Gustav Klimt staked his claim to being one of the fastest members of this distinguished club. At two he won the Gr.2 Superlative Stakes. Despite being stopped in his tracks coming to the final quarter mile, Gustav Klimt quickened very well to snatch victory. Gustav Klimt made a winning reappeance at 3 in the 2,000 Guineas Trial S. over seven furlongs. He went on to finish a half-length second in the St James’s Palace S. and third in the Irish 2,000 Guineas, Prix Jean Prat and the Haydock Sprint Cup. Gustav Klimt’s very smart form is complemented by a pedigree which shouts stallion success. His dam Massarra, a quick-maturing daughter of Danehill, is a Group-placed full-sister Kodiac, who in 2018 appears to be heading for his second title as champion sire of 2yos. Massarra is also a half-sister to Invincible Spirit, another champion sire of 2yos. Massarra has also produced a Gr.1-winning 2yo. Gustav Klimt’s second dam Rafha won the Gr.1 Prix de Diane and this is also the family of Pride of Dubai, a two-time Gr.1 winner at two in Australia. There are plenty of pointers available from the stallion careers of Teofilo, Frankel and Intello, three of Galileo’s other Group winners out of Danehill mares. An extra line of DANZIG is proving no problem for these and should reinforce Gustav Klimt’s 2yo ability. Teofilo’s successful stallion son Havana Gold is out of a grand-daughter of GREEN DESERT and Havana Gold’s fast son Havana Grey is inbred 4x3 to GREEN DESERT . Intello’s first Gr.1 winner Intellogent is another out of a grand-daughter of GREEN DESERT , by KHELEYF . Another KHELEYF mare produced Gr.1 winner Tiggy Wiggy to Kodiac. Frankel’s early crops contains stakes winners out of daughters of GREEN DESERT , INVINCIBLE SPIRIT , OASIS DREAM and DANEHILL DANCER . Intello (and Galileo) have Group winners out of CLODOVIL mares. An ACCLAMATION mare produced Massaat, one of Teofilo’s fastest winners, and Kodiac has Group winners with dams by ROYAL APPLAUSE and ACCLAMATION .
