MATING SUGGESTIONS: The 2022 season established that Blackbeard has few equals on the score of precocity and juvenile ability. He was scoring for the third time in as many starts when impressively winning the Gr.3 Marble Hill Stakes on May 21. He also reeled off decisive victories in the Gr.2 Prix Robert Papin, Gr.1 Prix Morny and Gr.1 Middle Park Stakes. He’s exactly the type of 2YO owners and trainers have come to expect from the Scat Daddy male line. As DANZIG is back in the sixth generation of Blackbeard’s foals, there is no barrier to further lines of DANZIG blood, either through GREEN DESERT or DANEHILL . GREEN DESERT’s son INVINCIBLE SPIRIT sired the dam of No Nay Never’s fast Gr.2 winner Trillium, while SHINKO FOREST , another son of GREEN DESERT , sired the dam of Gr.2 winner Aesop’s Fable. No Nay Never has a 7f Gr.3 winner out of a mare by SEA THE STARS . There are also Listed winners out of daughters of CAPE CROSS and OASIS DREAM (2). Blackbeard could be an ideal means of injecting precocity into the daughters of SEA THE STARS . No Nay Never’s multiple Gr.1 winner Alcohol Free is out of a grand-daughter of Danzig, by HARD SPUN . He is also working very well with mares by sons of DANEHILL . In addition to dual Gr.1 winner Ten Sovereigns, out of an EXCEED AND EXCEL mare, he has worked with daughters of ROCK OF GIBRALTAR (Gr.2 scorer Land Force), ROCK (Gr.2 NZ winner Need I Say More), DANEHILL DANCER , ORATORIO and CATCHER IN THE RYE . No Nay Never is thriving with mares with MR PROSPECTOR blood. The Gr.2-winning siblings Arizona and Nay Lady Nay have a dam by ENGLISH CHANNEL , a son of SMART STRIKE . Two more of his Gr.2 winners are out of SPEIGHTSTOWN and CHESTER HOUSE mares. Two sons of DUBAWI have sired black-type performers from Blackbeard’s family. Gr.1 winner Little Big Bear is one of only two foals out of BERING mares.
