At War. This Florida-bred mare cost only $32,000 as a yearling and had only one opponent when she gained her only success, in a five-furlong maiden race at Pontefract at two. Despite this seemingly unexceptional background, Family At War has founded an exceptional family, with help from her broodmare daughters Land Army (dam of the top sprinter Lethal Force), Ascot Family (dam of the Prix Robert Papin winner Family One) and Flanders. It has been Flanders, a speedy daughter of Common Grounds, who has made the biggest impact so far. Flanders’s racing career featured a victory in the Weatherbys Super Sprint at two and a short-head second in the King’s Stand Stakes. Flanders has gone on to produce nine winners from ten runners, with several of them being well above average. She got off to a great start with her Sinndar filly Louvain, a Gr3 winner on turf in the USA at two who has notably become the dam of Flotilla, winner of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf and Poule d’Essai des Pouliches. Now Flanders has her own Gr1 winner in G Force, who is the third Gr1-winning descendant of Family At War in the space of three seasons. G Force also represents a triumph for his young sire Tamayuz. When Tamayuz retired to his breeder’s Derrinstown Stud, he didn’t find it easy to win the support of Irish breeders. This reflected the fact that the highlights of his career – Gr1 victories in the Prix Jean Prat and Prix Jacques le Marois – were gained in France. On his only venture to Britain he faded to finish a modest fourth in Raven’s Pass’s Queen Elizabeth II Stakes. Consequently Tamayuz’s first four crops number 63, 62, 25 and 33 foals, but he has shown that he merits much more support. His first crop contained the Group-winning sprinters Sir Prancealot and Thawaany, plus a Gr3 winner in Japan, and G Force comes from the second, which also contains the Group-winning Brown Sugar. Even that very small third crop has already produced two Group-placed juveniles.

In The Wings
The Grosser Preis von Baden was expected to provide Sea The Moon with another easy victory, even though the colt had been rested following his wide-margin victory in the Deutsches Derby. However, the three-year-old couldn’t hold off the year-older Ivanhowe, a Gestut Schlenderhan homebred who had been injured when favourite for the 2013 Deutsches Derby. Already a winner of two prestigious Gr2 events – the Union-Rennen at three and the Gerling-Preis at four – Ivanhowe is proving another fine advertisement for the champion German ten-furlong horse Soldier Hollow. In common with some other good German stallions, this son of In The Wings has been siring much smaller crops than is the norm in Britain and Ireland. Although his initial crop numbered 51 foals, his other crops of racing age contain only 26, 20 and 17 foals. Ivanhowe comes from the 26-strong second crop, which means that Soldier Hollow has sired a major winner in each of his first two crops, as his first crop was headed by Pastorius, winner of the Deutsches Derby and Prix Ganay. Altogether there are four Group winners among the 77 foals in those first two crops. Ivanhowe comes from a family which traces back to Yonne, the 1939 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches winner who was one of the many French horses taken to Germany after the fall of France in 1940. Ivanhowe’s fourth dam, the Birkhahn mare Indra, won the 1965 Preis der Diana for Schlenderhan.
Indra’s similarly-named sister Indira was the dam of Idrissa, a Tamerlane filly who took the 1975 Preis der Diana for Schlenderhan. Ivanhowe’s third dam Indian Pearl also contested the Preis der Diana and failed by only a neck to win the 1978 edition. His dam Indigo Girl also attempted to take the Diana and finished third to Iota, a filly from the Indira branch of the family. 276 LADBROKES ST LEGER STAKES G1 DONCASTER. Sep 13. 3yoc&f. 14f 110yds.

Caulfield on Fiesolana: “She has solid claims to being the best of Aussie Rules’s progeny, which also includes the speedy Dinkum Diamond and the very useful German filly Djumana”
The sires’ championship for 2014 may have developed into a one-horse race, with Galileo having earned at least three times as much as most of his nearest rivals by mid-September, but his stud companion Mastercraftsman enjoyed a magnificent time on September 13, with Kingston Hill winning the St Leger before The Grey Gatsby proved just too strong for Australia in the Irish Champion Stakes. The end result was that the eight-year-old son of Danehill Dancer moved up to fourth place on the leading sires’ list. Kingston Hill had had more than three lengths to spare over Romsdal when the pair finished second and third behind Australia in the Derby, and these two filled first and second places in the St Leger, with Romsdal reducing Kingston Hill’s advantage to just over a length. Kingston Hill has never shown any lack of stamina: his two-year-old Group victories in the Autumn Stakes and Racing Post Trophy had been gained over a mile and he wasn’t fast enough to land a blow in the 2,000 Guineas. Although he was running on well at the end of the Derby, would the St Leger distance suit a son of Mastercraftsman, who did most of his racing at around a mile, even though he stayed an extended mile and a quarter? The answer was “yes”, perhaps as Kingston Hill’s broodmare sire is Rainbow Quest, sire of the St Leger winners Nedawi and Millenary. It is also worth remembering there is stamina in Mastercraftsman’s female line. Mastercraftsman’s third dam Tobira Celeste produced the St Leger second Celestial Storm, as well as Thawakib, a Ribblesdale winner who became the dam of Arc hero Sakhee. Kingston Hill’s dam Audacieuse won over a mile in the May of her three-year-old season but later proved better suited by distances around a mile and a quarter, winning the Listed Prix de Liancourt and the Gr3 Prix de Flore. Kingston Hill’s second dam Sarah Georgina was a six-furlong two-year-old winner by the speedy Persian Bold, while the next dam, Dance By Night, did her winning over seven furlongs at two. Dance By Night also produced Danseuse du Soir, a first-rate performer at up to a mile who numbered the Prix Robert Papin, Poule d’Essai des Poulains and Prix de la Foret among her successes. 277 COOLMORE FASTNET ROCK MATRON STAKES G1 LEOPARDSTOWN.

The remarkable transformation of Aussie Rules’s daughter Fiesolana continues. The early exploits of this ex-Italian filly saw her price rise from €35,000 as a two-year-old to 960,000gns as a four-year-old, when she was acquired by the Niarchos family. Her price as a four-year-old reflected her victory in the Gr2 Challenge Stakes. Now this tough mare has attained the status of Gr1 winner, thanks to her defeat of Rizeena in the Matron Stakes. Fiesolana has solid claims to being the best of Aussie Rules’s progeny, which also includes the speedy Dinkum Diamond and the very useful German filly Djumana. Aussie Rules

began his stallion career as a member of the Coolmore stallion team, having earned his place with victories in the Poule d’Essai des Poulains in France and the Shadwell Turf Mile in the US. However, his fee quickly fell from €15,000 to €6,000 and he moved to Lanwades Stud after five years. Part of his attraction to Lanwades is that he comes from the stud’s exceptional Alruccaba family. Predictably, the bottom half of Fiesolana’s pedigree could not be described as especially fashionable, but it does have the considerable attraction of not containing any of the ubiquitous stallions which are hard to avoid. Her first three dams are by Kris S, Bold And Brave and Blue Prince. Although her dam Tidal Reach was bred in the US, she raced in Britain, winning a mile maiden as a two-year-old after being bought for $17,000 as a yearling. Tidal Reach’s best winner prior to Fiesolana was Innit, a tough and precocious Distinctly North filly who landed the Gr3 Premio Dormello over a mile in Italy for Mick Channon before being sent to America, where she did even better, winning the Gr2 Honeymoon Invitational Handicap over ten furlongs. Tidal Reach was herself a halfsister to the very useful American filly Davie’s Lamb. 278 QIPCO IRISH CHAMPION STAKES G1 LEOPARDSTOWN. Sep 13. 3yo+. 10f.

On June 6, the Coolmore camp must have been a little disappointed when the royally-bred newcomer Gleneagles finished only fourth when favourite for a Leopardstown maiden. After all, the son of Galileo is a brother to Marvellous, who earlier in the day had started favourite for the Oaks on the strength of her impressive victory on soft ground in the Irish 1,000 Guineas. However, the experience did Gleneagles a power of good and he has been first home in all five of his subsequent starts, including three Group races, of which the Vincent O’Brien National Stakes is the most important. The interesting question now is how far Gleneagles will stay as a three-year-old. His sister Marvellous has yet to prove that she stays a mile and a half, having disappointed in both the Oaks and Irish Oaks, though the faster ground may have contributed to her defeats. However, the possibility exists that a mile and a quarter could prove the limit of Gleneagles’s stamina, as his dam You’resothrilling showed more speed than stamina. You’resothrilling matured quickly, notably winning the Gr2 Cherry Hinton Stakes, and she also showed smart form over a mile during a short second season. She is the second daughter of Storm Cat to have enjoyed Gr1 success with Galileo, who previously sired that fine filly Misty For Me from Butterfly Cove. Although Misty For Me won the Pretty Polly Stakes over a mile and a quarter and finished a good third in the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf over a furlong further, she managed only fifth place in the Oaks on her only attempt at a mile and a half. It isn’t impossible though that Gleneagles will stay the Derby distance. Galileo has sired mile-anda-half performers from fast mares and You’resothrilling is a sister to Giant’s Causeway, who stayed a mile and a quarter very well. Gleneagles’s second dam Mariah’s Storm was bought by John Magnier for $2,600,000 at Keeneland’s 1996 November Sale. This daughter of Rahy built an impressive record of ten wins from 16 starts, despite suffering a fracture to her near-fore cannon bone at two. Nine furlongs was her most rewarding distance.

Forty Niner
A lot of today’s American stallions find it hard to make a name for themselves in Europe (often because they simply don’t have sufficient runners), but one notable exception has been Distorted Humor. This grandson of Mr Prospector now has seven European Group winners to his credit and he owes much of his success to his affinity with mares with Sadler’s Wells blood. When his daughter Cursory Glance landed the Moyglare Stud Stakes she became Distorted Humor’s third European Gr1 winner out of a Sadler’s Wells mare, following Pathfork (National Stakes) and Aesop’s Fable (Prix Jean Prat).
These three are among nine winners from the first 11 starters sired by Distorted Humor from daughters of Coolmore’s perennial champion sire. What’s more, the WinStar stallion has a first-rate record with mares with Sadler’s Wells’s name elsewhere in their pedigree. For example, Flower Alley (sire of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner I’ll Have Another) has a second dam by Sadler’s Wells. Also, Distorted Humor’s first three runners out of mares by Sadler’s Wells’s son El Prado were all stakes winners, including the Gr1 winner Bit Of Whimsy. Cursory Glance’s exploits, which stand at only one defeat from four starts, represent ample reward for the boldness of her owner/breeder, Craig Bennett’s Merry Fox Stud, which paid 1,200,000gns for the filly’s dam, Time Control, as a yearling. Although Time Control won only a ten-furlong maiden race, she had the attraction of being a sister to Time On, winner of the Gr2 Prix de Malleret, and of being a product of the famously productive Sadler’s Wells-Darshaan partnership. The Darshaan mare was Time Away, winner of the Gr3 Musidora Stakes. Even better was Cursory Glance’s fourth dam, the brilliant racemare Time Charter, who numbered the Oaks, King George, Champion Stakes and the Coronation Cup among her wins. 281 PALMERSTOWN HOUSE ESTATE IRISH ST LEGER G1 CURRAGH.

Three generations of Doncaster St Leger contestants lined up for the all-aged Irish St Leger, with the 2013 winner Leading Light starting odds-on to account for the 2012 winner Encke and the 2011 runner-up Brown Panther, who was still seeking his first Gr1 success at the age of six. Surprisingly, it was Brown Panther who proved much the best, scoring by more than six lengths. Brown Panther’s victory ended an unexpectedly long wait for Shirocco’s first northern hemisphere Gr1 victory on the Flat. Of course Shirocco had previously enjoyed top-level success over hurdles with Annie Power and Lac Fontana and there are bound to be plenty more to come, following his move from the Darley team to Glenview Stud. On the Flat, though, it had been a tale of so near and yet so far, with the likes not only of Brown Panther but also the Oaks and Irish Oaks second Shirocco Star and the Prix Royal-Oak runner-up Wild Coco. Brown Panther’s victory represents a considerable achievement for his owner/breeder Michael Owen, but there was also a bittersweet element to his win, as it came not long after his dam Treble Heights had died at the age of 15. It is easy to understand why Brown Panther stays well. Treble Heights gained her best win in the Aphrodite Stakes over a mile and a half at four, having earlier finished runner-up in the Park Hill Stakes. The next dam, Height Of Passion, was by the stamina-packed Shirley Heights and one of her five blacktype performers was Warm Feeling, third in the 1991 Gold Cup. Brown Panther’s third dam Maladie d’Amour was a stoutly-bred daughter of Irish Derby winner Fidalgo, but the best previous winner from this female line was the Cheveley Park Stakes winner Pasty, by the very fast Raffingora.

The 2014 season keeps getting better and better for Kildangan Stud’s Shamardal. The 12-year-old son of Giant’s Causeway is soon poised to reap the rewards of his progeny’s early exploits, which led to his fee rising to €50,000 from 2011
onwards. That means his current crop of two-year-olds are from his first €50,000 crop, but the individuals which have helped him take third place behind Galileo and Invincible Spirit among Europe’s leading sires are mainly from his earlier crops. Sommerabend, a triple Group winner in France in 2014, is from his first crop (sired at €40,000); Sharestan, a Gr3 winner, is from his second (sired at €40,000); Mukhadram, his winner of the Eclipse Stakes, and the Gr3 winner Amaron are from his third (£25,000); his three-year-old Gr2 winners Bow Creek and Fintry are from his fifth (€20,000); and Baltic Baroness, who sprang a 22-1 surprise in the Gr1 Prix Vermeille, is from his fourth crop (also sired at €20,000). There have also been major successes for Shamardal’s progeny in Hong Kong, Singapore and the UAE. Baltic Baroness has now won three successive stakes races for her owner/breeders, Gestut Ammerland, having taken the Gr3 Prix Cleopatre as a three-year-old. She must now be a very valuable broodmare prospect, as she comes from a family which has done sterling work for Ammerland. Her dam, the Sadler’s Wells mare Born Wild, was only a mile-and-threequarters winner at Yarmouth but she was out of Borgia, a filly of international repute who triumphed over the colts in the 1997 Deutsches Derby. She was later runner-up in the Breeders’ Cup Turf and won the Hong Kong Vase. Borgia’s Derby win came four years before her half-brother Boreal completed a tremendous Deutsches Derby double for the family. Borgia’s four-year-old Oasis Dream colt Bermuda Reef is a Gr3 winner in 2014. Britannia, the dam of Borgia and Boreal, had also been a very good racemare, good enough to finish ninth, little more than five lengths behind Carroll House, in the 1989 Arc. Britannia was also second in the German Oaks and went on to win the Deutscher Stutenpreis, the Deutsches St Leger (by eight lengths) and the two-mile Oleander-Rennen. Britannia’s dam, Bonna, was by Salvo, a top-class middle-distance stayer who was runner-up in the Arc. Bonna also bred Buenos, a Gr2 11-furlong winner. 283 QATAR PRIX DU MOULIN DE LONGCHAMP G1 LONGCHAMP. Sep 14. 3yo+c&f. 1600m.

Invincible Spirit has enjoyed a stellar 2014, thanks largely to Kingman and Charm Spirit, and he appeared to have another potential Gr1 winner when his French daughter High Celebrity started second favourite for the Cheveley Park Stakes. High Celebrity ran well but not well enough to spoil the day for Invincible Spirit’s three-parts-brother Kodiac, who was responsible not only for the all-theway winner Tiggy Wiggy but also for Terror, a fine fourth on only her second start. Kodiac appears to have developed into another Danetime for Tally-Ho Stud. Danetime, like Kodiac, was by Danehill and both failed to win at stakes level, but Danetime proved very effective as a stallion, notably siring the Prix Morny winners Bushranger and Myboycharlie. Although Kodiac had enjoyed plenty of success at Listed level with members of his first four crops – all sired at fees of €5,000 or less – he hadn’t been represented by a Group winner prior to 2014. Now he has three to his credit, thanks to the Gr3-winning sprinters Coulsty and Jamesie and the very speedy Tiggy Wiggy. An interesting aspect of Tiggy Wiggy’s pedigree is that she is inbred 3 x 4 to Danzig and 4 x 4 to the outstanding miler Kris. The Danzig inbreeding comes via his highly successful sons Danehill (sire of Kodiac) and Green Desert (sire of Tiggy Wiggy’s speedy broodmare sire Kheleyf). Green Desert, of course, also sired Kodiac’s sibling Invincible Spirit, whose Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner Vale Of York has Kris and his brother Diesis in the third generation of his pedigree. Tiggy Wiggy’s dam Kheleyf’s Silver was bought for €230,000 as a yearling in 2007, having cost 58,000gns as a foal. Although she won a five-furlong maiden at Windsor on her fourth start as a two-year-old, Kheleyf’s Silver didn’t race in 2009 and became part of Darley’s draft at Tattersalls’ 2010 February Sale, where her price plunged to 15,000gns. Kheleyf’s Silver’s half-brother Masta Plasta had – like Tiggy Wiggy – been a Royal Ascot two-year-old. He won the Gr3 Norfolk Stakes and later developed into a smart sprint

Empoli’s form figures didn’t inspire much confidence this son of Halling could win the Gr1 Preis von Europa. The four-year-old had managed only one win from 13 previous starts but this was partly a reflection of the company he had been keeping. He had tackled Gr1 company not only in Germany but also in the UAE, Britain and France, once finishing a close second to Meandre in the 2013 Preis von Europa, only to be demoted. Empoli’s sire Halling was a dependable stallion but he found it much easier to hit the Gr2 target, rather than the Gr1 bullseye. No fewer than 14 of his progeny became Gr2 winners, but Empoli is only his third winner at the top level, following the very durable Grand Prix de Paris winner Cavalryman and the Prix Ganay winner Cutlass Bay. Empoli’s female line has been the
source of numerous good winners with names beginning with E. His fourth dam Elektra also produced a Preis von Europa winner, in the form of the 1977 scorer Ebano. Elektra – herself a sister to Elviro, winner of the 1968 Deutsches Derby – is also the second dam of Elle Danzig, a dual winner of the Premio Roma after winning Germany’s 1,000 Guineas and Oaks in 1998.

The quality of some of Italy’s Group races has been questionable during the problems afflicting the country’s racing industry. Some have virtually become domestic affairs but the 2014 Premio Vittorio di Capua was an exception. Among the 12 contenders were two French fillies, including L’Amour De Ma Vie, a much-travelled Gr2 winner, and three from Germany, all Group winners. Consequently it was a little surprising the first two were Italian-trained runners, with victory going to three-year-old Priore Philip. Perhaps I shouldn’t have been so surprised, as this son of Dane Friendly was winning for the tenth time in 12 starts. He had also enjoyed Gr1 success at two, when he landed the Gran Criterium. Not only is Priore Philip trained in Italy but he was also bred there from parents which raced in Italy. His sire Dane Friendly won the Gr2 Premio Ribot over a mile on very soft ground as a four-year-old, having earlier shown nothing in Britain. Priore Philip’s dam Lan Force was placed in two Listed races at two and is a sister to a juvenile Listed winner. Their sire, Blu Air Force, raced in four countries on two continents and won in three of them, notably taking the Gr3 Prix du Palais-Royal.

Dubawi percentage is badge of quality With another seven stakes horses, Galileo duly passed the 50 mark, and with five more stakes winners his percentage there rose marginally too. The same comment applies to Sea The Stars, and Dubawi maintained his momentum with five new stakes winners helping take his percentage from 8.19 to 10.11. Passing the 10% mark in the modern era when sires have so many runners is a real badge of quality and Dubawi had another top level scorer in Sheikhzayedroad. Two more of the leaders made significant progress. Monsun’s percentage rose to 8.54 from 6.41. His two new stakes winners were led by Estimate in the Doncaster Cup. Treve’s second Arc triumph did Motivator’s cause the power of good but she was not the only icing on the cake. He was also responsible for Listed winners Pallasator (Jockey Club Rose Bowl) and Sky Hunter (Doonside Cup), and his ratio of stakes winners jumped from 3.7% to 6.9%. In terms of bare numbers, Galileo (54) leads in stakes horses from Dubawi (29), Invincible Spirit (28), Oasis Dream (27), Shamardal (24) and Teofilo (21). In stakes winners he is on 34, ahead of Dubawi (19), Oasis Dream (15), Invincible Spirit and Shamardal (both 12).

Lagardere lament Kodiac had five new winners but it was reliable Tiggy Wiggy’s victory in the Cheveley Park Stakes that helped keep him on top from Galileo. The latter’s progeny earned not far short of £500,000, with Gleneagles the star. His demotion from first in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere temporarily scuppered the chances of there being a new leader. With another two added, Zebedee does not look quite so secure numerically as he did. Showcasing and Fast Company are both on 24 after respectively notching another five and three winners. Two freshmen are on 21, Paco Boy and Approve. The former surpassed himself with nine new scorers and has had seven stakes horses.
