new sires
Chestnut, a grandson of Sadler’s Wells who stood in South Africa.
Given the proliferation of stallions by Sadler’s Wells, Crystal Ocean looks a stand- out for mares by him, Saddler’s Hall, Old Vic, Milan, Cloudings and Yeats.
Sea The Stars also has five winners from six runners out of Montjeu mares, headed by Listed winner Tashaar. Daughters of Montjeu and his sons including Camelot, Walk In
The Park and grandsons such as Pour Moi and his son Wings Of Eagles also come into consideration.
The 2,000 Guineas, Derby and Arc hero also has a perfect record with Linamix mares and an 80 per cent strike rate with Monsun’s daughters so mares by the likes of Martaline, Slickly, Shirocco, Manduor, Getaway and Gentlewave are also suitable.
Dubai Destination’s daughters should definitely be given a chance as his sire Kingmambo is the broodmare sire of two Group 1 winners by Sea The Stars in Cloth Of Stars and Zelzal.
For owner-breeders and those willing to overlook the vagaries of fashion, Crystal Ocean, a top-class performer as an older horse, should be considered for Flat mares.
Inns Of Court
Invincible Spirit – Learned Friend (Seeking The Gold) Tally-Ho Stud
€7,500
A precocious son of Invincible Spirit who maintained his class through four seasons of tough competition, Inns Of Court brings a fine French pedigree to Irish breeders.
Bred by Darley and trained for Sheikh Mohammed’s operation by André Fabre, Inns Of Court was a talented performer over 5f to a mile, and he made a winning debut over 7f at two, his only start that season.
He won over the same trip on his seasonal reappearance at three and was held in high-enough esteem to be pitched straight into Group 1 company for the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches, in which he finished a creditable sixth.
Dropped in grade and trip for his next start in the Group 3 Prix du Palais-Royale
he returned to winning ways and followed up with a second Group 3 success in next in the Prix de la Porte Maillot, again over 7f.
He stepped up to Group 1 level once more for the Prix Jacques le Marois and was unlucky to lose out to Al Wukair by a short head with dual Dubai World Cup winner Thunder Snow a neck behind in third.
As a four-year-old he won the Group 3
Prix des Ris-Orangis and once more came agonisingly close to making that Group 1 breakthrough, this time a short head behind One Master in the Prix de la Forêt giving her 4lb, and finishing ahead of Gustav Klimt, James Garfield, Polydream and Teppal.
He was also fourth in three Group 3 races at four, over 6f and 7f.
His final season saw him win again, for the fourth year in a row, this time dropping back to 5f for the Group 2 Prix de Gros-Chene having beaten City Light in the 6f Listed Prix Servalan. He retires with a record of seven wins and seven places from 18 starts.
Inns Of Court is bred on the very successful cross of Invincible Spirit over Mr. Prospector-line mares as his dam is
by Seeking The Gold. She is a half-sister to 2019’s Group 1 Kikuka Sho and Tenno Sho (Spring) winner Fierement, a son Japan’s outstanding Deep Impact.
They are out of Lune D’Or (Green Tune), who won the Group 1 Premio Lydia Tesio, the Group 2 Prix de Pomone and the Prix de Malleret, and was placed in the Group 1 Yorkshire Oaks.
Lune D’Or is a Green Tune daughter of the Listed Grand Prix de Compiegne winner Luth d’Or (Noir Et Or), who is a half-sister to the Group 1 Prix du Moulin, the Prix Jacques le Marois winner and the European champion three-year-old Luth Enchantee, who was
also placed in the Group 1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe and Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud. She is the second dam of the Grade 3
Damsel Handicap and Group 3 Prix de Chloe winner Kumba Mela, who was placed in the Group 1 Prix Morny and Prix Marcel Boussac.
Invincible Spirit has Group 1 winners out of mares by Galileo, Pivotal and Indian Ridge so mares by these sires should suit Inns Of Court, while Shalaa is out of a War Chant mare, so has a double helping of Danzig in his pedigree. It means that mares by other Danzig-line sires are options for Inns Of Court –the Group 2 winner and Group 1-placed Muthmir is out of a Danehill mare.
Invincible Spirit over Diktat has produced the Group 2 winner and Group 1-placed Invincible Army and leading first-season sire Cable Bay, so mares by Diktat and his
Group 1-winning sire son Dream Ahead are also suitable for Inns Of Court.
Le Brivido
Siyouni – La Bugatty (Dr Fong)
Overbury Stud
£7,000
The highest-rated winner of the Group 3
Land Force: leads the Richmond Stakes field
Jersey Stakes, Le Brivido was a classy, consistent and tough runner by one of the best stallions in Europe.
Le Brivido impressed many at the 2016 Deauville Breeze-Up when clocking one of the ten fastest times on the day translating into his €105,000 sale to Ted Voute from Longways Stables.
He made an instant impact when winning his racing debut for André Fabre over six and a half furlongs at Chantilly, giving weight to subsequent Grade 1 winner Uni.
That was his only start at two, but the following season he won a 6f conditions race on his debut and went down fighting in the Group 1 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches, losing out in a thrilling finish by a head to Brametot. He bounced back to victory in the Group 3 Jersey Stakes, earning an official rating of 121 for his neck victory over Spirit Of Valour.
It would prove to be his final win for Fabre, and his last run of his three-year-old season.
He ran once at four in France before his transfer to Ballydoyle for his five-year-old season. He ran in the Group 1 Lockinge, the Queen Anne and the Diamond Jubilee Stakes,
