arneuk Stud’s Neville Murdoch was delighted
with the support from breeders for Cluster when
the imposing son of Fastnet Rock was retired to
stud last spring.
And there should be even more buzz around this year
with Fastnet Rock in the meantime starting to prove his
worth as a sire of sires with his sons Hinchinbrook,
Wanted, Stryker, Smart Missile and Foxwedge, all represented by stakes winners.
Described by Murdoch as “an absolutely gorgeous
horse,” Cluster is one of Fastnet Rock’s 95 stakes winners and it looks just a matter of time until the champion
sire reaches three figures.
One of four winners produced by the tough and talented Last Tycoon mare Tarcoola Diamond, a Listed winner
also two times Group placed, Cluster coped well with his
first season and his book was a strong one.
Sisters to such outstanding horses as Green Desert,
Marlin, Dancer’s Choice, A Country Girl, Sound Action,
Great Glen, Arapaho Miss, Full On Aces, Conspectus,
Hvasstan, Tan Tat de Lago, Trim, Shovhog, Castle Pines,
Winestock, Far Lane, Ball Park and Marble Halls were
amongst his harem as were close relations to Storm Bird,
Kingston Town, Champagne, Brave Chief, Roman Arch,
Tie The Knot, Dual Choice, Starstruck, Karuta Queen
and Rainbow Quest.
“He served a really nice group of mares and we are
very much looking forward to the arrival of his first
foals,” Murdoch said.
During a short but brilliant career, Cluster created a fine
impression. So well regarded that at only his second start
he was entered for the Gr.3 San Domenico Stakes over
1100m, Cluster found trouble at the 200m before rallying
for a courageous second to the much more experienced
Va Pensiero. A month later Cluster headed to Melbourne
where he showed his versatility by running third over
1600m in the Gr.2 Bill Stutt Stakes, beaten by Divine
Calling with Shamus Award second and the VRC Derby
winner Polanski finishing fourth.
Changing stables to Peter & Paul Snowden the following winter, Cluster quickly shook off his maiden status
with an easy win (1200m) at Kembla Grange - saluting
by no less than 91⁄4 lengths! Cluster was victorious again
at his next start, overcoming early trouble to win the
Forum Group Handicap (1200m) at Rosehill.

Cluster (T Clark) trained by Peter & Paul Snowden wins the
2014 $201,700 Group 2 Theo Marks Stakes (1400m) at Rosehill.
Once again impressing his new stable Cluster was set
for the Gr.2 Theo Marks Stakes over 1400m which he
won in barnstorming style. Shuffled back to the rear and
ending up in an awkward position approaching the turn,
Cluster put on a display of not only his stellar turn of foot
but also his great heart, swamping his rivals and nailing
the classy Bull Point on the line.
It was a win that earned the admiration of Peter
Snowden who admitted to concern during the run.
“To be back where he was with the second favourite
outside of him making sure he wasn’t going to go anywhere - I was thinking I don’t want to be here!”
“But full credit to the horse. Once he got to the outside
he showed what class he has really got. He has a massive
amount of acceleration and we saw a bit of that.”
Jockey Tim Clark was also impressed - “he has an awesome turn of foot - he is a real horse, he is Group One
quality.”
Unfortunately injury prevented Cluster - who at his
next start caught the eye weaving through the field for a
close up fifth in the Gr.1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes
(1400m, behind Trust In A Gust, Dissident, Bull Point
and Sweet Idea) - reaching the pinnacles expected of him,
but there is no doubt that he was a racehorse of considerable talent. And he has the breeding to back up his good
looks and ability.
“It is a great family chock-full of speed,” Murdoch
enthused.

Standing at Bombora Downs, VIC
F
or a stallion who never stood in Australia,
Dansili has had a remarkable impact in this part
of the world, Juddmonte’s triple Group winning
son of Danehill represented by 12 local stakes winners.
One of which is the handsome bay Dandino who retires
this spring to Bombora Downs, Victoria.
Under the care of Marco Botti winning two Group
races in the UK (the Jockey Club Stakes and the
September Stakes) as well as the American St Leger,
Dandino arrived in Australia in the spring of 2013, making an immediate impression with his gallant second to
Fawkner in the Gr.1 Caulfield Cup (2400m).
Also a close up 31⁄2 length fifth in Fiorente’s Gr.1
Melbourne Cup (3200m), Dandino returned to the northern hemisphere for a brief stint (finishing second in the
now Listed American St Leger, 2714m) before having
another crack at the Melbourne spring.
Unfortunately for connections an eye-catching second
to Almoonqith in the Gr.3 Geelong Cup (2400m) was not
enough to earn him a second Melbourne Cup start but he
was able to atone for this disappointment with an easy
victory in the Gr.3 Queen’s Cup (2600m) on the final day
of the Flemington carnival.
Retiring to stud as the winner of six races and just short
of $2 million in stakes, Dandino was a horse who
impressed all who laid hands on him.
“Dandino had a great attitude and was one of the few
horses that I have ridden who was able to accelerate from
middle distance through to staying distances at the highest level,” said jockey Craig Williams.
“Dandino has a terrific temperament and the turn of
foot he showed was fantastic, something you rarely see in
a horse with his stamina,” noted trainer Darren Weir.
“Dandino was a delight to train,” enthused Marco Botti
- “a real gentleman in every sense of the word. His class
and adaptability enabled him to race with longevity on
many different tracks with ease. I am sure he will stamp
his young stock with quality.”
One of Dansili’s 109 stakes winners (others including
the Australian Group One winners Foreteller and Grand
Marshal), Dandino is out of the three times winner
Generous Diana whose grandam is a sister to the French
Oaks heroine Lypharita.
Generous Diana is a daughter of the Epsom & Irish
Derby winner Generous, successful sire of 43 stakes winners and an even better broodmare sire of 51 stakes winners including the Group One winners Golan, Lion
Tamer, Nahrain, We Can Say It Now, Mourinho,
Survived, Al Shemali and Proportional.
Dandino boasts amongst his relations the Group One
winners Belmez, Red Desire and Debussy. This is a prolific black-type family, one that descends from the influential matriarch Pearl Maiden who holds her piece of history as the dam of three French Classic winners; Pearl
Cap (Oaks and 1000 Guineas as well as the Prix de l’Arc
de Triomphe), Bipearl (1000 Guineas) and Pearlweed
(Derby).
This is a family that has made its presence felt in
Australia, Pearl Maiden’s other descendants including
the big races winners Triscay, La Baraka, Defier and
Demerger.
Bred on a 5 X 4 cross of the great Nijinsky II, Dandino
is a horse who excites Bombora Downs’ Christoph
Bruechert who said that “we feel the need to give breeders access to staying blood and felt from the moment we
saw him - Dandino is the right horse.”

ith High Chaparral performing better in
Australasia than anywhere else it is little
wonder that studs are keen to stand his sons
and the early success of So You Think is only going to
enhance the breed’s popularity.
One of High Chaparral’s best European gallopers of
recent times is Free Eagle who, after making his debut at
the Irish National Stud this year, will shuttle to South
Australia’s Cornerstone Stud in the spring.
Much to the delight of the stud’s Sam Hayes who said
that he was “tremendously excited” to be standing Free
Eagle.
“He is one of those horses who walks out of his box and
immediately takes your eye. Types are what sell at the
yearling sales and physically Free Eagle has that ‘wow’
factor. High Chaparral is widely considered to be one of
the most successful European stallions to have shuttled to
New Zealand and Australia for some years.”
“We believe in this sire line and the way in which Free
Eagle accelerated away from world class horses at
Leopardstown and Royal Ascot makes him something
special. The Irish National Stud has such a proud history,” he continued, “so to be working with John Osborne
and his team to help make Free Eagle a success at stud is
a big honour.”
Sent out favourite at his debut in a Leopardstown twoyear-old maiden in August 2013, Free Eagle immediately impressed, racing away to a 51⁄2 length victory over
1609m. On the strength of that victory, Free Eagle was
odds-on in the Gr.3 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Trial (1609m)
at the same track next time out only to be defeated. But
not by just any horse, but subsequent Gr.1 Epsom and
Gr.1 Irish Derby winner Australia.
Given time to mature, Free Eagle reappeared in
September 2014, taking out the Gr.3 Enterprise Stakes
(2012m) by no less than seven lengths. From there he
headed to Ascot where he was a game third in a particularly memorable edition of the Gr.1 Champion Stakes
(2012m) quinellaed by Frankel’s brother Noble Mission
and the comeback galloper Al Kazeem.
First up the following June and Free Eagle was able to
break through for his own Group 1 success, holding on
gamely in the Gr.1 Prince Of Wales’s Stakes (2011m, a
race won by So You Think in 2012) when challenged late
by the outstanding The Grey Gatsby. Fifth in the race was
Criterion. Free Eagle again tackled high class company
when third in the Gr.1 Irish Champion Stakes (2011m)
won by Golden Horn. Again this is a form line relatable

to Australia with the W.S Cox Plate placegetter Highland
Reel fifth.
Free Eagle then travelled to France for the Gr.1 Prix de
l’Arc de Triomphe (2400m) finishing sixth (4.4L) to
Golden Horn and less than two lengths from dual ’Arc
winner and champion mare Treve in fourth.
Whilst obviously below his best in Hong Kong last
December, Free Eagle was favourite in the Gr.1 Hong
Kong Cup (2000m) which was won by A Shin Hikari,
who has since franked that form in Europe.
A home-bred for Moyglare Stud, Free Eagle is one of
81 stakes winners (15 Group 1 winners) sired by the
seven times Group 1 winning High Chaparral who sadly
died two years ago.
A half-brother to the six times Group winner Custom
Cut and the triple Group winner Sapphire, Free Eagle is
out of the regally bred Danehill mare Polished Gem.
Her dam is the Gr.1 Irish 1000 Guineas (1609m) winner Trusted Partner, dam of the US Group 1 winner Dress
To Thrill and third dam of the French Group 1 galloper
Vert de Grace.
Free Eagle’s third dam Talking Picture is also a stakes
winner and she is the fourth dam of Gallante who so easily won this year’s Gr.1 Sydney Cup (3200m).
This is a prolific black-type family, one that also produced former Cornerstone resident Hussonet, whose
daughters look interesting matches for Free Eagle.
Hussonet, who died in March, has sired 96 stakes winners and he has as his fifth dam the outstanding broodmare Bourtai, also fifth dam of Free Eagle.

Standing at Raheen Stud, QLD
A
tough and classy sprinter who just did not
know how to run a bad race, Raheen Stud’s
Golden Archer, is proving popular with
Queensland breeders.
Retired to stud in 2013 - serving 277 mares in his first
three years at stud, Golden Archer is a particularly handsome bay whose first weanlings are attracting attention,
the first seven to make their way through the sales ring
achieving an average of over $46,000 and selling for up
to $120,000.
A member of the Peter Moody stable at the same time
as superstar Black Caviar was scorching the tracks,
Golden Archer did not live in the limelight but his class
and honesty still shone through.
A precocious type who raced on seven occasions at
two, Golden Archer won his first two at Flemington and
Caulfield - over 1100m and 1000m respectively - by wide
margins. Stepping up to stakes company next time out, he
tasted his first defeat at the hands of Sepoy in a Listed
Blue Diamond Preview (1000m) - finishing third.
Travelling south to Tasmania, Golden Archer won the
Listed Gold Sovereign Stakes (1200m) before returning
to Melbourne where he won another two stakes races the Listed Heath Stakes and the Listed St Albans Stakes
- both over 1000m and the latter by 41⁄4 lengths.
At three easily winning the Gr.3 McNeil Stakes
(1200m) second up - having resumed with a Listed Vain
Stakes (1100m) second to Sepoy - Golden Archer had a
lengthy spell after finishing unplaced in the Gr.3
Caulfield Guineas Prelude (1400m).
Back all the stronger, he won two of his next three
starts, finishing close up at subsequent spring outings and
running third to Black Caviar in a memorable edition of
the Gr.1 Lightning Stakes (1000m).
Described by Peter Moody as “a professional racehorse
who did very little wrong during his career,” Golden
Archer headed to stud after being galloped on in The
Galaxy.
Eight wins and six placings from 20 starts was his final
tally and he amassed over $675,000 in prizemoney.
Golden Archer is one of 105 stakes winners sired by
Rock Of Gibraltar who, as the winner of eight Group One
races (Irish and English 2000 Guineas, Sussex Stakes,
Grand Criterium, Dewhurst Stakes, Palace Stakes, St
James’s Palace Stakes, Prix du Moulin de Longchamp),

is one of the mighty Danehill’s finest sons.
And his sons and daughters have proven excellent representatives of the Danehill line with 11 - Society Rock,
Samitar, Europa Point, Diamondrella, Alboran Sea,
Mount Nelson, Eagle Mountain, Prince Gibraltar,
Seventh Rock, Rock Kingdom and Varenar - being Group
One winners.
Bred on the same highly successful Danehill/Snippets
cross as Snitzel, Golden Archer is out of the Gr.2 winning
Pins mare Viennetta.
Also dam of the multiple city winner La Praline,
Viennetta is a half-sister to the New Zealand Gr.3 winner
Butterscotch from a prolific black type family whose
members include the Gr.1 winners O’Marilyn,
Anacheeva, Headturner and Winestock and the stakes
winners Savour The Moment, Danasar, Kroner, Eire
Hostess, Tasman Dancer and Sukram.
Peter Moody was sad to see Golden Archer go but
pleased that he is being given every chance at stud.
“His injury was not severe,” he said, “however we
decided that the time was right. Golden Archer was great
for our team - only Black Caviar has won more black
type races for the stable in the last couple of years.”
“Before the injury,” he continued, “I had him lined up
for a trip to England - that is how highly I rated him. I
think he was in the top half dozen sprinters in the country.”
Golden Archer possesses a pedigree which offers
sought after, established bloodlines to breeders and there
is every reason for his progeny to excel.

p there with the best horses I’ve
trained,” was how highly respected
trainer Grahame Begg regarded
Ilovethiscity who has made an encouraging start to his
stud career, his first crop of two-year-olds displaying natural ability.
Impressive saluting on debut, the Matt Laurie trained
filly Moonlover proved two lengths too good for her
rivals over 1000m at Moe in late April, providing his sire
with his first winner, while on June 12 Chapel City won
on debut for trainer Gordon Richards at Morphettville,
giving Ilovethiscity his first metropolitan winner.
Son Of City and Plenty To Like are also showing talent
and Larneuk Stud’s Neville Murdoch is confident that the
Ilovethiscity breed “will be all the better at three and
beyond.” The winner of over $900,000, Ilovethiscity
raced five times at two, finishing runner-up at his first
couple of outings including a fast-finishing second in
Chance Bye’s Inglis Classic (1200m). But he was better
at three, breaking his maiden at Randwick second up in
his next preparation before taking on the big guns in the
Gr.1 Golden Rose (1400m). Enduring an especially torrid
run in that excellent form race, Ilovethiscity was a strong
finishing third behind Toorak Toff.
A couple of weeks later Glen Boss was aboard and they
raced away to an easy Gr.3 Spring Stakes (1600m) victory. It was on that day that people really started to take
notice, Ilovethiscity from an outside gate forced to the
lead too soon, after sitting wide. But he had plenty in
hand and Boss was impressed.
“He is a star, no doubt about it - his acceleration was
incredible.”
So strong was that win that Ilovethiscity was sent out
equal favourite in the Gr.1 Caulfield Guineas (1600m)
but things did not go to plan - the young horse getting
onto the wrong leg and jarring up on the firm surface.
Given the rest of the spring off, he was in winning form
second up the following summer, taking out the Gr.2
Hobartville Stakes (1400m) in what Begg described as
“arrogant” fashion.
Sent out an odds-on favourite in the Gr.1 Randwick
Guineas (1600m), Ilovethiscity did not disappoint - enduring another tough run but finding plenty to win with jockey Brenton Avdulla describing him as “a top class colt.”

Ilovethiscity’s first metropolitan winner on 12th June at
Morphettville when Chapel City (M Poon) won at his 1st start.
(1500m) and the Gr.1 Doncaster Handicap (1600m),
Ilovethiscity was only just beaten by the tough Sincero in
the Gr.1 George Main Stakes (1600m) in what was to be
his final campaign.
“We didn’t really see the best of him,” Begg insisted,
“heavy tracks impeded much of his career and he didn’t
have a great deal of luck. He always raced at the highest
level in the best of company and he is a great looking
horse with a wonderful temperament.”
An imposing chestnut built very much in the mould of
his sire, Ilovethiscity is a son of the terrific Zeditave stallion Magic Albert. A stallion boasting an excellent winners-to-runners strike rate of over 66%, Magic Albert has
sired 22 stakes winners including the Group One performers Albert The Fat, Magic Cape and Fighting Warrior.
Ilovethiscity hails from one of Australasia’s finest families which has produced Horse Of The Year Lankan
Rupee, the high class stallions Grosvenor (sire of 53
stakes winners including the Group One winners
Westminster, Eagle Eye, Richfield Lady, Ebony Grosve,
Domino, Te Akau Nick, Alacrity, Omnicorp, Emerald,
Cross Swords, Abstraction, Trappings, Captain
Moonlight, The Mighty Lions, Look Who’s Talking and
Heavenly Body) and Lonhro (sire of 60 stakes winners
including the Group One winners Exosphere, Pierro,
Denman, Bounding, Beaded, Mental and Benfica). Also
from this prolific black-type family are the outstanding
gallopers Gay Poss, National Gallery, Mahaya, Niello,
Miss Keepsake and Dalmacia - all Group One winners.

ecognised as one of Victoria’s toughest
gallopers, this highly popular grey
from the ever flourishing Danehill sire
line raced 115 times over an amazing seven seasons - winning 20 races with a further 24 placings
on his resume.
The durable Peter White trained entire won ten
of his races at metropolitan level and he was
stakes placed on three occasions - third to Rothera
and Sniper’s Bullet in the Gr.3 Moonga Stakes
(1400m), second to Nine Tails in the Gr.3
Sandown Stakes (1500m) and third to the speedy
Stavka in the Listed HKJC Stakes (1400m).
Also close up when seventh in Black Piranha’s
Gr.1 Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) and fifth behind
Light Fantastic, Weekend Hussler, Maldivian and
Alamosa in the Gr.2 Liston Stakes (1400m), Jungle
Ruler amassed over $848,000 in stakes.
Successful on good, dead, slow and heavy surfaces
from 1008m to 1600m on nine different tracks, Jungle
Ruler was versatile as well as tough and he will be
remembered for his bold front-running style. And he took
on some smart gallopers too, during his lengthy career
claiming the scalps of a large number of stakes winners
including Pinprick, Our Smokin’ Joey, Sea Battle, Dr
Doute’s, Precedence, Carrara, Extra Zero, Mr Baritone,
Playwright, Status Symbol, La Rocket and Epic Dragon.
Jungle Ruler is by Danehill’s classy and speedy son
Lion Hunter who sadly died young after siring just six
crops. 380 of his 529 starters (a high 71.8% strike rate)
were winners.
Lion Hunter’s entire career was a case of what might
have been with the grey racing just eight times - winning
three races by a space (including his Eagle Farm debut by
a stunning ten lengths) and finishing second in the Gr.1
Galaxy (1100m) and the Gr.3 Sir Rupert Steele Stakes
(1200m).
Seventeen of Lion Hunter’s sons and daughters were
stakes winners including the Group One sprinters Gold
Edition (Ascot Vale Stakes, Manikato Stakes) and Lovely
Jubly (TJ Smith Classic, QTC Sires’ Produce Stakes) and
the Group winners Chinchilla Rose, Barbaricus, Street
Smart, Ferocity, Rampant Lion and the excellent broodmare Leone Chiara.
Jungle Ruler is out of the two times winning Zeditave
One of Jungle Ruler’s impressive foals
(sire of 36 stakes winners) mare Calista whose grandam
Lacovia won twice at Group One level in Europe - the
French Oaks and the Prix Saint Alary. A highly successful broodmare who produced five winners, she was well
represented by the two times Gr.1 winning sprinter
Tobougg (Prix de la Salamandre, Dewhurst Stakes) and
the Listed winner Otavalo.
And the late Zeditave is doing a great job as a broodmare sire with 36 stakes winners including the successful
stallion Reset (sire of 30 stakes winners including the
Group One gallopers Rebel Raider, Fawkner, Pinker
Pinker and Set Square), the Hong Kong champion Sacred
Kingdom and VRC Oaks winner Set Square (who boasts
a 3 X 2 cross of Zeditave).
Also grandam of the Japanese dual Gr.2 winner Meisho
Odo, Lacovia is out of a half-sister to the Gr.1 sprinter
Miswaki (Prix de la Salamandre) - a highly successful
sire of 94 stakes winners including the big race winners
Black Tie Affair, Misil, Urban Sea, Marvelous Crown,
Kistena, Playlist, Etoile Montante, Papal Power, Daylight
Come, Waki River, Misty Hour, Bachelor Duke, In My
Heart and Umatilla who enjoyed good success - siring 34
stakes winners - during his Victorian stud career.
Canadian multiple stakes winner Littlemiss Allison is
line-bred to Jungle Ruler’s fifth dam Hopespringseternal
- dam of Miswaki - so daughters of Umatilla look an
interesting match for him.

here’s been both quality
and quantity on show with
Kaphero’s initial crops to
race, the Riverdene Stud stallion
quick to sire offspring with the same
propensity he himself showed during a memorable career on the track.
One of the most precocious juveniles of his generation, Kaphero
trained on to become a highly talented and consistent open sprinter. And
the early signs of his stud career give
every indication that a good percentage of his progeny are inheriting the
very same admirable attributes.
When it comes to quality, look no
further than the brilliant Singapore
sprinter Super Winner as an example
of Kaphero’s ability to sire a star
runner. A member of his sire’s second crop to race, the rising 5-yearold has posted 10 wins and six placings from his first 17 starts in the
Lion City, so far earning his lucky
connections over SGP$870,000 in
prizemoney.
Super Winner recently won the
SGP$125,000 Royal Turf Club Of
Thailand Trophy Kranji Stakes A
(1100m) before an equally stunning
victory in the SGP$125,000 Hello
Zurich Stakes (1200m).
So impressive have been his performances, Super Winner is officially recognized as the highest rated 4year-old to have competed in
Singapore this current season.
Allocated a figure of 104, the talented son of Kaphero is comfortably
clear of any other horse of the same
age and also is within striking distance of the best older gallopers in
the region - fellow Australian-breds
Zac Spirit, Emperor Max and
Stepitup included.
In terms of quantity, Kaphero’s
number of individual winners has
already reached 83, this number
equating to over 59 percent winners-

to-runners.
The stallion’s more recent representatives include metropolitan winners in Melbourne, Adelaide and
Perth, where Jennyfromtheblock,
Showpero, Patch Hero and Pop Hero
have all enhanced their sire’s reputation in three different States.
With eight wins and over $247,000
in earnings, Jennyfromtheblock best
illustrates the type of runner broodmare owners can expect to breed by
sending a mare to Kaphero. A noted
winner of a MVRC Jeep 55 Second
Challenge Heat staged at Moonee
Valley this season, the seasoned race-
mare has scored on three occasions
as a 5-year-old after first breaking
through for her maiden success as a
juvenile in July 2013.
Besides Super Winner and
Jennyfromtheblock, winners of 10
and eight races respectively, other
multiple winners sired by Kaphero
include the likes of Tankster (7 wins),
the aforementioned Pop Hero (6
wins), Intention and Manchero (both
5 wins), as well as the four-time winners Just Kappy, All About Rhythm,
You Will Be Queen, Barcode, The
Terricks and Stingray, a Groupplacegetter in his 3-year-old season.

mmediate sire-sons of the
mighty Danehill (USA) are
growing fewer and fewer by
each breeding season. Riverdene
Stud provides direct access to a quality one in Strada, a dual stakes winning sprinter and proven sire of
black-type winners.
Strada’s two Listed stakes victories over 1100 metres - and a Group
1 AJC The Galaxy fourth at the same
distance - established the brilliant
speedster as one of Danehill’s
swiftest sons. Since being at stud
however, the Riverdene Stud stallion
has exhibited far more versatility by
siring stock capable of winning over
a comprehensive range of distances.
Two star runners for the consistent
stallion that illustrate this point are
the middle-distance black-type performers Hioctane, a Group winner
and Group 1 Derby runner-up, and
Lucky And Wealthy, the multiple
Listed Race winner in Macau.
Hioctane and Lucky And Wealthy
have a combined 21 victories to their
collective name over distances ranging from 1600m to 2050m in the first
instance, and 1100m to 1800m in the
second. Further examples of Strada’s
ability to sire progeny equipped to
perform over middle and staying distances include Mister John, a stakes
winner in Tasmania at 1600m, and
Gold Broker, winner of the prestigious WATC Melvista Stakes over
2200m in Perth.
Hioctane, Lucky And Wealthy,
Mister John and Gold Broker are
amongst 10 stakes horses and 137
individual winners sired by Strada. A
quiet achiever in the Australian stallion ranks, the Riverdene Stud stallion
now also boasts progeny earnings
bordering on the $10 million mark.
One prominent bloodstock identity
to have taken notice of Strada’s
achievements is Louis Le Metayer.

colt offered at the 2016 Inglis Classic
Yearling Sale (Summer Book) earlier
this year. He is understood to have
bought it with a view to the youngster possibly campaigning in Southeast Asia later in his racing career.
Besides the aforementioned Lucky
And Wealthy, it is worth knowing that
Strada has supplied more than just
one high-class performer in Macau
and enjoys a favourable reputation in
the region. The stallion’s stud record
also boasts the multiple Macau stakes
placegetter Luenyat Blackberry, as
well as winners in Hong Kong (3),
Korea (3), Malaysia (3), Singapore
(1) and the Philippines (1).
Despite his feats overseas, Strada’s
stud profile has essentially been built
on the consistency of his results on
the domestic front, and especially in
his home State of New South Wales.
At the time of writing, BOBS prizemoney earned by his offspring this
current racing season compares more
than favourably with any contemporary stallion standing in the Riverina.
The added attraction of Strada being
one of the last few remaining siresons of Danehill at stud should again
see him well supported by the region’s
breeders this coming season.

ongolian Khan, the first horse in history to
win the Group 1 ATC Australian Derby,
Group 1 New Zealand Derby and Group 1
Caulfield Cup will stand at the ‘stallion-making’ nursery
Windsor Park Stud this spring.
New Zealand’s Horse Of The Year and Champion 3YO,
Mongolian Khan was a multiple Group 1 winner of eight
races from 1400m to 2400m, winning in excess of $4
million in prizemoney and the first since the champion
Bonecrusher in 1986 to win the New Zealand DerbyATC Australian Derby double.
Following his Caulfield Cup victory Mongolian Khan
achieved a high Timeform Rating of 126, elevating him
to the highest rated colt of his generation with only the
freakish racemare Winx (128) receiving a higher rating in
the 2016 4YO category.
The handsome entire has gained immense exposure due
to being a high profile trailblazer for the initial investment into the New Zealand Racing Industry by the Inner
Mongolia Rider Horse Group.
“Windsor Park are delighted to have purchased 50% of
the champion racehorse Mongolian Khan from the Inner
Mongolia Rider Horse Group who will retain the other
half,” said Windsor Park owner Rodney Schick.
“Their President Mr Lin Lang is a passionate supporter
of the New Zealand Racing Industry and will be backing
Mongolian Khan at stud with a number of high quality
broodmares which he is currently in the process of securing.”
“We have enjoyed great success standing Derby winners like High Chaparral and Montjeu at Windsor Park
and with his race performance and pedigree we think
Mongolian Khan ticks all the right boxes,” concluded
Schick.
With six wins in Group or Listed company, including
Group 1 races in Australia as both a 3YO and 4YO,
Mongolian Khan is understandably held in very high
regard by his champion trainer Murray Baker.
“With his speed and ability to run fast sectionals
Mongolian Khan ranks with the best racehorses I have
trained, as his outstanding record would suggest,” commented Baker.
“He’s got the looks and was a very sound racehorse
who was blessed with a great action and temperament.”

Holy Roman Emperor’s 55 stakes winners include
Hong Kong Horse Of The Year, Designs On Rome and

Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, England, France
and the United States.
Mongolian Khan is out of the top-class producer
Centafit, the dam of two Group One winners (Mongolian
Khan and Young Centaur) and a full sister to Group 1
Hong Kong Derby winner Super Fit.
Centafit is a daughter of twice Champion Sire Of
2YO’s and six-times Champion broodmare Sire
Centaine, a Dewar Award winning sire who is broodmare
sire of 114 stakes winners including 25 at Group 1 level.
Mongolian Khan follows in the footsteps of previous
champion sires Star Way, Kaapstad, Volksraad, Montjeu,
Thorn Park and High Chaparral to have been selected to

S
iring horses who show speed and heart,
O’Lonhro is doing the job as an owner/breeder stallion, his progeny bearing his imposing
mark and improving as they mature.
“His progeny are just runners,” Larneuk Stud’s Neville
Murdoch said, “they try hard and find the line well.”
From his first 57 runners and earnings over $827,000,
O’Lonhro has been represented by 24 winners (12 of
which have already gone on to record further wins)
including the promising gallopers Lirabird, Beau
Padrille, Je Suis Prest, Social Media, Big Boy Jackie,
Mamzelle Tess, Meteor’s Man, O’Lonera, Zeusman,
Vella Lonchick and Big Reel, who is leading the way
with four wins including two consecutive victories in
May and June at Geelong.
A horse who showed tremendous talent on the track
and who has let down into a magnificent stallion built
very much in the mould of his very good looking sire,
O’Lonhro was a $220,000 Magic Millions yearling
trained by the Hawkes family.
In winning the Gr.2 Chelmsford Stakes (1600m) in
record time, O’Lonhro added his name to an impressive
honour roll, his own sire winning that race twice whilst
others to have claimed it include Might And Power,
Eremein, Intergaze, Juggler, Filante, Campaign King,
Kingston Town, Emancipation, Tulloch, Delta,
Bernborough and the legendary Phar Lap.
Also a close second to Trusting in the Gr.2 Warwick
Stakes (1400m), O’Lonhro stands at an imposing
16.2hh. Strong and muscular with good bone, he has
scope and length, a broad hindquarter, an impressive
sloping shoulder, a kind and intelligent eye and great
presence.
His sire Lonhro (who stands for $88,000 in 2016) is a
similar horse and what a stallion he is proving to be represented by 60 stakes winners including the star
Pierro (who at a fee of $77,000 has served 559 mares in
his first three years at stud), the recently retired Golden
Rose winner Exosphere and fellow big race winners
Benfica, Denman, Bounding, Mental and Beaded.
O’Lonhro is a son of the wonderful mare Mamzelle
Pedrille - winner of 11 races, three at Group level and
four in Listed company.
Her dam is the multiple city winner Sister Pedrille great grandam of the Gr.3 winning speedster and popular
young stallion I Am Invincible who is in great demand
having sired 12 stakes winners including the Group One
sprinter Brazen Beau. In fact such is his success that his
original $11,000 fee rose to $27,500 then to $55,000 with
the ‘book full’ sign already up for this season.
This is a prolific winning family, one with considerable history behind it, the legendary Flight - dual W.S
Cox Plate winner - also hailing from it.
And O’Lonhro’s ancestress is the acclaimed matriarch
Chelandry whose descendants include the successful
stallions Anabaa, Zeditave, Heroic, Wrack, Jetball,
Never Say Die, Magpie, Bellotto, Pitskelly, Shadeed,
Clarion, Traghetto, Forty Niner and High Chaparral.

one of his new boys on the block is
the well related Outreach who did not get to
fulfill his considerable potential after going

Having trialled impressively at Rosehill in
January last year, the Snowden family trained
colt was sent out a 2/1 favourite in the Gr.3
Canonbury Stakes (1100m), a race in which he
showed good natural pace to lead.
Despite being injured during the race,
Outreach held on gamely for second by 0.8L,

most prestigious three-year-old
race, the Epsom Derby, to stand at
Coolmore Stud in Ireland, Pour Moi is already
known to New Zealand breeders having twice
shuttled in 2012 and 2013. And, on the back of
good results at the sales and promising results
on the track, the son of Montjeu returns to
Windsor Park Stud this spring.
A horse who raced just five times, Pour Moi
created a fine impression in a short time.
A winner at Longchamp at his second start,
the Andre Fabre trained colt was quickly up in
class, placing in the Gr.3 Prix de Force at his
third start before a dominant victory in the
Gr.2 Prix Greffulhe.
On the strength of that victory Pour Moi was Sacred Elixir (Z Purton) winning the 2016 $600,000 Group 1 J.J. Atkins
sent out second favourite in the Epsom Derby (1600m) at Eagle Farm becoming sire Pour Moi’s first ever Group 1 winner.
and a strong win it was, the bay turning last into the Grand de Prix Saint Cloud, the King George VI & Queen
straight, getting into the clear and charging to the line Elizabeth Stakes and the Gold Cup.
An outstanding sire of 121 stakes winners, Montjeu has

Hurricane Run, Camelot, Joshua Tree, Authorized,
which he was favourite.
Making an encouraging start to his stud career in both Scorpion and Motivator.
Montjeu has also made his mark in this part of the

crop has produced the Group Three winner Only Mine, world, siring the 2012 Melbourne Cup winner Green
the Listed winner Freedom Bell and the stakes placed Moon and fellow Group One winners Wall Street, Roman

winners Magic Mystery and Diamonds Pour Moi.
And the timing of Pour Moi’s return to Windsor Park The Offer and of course Tavistock, one of Australasia’s
could not have been scripted any better with his New hottest young stallions.
Pour Moi’s dam Gwynn is by Shirley Heights’ French

Hogan due to its special significance for the New Amongst that impressive tally are 44 Group One winners
including High Chaparral who proved to be one of
Zealand racing and breeding industry.
“To me that two-year-old (Sacred Elixir) has quality Sadler’s Wells’ best southern hemisphere representatives.
Gwynn is doing a great job at stud, also producing the
stayer written all over him. With the remarkable season
that Tavistock has had and now another son of Montjeu dual Group Three winner Gagnoa and the Listed winner

Bay Stallion 5 October 2012 16 HH
aulfield Guineas winners have proven to be
extremely popular at stud, recent examples
including All Too Hard, Shooting To Win,
and Starspangledbanner who have all served strong
books of mares. And little wonder with the Classic mile
having produced a number of successful stallions including Lonhro, Show A Heart, Redoute’s Choice, Grosvenor
and Luskin Star.
It is often a race in which a fast juvenile gets to prove
his worth over a little longer and good form over sprinting trips up to the 1600m is something the average broodmare owner loves to see.
Which is why the newly retired Press Statement ticks
several boxes, the handsome bay outstanding at two and
three - heading to Vinery Stud as the winner of six of his
11 starts and over $1.8 million in earnings.
Unbeaten in three two-year-old starts, the Chris Waller
trained colt debuted with a dominant Canterbury victory
(1100m) in April last year, second up saluting as an oddson favourite at Rosehill (1350m) before stepping straight
up to Group One level in the J.J Atkins Stakes (1600m)
at Doomben.
Putting on display his turn of foot in that race, Press
Statement had his trainer excited - “he won that easily,”
he enthused. “I trained Zoustar and Brazen Beau who
both ran second in this race. I believe that Press
Statement is a better horse than they were at the same
stage - he fits the mould of a super-star colt.”
Freshened for a spring three-year-old campaign, Press
Statement split Exosphere and Holler in the Run To The
Rose (1200m) before a close up fifth in Exosphere’s Gr.1
Golden Rose (1400m).
And after that he went bang, winning the Gr.2 Stan Fox
Stakes (1500m) by two lengths and the Gr.1 Caulfield
Guineas (1600m) by 13⁄4 lengths - working across from a
wide gate to lead and powering to the line.
Quickly into form in the summer, Press Statement
proved 21⁄4 lengths too strong for Le Romain in the Gr.2
Hobartville Stakes (1400m), before a luckless run in the
Gr.1 Randwick Guineas (1600m), when beaten narrowly
by that same horse, after being held up for a run.
Taking on the older horses at his next and final two
starts, Press Statement was third in Winx’s Gr.1 George
Ryder Stakes (1500m) and a tough fifth in the Gr.1 All
Aged Stakes (1400m), after sitting wide.
Whilst saddened to see him leave the stable, Waller is

excited to see what Press Statement can do at stud - “he has
a wonderful attitude and was obviously a great racehorse.
I am sure he will pass on those qualities to his progeny.”
Vinery Stud’s Peter Orton agrees... “with his Group
One record and physique we believe he has all the necessary attributes to succeed at stud,” adding that he expects
Press Statement to prove “the Hunter Valley’s most desirable first season stallion.”
A grandson of the champion stallion Fastnet Rock,
Press Statement is the first Group One winner for the
Gr.3 sprinter Hinchinbrook, brother in blood to another
champion sire in Snitzel - sire of 38 stakes winners.
Also sire of the star WA filly Whispering Brook (the
first two-year-old since Bomber Bill to make a clean
sweep of Perth’s major juvenile contests), Hinchinbrook
made such an encouraging start to his stud career that in
his fifth year at stud last spring he served his biggest ever
book of 158 mares.
Press Statement is a half-brother to Pressday who won
the same Brisbane Group One two-year-old race (then the
TJ Smith Classic) five years previously - a fine achievement for their dam, the nine times winner Kaaptive
Empress. Paying a return visit to Hinchinbrook last
spring - having produced a full sister to Press Statement
in early September, Kaaptive Empress is a daughter of
the US stakes winner Nile Empress whose daughters
have fared well at stud. Also the grandam of the New
Zealand Group One winner The Mighty Lions (in turn
dam of the Gr.3 winner Vaquera) and the Listed winner
Dinner Date, Nile Empress hails from the family of the
great broodmare Hasili.

Bay Stallion 23 September 2002 16.1 HH
hirteen years after the death of the mighty
Danehill (sire of an outstanding 348 stakes
winners including 89 individual Group One
winners) we are still seeing his influence on racetracks
every day all around the world - and breeders are as keen
as ever to utilize the services of his sons.
And they don’t come much better bred than Prince
Arthur - named in honour of Think Big Stud owner Dato’
Tan Chin Nam’s late son, Dato’ Arthur Tan Boon Shih - a
regally named and royally related Danehill stallion from
a great international family that has enjoyed plenty of
success in this part of the world.
Two times successful at Listed level and stakes placed
on a further five occasions, the Bart Cummings trained
Prince Arthur really struck form in early 2007 - recording
consecutive easy wins in the Listed Frank Underwood
Cup (2000m) and the Listed Australia Day Cup (2400m).
His win in the latter was a particularly impressive one,
Darren Beadman patient after being held up at a vital
stage. Once clear Prince Arthur sprinted well - able to
win the 2400m event by nearly five lengths.
Second in the 2007 Gr.2 Chairman’s Handicap (2600m)
to future Gr.1 Sydney Cup winner No Wine No Song and
a close up third in the 2009 Lord Mayor’s Cup (1900m),
Prince Arthur retired as the winner of five of his 26 starts
with over $300,000 in stakes.
Bred on the highly successful Danehill/The Minstrel
cross, Prince Arthur is one of nine winners produced by
the unraced Palace Music mare Scribbling.
A Gr.1 Champion Stakes winning successful stallion,
Palace Music was well represented by 32 stakes winners
including the superstar Cigar and the wonderful local galloper Naturalism.
Palace Music has also done the job as a broodmare sire,
daughters of the dashing chestnut to date producing 57
stakes winners including the Group One winners
Palentino, Railings, Sound Action, Choice Bro and
Insouciant.
Also dam of the South African Gr.2 winner Perana, the
local Gr.2 winner Prince Of War and the stakes placed

Handicap-Gr.1 winning successful stallion Danasinga

(sire of 12 stakes winners).
Princess Tracy’s daughters and granddaughters have
continued on the good work of this prolific family - her
descendants including the fantastic mare Typhoon Tracy.
A mare who sadly passed away producing her first foal,
Typhoon Tracy was a six times Group One winner
(Coolmore Classic, Myer Classic, C.F Orr Stakes twice,
Futurity Stakes, Queen Of The Turf Stakes) crowned
2009/10 Australian Horse Of The Year.
The Gr.1 TJ Smith Stakes (1200m) winner Master Of
Design (who has sired two stakes performers from his
first crop of 2YOs) and high class South African galloper
Suntagonal (Gr.1 Premier’s Champion Stakes) also hail
from this family as do the Group winners Shaft, Happy
Morning and Fatal Attraction as well as the Listed winners Red Element, Cantonese, Assail and Raffles Pegasus.
Prince Arthur has served only small books to date but
already his first progeny are showing promise with eight
of his sons and daughters gracing the winner’s circle for
14 wins and 25 placings with total earnings over
$355,000. One of which is the talented Singapore based
Smart Lad, a stakes placed four-year-old and winner of
three including prizemoney of SGP$257,912/A$85,250
while closer to home Our Blazing Lady - won two in a
row over 1600m and 1700m - earlier this year.

hat if one of Australian breeding’s best kept
secrets is sitting right under your nose? Sir
Patrick Hogan’s Tavistock received over 250
nominations before the end of May at a service fee of
NZ$65,000+gst. The son of Montjeu had a stellar season
led by the Gr 1 Victoria Derby and Gr 1 Rosehill Guineas
winner Tarzino. Not to be outdone Werther also won the
Gr 1 HKJC Queen Elizabeth II Cup and Gr 1 Hong Kong
Derby. Then there’s Tivago who claimed the Gr 1
Australian Derby and Volkstok’n’barrell is already a
triple Gr 1 winner plus placings in both the Gr 1 New
Zealand and Gr 1 Australian Derbies.
So why so much talk about a hot sire standing in New
Zealand who already has the book full sign up for 2016?
Because breeders can access a similarly remarkable
bloodline for just $6,600 inc GST right here on the outskirts of Sydney. And he comes with the greatest seal of
approval one could ever hope to find - James
Bartholomew ‘Bart’ Cummings.
Like Sir Patrick has found with Tavistock he has a great
affinity with Zabeel mares. Two of Tavistock’s three Gr 1
winners this season plus the Gr 2 winner Hasselhoof, are
from Zabeel sired mares. The legend JB Cummings - a
great scholar of pedigrees and bloodlines - already suspected this back in 2012 when he sent the stakes placed
Miss Meliss - by Zabeel - to Roman Emperor and she visited him for three straight seasons. The second yearling
from this mating - a bay/brown colt - just sold for $42,000
- almost four times his original service fee of $11,000.
And this could be a world record - from a first crop of
just nine foals - Roman Emperor to date has had four
starters for three winners - 75% winners/runners - with
four wins and three placings - one winning at Randwick
appropriately on Bart’s Day - Melbourne Cup day!
What do champion breedshaping sires Danehill,
Redoute’s Choice and Zabeel all have in common? They
are pure breeding bays. So too is Roman Emperor.
The influence of Danehill (USA) upon world thoroughbred breeding in modern times is unmatched except
for the deeds of one stallion - Sadler’s Wells (USA).
Sadler’s Wells was Champion Sire in Great Britain &
Ireland 14 times, as well as Champion Sire in France
three times and North America once. He has produced 323
stakes winners and 80 individual Gr 1/Grade 1 winners.
The highest-rated racehorse to have ever graced the turf by
Sadler’s Wells is Montjeu (Ire). It is a notable distinction
when you compare some of the champions Sadler’s Wells
has sired including Galileo and High Chaparral (sire of
Standing at Princes Farm, NSW
Bart’s Champion and 10-time Gr 1 winner So You Think).
Montjeu was supremely dominant on the racetrack, winning 11 times from 16 career starts (twice at two including
an 1800m event) - six at Gr 1 level including the famed Gr
1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe - a race only six years later he
also sired the winner, Hurricane Run.
In 2011 Montjeu sired 15 individual Group/Graded
winners in the northern hemisphere (which was the equal
of Galileo who dominated 2016 Royal Ascot taking his
stakeswinners tally to 222) including eight individual Gr
1 winners. In 2012 he equalled a 77-year record by siring
a fourth Gr 1 Epsom Derby winner (2012-Camelot, 2011Pour Moi, 2007-Authorized, 2005-Motivator).
His 31 Gr 1 winners include recent 2016 Gr 1 Sydney
Cup winner Gallante, 2008 and 2009 Gr 1 Australian
Derby winners Nom Du Jeu and Roman Emperor, 2012
Gr 1 Melbourne Cup winner Green Moon, 2014 Gr 1
Sydney Cup winner The Offer, 2010 Gr 1 Emirates Stakes
winner Wall Street, 2009 Gr 1 Metropolitan winner Speed
Gifted and New Zealand Gr 1 winning sprinter Tavistock.
The dam of Roman Emperor - Gussy Godiva (NZ) by
Last Tycoon (IRE) - is a winner of four and was named
2009 New Zealand Broodmare of the Year. Also dam of
triple stakes winner and Gr 1 placed Rios (NZ) by
Hussonet (USA), Gussy Godiva is a half-sister to Black
Mamba (NZ) - the winner of five US stakes races (incl.
Gr 1) and over $1.1million. This is also the family of prolific stakes performers Tully Thunder, Hong Kong superstar Glorious Days, Fleur De’here, Spurcent, All Legal,
Thunder Lady, Torio’s Quest, Fleur De Chine, Sufficient,
One Love, Belcentra, Bangalore Bullet, Bippo No
Bungus and Sandy’s Pleasure.
With such a blueblood pedigree it is no wonder Roman
Emperor excelled on the racetrack under the guidance of
legendary trainer Bart Cummings earning over $1.4m.
His win in the 2009 $1.6m Gr 1 Australian Derby
(2400m) was extraordinary - he was simply superior for
his age group, outstaying all competitors in a true test of
stamina and sustained speed. Equally impressive was his
performance in the same year to finish runner-up in the
toughest 2400m handicap in the world - the 2009 $2.5m
Gr 1 Caulfield Cup - to his stablemate and 2008 Gr 1
Melbourne Cup winner Viewed - rated by his trainer as
one of the greatest stayers he ever trained.
Bred in New Zealand - just like 11 of Bart Cumming’s
12 Melbourne Cup winners have a NZ prefix in one of
their first two generations - Roman Emperor could very
well be the find of the season for $6,600 inc GST.

Bay Stallion 17 September 2011 15.3 1⁄2 HH
y a champion stallion from a world renowned
family, Arrowfield Stud’s first season sire
Scissor Kick, is bound to prove popular with
broodmare owners.
A $200,000 Easter graduate bred by Jonathan Munz’s
GSA Bloodstock, the Paul Messara trained Scissor Kick
raced twice as a two-year-old, at his second start easily
winning a 1250m contest at Canterbury by three lengths.
So impressive was he connections decided to immediately test him in stronger company and, as a newly turned
three-year-old, he was too strong in the Listed Rosebud
(1200m) at Randwick.
The Gr.3 Up And Coming Stakes (1300m) - a race that
has been won by the likes of Fastnet Rock, Exceed And
Excel, Snitzel, Testa Rossa, General Nediym, Mahogany
and Marscay - was his next assignment and he was game
defeating stable mate Panzer Division.
Tackling a strong edition of the Gr.1 Golden Rose
(1400m) at his next start, Scissor Kick had no luck from
an outside barrier, gallant in defeat he was only just beaten by Hallowed Crown after racing four wide throughout.
Despite faring better in the barrier draw in the Gr.2 Stan
Fox Stakes (1500m), Scissor Kick again had to endure a
tough run, doing a good job to fight on for second behind
Shooting To Win.
Unplaced but far from disgraced in Brazen Beau’s Gr.1
Coolmore Stud Stakes (1200m) on Derby Day, Scissor
Kick was back in form, kicking off his summer campaign
with a soft victory in the Gr.3 Eskimo Prince Stakes
(1200m) before an unlucky close-up fifth in the Gr.2
Hobartville Stakes (1400m) when held-up for a run late
in the race.
Taking on the older horses next Scissor Kick finished a
close up fourth (1L) in the Gr.1 All Aged Stakes (1400m)
- the highest rated Group 1 race of the Sydney autumn
carnival by Timeform Australia’s Gary Crispe - behind
eventual 2014/15 Australian Horse of the Year Dissident,
Wandjina and Chautauqua and ahead of Group 1 winners
Lucky Hussler, Shooting To Win and Terravista.
Scissor Kick was slowly away and held up for runs
when a somewhat unlucky fifth at his next start in Hot
Snitzel’s Gr.1 BTC Cup (1200m) at Doomben.
Racing just a couple more times both in Group 1 company, before an eight-length Open trial win (1200m) at
Warwick Farm in March, Scissor Kick was retired to stud
as the winner of four and second twice of his 13 starts and
over $530,000 in stakes.
One of the great Redoute’s Choice’s 134 stakes win-
ners, Scissor Kick
is out of the
imported Quest
For Fame mare
Back Pass.
A successful sire
of 43 stakes winners, the Epsom
Derby
winning
Quest For Fame
has also made his
mark as a broodmare sire with his daughters producing 51 stakes winners
including the Gr.1 winners Tavistock, Norzita,
Complacent, Skilled, African Rose and Erewhon.
Bred on a 4 X 4 cross of the legendary Nijinsky II,
Scissor Kick is a full brother to the stakes winning consistent stallion Sharkbite, whilst his dam is a half-sister to
the triple Group winner Three Valleys.
Scissor Kick’s stakes placed grandam Skiable is a halfsister to the Listed winner Hasili who has proven herself
to be an all-time great broodmare - represented by the
Group One performers Champs Elysees (sire of 10 stakes
winners including the Ascot Gold Cup winner Trip To
Paris who ran fourth in last year’s Melbourne Cup),
Banks Hill (in turn dam of the Group One filly
Romantica), Intercontinental, Cacique (sire of three
Group One winners from just 40 runners) and Heat Haze.
Whilst not successful at Group One level - though five
times placed at that elite level - the three times Group winner Dansili is Hasili’s most influential son having sired
109 stakes winners including 19 Group One winners.
Skiable is also a half-sister to the Listed winner Arrive,
dam of the Group One winner Promised Lead.
Meanwhile, another of her half-sisters Dissemble produced the triple Group One winner Leroidesanimaux, sire
of the Kentucky Derby hero Animal Kingdom who also
calls Arrowfield home.
This is a prolific black type family that has been producing quality performers for generations with Scissor
Kick’s Group One winning fourth dam Sookera producing three stakes winners including the Group One sprinter So Factual.
Scissor Kick is described by Paul Messara as “a genuine racehorse with a fantastic temperament. He was a
beautiful horse to work with and he was very unlucky not
to win a Group One. He is a strikingly attractive colt who
was always the pick of the mounting yard.”

P
roving to be one of Queensland’s most popular
young stallions - serving 301 mares in his first
two years at Eureka Stud - Spirit Of Boom is
impressing breeders with the quality of his foals, a number noting that he has sired their mare’s best ever foal.
Which assures Spirit Of Boom another year of great
support. And Eureka studmaster Scott McAlpine is justifiably thrilled.
“One of the best attributes of his progeny I have noticed
is they are a thinking foal,” enthused Scott. “He has
stamped them with an education if you like. They look
like early runners, they have his powerful hindquarters. I
couldn’t be happier with them. Anyone who has seen
them is equally impressed.”
A real favourite of the Tony Gollan stable, Spirit Of
Boom was a bob of the head second in Listed company
(1000m) at his two-year-old debut in late 2009.
It did not take long for the handsome dark bay entire to
break through, creating a fine impression at start number
two with a seven length victory in the Magic Millions
Prelude (900m). After striking severe interference when
strongly fancied in the Magic Millions (1200m), Spirit Of
Boom bounced back winning his next two including the
Listed Ken Russell Memorial (1200m). And what a ride
his owners enjoyed since then, Spirit Of Boom racing a
total of 52 times, winning nine races (900m-1400m) and
figuring in the placings on a further 20 occasions.
The winner of over $2.4 million, he won at the elite

level in two states – taking out the Gr.1 William Reid
Stakes (1200m) at Moonee Valley and nosing out his halfbrother Temple Of Boom in the Gr.1 Doomben 10,000
(1350m) at his penultimate start, retiring after a gallant
Gr.1 Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) fourth (conceding
those ahead of him between 2 and 7kg).
Spirit Of Boom is a son of Sequalo, who passed away
last year. A member of the Thatching line via Rustic
Amber, Sequalo was unlucky not to win a Group One,
successful at Group level on four occasions whilst racing
during a particularly strong sprinting era.
At stud Sequalo proved both classy and reliable siring
a massive 693 winners with an outstanding winners-torunners strike rate of over 69%.
Twice Champion Queensland sire, twenty of his sons
and daughters have been successful at stakes level
including the juvenile Group One winner Star Shiraz and
the multiple stakes winners Bold Glance, Burdekin
Blues, Cariad, Missy Longstocking, Sequential Charm,
Tierqualo and Wolfe Dreams.
Spirit Of Boom is out of the remarkable broodmare
Temple Spirit - twice Champion Queensland Broodmare
of the Year (2011/12, 2013/14) - a stakes placed city winner who sadly died after producing just two foals.

Chestnut Stallion 28 September 2007 16 HH
ne of the most brilliant winners of the Blue
Diamond Stakes - charging home from the
rear to win the Gr.1 juvenile contest in stunning fashion, Star Witness is making his mark at stud.
The Champion Australian 2YO and 3YO colt of his era
is the sire of 54 winners from his first couple of crops,
represented by 10 stakes performers including the Listed
Dequetteville Stakes (1050m) winner Pearl Star, the
Listed Fernhill Handicap (1600m) winner The Barrister
and the Listed Mitchell McKenzie Stakes (1200m) winner Well Sprung.
Currently leading second season sire in Australia with
45 winners, Star Witness has also been well represented
in South Africa with the impressive recent two-year-old
winner Lord Balmoral, winning his maiden (1200m) at
Kenilworth by four lengths.
Also the sire of the promising gallopers Serenade,
Kimberley Star, Mella Maria, Star Turn, Stellar Collision,
Lineker and Typhoon Witness, Star Witness is a particuarly handsome son of the globe-trotting multiple Gr.1
winner Starcraft from the Nureyev branch of the
Northern Dancer sire line.
Star Witness is understandably best remembered for his
Gr.1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) victory, one which
came at his third start on the back of victories at Moonee
Valley (Tatts Group Plate, 1000m) and Flemington (Listed
Talindert Stakes, 1200m). Getting back from a tricky gate
he sprouted wings out wide with his trainer Danny
O’Brien on the day saying that “it was very exciting.”
“Not much went right, he wobbled on the corner and
was last when they straightened. But we have a lot of
confidence in this colt, he does things that only really top
class horses can do.”
Again in Group One form at three, Star Witness won
the Gr.1 Coolmore Stud Stakes (1200m) by two lengths
before a gutsy two length second (Ortensia third) to
Black Caviar in the Gr.1 Patinack Farm Classic (1200m).
The following winter venturing to the UK, Star Witness
did not manage a win but in three starts overseas was in
the placings twice - finishing second to Prohibit in the
Gr.1 King’s Stand Stakes (1006m) and third behind
Society Rock in the Gr.1 Golden Jubilee Stakes (1207m).
Star Witness’s sire Starcraft also raced well on the
international stage, winning five Group One races in
three countries.

Successful at half of his 22 starts, amassing over $2.8
million in stakes, Starcraft was seen at his best winning
the Prix du Moulin de Longchamp, the Chipping Norton
Stakes, the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (in a memorable
battle with Dubawi), the Mudgway Stakes and the AJC
Derby.
Crowned the Champion 3YO in Australia, Starcraft who now stands in Victoria - has sired 16 stakes winners
with Star Witness his best. A dual Group One winner of
the Captain Cook Stakes and the Levin Classic, New
Zealand mare We Can Say It Now is his other topliner and
he is also the sire of the Group winners Hallowell Belle,
Crafty Irna, Lunar Rise, Havana, Do You Think and
Starcheeka as well as the Listed winners Celebrity Girl,
Ain’tnofallenstar, Baschar, Perfect Punch, Singapore
Sling, Mr Vadim, The Drunk Bird and Don’t Tell Mary.
A half-brother to the triple Gr.3 winner Nostradamus
who retires to stud this spring, Star Witness is out of the
Gr.3 winning Lion Hunter mare Leone Chiara whose dam
is the excellent broodmare Chiara - dam of the Group
winners Ferocity and Chinchilla Rose and the Listed winner Chiaramonte. The lightly raced Lion Hunter, a fast
and classy son of Danehill, did a great job during too
short a time at stud - represented by 17 stakes winners
including the Gr.1 fillies Gold Edition and Lovely Jubly.
The latter has contributed to Lion Hunter’s success as a
broodmare sire (nine stakes winners), producing the outstanding sprinter Chautauqua (five Group Ones).

t will not be long until Danehill’s
outstanding son Fastnet Rock
reaches triple figures as a stakes
producing stallion, already 95 of his
sons and daughters successful in black
type company.
And he is already making a name for
himself as a sire of sires which is why
Cornerstone Stud, South Australia is
so happy to be standing his well credentialled son Valentia.
Such a striking yearling was he that
he attracted a winning bid of A$1.35
million at the 2013 Magic Millions,
Valentia raced eight times for the Gai
Waterhouse stable, showing a good
deal of natural ability.
Quickly hitting form, Valentia was a
Randwick winner at just his second
start at two (1200m) and from there he
was quickly up in class - at his next
outing proving too strong for his rivals
in the Gr.2 Skyline Stakes (1200m).
Striking heavy going when unplaced
in the Gr.1 Golden Slipper (1200m),
Valentia was straight back into form at
three, first up finishing second to
Scissor Kick and Panzer Division in
the Gr.3 Up And Coming Stakes (1300m). He was Mister Elegant who between them won 45 races.
This is a multiple black type family, one that has also
arguably unlucky not to have won that race, held up for

Described by Gai Waterhouse as “arguably the best cessful stallions Smokey Eyes, Sovereign Edition, Three

A
Group One winning two-year-old
son of the classy stallion General
Nediym joined the roster of
Christoph Bruechert’s Bombora Downs on
Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula last spring.
And he proved popular with broodmare
owners, serving a strong book of 77 mares
including daughters of Street Cry, Bel Esprit,
Rory’s Jester, Brief Truce, Tale Of The Cat,
Hennessy, Rubiton, Danasinga, Jeune, Testa
Rossa, Flying Spur, Magnus, Belong To Me,
Johannesburg, Reset, Umatilla, Artie
Schiller, Marauding, Bernardini, Statue Of
Liberty, Snitzel and Danehill.
One of the best of New Zealand’s juveniles
of his year, Warhorse (who raced in Australia
as Tougher Than Ever) was a Gr.3 winner of the Eclipse
Stakes (1200m) at only his third start. A few weeks later
third in the Listed Karaka Magic Millions (1200m),
Warhorse was fresh into the Gr.1 Diamond Stakes
(1200m), a race which he won in determined fashion as
favourite. A close-up third in his final juvenile start, going
down in a tight finish in Choice Bro’s Gr.1 Sires’ Produce
Stakes (1400m), Warhorse trained on well as a three-yearold. A second up winner of the Listed Bonecrusher Stakes
(1400m), Warhorse stepped up to the 1600m of the Gr.1
NZ 2000 Guineas and was a gallant and close-up third
(0.5L) behind Sacred Falls who went on to victories in
two Gr.1 Doncaster Handicaps (1600m) and a Gr.1
George Main Stakes (1600m).
Subsequently campaigning in Australia, Warhorse
proved competitive in strong company with three black
type placings; a Gr.2 Apollo Stakes (1400m) second, a
Listed Rowley Mile (1600m) second and a Gr.3 Bill
Ritchie Stakes (1400m) third.
Warhorse is the best performed son of the terrific stallion General Nediym, dual Group One winner of the
Newmarket Handicap and the Lightning Stakes.
A consistent and classy stallion who sired 48 stakes
winners, General Nediym achieved a very high winnersto-runners strike rate of 73.7% with progeny earnings in
excess of $47 million. And his progeny have proven competitive on the tough Asian circuit, winning races in
Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau, Korea and
Japan. Also sire of the Group One mares Regimental Gal
(who like her sire also won the Magic Millions) and Mrs
Onassis (Oakleigh Plate), General Nediym died seven
years ago leaving only a small group of sons at stud - one
of those being the Pago Pago Stakes winner Sidereus
who has made a great start with six debut crop winners.
Warhorse is out of Rathlin Island, daughter of the seven
times Group One winning stallion Giant’s Causeway.
A highly successful stallion with 164 stakes winners
including 32 Group One winners, Giant’s Causeway has
further excelled as a broodmare sire with his daughters to
date producing 58 stakes winners including the Group
One winners Evening Jewel, Verrazano, Planteur, Soft
Falling Rain, Eden’s Moon, Beauty Parlour, Giant
Killing, Escado and Loch Garman.
Rathlin Island is out of the Seattle Slew (sire of 112
stakes winners including 29 Gr.1 winners and dam sire of
210 stakes winners including 29 Gr.1 winners) mare
Storminwinter, dam of five winners including the dual
Gr.2 winner California Dane (Norman Carlyon Stakes,
Moir Stakes) who did a more than decent job at stud despite limited opportunities siring five stakes winners
including the Group One gallopers Rebel Dane and
Platinum Witness.
Storminwinter is a full sister to the Gr.2 winner
Williamstown from a strong American family whose
members include the multiple Group One winner Broad
Brush (outstanding sire of 91 stakes winners including
eight Gr.1 winners) and fellow stakes winners Native
Bombshell, Smart N Fast, Hay Patcher, Turn To Talent,

ith I Am Invincible doing such a great job
- the Gr.3 winner siring twelve stakes winners including Group One galloper Brazen
Beau - it was just a matter of time until an Australian stud
sought out another son of Invincible Spirit.
And that horse is Zebedee who made his debut at
Cornerstone Stud, South Australia last spring, proving
popular serving 99 mares.
Already doing the job in the northern hemisphere,
Zebedee shuttles from Tally-Ho Stud from where he was
the leading first season European sire represented by an
impressive 32 two-year-old winners.
He has since added to that tally with 112 of his sons and
daughters gracing the winner’s circle including the dual
Group winners Ivawood (July Stakes, Richmond Stakes)
and Magical Memory (Abernant Stakes and Duke Of
York Stakes at his two most recent outings in April/May)
and the debut Listed winner Dee Dee D’Or.
Also the sire of the stakes placed winners Parsley,
Manaafidh, Desilva and North Ireland, Zebedee was an
outstanding juvenile who was beaten only once in a
seven start career.
An odds-on favourite winning his first two starts (both
1006m) at Windsor and Ascot by good margins, Zebedee
suffered his only defeat in the Gr.2 Norfolk Stakes
(1006m) - and it was all up from there.
Again odds-on in the Listed Dragon Stakes (1006m) at
Sandown, Zebedee won in easy fashion and three weeks
later he found the line well to win the Gr.3 Molecomb
Stakes (1006m) at Goodwood.
A month later the winner of a Tattersalls race (1207m)
at Newmarket, Zebedee bowed out as a winner of the
Gr.2 Flying Childers Stakes (1006m).
Richard Hughes, who was aboard for each of Zebedee’s
six victories was understandably a big fan of the talented
grey.
“He had super dash and he is explosive,” he enthused “from day one he was our fastest two-year-old.”
And he has been passing that early speed onto his progeny, something which Cornerstone Stud’s Sam Hayes is
well aware of.
“Not since Without Fear have we stood a stallion capable of producing over 30 individual two-year-old winners
in a season,” he said. “Australia lacks locally bred
Classic horses and we have responded with the likes of
Dalakhani and Good Journey however you can’t turn
your back on explosive two-year-old speed and precocity. Zebedee delivers that in spades.”
Zebedee is one of 97 stakes winners sired by the Gr.1
Sprint Cup winner Invincible Spirit who has been well
represented by twelve Group One winners - Moonlight
Cloud, Kingman, Charm Spirit, Yosei, Shalaa, Lawman,
Fleeting Spirit, Hooray, Rosdhu Queen, Mayson,
Territories, Vale Of York and recent 2016 Gr.1 Royal
Ascot King’s Stand Stakes (1005m) winner Profitable.
Zebedee’s dam Cozy Maria is a daughter of the Gr.1
Breeders’ Cup Mile winner Cozzene, sire of 81 stakes
winners including nine Group One winners. He has done
an even better job as a broodmare sire with his daughters
producing 86 stakes winners including the Group One
winners Jackson, Toccet, Distant Way, Isla Bonita,
Pivotal, River’s Prayer, Tangerine Trees, Zaftig, Zo
Impressive and Mach Glory.
Grandam of the German Gr.3 winner Citron Spirit (also
by Invincible Spirit), the two times stakes placed Cozy
Maria is out of a half-sister to the dual Group One winner Miss Alleged (Breeders’ Cup Turf, Hollywood Turf
Cup), the Canadian Gr.3 winner Nancy’s Champion and
the multiple stakes winner Bold Josh.
Other members of this family include the Group One
winners Good Nature and Fort Bird and fellow stakes
winners Orbiston Parva, Carr Heaven, Ms Cruisen’,
Stratoplan, Imperial Bird, Captain Valid, Final
Connection and Dinarobin.
