half brother to current Gr3 winning 3yo Eighth Wonder and 2 other winners and is out of a full sister to champion Monyela and a three parts sister to champion Horse Chestnut Lot 202 –a half brother to four winners, this colt is out of a stakes placed full sister to Gr3 winners Azauga and Golden Corn, and is from the same family as European champion, and multiple Gr1 winner Ramonti Lot 236 – a half sister to 2 winners, this filly’s dam, by champion sire and broodmare sire Fort Wood, is a full sister to Gr3 winner Overbearing and a half sister to Gr1 winners Alpha Omega and Final Claim, another bred on the potent Kingmambo/Sadler’s Wells cross Lot 251 – this well bred colt is a half brother to 4 winners including Gr2 Merchants hero Triptique and is from the family of Gr1 winners Counter Action, Divine Fashion and Perfect Order among others Lot 262 – this well bred filly, intensely inbred to Weekend Surprise as is champion Stevie Wonderboy and current high class 3yo Lewis Bay, is out a stakes placed winner who is from the same family as Horse Of The Year and successful sire Model Man, among others Lot 306 –a half sister to five winners, this filly is out of a four time own sister to 2yo stakes winner, and from the family of champion Royal Chalice and such Gr1 winners as Honour The Guest, Nania, and Set Afire, as well as the very promising 2yo Bishop’s Bounty Lot 374 – this filly, also bred on Kingmambo/ Sadler’s Wells cross, is out of a Gr1 placed stakes winning half sister to Gr3 Algoa Cup runner up Orchestrated, and her second dam is a Gr3 winning half sister to Gr3 winner I Do.

A half sister to 2 winners, he is out of a Pulpit half sister to US Gr1 winning sprinter Snow Ridge and this is also the family of recent US Gr1 winners Embellish The Lace and Materiality

MANDURO Described by French trainer Andre Fabre as the best he has trained, Manduro was a superb racehorse, whose 10 wins included three Gr1 wins, and who thumped the mighty Dylan Thomas when he won the Gr1 Prince Of Wales’s Stakes. The son of champion sire Monsun is now also enjoying success at stud –his stakes winners last year included the impressive French Group 1 winners Ultra (a classic hope in 2016) and Vazirabad, among others.

Lot 417 – this filly, a half sister to 8 winners –one of whom won 8, is out of a Gone West half sister to a US Gr2 winner and is from the family of flying French Group 1 winner Silver Fling, with her fourth dam being former US champion 2yo Queen Empress –and this is also the family of former Breeders’ Cup winner Jewel Princess

MUHTAFAL Every year a bunch of new stallions goes to stud.

High hopes and expectations allround. Every year the Breeder’s Handbook evaluates their pedigrees and makes a prediction about what mares might suit them well.

That gives perspective.

The Class of 2012 included champion Irish 2yo Pathfork. Breeder’s Handbook evaluated his pedigree in detail, and accompanied it with its concise Pick Of The Bunch. This suggested that suitable lines for Pathfork could include 1. Best In Show female line descendants, notably Northern Guest, Try My Best (Last Tycoon, Bel Byou), Modus Vivendi, Labeeb; 2. La Troienne female line descendants, notably Buckpasser (Northern Guest, Al Mufti, National Assembly, etc.); 3. Dalmary female line descendants incl Sadler’s Wells, Nureyev, Fairy King, Golden Thatch, Thatch; 4. Lalun female line descendants Bold Reason (Sadler’s Wells) and Never Bend (Mill Reef, Riverman, etc); 5. Trippi; and 6. Rose Leaves (dam of Bull Lea) female line descendants (Diorissimo, Scented Royal, Sleek Gold, Noble Ambition, etc).

The Handbook’s call was heeded by Highlands, where Pathfork stands. They sent the mare Scarlet Sky, a daughter of Fort Wood (Sadler’s Wells) and Fading Light.

The latter is by Bel Byou, sired by Try My Best (the full brother to Northern Guest) out of a mare by Thatch. Four of the six Pick’s covered! The resulting colt, inbred 3x3 to Sadler’s Wells, sold as a yearling at the KZN Million Yearling Sales for R250k. Named Red Chestnut Road, he made his debut late in March over 1200m at Scottsville, winning by over seven lengths in good time, unextended. The strength of opposition was hard to gauge at the time, but Red Chestnut Road looks to have a bright future.

What of Pathfork’s offerings at Nationals? There are 9 catalogued. #24 colt out of a mare by National Assembly (dam by Buckpasser), the next dam

by Roy (dam is by Never Bend). Highlands #61 colt out US-bred mare whose dam is by Fred Astaire (inbred to Bull Lea) out of a mare by Coastal (dam by Buckpasser). Highlands #76 colt out of mare by Fort Wood (Sadler’s Wells), third dam by Secret Prospector (double La Troienne). Nutfield Stud #89 filly out of mare by Parade Leader (sire Kingmambo is out of Miesque, by Nureyev). Riverton Stud #132 filly out of mare by Fort Wood (Sadler’s Wells). Highlands #133 filly out of mare by Fort Wood (Sadler’s Wells), next dam by Al Mufti (dam by Buckpasser). Ascot Stud #169 colt out of a mare by National Assembly (dam by Buckpasser). Klipdrif Stud #326 filly out of mare by Joshua Dancer. Cheveley Stud #344 filly out of mare by National Emblem (by National Assembly), grandam by son of Alydar (dam 3x3 Bull Lea). Mauritzfontein
