Now he has shown huge potential with his Irish progeny. From only 33 foals in his first crop, he has sired six stakes winners, headed by four Group winners. Starspangledbanner owes much of his success to sons and grandsons of NORTHERN DANCER . Significantly, two of his fast Group winners are out of mares by middle-distance Gr.1 winners by SADLER’S WELLS , namely HIGH CHAPARRAL and BEAT HOLLOW . His other Group winner, Anthem Alexander, is out of a fast daughter of NIGHT SHIFT . Choisir sired the American Gr.1 winner Obviously from a MONTJEU mare; the top-class Olympic Glory from a daughter of ALZAO (by LYPHARD ); the 2,000 Guineas runner-up Glory Awaits from a grand-daughter of DANZIG ; and the Gr.2 winner Chandlery from a daughter of MUJADIL (by STORM BIRD ). This suggests that Starspangledbanner could be an ideal medium for injecting speed into daughters of not only HIGH CHAPARRAL but also MONTJEU , GALILEO and IN THE WINGS , and his family produced an Australian Gr.2 winner to BARATHEA .
