MATING SUGGESTIONS: No Nay Never’s son Arizona landed the Gr.2 Coventry Stakes, having previously won a Curragh maiden by 8 lengths. He later finished second to champion 2YO Pinatubo in the Gr.1 Dewhurst Stakes. Arizona’s sire No Nay Never owes much of his early success to mares from the DANZIG male line. His top daughter Alcohol Free is out of a grand-daughter of Danzig by HARD SPUN and he is working very well with mares by sons of DANEHILL . They include EXCEED AND EXCEL (Champion Sprinter Ten Sovereigns), ROCK OF GIBRALTAR (Gr.2 scorer Land Force), KODIAC , ORATORIO , FASTNET ROCK and DANEHILL DANCER . HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR , in 2023 alone, is broodmare sire of Caravaggio’s 2YO Gr.1 winner Porta Fortuna, Sioux Nation’s Gr.2 winner Brave Emperor and No Nay Never’s Gr.1-placed 2YO Mountain Bear. The GREEN DESERT branch of the DANZIG line has also supplied some of No Nay Never’s top winners. His dual Gr.1 winner Blackbeard is out of a mare by BORN TO SEA , a son of INVINCIBLE SPIRIT , who in turn sired the dam of Gr.2 winner Trillium. Another Gr.2 winner, Aesop’s Fables, is out of a daughter of SHINKO FOREST . No Nay Never has a 7f Gr.3 winner out of a mare by SEA THE STARS . No Nay Never has an impressive 22% SWs out of mares by OASIS DREAM , including the 2023 Gr.2 2YO winners Array and Les Pavots. Sioux Nation, another of Scat Daddy’s sons, has several good winners inbred 3x3 to OASIS DREAM , including two Group-winning fillies. Fast horses from the NUREYEV line could suit, such as daughters of PIVOTAL , EXCELLENT ART , CAPTAIN RIO and KYLLACHY . SIYOUNI , with his dam by DANEHILL , could be especially suitable. No Nay Never has Listed winners out of daughters of PIVOTAL and PEINTRE CELEBRE . THEATRICAL sired the 2nd dam of his Gr.1 winner Ten Sovereigns while PIVOTAL filled the same position in the pedigree of Blackbeard. Although Arizona is inbred 4x5x4 to MR PROSPECTOR , this outstanding American stallion will be no closer than the fifth generation of Arizona’s offspring. No Nay Never is thriving with mares with MR PROSPECTOR blood. STORM CAT will be well back in Arizona’s foals. He should suit mares by FOOTSTEPSINTHESAND , SHAMARDAL and LOPE DE VEGA . No Nay Never and Sioux Nation have Group winners inbred to STORM CAT . The SADLER’S WELLS line has also had success with No Nay Never. His Gr.2 winners Shadn and Visualisation have dams by SADLER’S WELLS . No Nay Never also has Henry Adams and Midnight Mile, both Gr.3 winners at two, among his runners out of GALILEO mares. Mares by HIGH CHAPARRAL have produced three Group winners (14%) to No Nay Never and Ten Sovereigns already has a dual Listed winner out of one. The SHIRLEY HEIGHTS male line has quickly made its mark with No Nay Never. His smart son Wichita had a dam by DASHING BLADE , while the 2022 2YO Gr.1 winner Meditate has a dam by DALAKHANI . Sioux Nation has a Gr.3 winner with a dam by DALAKHANI . Mares from the quick-maturing ROYAL APPLAUSE line should help Arizona pass on his juvenile ability. Daughters of ACCLAMATION , DARK ANGEL , MEHMAS and EQUIANO would suit. No Nay Never has a Gr.3 winner out of an INDIAN RIDGE mare and his Group winners Wichita, Land Force and Love Locket all have 2nd dams by INDIAN RIDGE .

MATING SUGGESTIONS: DANZIG is back in the fifth generation of Australia’s foals’ pedigrees and several of his Group winners have a second line. His Gr.1 Breeders’ Cup Mile winner Order of Australia has a dam by DANEHILL and sons of DANEHILL are also playing a significant role. His first classic winner, Galileo Chrome, has a dam by DANSILI , while Gr.2 winner Epona Plays has a dam by ORATORIO . Australia is also making his mark with mares by DANEHILL DANCER , siring the Gr.2 winners Sir Ron Priestly and Leo de Fury and Gr.3 winner Waipiro. Australia also has the 2023 Gr.3 winner Elounda Queen out of a MASTERCRAFTSMAN mare, as well as Listed winners out of daughters of FASTNET ROCK and DUKE OF MARMALADE . Three of Australia’s Group winners – Buckhurst, Beyond Reason and Patrick Sarsfield - are respectively inbred 4x2, 4x3 and 4x4 to GREEN DESERT and he also has Listed winners out of daughters of OASIS DREAM and INVINCIBLE SPIRIT . His first two foals out of WAR FRONT mares are winners, including the classic-placed Group winner Adelaide River. Galileo has 16 SWs from 72 foals out of daughters of STORM CAT (22%) and no fewer than 9 of them are Gr.1 winners. AUSTRALIA is benefiting from mares with AHONOORA blood. He has made an impressive start with mares by ACCLAMATION , which create 5x4 to AHONOORA . From 16 foals he has sired the very smart brothers Broome and Point Lonsdale and Gr.3 winner Counterparty Risk. Australia’s Gr.1-placed son Sydney Opera House has a second dam by AHONOORA . Galileo’s classic winners New Approach and Was respectively have a dam and a second dam by him. Another son of Galileo sired the brilliant Enable from a SADLER’S WELLS mare. Frankel, Teofilo and Gleneagles have all sired Gr.1 winners from daughters of MONTJEU , this being 3x3 to SADLER’S WELLS . Australia has two SWs inbred 3x3 as their 2nd dams are by SADLER’S WELLS . Australia’s American Gr.1 winner Ocean Road has a dam by THEATRICAL . He also has a Gr.2 winner with a dam by PEINTRE CELEBRE and two Listed winners out of PIVOTAL mares. He also has two Group winners with second dams by NUREYEV . Galileo also excelled with this NUREYEV line, notably siring 12 SWs from 47 foals out of PIVOTAL mares (26 per cent). Galileo also has classic winners out of daughters of THEATRICAL and STRAVINSKY . Galileo and his sons have thrived with mares from the MILL REEF line, and Australia’s first classic winner, Galileo Chrome, has a second dam by DARSHAAN . Thanks to his smart son Bangkok, Australia is one of four sons of Galileo to have sired a Group winner from DARSHAAN mares. Galileo excelled with the ROBERTO line, notably siring the King George and Eclipse winner Nathaniel, Great Heavens and Seville from daughters of SILVER HAWK . His partnership with INTIKHAB has been tremendously effective, with five Group winners from 13 foals, including Arc winner Found. The BLUSHING GROOM line suits Galileo and his sons. Australia sired Gr.1 winner Mare Australis from a daughter of RAINBOW QUEST and he has a Gr.2 winner with a 2nd dam by him. RAHY sired the second dams of Galileo’s Gr.1 winners Decorated Knight, Marvellous, Gleneagles, Joan of Arc, Happily and Deauville. Australia sired the classic-placed Cayenne Pepper from a MR PROSPECTOR line mare, by GONE WEST’s son ELUSIVE QUALITY . The KINGMAMBO branch is particularly recommended, as are mares by DUBAWI . Four sons of Galileo have Group winners out of daughters of DUBAWI , with Frankel siring Mostahdaf, Adayar and Homeless Songs.

MATING SUGGESTIONS: Blackbeard was scoring for the third time in as many starts when he ran out an impressive all-the-way winner of the Gr.3 Marble Hill Stakes on May 21. After being caught in the last stride of the Gr.2 Railway Stakes, he reeled off decisive victories in the Gr.2 Prix Robert Papin, Gr.1 Prix Morny and Gr.1 Middle Park Stakes to improve his career figures to six wins and a short-head second from eight starts. Blackbeard represents an unbroken sequence of seven generations of Gr.1 2YO winners from his male line. As DANZIG is back in the sixth generation of Blackbeard’s foals, there is no barrier to further lines of DANZIG blood. 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 2YO winner Aesop’s Fables. No Nay Never has a 7f Gr.3 winner out of a mare by SEA THE STARS . No Nay Never also has an impressive 22% SWs from 18 foals out of mares by OASIS DREAM , including the 2023 Gr.2 2YO winners Array and Les Pavots. Sioux Nation, another of Scat Daddy’s sons, already has two Group winners inbred 3x3 to OASIS DREAM . Blackbeard would suit grand-daughters of GREEN DESERT and he could be an ideal means of injecting precocity into the daughters of SEA THE STARS . 16

This creates 5x4 to GREEN DESERT and 4x3 to the great mare Urban Sea. 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 Ten Sovereigns (out of an EXCEED AND EXCEL mare) he has SWs out of daughters of HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR , KODIAC , ROCK OF GIBRALTAR , FASTNET ROCK , ORATORIO and CATCHER IN THE RYE . HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR is also the broodmare sire of Caravaggio’s 2023 Gr.1 winner Porta Fortuna and Sioux Nation’s tough Gr.2 winner Brave Emperor. MR PROSPECTOR will be no closer than the fifth generation of Blackbeard’s offspring. 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 daughters of SPEIGHTSTOWN and CHESTER HOUSE . Two sons of DUBAWI have sired black-type performers from Blackbeard’s family. Gr.1 winner Little Big Bear is one of only three foals by No Nay Never out of BERING mares. Blackbeard should suit mares by FOOTSTEPSINTHESAND , SHAMARDAL and LOPE DE VEGA (sire of the dual Gr.3 winner Max Vega from Blackbeard’s family). Sioux Nation’s Gr.2 winner Matilda Picotte is out of a ONE COOL CAT mare and therefore inbred 5x3 to STORM CAT . The SADLER’S WELLS line is sure to provide Blackbeard with good winners. No Nay Never’s Gr.2 winners Shadn and Visualisation have dams by SADLER’S WELLS . No Nay Never also has Henry Adams and Midnight Mile, both Gr.3 winners at two, among his runners out of GALILEO mares. Mares by HIGH CHAPARRAL have produced three Group winners (14%) to No Nay Never and Ten Sovereigns already has a dual Listed winner out of one. The SHIRLEY HEIGHTS male line has quickly made its mark with No Nay Never. His smart son Wichita had a dam by DASHING BLADE , while the Group winning 2022 2YOs Meditate and Midnight Mile respectively have a dam by DALAKHANI and a 2nd dam by DARSHAAN . Sioux Nation has a Gr.3 winner with a dam by DALAKHANI and another with a 2nd dam by DARSHAAN . The ROYAL APPLAUSE line should definitely help Blackbeard pass on his considerable precocity and juvenile ability. No Nay Never’s useful sprinter Royal Commando has a dam by ACCLAMATION , while ROYAL APPLAUSE sired the 2nd dam of Gr.2 winner Trillium. No Nay Never has a Gr.3 winner out of an INDIAN RIDGE mare and his Group winners Wichita, Land Force and Love Locket all have 2nd dams by INDIAN RIDGE . BLUSHING GROOM’s sons RAINBOW QUEST , NASHWAN and RAHY collectively sired the 2nd dams of five of No Nay Never’s Stakes winners, and RAINBOW QUEST also sired the dam of another of his Stakes winners. ❝ Blackbeard was the busiest new sire in Britain and Ireland this year, covering 195 mares in his debut season on the Coolmore roster… Blackbeard , a son of No Nay Never whose six victories at two last year included the Prix Morny and Middle Park Stakes, received 16 black-type winners after his injury-enforced early retirement to stud. They included classy racemares Foxtrot Lady , Pollyana and Shades Of Blue . He was also supported with the dams of high achievers Arizona (Lady Ederle), Barraquero (Chica Whopa), Beckford (Whirly Dancer), Dicton (Saying), Eternal Hope (Voice Of Truth), Marshman (White Rosa),

MATING SUGGESTIONS: The first to highlight Kingman’s excellence as a sire was his spectacular son Calyx. A highly impressive 5-length debut winner at Newmarket, Calyx reappeared ten days later in the Gr.2 Coventry Stakes. Despite having to race on the apparently slower part of the course from his high draw, he burst well clear of his group and won well from Advertise. Calyx was similarly impressive on his return to action at three in the Gr.3 Commonwealth Cup Trial, where once again he displayed an explosive turn of foot. The Gr.1 Commonwealth Cup appeared to be at Calyx’s mercy but he suffered a pastern injury when second to Hello Youmzain in the Gr.2 Sandy Lane Stakes. Calyx is showing distinct promise with GALILEO mares. Four of their first 5 starters have won, including Gr.2 winner Persian Dreamer, Gr.1 Dewhurst-placed Eben Shaddad and the well-regarded Golden Strike. Kingman has 8 SWs, headed by Gr.1 2YO winner Commissioning and Gr.2 winner Serve The King. FRANKEL daughters have started brightly with Kingman producing Gr.3 Jersey Stakes winner Noble Truth. Kingman’s 23 foals out of MONTJEU mares feature French Gr.1 winner Feed The Flame, American Gr.2 winner Public Sector and Irish Gr.3 winner Mashhoor. Mares by IN THE WINGS’s sons SOLDIER HOLLOW and SINGSPIEL have Group winners by Kingman, including Japanese Gr.1 winner Schnell Meister. Kingman sired the Gr.2 winner Noble Style and Gr.1-placed Roseman from daughters of PIVOTAL . GREEN DESERT is going to be back in the fourth generation of Calyx’s progeny, and he already has the Gr.2 winner Classic Flower inbred 4x4. Kingman’s Gr.2 winners Fearless King and Technical Analysis and Gr.3 winners Ready To Venture and Chachnak are inbred 3x4 to GREEN DESERT . The smart American filly Technical Analysis has a dam by SEA THE STARS , whose daughters have 16% SWs with Kingman. Mares by sons of OASIS DREAM , such as SHOWCASING and APPROVE , create 4x4 inbreeding to Green Desert and to Kingman’s 2nd dam Hope, and Calyx already has the promising Purple Lily with that inbreeding. Kingman’s classic-winning son Persian King has a dam by DYLAN THOMAS and he also has GSWs out of mares by DANSILI (3), CHAMPS ELYSEES (2), DANEHILL DANCER , FASTNET ROCK , DANROAD and EXCEED AND EXCEL . The two lines of MR PROSPECTOR in Calyx’s pedigree will be back in the fifth and sixth generations of his progeny’s pedigree, so there is no obstacle to adding more of the MR PROSPECTOR blood which has done so well with Calyx’s grandsire Invincible Spirit. Kingman’s outstanding miler Palace Pier has a dam by NAYEF . Kingman already has a Gr.2 winner from a KING’S BEST mare, while the smart Nostrum is from a daughter of DUBAI DESTINATION . Kingman also has Group winners out of mares by SMART STRIKE and SPEIGHTSTOWN . Invincible Spirit has 13% SWs out of MACHIAVELLIAN mares and Kingman has sired Gr.1 winner Domestic Spending from a mare by Machiavellian’s son STREET CRY . Invincible Spirit has the Gr.1 winner Nazeef and the Gr.2 2YO winner Shartash out of DUBAWI mares, while Kingman has Gr.2 winners with dams by DUBAWI and MAKFI . Kingman has a Gr.2 winner and a Listed winner out of mares by sons of STORM CAT and sired the Gr.1 Prix de Moulin winner Sauterne from a grand-daughter of GIANT’S CAUSEWAY . GIANT’S CAUSEWAY also sired the second dam of Kingman’s classic-winning son Persian King. Calyx has already sired a 2YO Gr.2 winner with a 2nd dam by MUJADIL , a son of STORM BIRD . Kingman has numerous black-type winners with two lines of MILL REEF . Kingman’s Gr.1 winner Kinross and his Gr.1-placed sons King of Comedy and Epictetus are all out of SELKIRK mares. Calyx can therefore be expected to do well with mares by Danehill’s many stallion sons. Kingman already has a Gr.3 winner out of a mare by Royal Applause’s son ACCLAMATION .
