Gustav Klimt staked his claim to being one of the fastest members of this distinguished club. Having won a Curragh maiden over seven furlongs on July 2, Gustav Klimt travelled to Newmarket for the Gr.2 Superlative S. over the same distance. Despite being stopped in his tracks coming to the final quarter mile, he quickened very well to win. He made a winning reappeance in the 2,000 Guineas Trial S. over seven furlongs at Leopardstown and also finished 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 pedigree shouts stallion success. His dam Massarra is a Group-placed full-sister to Kodiac and is closely related 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 Prix de Diane. There are plenty of pointers available from the stallion careers of Teofilo, Frankel and Intello, three of Galileo’s other top winners out of Danehill mares. An extra line of DANZIG is proving no problem for them, and more Danzig blood should reinforce Gustav Klimt’s 2yo ability. Frankel’s early crops contain Group winners out of daughters of GREEN DESERT and OASIS DREAM (2). The GREEN DESERT branch has enjoyed Gr.1 success with Teofilo and Intello. Teofilo’s Gr.1 winner Havana Gold has a dam by DESERT STYLE , whereas Intello’s first Gr.1 winner Intellogent has a dam by KHELEYF (another KHELEYF mare produced
