Coolmore Handbook 2017

The STORM CAT line could reinforce Kingston Hill’s juvenile ability. His sire Mastercraftsman has already sired the dual Gr.1 winner Amazing Maria from a daughter of TALE OF THE CAT , plus the Gr.3 winner Craftsman from a FOREST WILDCAT mare. Danehill Dancer sired the high-class Planteur from a GIANT’S CAUSEWAY mare. More LYPHARD blood is an option. Danehill Dancer sired the top miler Esoterique from a mare by DANCING BRAVE and one of his sons sired another top miler Olympic Glory from an ALZAO mare. Danehill Dancer’s smart son Jeremy had a second dam by ALZAO . LINAMIX mares have excellent records with Danehill Dancer and his son Choisir. Kingston Hill’s male line has traditionally enjoyed plenty of success with SHARPEN UP . As this top stallion will be back in the fifth generation of Kingston Hill’s foals, there is plenty of scope for another line, via such as KRIS , DIESIS , SELKIRK , TREMPOLINO and COMMON GROUNDS . Kingston Hill’s sire already has a very useful French filly with a dam by KINGMAMBO . Three of Mastercraftsman’s Group winners have dams by grandsons of MR PROSPECTOR . His grandsire Danehill Dancer sired a classic winner from a mare by INDIAN RIDGE . Three of Danehill Dancer’s stallion sons have Group winners from this line, from daughters of INDIAN RIDGE , NAMID and COMPTON PLACE . Mastercraftsman has a Gr.3 winner out of a CAERLEON mare. Danehill Dancer sired two of his classic winners, Speciosa and Again, from mares by a son and a grandson of NIJINSKY . A son of Danehill Dancer sired a Prix de l’Abbaye winner from a daughter of CAERLEON . Footstepsinthesand, another stallion with a dam by Rainbow Quest, has an eyecatching record with daughters of DANEHILL , their five stakes winners equating to 14%. His sire Mastercraftsman already has a Group-placed performer with a dam by OASIS DREAM . Kingston Hill is also an option for daughters of INVINCIBLE SPIRIT and CAPE CROSS . ACCLAMATION and grandson DARK ANGEL should reinforce Kingston Hill’s 2yo ability.

He’s a beautiful mover with a great cruising speed and turn of foot - pretty much everything you look for in a top-class racehorse. Roger Varian , trainer

Having bred Kingston Hill we know how talented and good-looking he is and it’s great to have a mare like Inchiri in foal to him.

[Inchiri is a stakes winner and dam of Hawk’s Eye (Gr.3W) and Inchila (4th Epsom Oaks-Gr.1)]
