new sires
including in the Listed Free Handicap and Listed Rockingham Stakes.
Lucky Clio is also the dam of the 102-rated King’s Best gelding Kingsdesire, who won twice and was third in the Group 3 Dee Stakes.
Lucky Clio is a half-sister to the dual Group 2 Prix Daniel Wildenstein winner Special Kaldoun, a son of Kaldoun who also has four Group 3 races to his name and is at stud in France.
She is also a half-sister to the Listed- placed filly Privalova (Alhaarth), while third dam Macedoin is a half-sister to the Grade 1 Gamely Handicap winner La Koumia.
Phoenix of Spain has Key Of Luck as his broodmare sire, as did the ill-fated Society Rock who made such an impact in his short stallion career, while Phoenix Of Spain’s
sire Lope De Vega is by Shamardal. He had such an outstanding year in 2019, siring the unbeaten juvenile colts and Group 1 winners Victor Ludorum, Earthlight and Pinatubo, crowned European champion, and the Royal Ascot sprint king Blue Point.
Lope De Vega himself had two new
Group 1 winners in 2019 with Zabeel Prince gaining a richly deserved win in the Prix d’Ispahan, Santa Ana Lane added a fifth Group 1 sprint success to his resume in Australia, while Manuela De Vega failed by a neck to reel in Nancho in the Group 1 Grosser Preis von Berlin.
He also had four stakes winners in his juvenile crop of 2019 with three successful
at Group 3 level – the Round Tower Stakes winner Lope Y Fernandez, Ecrivain in the Prix des Chenes, while Max Vega (Dalakhani) won the Zetland Stakes. Platinum Star (Acclamation) was successful in the Listed Champion Two-Year-Old Trophy at Ripon.
Lope De Vega has enjoyed a high level
of success with mares by Danehill and his sons with 33 per cent of his Group 1 winners having either Danehill or one of his sons as their broodmare sire.
The European champion two-year-old Belardo is out of a Danehill mare, Santa Ana Lane has Fastnet Rock as his broodmare sire and Grade 1 Natalma Stakes winner Capla Temptress is out of a Dansili mare.
Lope Y Fernandez is another to have Dansili as his broodmare sire, while the multiple Group 2 winner and Group 1 Falmouth Stakes second Very Special is out of a Danehill mare.
Lope De Vega has two lines to Mr. Prospector in his pedigree but in common with other sires bred on similar lines, such as No Nay Never, the introduction of a third and

different strain of Mr. Prospector can also prove successful, although Lope De Vega’s Group 3 winner Burnt Sugar has three lines of Machiavellian in her pedigree.
Zabeel Prince is out of an Unbridled’s Song mare as is the Listed winner and Group 1-placed Consort, while No Nay Never has Group 2 winners Arizona and Chestnut Honey out of English Channel and Chester House mares, and incidentally his Group 1 winner Ten Sovereigns is out of an Exceed And Excel mare.
Study Of Man
Deep Impact – Second Happiness (Storm Cat)
Lanwades Stud
£15,000
The first son of the legendary Deep Impact to retire straight to stud in England, Prix du Jockey-Club winner Study Of Man has an exquisite female family.
From one of the Niarchos family’s most treasured pedigrees, the Classic winner is a fascinating stallion prospect for Lanwades.
Trained by Pascal Bary for the Niarchos family, Study Of Man won his only start at two and was second in the Group 3 Prix La Force over 1m1f on his seasonal debut at three.
A commanding victory in the Group 2 Prix Greffulhe over the Prix du Jockey-Club trip made him a leading contender for that Classic and he duly delivered at Chantilly winning in an easier manner than the winning margin would suggest. Behind him that day were Group 1 winners Intellogent, Olmedo and Flag Of Honour.
He failed to win again in three more 2018 starts, but was only four and a half lengths behind Enable in the Group 1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe on his final run of the season.
At four he returned in the Group 1 Prix Ganay where he found only Waldgeist too good and he filled the same position in the Group 1 Prix d’Ispahan behind Zabeel Prince.
In the Group 3 Prix Messidor he was tried over a mile for the first time since his debut at two and was beaten less than 2l into second.
His pedigree is exquisite – he is out of the Storm Cat mare Second Happiness, a daughter of the wonderful Miesque.
Study Of Man is a full-brother to Tale Of Life who was successful at two and four in France, and he is a half-brother to the Bago- sired trio of Zen, Mambo Nephew and Happy.
The first two were winners and while Happy was unraced she is the dam of winners Waterboy (Stormy River), who was stakes placed, and Franklyn, a son of Archipenko.
Second Happiness, who ran only three times and was placed once, is a full-sister to the winner Ama. She is the dam of five winners, including the Listed winner Lunar Maria (Dubawi).
It is Second Happiness’s half-siblings, especially the ones by Mr. Prospector, who have enshrined their dam Miesque in the bloodstock pantheon.
Second Happiness is a half-sister to the Group 1 Poule d’Essais des Poulins, Prix du Moulin and St James’s Palace Stakes winner Kingmambo, who became a champion sire and is a leading broodmare sire.
Her Mr. Prospector half-sister Monevassia is the dam of Group 1 Moyglare Stakes and Prix Marcel Boussac winner Rumplestiltskin, who in turn is the dam of Group 1 Yorkshire Oaks winner Tapestry, herself the dam of Group 3 winner John F Kennedy.
Monevassia is also the dam of the Group 3 winner I Am Beautiful and the second dam of Japanese Group 1 winners Real Steal (also a Dubai Turf winner) and
