FIRST MARE IS IN FOAL TO KEEPMEINMIND

FREUD

A brother to three-time Leading Sire, Giant’s Causeway, Storm Cat’s son, Freud has emerged as an outstanding stallion in his own right. To date he is sire of more than 70 stakes winners, including U.S. grade one winners Sharp Azteca, Fourstar Crook, Giant Ryan, Franny Freud and Must Go On.

Giant’s Causeway has been exceptional with Mr. Prospector line mares, and Freud has also had his share of success out with mares from this line. His stakes winning and grade one performing daughter Quick Little Miss is out of a daughter of Unbridled and stakes winner Sport Model is out of a mare by Rockport Harbour, who is by Unbridled’s son, Unbridled’s Song, himself sire of Freud stakes winner Bavaro. Other sources of Unbridled’s Song include Arrogate, Songandaprayer, Liam’s Map, Mission Impazible, Midshipman, Cross Traffic, Dunkirk, Graydar, Half Ours, Old Fashioned, Will Take Charge and Noonmark. Unbridled could also be brought in through Broken Vow and Empire Maker (sire of Pioneerof the Nile and Bodemeister, and grandsire of American Pharoah, Cairo Prince and Classic Empire. Unbridled is by Fappiano, a strain that has also worked under Giant’s Causeway through Quiet American (grandsire of Midnight Lute), Defensive Play, Rubiano (sire of Too Much Bling and Burning Roma) and Cryptoclearance – broodmare sire of a Freud stakes winner – and Ride the Rails, the sire of Candy Ride (himself the sire of Twiling Candy).

From the Forty Niner line, Freud’s multiple stakes winner Effie Trinket is out of a daughter of Editor’s Note, stakes winner Mah Jong Madness out of a mare by Jules, and multiple stakes winner Darrin’s Dilemma out of a mare by Precise End (by End Sweep also sire of Trippi), and this line can also be brought in through Distorted Humor (broodmare sire of a grade one winner by Giant’s Causeway, and sire of Maclean’s Music, Jimmy Creed, Drosselmeyer ), Coronado’s Quest, Roar, Gold Case, and Gold Fever. From a mare by Lemon Drop Kid, Freud has multiple stakes winner Lovely Syn, and he also has a stakes winner out of a mare by that horse’s sire, Kingmambo. Out of mares from other branches of the Mr. Prospector line Freud also has a stakes winner out of a mare by Read The Footnotes (by Smoke Glacken), stakes winners out of mares by Good and Tough and Flying Chevron (both by Carson City, also sire of City Zip, Lord Carson, Five Star Day, Cuvee and Pollard’s Vision), Silver Ghost, Distinctive Pro, Double Negative and Rodeo, a son of Gone West, a horse who has also done well under Giant’s Causeway, and can also be introduced through Grand Slam (sire of Limehouse), Elusive Quality (sire of Quality Road, Smarty Jones and Great Notion), Speightstown (sire of Munnings and Central Banker), Mr. Greeley (sire of El Corredor and Whywhywhy) and Proud Citizen.

From other branches of Mr. Prospector, Giant’s Causeway also has a grade one winner out of a mare by Numerous; a stakes winner by Smart Strike (sire of Curlin, Lookin At Lucky and English Channel); and stakes winners out of mares by Mutakddim and his sire Seeking the Gold (also sire of Petionville, and Cape Town), Machiavellian (sire of Street Cry; grandsire of Street Sense), Crafty Prospector (sire of Robyn Dancer and Prospectors Gamble), Distinctive Pro, Lycius, Jade Hunter, Gulch and his sons Thunder Gulch (sire of Point Given) and Torrential, and Hansel and Mujtahid (both by Woodman).

Freud has the spectacular grade one winner Sharp Azteca out of a mare by Saint Liam, and a graded winner out of a mare by Twilight Agenda. Saint Liam is by Saint Ballado and Twilight Agenda by Devil’s Bag, these two being brothers by Halo. Freud carries Halo through Glorious Song, a sister to both Devil’s Bag and Saint Ballado. Devil’s Bag is also sire of Devil His Due, Abaginone and Diablo. Saint Ballado is sire of Captain Bodgit, Sweetsouthernsaint, Yankee Victor, Straight Man and Flame Thrower, Other sources of Halo include Sunny’s Halo, Jolie’s Halo, Halo’s Image, and Southern Halo (sire of More Than Ready). Halo is a son of Hail to Reason, and Freud has graded stakes winning millionaire Lubush out of mare by Cure the Blues, and a graded winner out of a mare by that horse’s son, American Chance, from the Stop the Music branch of Hail to Reason. From the Roberto branch of Hail to Reason, Freud has stakes winners out of mares by You and I and Prized (both by Kris S., who is also broodmare sire of a Freud stakes winner, and who is also sire of Arch, Rock Hard Ten and Kissin Kris). This would also encourage trying mares from the Dynaformer, Red Ransom and Silver Hawk branches of Roberto.

From the Northern Dancer line, Freud is sire of grade one winner Giant Ryan out of a mare by Dayjur and multiple stakes winner Dreamsgonewild, by Strolling Along, both sons of Danzig (sire of Belong to Me, Exchange Rate, Boundary, War Chant, Langfuhr, Lost Solider, Hard Spun and War Front), and graded winner Key Dance, out of a mare by Orpen (a grandson of Danzig out of a mare by Devil’s Bag). From other branches of Northern Dancer, he also has near$900,000 earner Hessonite from a daughter of Manila (by Lyphard) and multiple stakes winner Merriweather Jessica from a mare by Northern Jove. Giant’s Causeway has also sired a grade one winner out of a mare by Dixieland Band, the sire of Dixie Union (broodmare sire of a Freud stakes winner, and sire of Union Rags), Dixie Brass (broodmare sire of a Freud stakes winner) and Hook and Ladder. Out of mares from the Deputy Minister line, Freud has multiple stakes winner Freudie Anne from a daughter of Toccet (by Awesome Again) and stake winner P J’s Superego out of a mare by The Prime Minister, encouraging daughters of Dehere, Silver Deputy, Touch Gold, French Deputy and Forest Camp. Freud’s grade two winner Orange Nugget is out of a mare by Louis Quartoze (sire of Repent).

Freud has a stakes winner out of a mare by A.P. Indy, grade one winner Summer Love out of a mare by his son Pulpit, and a stakes winner out of a mare by another son of A.P. Indy, Friends Lake. Pulpit can be brought in through Tapit (sire of Constitution, Frosted, Tapizar, Tapiture, Tonalist, Trappe Shot and Concord Point), Sky Mesa, Stroll, Corinthian, Mr. Speaker and Corinthian and is also grandsire of California Chrome. Other sources of A.P. Indy including Malibu Moon, Mineshaft (sire of Discreetly Mine and Dialed In), Flatter (sire of Flat Out and Upstart), Congrats, Girolamo, Jump Start and Majestic Perfection.

From his own broodmare sire line, that of Blushing Groom, Freud has stakes winners out of mares by Cherokee Run (sire of Kafwain and Yonaguska) and Orientate and Housebuster (both by Mt. Livermore, also sire of Peaks and Valleys).

Freud has two stakes winners out of mares by Honour and Glory (sire of Put It Back), a son of Relaunch, a strain also available through Tiznow (sire of Tiz Wonderful, Colonel John, Gemologist and Tizway) and Officer.

MISSION IMPAZIBLE

A multiple graded stakes winning millionaire, Mission Impazible is an Unbridled’s Song son who is closely related to Champion Two-Year-Old Filly Jaywalk. The Leading Freshman Sire in New York, he’s gone on to become a reliable stakes sire.

The Storm Cat branch of Northern Dancer appears in the broodmare sire line of more than 50 Unbridled’s Song line stakes winners. This includes Mission Impazible’s Adirondack Stakes (G2) winner, Pure Silver, out a mare by Forest Wildcat (sire of D’Wildcat and Wildcat Heir), and his stakes winner Ben Z Rolls out of a mare by Catienus. On other versions of the Unbridled’s Song/Storm Cat cross there are grade one winners out of mares by Storm Cat himself, Bernstein, and Hennessy and his son Johannesburg. Hennessy is sire of Henny Hughes (also broodmare sire of an Unbridled’s Song stakes winner, and of Cactus Ridge, and grandsire of Scat Daddy. There are also graded stakes winners out of mares by Lion Heart (by Tale of the Cat, himself broodmare sire of an Unbridled’s Song line stakes winner, and also sire of Tale of Ekati and grandsire of Uncaptured and Kantharos), Storm Creek and Vision and Verse; and stakes winners out of mares by Giant’s Causeway (a brother to Freud, and sire of First Samurai, Creative Cause, Not This Time, Brody’s Cause, Carpe Diem, Cowboy Cal and Eskendereya), Stormy Atlantic, Forestry, Tabasco Cat, Storm Boot, Pure Prize, Storm Creek, Menifee (by Harlan, also sire of Harlan’s Holiday and grandsire of Into Mischief, Majesticperfection and ), Van Nistelrooy and Consolidator. Unbridled’s Song also has a grade one winner out of a mare by Summer Squall (a Storm Bird son bred on the same cross as Storm Cat).

Mission Impazible is half-brother to grade one winner and graded stakes sire Forest Camp. That horse is a son of Deputy Minister, and Mission Impazible has already sired Tremont Stakes winner, Silver Mission, out of a mare by Deputy Minister son, Silver Deputy (sire of Posse, Badge of Silver, Spring At Last, J Be K and Archers Bay) and multiple stakes placed Ethan Hunt out of a mare by Deputy Minister himself. Overall, the cross of Unbridled’s Song and sons with Deputy Minister line mares has produced 25 stakes winners, including grade one winners from daughters of Dehere (sire of Graeme Hall) and French Deputy, graded winners out of a mares by Deputy Minister himself, as well as Touch Gold and Service Stripe, and stakes winners out of mares by Awesome Again (sire of Ghostzapper, Paynter, Oxbow, Awesome Patriot, Toccet and Awesome of Course), Salt Lake, Deputy Commander and Defrere.

Storm Cat and Deputy Minister are both from the Northern Dancer line, and the cross of Unbridled’s Song and his sons over mares descending from Northern Dancer through Danzig has produced nearly 30 stakes winners, including from daughters of Chief’s Crown (sire of Concerto; grandsire of Bellamy Road), Langfuhr (sire of Lawyer Ron), Hard Spun, Exchange Rate, Polish Numbers, Belong to Me, Pine Bluff, Boundary (sire of Big Brown) and Corridor Key, with other options including, War Chant and War Front (who might be particularly interesting and who could be brought in through Declaration of War, Summer Front and Hit it a Bomb).

Mission Impazible is sire of the four time stakes winner Espresso Shot out of a mare by Medaglia d’Oro, from the Sadler’s Wells branch of Northern Dancer. Medaglia d’Oro is also sire of Warrior’s Reward and Violence, and is a son of El Prado, also sire of Kitten’s Joy and Artie Schiller. Sadler’s Wells could also be brought in through Magician, Capo Blanco, Powerscourt and Horse Chestnut. From the Dixieland Band branch of Northern Dancer, there are Unbridled’s Song line stakes winners out of mares by Dixieland Band himself, as wells Dixie Union (sire of Union Rags), Citidancer, Dixieland Heat, Dixie Brass and Disco Rico, which also would encourage considering mares by Hook and Ladder.

Mission Impazible has sired stakes winner Forgotten Hero out of a mare by Seattle Slew son, Seattle Sleet, and from the A.P. Indy branch of that line he has stakes winners Dream Bigger out of a mare by Sky Mesa and stakes winner Jolting Joe out of a mare by Tapit, these both being sons of Pulpit. Tapit could be brought in through Frosted, Constitution, Tapizar, Tapiture, Tonalist, Flashback and Cupid), and other sources of Pulpit include Stroll, California Chrome, Sightseeing and Corinthian. Looking at other A.P. Indy line hroses, Bernardini (sire of Stay Thirsty, To Honor and Serve and Alpha), who is bred similarly to Tapit, has been particularly good and other A.P. Indy line sires who have worked iunder Unbridled’s Song including Flatter (sire of Flat Out and Upstart) – a brother to Congrats – Mineshaft (sire of Discreetly Mine and Dialed In) and Stevie Wonderboy (by Stephen Got Even), which would also suggest mares by Majestic Warrior, Jump Start and Take Charge Indy.

Unbridled enjoyed a strong affinity with mares by Caro, Unbridled’s Song being an example. In turn, Unbridled’s Song has a grade one winner out of a mare by Dr. Carter (a son of Caro), and a graded stakes winner out of a mare by Siberian Express (by a son of Caro), and his son, Songandaprayer, sired a graded stakes winner out of a mare by Caro son With Approval. Other good sources of Caro would be Cozzene and his son Alphabet Soup (broodmare sire of an Unbridled’s Song stakes winner) and In Excess, via Indian Charlie, broodmare sire of seven Unbridled’s Song line stakes winners. Indian Charlis is sire of Uncle Mo (sire of Nyquist, Laoban and Outwork), Adios Charlie, Liaison and Cindago.

The cross of Unbridled’s Song with mares descending from Blushing Groom, has produced stakes winners out of mares by Mt. Livermore and his sons, Housebuster, Orientate and Peaks and Valleys, Rahy (broodmare sire of a graded stakes winner by Unbridled) and Runaway Groom (sire of Cherokee Run; grandsire of Yonaguska and Kafwain).

Unbridled’s Song and his sons have also found success when bred back over mares from certain branches of his own Mr. Prospector sire line. The Gone West branch has done particularly well with a grade one winner out of a mare by Mr. Greeley, and a graded winner out of a mare by his son, El Corredor, as well as graded winners out of mares Gone West himself, as well as Proud Citizen, Smarty Jones (by Elusive Quality, also sire of Quality Road and Great Notion), Speightstown (sire of Munnings and Central Banker) and Came Home. The cross with mares from the Forty Niner branch has found success through Distorted Humor – the broodmare sire of Unbridled’s Song’s brilliant son, Arrogate, and sire of Flower Alley, MacLean’s Music, Jimmy Creed, Drosselmeyer and Sharp Humor – as well as Tactical Advantage, Trippi (by End Sweep) – the broodmare sire of Liam’s Map – Gold Case and Luhuk, with this strain also available through Coronado’s Quest, Roar, Gold Fever and Editor’s Note. There is a graded stakes winner out of a mare by Seeking the Gold, two stakes winners, one graded out of mares by that horses’s son, Mutakddim, and a graded winner out of a mare by another son, Cape Town, and Seeking the Gold is also sire of Petionville. Champion Forever Unbridled is by Unbridled’s Song out of a mare by Lemon Drop Kid (by Kingmambo), and there is a grade one winner out of a mare by Smart Strike (sire of Curlin, Lookin At Lucky and English Channel), and there is also a stakes winner out of a mare by Fusaichi Pegasus.

We can also note that there is a graded stakes winner out of a mare by Colonel John and a stakes winner out of a mare by his sire, Tiznow (with Tiznow also sire of Tiz Wonderful, Gemologist and Tizway) and there are two Unbridled’s Song line stakes winners, one graded out of mares by Macho Uno, and another out of a mare by his sire, Holy Bull (also sire of Flashy Bull).

FIRE AT WILL

Undefeated in stakes competition at two, Fire At Will broke his maiden in a black-type stakes sprinting on the dirt, and marked himself as one of the best two-year-olds in the world on the grass with an impressive three lengths victory over an international field in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf (G1). He is by Declaration of War, a European Champion and classic sire who is the leading stallion son of War Front. Out of a mare by twice Leading Sire Kitten’s Joy, Fire At Will stems from the remarkable family of Rough Shod II, ancestress of at least 30 grade one sires, including the legendary Sadler’s Wells and Nureyev.

Fire At Will is an example of the very successful cross of War Front and his sons with Sadler’s Wells line mares which through mares by Galileo has produced two classic winners by Declaration of War. Sadler’s Wells will back in the fifth generation of Fire At Will’s foals, and this will allow him to cross back over Sadler’s Wells line mares. Galileo been represented in the U.S. by Noble Mission, Magician, Cape Blanco and Treasure Bay, and other other Sadlers’ Wells line horses to have stood in North America include Horse Chestnut, Perfect Soul, Northern Spur, Powerscourt and Sligo Bay. Fire At Will’s strain of Sadler’s Wells comes through El Prado, but this will be in his fourth generation his foals, and there are already stakes winners with El Prado inbreeding, which opens the possibility of trying that strain through mares by Medaglia d’Oro (himself broodmare sire of a Declaration of War stakes winner, and sire of Violence, Fast Anna, Vancouver, Astern and Warrior’s Reward), Artie Schiller and Paddy O’Prado.

Declaration of War also has a stakes winner out of a mare by a grandson of Nureyev, a three-quarters brother to Sadler’s Wells, which would encourage trying mares descending from Theatrical, Fasliyev (broodmare sire of a Declaration of War stakes winner), Peintre Celebre, Stravinsky (broodmare sire of a Declaration of War graded stakes winner), Unusual Heat, Atticus and Spinning World (broodmare sire of a Declaration of War stakes winner).

From another branch of Northern Dancer, Declaration of War has four stakes winners out of Storm Cat line mares including from daughters of Hennessy (sire of Johannesburg, Henny Hughes and Cactus Ridge; grandsire of Scat Daddy) and Giant’s Causeway (sire of Eskendereya, Shamardal, First Samurai, Creative Cause, Not This Time and Carpe Diem), himself a brother to Freud. It would be interesting to bring in Storm Cat through Stormy Atlantic, a half-brother to the third dam of Fire At Will, and Storm Boot, who is also from this same family, with other sources including Tale of the Cat (sire of Lion Heart and Tale of Ekati and grandsire of Kantharos and Uncaptured), Harlan’s Holiday (sire of Into Mischief, Majesticperfection and Shanghai Bobby), Forestry (sire of Discreet Cat and Shackleford), After Market, Bluegrass Cat, Cat Thief, Stormin Fever, Forest Wildcat (sire of D’Wildcat and Wildcat Heir), Bernstein, Mountain Cat, Sir Cat, High Yield and Tabasco Cat.

Declaration of War and War Front have both done well with the Fappiano branch of Mr. Prospector, and Declaration of War has two stakes winners out of mares by Empire Maker, a son of Unbridled who is sire of Pioneerof the Nile and Bodemeister, and grandsire of American Pharoah, Cairo Prince and Classic Empire. Declaration of War has a stakes winner out a mare by another son of Unbridled, Unbridled’s Song, who has also done very well under War Front. Unbridled’s Song can be brought in through Liam’s Map, Arrogate, Songandaprayer, Cross Traffic, Rockport Harbor, First Defence, Old Fashioned, Half Ours, Dunkirk, Even The Score, Graydar, Mission Impazible and Noonmark. It would also be possible to bring Unbridled in through Broken Vow and Grindstone (sire of Birdstone) and other branches of Fappiano that could be worth considering include Quiet American, including through Midnight Lute, Cryptoclearance (sire of Victory Gallop; grandsire of Candy Ride, who in turn is sire of Twirling Candy), and Rubiano (sire of Too Much Bling and Burning Roma).

From the Gone West branch of Mr. Prospector, Declaration of War has sired graded stakes winner Opry out of a mare by Speightstown (sire of Munnings, Speightster and Central Banker), a graded stakes winner out of a mare by Zafonic, and a stakes winner out of a mare by Raven’s Pass, a son of Elusive Quality (sire of Quality Road, Smarty Jones and Great Notion), while there is a War Front stakes winner out of a mare by Mr. Greeley (sire of El Corredor, Whywhywhy and Greeley’s Galaxy). This also encourages considering mares by Grand Slam (sire of Limehouse) and Proud Citizen.

Still with the Mr. Prospector line, Declaration of War grade one winner Gufo is out of a mare by Petionville, and Declaration of War also has a stakes winner out of a mare by that horse’s sire, Seeking the Gold (who is also available through Mutakkdim and Cape Town). The War Front cross with mares from the Forty Niner branch has been a grade one-producing one and has worked for Declaration of War through Distorted Humor (sire of Flower Alley, Sharp Humor, Drosselmeyer, Maclean’s Music and Jimmy Creed), with additional success for War Front over mares by Coronado’s Quest and Trippi, Forty Niner can also be found through Editor’s Note, End Sweep, Jules, Luhuk, Gold Fever, Banker’s Gold, Roar and Twining. Fusaichi Pegasus – a horse bred like Distorted Humor – is broodmare of a Declaration of War graded stakes winner, and he is available through Roman Ruler and Bandini (again giving linebreeding to the family of Fire At Wil).

There is a War Front grade one winner out of a mare by Smart Strike, whose sons include Curlin – already broodmare sire of a graded stakes winner by Declaration of War – Lookin at Lucky and English Channel. There are graded stakes winners out of mares by Street Cry and his son Street Sense (broodmare sire of a Declaration of War graded stakes winner), with Street Boss, Street Party, Street Magician, New Year’s Day and Street Hero being other sources of that line. A son of War Front has a grade one winner out of a mare by City Zip, a son of Carson City, and a stakes winner out of mare by Five Star Day (also broodmare sire of Hit It a Bomb’s first crop graded performer, Costa Rica) which also suggests daughters of Pollard’s Vision or Cuvee, and Declaration of War has a graded stakes winner out of a mare by Gulch, sire of Thunder Gulch, and grandsire of Point Given.

War Front and sons have enjoyed tremendous success with mares from the A.P. Indy line. Particularly effective has been the cross with daughters of Pulpit, which has produced at least 13 stakes winners. This includes multiple graded stakes winner Silver Prospector, by Declaration of War out of a mare by Tapit (sire of Tapizar, Tapiture, Constitution, Tonalist. Frosted and Trappe Shot), which suggests other Pulpit sons, such as Sky Mesa (also broodmare sire of a War Front line stakes winner) and Stroll. There are also War Front stakes winners out of mares by Flatter (a brother to Congrats), Malibu Moon and Old Trieste, which also suggests trying daughters of Mineshaft (broodmare sire of a Declaration of War stakes winner and sire of Discreetly Mine and Dialed In), Bernardini and Girolamo.

The cross of War Front and sons with Roberto line mares has proved to be a very profitable one. Fire at Will’s second dam is by Arch, a grandson of Roberto, and she is a close relative to Blame, who would be interesting here. Arch is by Kris S. also sire of Brocco (broodmare sire of a War Front line stakes winner), Kissin Kris, Prized and Rock Hard Ten. There are two grade one winners by War Front out of mares by Roberto son Red Ransom (broodmare sire of a Declaration of War stakes winner), and three stakes winners out of mares by Dynaformer (sire of Point of Entry, Brilliant Speed and Temple City). Roberto is a Hail to Reason line horse, and from the Halo branch of that line there is a Declaration of War stakes winner out of a mare by More Than Ready (sire of Ready’s Image, Daredevil and Verrazano).

War Front carries Moon Glitter, sister to the influential sire, Relaunch, there are already three War Front line grade one winners with Relaunch in the dam.. We can note that War Front has grade one winners out of mares by Relaunch line stallions Officer and Tiznow (sire of Tiz Wonderful, Colonel John, Gemologist and Tizway). There is also a graded stakes winner of a mare by Relaunch son, Honour and Glory (sire of Put it Back).

From the Blushing Groom line, War Front has a champion out of a mare by Rahy and a grade two winner out of a mare by Housebuster (by Mt. Livermore, also the sire of Orientate), while Declaration of War also has a stakes winner out of a mare from that line. War Front also has a champion out of a mare by Maria’s Mon (sire of Super Saver and Monarchos) and grade one winner out of a mare by Known Fact.

HONEST MISCHIEF

A stakes winning sprinter by Into Mischief, Honest Mischief comes from a stallion producing family. A half-brother to the champion siring, First Defence, he is out of grade one winner Honest Lady, one of Seattle Slew’s fastest daughters. Herself out of grade one winner and Broodmare the Year Toussaud, Honest Lady was not only a brilliant sprinter, but is also half-sister to classic winner and outstanding sire, Empire Maker and to grade one winner and grade one sire Chester House.

The Into Mischief cross with mares from the Gone West branch of Mr. Prospector has been an extremely successful one. Daughters of Mr. Greeley have supplied Kentucky Derby (G1) and Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1) winner Authentic and stakes winner More Mischief; grade one winners Mia Mischief and Mischievous Alex are out of mares by Speightstown (sire of Munnings and Central Banker); from a mare by Grand Slam, Into Mischief sired graded winner Strict Compliance, and he has graded winner Somebeyay out of a mare by Grand Slam son, Limehouse. There are also Into Mischief stakes winners out of mares by Gone West sons Elusive Quality (sire of Quality Road, Smarty Jones and Great Notion) and Proud Mischief.

Into Mischief has sired the brilliant Goldencents out of a mare by Banker’s Gold, and seven stakes winners, including grade one winners Life is Good and Practical Joke, out of mares by Distorted Humor (sire of Flower Alley – himself broodmare of an Into Mischief graded stakes winner – Sharp Humor, Drosselmeyer, Maclean’s Music and Jimmy Creed). Banker’s Gold and Distorted Humor are both sons of Forty Niner, a stallion who could also be introduced through mares by Coronado’s Quest, Gold Fever, Roar (broodmare sire of an Into Mischief stakes winner), Trippi (broodmare sire of an Into Mischief graded winner) and Twining.

Into Mischief has crossed well with mares from the Fappiano line particularly through Unbridled, who appears as broodmare sire of his brilliant daughter Covfefe. There are four stakes winners out of mares by Unbridled’s Song, as well graded winner Maximus Mischief out of a mare by his son, Songandaprayer, and a stakes winner out of a mare by his three-quarters brother, Malabar Gold. Other sons of Unbridled’s Song including Liam’s Map, Mission Impazible, Midshipman, Rockport Harbor, Cross Traffic, Dunkirk, Graydar, Half Ours, Old Fashioned, Will Take Charge and Noonmark.

There is also a stakes winner out of a mare by Empire Maker (sire of Pioneerof the Nile and Bodemeister, and grandsire of American Pharoah, Cairo Prince and Classic Empire). Any mare with Empire Maker in the pedigree will be particularly interesting here, doubling the elite mare Toussaud. A son of Into Mischief has a stakes winner out of a mare by Broken Vow, and Grindstone and his son Birdstone are also worth considering. From the Cryptoclearance branch of Fappiano Into Mischief has graded stakes winner Conquest Enforcer out of a mare by Victory Gallop, and two stakes winners out of mares by Candy Ride (sire of Twirling Candy, who also gives inbreeding to Toussaud).

Into Mischief has graded winner Golden Mischief out of a mare by Mr. Prospector son, Carson City, and graded winner Gas Station Sushi out of a mare by Carson City son Five Star Day, which also suggests daughters of City Zip. Into Mischief has sired stakes winners out of daughters of Mutakddim and Bob and John (both by Seeking the Gold, also sire of Petionville and Cape Town), and graded stakes winner Miss Mischief out of a mare by Lemon Drop Kid (by Kingmambo). Overall, almost any strain of Mr. Prospector might prove positive here, but we can note that Into Mischief has also sired graded winner Bye Bye out of a mare by Smart Strike (sire of Curlin – himself now broodmare sire of an Into Mischief stakes winner – Lookin At Lucky and English Channel) also has stakes winners out of mares by Thunder Gulch and Pulling Punches (by Two Punch, also sire of Smoke Glacken). It would also be interesting to experiment with mares by Street Sense, whose granddam is half-sister to Mr. Greeley, the broodmare sire of Authentic. From another branch of the sire line stemming from Mr. Prospector’s sire, Raise a Native, that of Majestic Prince, Into Mischief has graded stakes winner Mighty Mischief out of a mare by Super Saver (by Maria’s Mon), himself sire of Runhappy.

Turning to the Northern Dancer line, we find that Into Mischief has enjoyed considerable success with mares from the Danzig line, including graded winner Can The Man out of a mare by Danzig himself, graded stakes winner Ain’t Easy out of a mare by Fastnet Rock (from the Danehill branch), a graded stakes winner out of a mare by Hard Spun, and stakes winners out of mares by Lil’s Lad and Polish Numbers. There are a number of other sources of Danzig that would appeal here, including Belong to Me, War Front (sire of Declaration of War, The Factor, Summer Front and Hit it a Bomb) and Exchange Rate.

Into Mischief’s graded stakes winner Vyjack is out of a mare by Stravinsky, a son of the Northern Dancer horse, Nureyev. Other sources of Nureyev include Fasliyev, Spinning World, Theatrical and Atticus. He is also emerging as an option for the Medaglia d’Oro branch of Sadler’s Wells – a three-quarters brother to Nureyev – with a stakes winner out of a mare by Medaglia d’Oro (by El Prado) and another out of a mare by that horse’s son, Warrior’s Reward, with Medaglia d’Oro also being sire of Violence. This would suggest trying mares by other El Prado sons, Kitten’s Joy and Artie Schiller

Honest Mischief’s dam is by Seattle Slew, which could make it worth trying him over mares from the sire line of Seattle Slew son A.P. Indy. On this cross we can note Into Mischief millionaire Owendale and graded winner Twenty Carat out of mares by Bernardini (sire of Stay Thirsty and To Honor and Serve) and graded stakes winner Hoosier Philly out mare by the similarly-bred Tapit (sire of Constitution, Cupid, Frosted, Tapizar, Tonalist, Tapiture and Trappe Shot). There are also Into Mischief line stakes winners out of mares by A.P Indy sons Aptitude and Congrats (a brother to Flatter), which additionally suggests introducing Pulpit (sire of Tapit as well as Sky Mesa and Stroll) as well as Malibu Moon, Mineshaft (sire of Dialed In and Discreetly Mine) and Girolamo.

From the Relaunch line, Into Mischief has sired Champion Two-Year-Old Filly Wonder Wheel out of a mare by Tiz Wonderful, and graded winner Comical out of sister to Colonel John, both by Tiznow, and a son of Into Mischief is sire of multiple graded winner Mr. Money out of a mare by Tiznow (also sire of Gemologist and Tizway). From this line, Into Mischief also has a stakes winner out of a mare by Honour and Glory (sire of Put It Back), and a stakes winner out of a mare by Skywalker (sire of Bertrando and grandsire of Officer).

Into Mischief’s spectatular daughter Gamine is out of a mare by Kafwain, and he also has graded winner One Liner out of a mare by that horse’s sire, Cherokee Run, and a stakes winner out of a mare by another son of that horse, Yonaguska. Into Mischief’s sire, Harlan’s Holiday sired Champion Shanghai Bobby out of a mare by Orientate (by Mt. Livermore, also sire of Housebuster and Peaks and Valleys), who is also broodmare sire of graded winner Wildman Jack by a son of Into Mischief. There is also a stakes winner by Into Mischief out of a mare by Blushing Groom son, Rahy.

Into Mischief is sire of grade one winner Audible out of a mare by Gilded Time, from the Damascus line, and also has a graded winner Mischievous Mama out of a mare by Afternoon Deelites, who is also from that line and by Private Terms, a son of Private Account (who is available through Corporate Report, Personal Flag, Unaccounted For, Secret Hello and Valley Crossing). We can also note that Into Mischief has a graded winners Dayoutoftheoffice and Frank’s Rockette out of mares by Indian Charlie, sire of Uncle Mo (sire of Nyquist, Laoban and Outwork), Adios Charlie, Liaison and Cindago.

KEEPMEINMIND

Winner of the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes (G2) at two, Keepmeinmind won or placed in five other graded stakes including the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1), Breeders’ Futurity (G1) and Woodward Stakes (G1). A son of Laoban, he is from the powerful Uncle Mo sireline.

Laoban sired grade one winning two-year-old Simply Ravishing out of a mare by More Than Ready, from the Halo line, which in general has done well under Uncle Mo. More The Ready can be found through Daredevil, Ready’s Image and Verrazano. From other branches of this line Uncle Mo has graded stakes winner Royal Mo out of a mare by Saint Ballado (sire of Saint Liam), a brother to Devil’s Bag (sire of Devil His Due and Diablo),

Laoban’s grade two winner Un Ojo is out of a mare by A.P. Indy, and he has also sired two stakes winners out of mares by Bernardini (sire of Stay Thirsty and To Honor and Serve), who is also broodmare sire of an Uncle Mo grade one winner. Laoban is also sire of stakes winner Les Bon Temps out of a mare by Tapizar, a son of Tapit (also sire of Constitution, Tapiture, Frosted, Trappe Shot, Race Day and Concord Point). Tapit in turn is by A.P. Indy son, Pulpit, the broodmare sire of Uncle Mo classic winner Mo Donegal. From other branches of this line, Champion Vequist is by a son of Uncle Mo, out of a mare by Mineshaft (sire of Dialed In and Discreetly Mine) and there are three stakes winners out of Malibu Moon mares. Other sources of A.P. Indy include Congrats, Flatter, Jump Start, Golden Missile, Old Trieste and Stephen Got Even. A.P. Indy is a son of Seattle Slew, and Uncle Mo also sired the brilliant sprinter Yaupon out of a mare by Seattle Slew son, Vindication.

Uncle Mo and sons have done very well with mares from the Storm Cat line this cross producing more than 20 stakes winners. Four of these are by Keepmeinmind’s sire, Laoban, and are out of mares by Stormy Atlantic; Tale of Ekati, a son of Tale of the Cat, sire of Lion Heart and grandsire of Kantharos and Uncaptured; Cactus Ridge, by Hennessy, the sire of Henny Hughes and Johannesburg, and grandsire of Scat Daddy; and Harlan’s Holiday, sire of Into Mischief, Majesticperfection and Shanghai Bobby.

Other Storm Cat line stallions to work under Uncle Mo and sons are Forestry (sire of Discreet Cat and Shackleford), the broodmare of Champion Two-Year-Old and Kentucky Derby winner Nyquist. Uncle Mo stakes winner, Thrilled, is out of a mare by Giant’s Causeway (sire of Eskendereya, Shamardal – both broodmare sires of Uncle Mo graded stakes winners – First Samurai, Creative Cause, Not This Time and Carpe Diem). Uncle Mo stakes winner Clipthecouponannie is out of a mare by Freud, a brother to Giant’s Causeway, and he also has a stakes winner out of a mare by After Market, who is bred on the same cross as Giant’s Causeway and Freud. Uncle Mo’s multiple graded winner Envoutante is out of a mare by Bluegrass Cat, and there is also a stakes winner out of a mare by Tactical Cat. This also suggests trying mares by Cat Thief, Stormin Fever, Storm Boot, Forest Wildcat (sire of D’Wildcat and Wildcat Heir), Bernstein, Mountain Cat, Sir Cat, High Yield and Tabasco Cat.

Storm Cat is a Northern Dancer line horse, and from another branch of Northern Dancer, Uncle Mo has sired graded stakes winner Epical out of a mare by Deputy Minister. From sons of that horse he has stakes winner Mo Dont No out of a mare by Defrere, a brother to Dehere (sire of Graeme Hall) and stakes winner King For a Day out of a mare by French Deputy. Uncle Mo’s sire, Indian Charlie and sons have also been represented by a graded winner out of a mare by Touch Gold. The Deputy Minister line can also be brought in through Silver Deputy (also sire of Posse), Awesome Again (sire of Ghostzapper, Paynter, Oxbow and Awesome of Course), Salt Lake, Forest Camp and Deputy Commander.

Uncle Mo has done well with mares from the Sadler’s Wells branch of Northern Dancer. His graded winner Donna Veloce is out of a mare by Montjeu and stakes winner Galilean out of a mare by El Prado (sire of Medaglia d’Oro, Kitten’s Joy – himself broodmare sire of an Uncle Mo stakes winner – and Artie Schiller), both by Sadler’s Wells.

Uncle Mo has already shown an extremely strong affinity for mares from the Fappiano line. Keepmeinmind is out of a mare from the Cryptoclearance branch of that line, and should cross well over other branches of Fappiano. From the Unbridled branch Uncle Mo is sire a graded winner out of a mare by Unbridled himself, and has grade one winner Outwork out of a mare by Empire Maker (sire of Pioneerof the Nile and Bodemeister, grandsire of Cairo Prince). Uncle Mo has also done well with mares by Unbrilded’s son, Unbridled’s Song is broodmare sire of Uncle Mo graded winners Girl Daddy and Uncle Chuck, and Unbridled’s Song is also sire of Midshipman – broodmare sire of Uncle Mo grade one winner Golden Pal – Songandaprayer, First Defence, Old Fashioned, Zensational, Rockport Harbor, Political Force, Even The Score, Dunkirk, Half Ours, Buddha and Eurosilver.

Unbridled can also be brought in through Broken Vow, Grindstone, Birdstone and Red Bullet. From other branches of Fappiano, Uncle Mo is sire of graded stakes winner Mo Tom out of a mare by Rubiano (whose son Burning Roma is broodmare sire of a stakes winner by a son of Uncle Mo, also suggesting Too Much Bling), and Indian Charlie – the sire of Uncle Mo – sired graded winner Two Trail Sioux out of a mare by Quiet American (sire of Real Quiet and grandsire of Midnight Lute).

From other branches of Mr. Prospector – the sire of Fappiano – Uncle Mo has done very well with mares from the Gone West line. Gone West is here through Speightstown, but Speightstown will in the fourth generation of the pedigree, allowing for crossing back with that strain through Speightown’s sons, Munnings and Central Banker. Uncle Mo is also sire of graded winner Rally Cry from a mare by Gone West himself, and has grade one winner Gomo and graded stakes winner Lost Raven out of mares by Gone West son, Elusive Quality. It might also be worth trying mares by Elusive Quality sons, Smarty Jones and Quality Road, as well as mares by other Gone West line stallions such as Grand Slam, Mr. Greeley and Proud Citizen.

Uncle Mo has graded winner Moon Colony out of a mare by Carson City, the sire of Flying Chevron (broodmare sire of a champion by Uncle Mo’s sire, Indian Charlie), City Zip, Lord Carson, Good and Tough, Cuvee, Pollard’s Vision and Five Star Day. There is also an Uncle Mo stakes winner out of a mare by Smoke Glacken, as well as graded winner Mo’ Green, out of mare by that horse’s sire, Two Punch. There are graded stakes winners out of mares by Square Eddie and his sire, Smart Strike (also sire of Curlin, Lookin At Lucky and English Channel). There are also stakes winners out of mares by Northern Afleet (sire of Afleet Alex) and the similarly-bred Lemon Drop Kid. Stakes winning Conquest Mo Money is out of a mare by Seeking the Gold (the sire of Mutakddim, Petionville and Cape Town). Uncle Mo also has graded stakes winner Front Pocket Money out of a mare by Fusaichi Pegasus (sire of Roman Ruler), a horse bred on similar lines to Distorted Humor (sire of Jimmy Creed, Maclean’s Music and Flower Alley).

Laoban has a stakes winner out of a mare by Successful Appeal from the In Reality line, and from the Relaunch branch of that line, Uncle Mo sired stakes winner Forevamo out of a mare by Slew Gin Fizz, a son of Relaunch, a line that might be brought in through Tiznow, the broodmare sire of Uncle Mo stakes winner My Aunt Mo (sire of Tiz Wonderful and Colonel John), Skywalker, Bertrando, Officer and Honour and Glory (sire of Put It Back).

From the Roberto line, Uncle Mo has multiple grade one winner Bast out of a mare by Arch (sire of Blame), a son of Kris S., and two stakes winner, one graded, out of mares by Dynaformer.

THE LIEUTENANT

A talented, graded stakes winning miler, The Lieutenant, is a half-brother to Justify – the only Triple Crown winner to retire undefeated – and is by Street Sense – the first ever winner of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile and Kentucky Derby.

The Lieutenant is half-brother to the mighty Justify, who is by Scat Daddy, a son of Johannesburg, from the Hennessy branch of the Storm Cat line, and Hennessy can also be introduced through Henny Hughes and Catus Rdige. The cross of Street Sense and his sons with Storm Cat line mares has been an exceptionally successful one with grade one winner Callback out of a mare by Forest Wildcat (sire of Wildcat Heir and D’Wildcat); grade one winner Street Fancy out of a mare by Cat Thief; graded stakes winner Tiger Moth out of a mare by Sir Cat; and stakes winners out of mares by Giant’s Causeway (sire of First Samurai, Freud, Eskendereya, Cowboy Cal, Creative Cause, Frost Giant, Hold Me Back, Heatseeker and Noble Causeway), Forestry (sire of Discreet Cat and Shackleford), Stormy Atlantic and Stormin Fever, and Storm Cat might also be brought in through Tale of the Cat (who is bred similarly to Johannesburg, the grandsire of sire Justify, and is sire of Lion Heart and grandsire of Kantharos), Storm Boot, Storm Creek, Sea of Secrets, Harlan’s Holiday (sire of Into Mischief), Bernstein, Mountain Cat, High Yield, Tactical Cat and Tabasco Cat.

Street Sense has also done very well with mares from the Danzig branch of Northern Dancer, this cross producing ten stakes winner. Four of these, including grade one winners Hallowed Crown and Politeness, are out of mares from the Danehill branch. There is a grade two winner and a grade three winner out of a mare by Danzig Connection, and a grade two winner out of a mare by Cape Cross, a son of Green Desert, and a stakes winner out of a mare by Boundary (sire of Big Brown). It might also be worth introducing Belong to Me, Dayjur, Exchange Rate, War Chant, Langfuhr, Lost Solider, Hard Spun and War Front (who would give Relaunch and a sister).

Out of mares from the Sadler’s Wells branch of the Northern Dancer, Street Sense has a graded stakes winner out of a mare by Singspiel, a graded winner out of a mare by Horse Chestnut, and stakes winners out of mares by Medaglia d’Oro and his sire, El Prado (also sire of Kitten’s Joy and Artie Schiller) and Galileo (represented in the U.S. by Cape Blanco and Magician). There has also been success for Street Cry – sire of Street Sense – and sons with mares descending from Sadler’s Wells’ three-quarters brother, Nureyev, including via Atticus and Stravinsky, with other sources including Theatrical, Spinning World and Fasliyev.

Street Sense is out of a mare by Ghostzapper, a son of Awesome Again, who is by Deputy Minister. It could be worth crossing The Lieutenant back over mares from other branches of Deputy Minister, including Silver Deputy (sire of Posse, who should be particularly good here, Badge of Silver and Spring at Last), Touch Gold (sire of Mass Media and Medallist), Dehere (sire of Graeme Hall), Deputy Commander, French Deputy, Forest Camp and Defrere.

Street Sense has sired six stakes winners out of mares by A.P. Indy, graded winners Avery Island and Doctor Mounty among them. The Lieutenant’s second dam is a grade one placed daughter of the A.P. Indy son, Pulpit, so it would be interesting to introduce the similarly-bred Mineshaft (sire of Discreetly Mine and Dialed In), Malibu Moon, Flatter and Congrats. Full Mandate is a reverse A.P. Indy/Deputy Minister cross to the dam of The Lieutenant, and other A.P. Indy sources include Stephen Got Even (sire of First Dude), Friends Lake, Golden Missile, Majestic Warrior and Jump Start.

Crossed back over mares from his own Mr. Prospector sire line, Street Sense sired grade one winner Wedding Toast out of a mare by Coronado’s Quest, a son of Forty Niner, also sire of Distorted Humor (who himself is responsible for Any Given Saturday, Cowtown Cat, Drosselmeyer, Flower Alley, Jimmy Creed, Maclean’s Music and Sharp Humor), End Sweep (also sire of Trippi and Precise End), Twining, Roar, Jules, Gold Case, and Gold Fever. Still with the Mr. Prospector line, Street Sense grade one winner McKinzie, is out of a mare by Petionville, and there is also a Street Sense graded stakes winner out of a mare by that horse’s sire, Seeking the Gold, also sire of Petionville and Cape Town. From the Fappiano branch of Mr. Prospector, Street Sense has stakes winners out of mares by Unbridled and his son, Grindstone (sire of Birdstone). Unbridled is also sire of Broken Vow, Empire Maker (sire of Pioneerof the Nile and Bodemeister), and Unbridled’s Song, himself sire of Rockport Harbor, First Defence, Old Fashioned, Half Ours, Dunkirk, Songandaprayer and Even The Score.

The cross of Street Sense over mares from the Damascus line has yielded stakes winners from daughters of Time For a Change, Gilded Time and Personal Flag. Street Sense has also sired grade one winner Sweet Reason out of a mare by Mt Livermore (sire of Orientate, Housebuster and Peaks and Valleys) and stakes winner Silverette out of a mare by Holy Bull (sire of Macho Uno and Flashy Bull).
