Although from the DANZIG male line, Zoffany has thrived with mares from this line. He has three 2YO Group winners out of GREEN DESERT mares. Gr.2 winner Foundation has a dam by POLISH PRECEDENT . Another high-class son, Washington D C, is inbred 4x4 to Danzig. Gr.1-placed Afandem has a dam by ANABAA . He has SWs inbred 3x3 to DANEHILL , through DANEHILL DANCER , ORATORIO , MOZART and TIGER HILL . Dansili has smart performers out of daughters of DIESIS , SANGLAMORE , KRIS and SELKIRK and Zoffany is following his example, siring the Gr.1 winner Albigna from a SELKIRK mare. Dansili’s 16 SWs out of SADLER’S WELLS mares include three Gr.1 winners, while Zoffany has 2YO Gr.1 winner Thunder Moon and Group-placed Asking with them. SADLER’S WELLS sired the second dam of Epsom Oaks second Architecture while Gr.2 winner Fleeting is out of a mare by MOTIVATOR , a son of MONTJEU . Zoffany has three SWs out of GALILEO mares, Gr.2 winner Oscar Dominguez is out of a mare by Sadler’s Wells’ full-brother FAIRY KING . NUREYEV also demands serious consideration. Zoffany has Listed winner Argentero and Gr.2-placed Originaire from PIVOTAL mares. FASLIYEV sired the dam of classic-placed Architecture. Zoffany has Listed winners out of mares by STORM CAT’s sons GIANT’S CAUSEWAY and HENNESSY . Daughters of FOOTSTEPSINTHESAND and SHAMARDAL would be interesting. Zoffany has Gr.2 winner Main Edition with a WOODMAN mare, and has a Listed winner with a dam by KING’S BEST . His smart 2YO Illuminate is inbred 3x3 to MACHIAVELLIAN , while his Gr.2 winner Knife Edge and southern hemisphere Gr.1 winner Zodiac Ruler are inbred 4x4 to MR PROSPECTOR . Architecture is out of a mare inbred 3x3 to MR PROSPECTOR . Both Zoffany and Bated Breath have SWs out of mares by IFFRAAJ . ELUSIVE QUALITY is another GONE WEST stallion among the broodmare sires of Zoffany’s black-type winners. Zoffany will benefit from more BLUSHING GROOM , his Gr.1 winners Thunder Moon (grandam by NASHWAN ) and Albigna (third dam by BAILLAMONT ) being excellent examples. He also has Group-placed winners out of mares by RAHY and his son FANTASTIC LIGHT . The second dams of his good winners include daughters of BLUSHING GROOM , ARAZI , GROOM DANCER , RAINBOW QUEST and SPECTRUM . Two of Zoffany’s Gr.1 winners, Albigna and Ventura Storm, and his Gr.2 winner Foundation have NIJINSKY on their dam’s side, via CAERLEON , SHADEED and ROYAL ACADEMY . Zoffany’s two SWs out of mares by ROBERTO’s grandson DR FONG include Gr.2 winner Waterloo Bridge. The AHONOORA line traditionally does well with Danehill and his sons and Dansili has Group-winning daughters out of mares by INDIAN RIDGE , INCHINOR and STATOBLEST . Zoffany sired Gr.2 winner Knife Edge and Gr.1-placed Tasmania from daughters of MONSUN . 119
