From only 33 foals in his first Irish crop, he has sired eight stakes winners, headed by four Group winners. This small first crop includes the top-class juveniles Anthem Alexander and The Wow Signal. They aren’t just 2yos, as Starspangledbanner’s progeny have also won Group races at the ages of three, four, five and six. His 2019 juvenile crop is headed by the Gr.1 Cheveley Park Stakes winner Millisle. 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 . This suggests that Starspangledbanner could be an ideal medium for injecting speed into daughters of HIGH CHAPARRAL , MONTJEU , GALILEO and IN THE WINGS . Choisir had a particularly good record with MONTJEU mares, siring the American Gr.1 winner Obviously, the Hong Kong Gr.2 winner Secret Weapon and the Irish Gr.3 winner Alexios Komnenos from only 22 foals. Starspangledbanner will surely also suit mares by grandsons of SADLER’S WELLS . Starspangledbanner’s Gr.1-placed Great Wide Open is out of a DANEHILL mare and therefore is inbred 4x2. Starspangledbanner’s sire Choisir already has a Gr.1-winning Australian 2yo and a Hong Kong Derby winner inbred 3x3. Mares by such as DANETIME , DANSILI , EXCEED AND EXCEL , FASTNET ROCK , KODIAC , MOZART , ORATORIO
