new sires
an Indian Ridge mare who won the King’s Stand Stakes (G2), as well as the Group 3 Temple Stakes and St George Stakes, and she was second in the Group 1 July Cup.
She is a half-sister to Group 2 Coventry Stakes winner and Irish 2,000 Guineas third and sire Verglas (Highest Honor).
She is also a half-sister to the Nashwan mare Aricia, the dam of Listed winners Oh Beautiful and Freedom’s Light (Galileo) and Face The Facts (Nathaniel).
Third dam Rahaam was by Secreto and out of the Mr. Prospector mare Fager’s Glory which adds a third line of Mr. Prospector to the two in No Nay Never’s pedigree.
Land Force’s sire No Nay Never seems to be taking on the mantle left by his sire Scat Daddy. From the same crop as Land Force comes Group 1 Middle Park Stakes and July Cup winner Ten Sovereigns. No Nay Never was third in the table of leading two-year-old sires in Great Britain and Ireland based on earnings, behind only Galileo and Shamardal.
By Group winners, he was Europe’s best second-crop sire with seven Group winners, one more than Kingman. They included the Group 2 Coventry Stakes winner Arizona, placed in the Group 1 Prix Morny, the National and the Dewhurst Stakes, as well as the Group 3 Sommerville Tattersalls Stakes winner and Dewhurst third Wichita, the Group 2 Superlative Stakes winner Mystery Power and Shadn, successful in the Group 2 Criterium de Maisons-Lafitte.
No Nay Never has done very well with mares by Danehill and his sons with Exceed And Excel as the broodmare sire of Ten Sovereigns, but, as Land Force is out of a Rock Of Gibraltar mare, they are ruled out.
Galileo and Sadler’s Wells are the dam- sires of Shadn and the Listed winner Tango, while Peintre Celebre is the dam-sire of Listed winner All The King’s Men, which suggests daughters of Pivotal and perhaps Kyllachy.
No Nay Never has done well with mares by sons and grandsons of Mr. Prospector, and while there are three lines tracing to him in Land Force’s pedigree, just one of them will appear within the first five generations of his foals, so perhaps it would be unwise to rule out such mares.
Eqtidaar
Invincible Spirit – Madany (Acclamation)
Shadwell Stud
£6,000
A Group 1 winner by Invincible Spirit, whose sons are building an empire across the globe, Eqtidaar is a Shadwell home-bred
Mares by
Mr. Prospector-line sires should suit Eqtidaar as, looking through Invincible Spirit’s best performers, many are out of descendants of the great sire
who was bred for pure speed.
One of 18 Group 1 winners by the
Haydock Sprint Cup winner Invincible Spirit, Eqtidaar won the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot defeating other top level winners Sands Of Mali, Sioux Nation and Unfortunately.
Trained by Sir Michael Stoute, he broke his maiden first time out and was placed in the
6f Group 3 Sirenia Stakes on his only other start at two.
His three-year-old career encompassed a second placing in the Group 3 Pavilion Stakes at Ascot and a fourth in the Listed Carnarvon Stakes before his Royal Ascot Triumph, for which he earned an official rating of 114.
Eqtidaar is a half-brother to Massaat (Teofilo), who won the Group 2 Hungerford Stakes, finished second in the Dewhurst Stakes (G1) and third in the Prix du Moulin (G1). They are two of the three winners so far out of the Acclamation mare Madany, who won twice and was placed on four further occasions, all over 6f.
From a wonderful Knocktoran and Kilfrush Stud family, she is a daughter of the winning Law Society mare Belle De Cadix and a half-sister to the French Listed winner Zeiting. She is dam of Group 2 winner Combat Zone (Refuse To Bend) and the Group 3-winning Teofilo full-brothers Scottish and Royal Empire.
She is also the dam of the Group 3 placed- Montjeu filly Bikini Babe and her Pivotal half-sister Zut Alors, also placed in a Group 3 and who is best known as the dam of Group 1 Poule d’Essais des Poulains winner Precieuse (Tamayuz).
Belle De Cadix is also the dam of the
Group 3 Prix du Bois winner and
Group 2 Prix Robert Papin second Dolled Up by Whipper.
Sire Invincible Spirit added a first
British Classic winner to his growing list of accomplishments in 2019 with the victory of Magna Grecia in the 2,000 Guineas, while his young European sire sons Kingman and Cable Bay are writing headlines for themselves.
Kingman produced a Classic winner from his first crop, the Group 1 Poule d’Essais
des Pouliches winner Persian King and his Coventry Stakes winner Calyx will stand at Coolmore in 2020.
Cable Bay’s first runners made a real splash with the Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes runner-up supplying 25 winners in Europe on a winners to runners ratio of 37 per cent. He had seven black-type horses, four of them Group performers, headed by the Group 3 Molecomb Stakes and Listed Dragon Stakes winner Liberty Beach.
In Australia, such is the success of I Am Invincible that he was chosen to be Winx’s first mate. A champion first-season sire, champion sire of two-year-olds and second overall in the Australian sire’s list for the past two seasons, the five-time winner has carried all before him and is the sire of nine individual Group 1 winners.
Eqtidaar’s dam-sire Acclamation was himself a classy sprinter from two to four, and is no slouch as a sire either with nine sons at stud and five individual Group 1 winners including Breeders’ Cup Mile hero Expert Eye.
The combination of Invincible Spirit and Acclamation is pure speed on speed and an affordable, but high-quality option for mare owners.
Mares by Mr. Prospector-line sires should suit Eqtidaar as, looking through Invincible Spirit’s best performers, many of them are out of descendants of the great sire.
Kingman’s dam-sire is Zamindar, Territories is out of a Machiavellian mare as is Hooray, while National Defense is out of a Kingmambo mare.
Signs Of Blessing and Inns Of Court have Seeking The Gold as their broodmare sire and Speaking Of Which is out of a daughter of Mr. Prospector himself.
Acclamation also has an affinity with mares from that sire line, particularly daughters of Machiavellian, who is the broodmare sire of Dark Angel, of the multiple Group 2 winner and Group 1-placed young sire Mehmas, while Harbour Watch is out of a Woodman mare.
