His Gr.1 winner Technician and Gr.2 winner Even Song are both out of SADLER’S WELLS mares with dams by Darshaan, while ENTREPRENEUR sired the dam of The Grey Gatsby and HIGH CHAPARRAL the dam of A Raving Beauty. Other Group winners have dams by IN THE WINGS , SINGSPIEL and HURRICANE RUN . MONTJEU mares should make their mark with Mastercraftsman as he has Gr.2 and Gr.3 southern hemisphere winners out of them. Mastercraftsman has several black-type horses out of GALILEO mares, notably the Australian Gr.2 winner Luvaluva as well as the ‘TDN Rising Star’ Cabaletta. Mastercraftsman’s classic-winning son Kingston Hill is out of a RAINBOW QUEST mare and his outstanding daughter Alpha Centauri has a dam by RAHY . His Gr.3 winner Dessertoflife has a dam by Rainbow Quest’s son SPECTRUM . Mastercraftsman has sired the dual Gr.1 winner Amazing Maria and a Listed winner from daughters of TALE OF THE CAT , plus the Gr.3 winner Craftsman from a daughter of FOREST WILDCAT . His classic-placed Wind Chimes is from a mare by JOHANNESBURG . This suggests more STORM CAT blood will suit. Danehill Dancer has Gr.2 and Gr.3 winners inbred 3x3 to SHARPEN UP and others inbred 3x4 to him, so Mastercraftsman is a likeable option for mares from this line. He already has a Gr.3 winner inbred 4x4. He has a good French filly with a dam by KINGMAMBO and SWs out of grand-daughters of KINGMAMBO , as well as a top-class son with a KINGMAMBO second dam. Five of his Group winners have dams sired by grandsons of MR PROSPECTOR , including two by GONE WEST ’s sons ZAMINDAR and MR GREELEY . The Danehill male line has smart performers inbred either 2x3 or 3x3 to DANEHILL . Mastercraftsman’s Gr.2 winner Vintager is inbred 4x4 to DANZIG , as he is out of an ORPEN mare. He has a Group-placed performer with a dam by OASIS DREAM , and a New Zealand Gr.1 winner and a British Gr.3 winner with second dams by GREEN DESERT . Mastercraftsman has two Listed winners from 11 foals out of RED RANSOM mares. Three of his Group winners have DARSHAAN second dams.
