new sires
Observatory mare Waldjagd, who was second in the Group 2 Diana Trial and is the dam of last year’s Listed Prix de Pont Neuf winner Urwald (Le Havre).
Third dam Wurftaube was a joint- champion three-year-old filly and joint champion older mare in Germany winning the Group 2 Gerling Preis, and St Leger and the Group 3 Furstenberg-Rennen and Hamburger Stutenpreis.
A daughter of Acatenango, she was also second in the Group 1 Deutschland Preis and is the dam of seven winners from eight runners.
She is a half-sister to the three-time Group 3 winner Wurfscheibe (Tiger Hill), who is the dam of Jukebox Jury’s
Group 3-winning juvenile Arcatraz.
Wurftaube is also a half-sister to the Listed-placed Wurfspiel (Lomitas), who is the dam of Grade 1 Man O’War Stakes winner Wake Forest.
Waldgeist’s sire Galileo needs no introduction – he is simply the best stallion on the planet with 85 Group/Grade 1 winners and 17 sons at stud who have sired at least
one Group 1 winner, while his daughters are producing Group 1 winners in droves.
His Group 1 winners in 2019 alone
included Derby hero Anthony Van Dyck,
the dual 1,000 Guineas winner Hermosa,
the brilliant Magical, winner of the Irish Champion and Champion Stakes, the Irish Derby winner Sovereign, Cape Of Good Hope, Circus Maximus, Japan, Love, Magic Wand and Search For A Song.
Galileo’s success had its foundations in mares by Danehill and his sons, especially Danehill Dancer, with his best being the champion Frankel, who is out of Kind, a daughter of Danehill.
Galileo has 25 Group 1 winners out of mares by Danehill, Danehill Dancer, Dansili, Exceed And Excel, Holy Roman Emperor, Mozart and Rock Of Gibraltar.
In recent years his affinity with the Storm Cat line has also grown as he covered more speedily-bred mares and he has Group 1 winners Ballydoyle, Clemmie, Churchill, Decorated Knight, Gleneagles, Happily, Marvellous and Misty For Me all out of daughters of Storm Cat.
He has also gelled well with Pivotal mares with the likes of Hermosa, Hydrangea, Love, Magical and Rhododendron having Pivotal as their broodmare sire.
Galileo’s dam-sire Miswaki is a son of
Mr. Prospector and crossing Galileo with mares from the Mr. Prospector line has provided plenty of reward with Order Of St George out of a Gone West mare, Red Rocks has a Machiavellian dam, while Ruler Of The World is out of a mare by Kingmambo, as is Ulysses.
As Waldgeist has no Danzig blood in him, speedily-bred Danehill daughters and grand- daughters would look ideal for him as would Green Desert line mares. Galileo has Group 1 winners out of mares by Anabaa, Cape Cross and Green Desert himself.
Sprinter and miler types, who have been so successful with Galileo, should also suit Waldgeist and would inject pace into a pedigree that is laden with stamina and with Monsun as his dam-sire.
Pivotal mares, Storm Cat daughters and granddaughters and mares by sons, grandsons and great-grandsons of Mr Prospector should all be tried.

Masar
New Approach – Khawlah (Cape Cross)
Darley Dalham Hall Stud
£15,000
Masar is impeccably bred as a relative of Galileo and Sea The Stars and inbred to their dam, the blue hen Urban Sea. He is the second Derby winner to be a son and a grandson of previous Derby winners.
Quick, and good enough, to win the 7f Group 3 Solario Stakes at two defeating
the subsequent Group 1-winning miler Romanised in the process, Masar is a Darley home-bred who made a winning debut over 6f, beating Invincible Army by a short head.
On his next start he tackled the Listed Chesham Stakes finishing third to the fillies September and Nyaleti.
Then came his Solario Stakes success before he tried Group 1 company in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardère when he was a close third to the filly Happily and the subsequent Classic winner Olmedo.
At three he warmed up for his Classic campaign with victory in the Group 3 Craven Stakes, finishing more than 9l clear of Roaring Lion in third.
Masar was beaten less than 2l into third by Saxon Warrior in the 2,000 Guineas but
Masar (New Approach) was bred to win the Derby and is inbred 3x4 to the mare Urban Sea
