I think both will do well and both will be progressive especially as 4yo's and 5yo's as they mature. Staphanos has 4 SW/SP , Ace High has 3 SW/SP. Basilinna is G1 and G2 placed also and should go close comes Oaks time. Very good ex-kiwi trainers

Too Darn Hot third in the race already a sire of 4 SW and 3 SP. His Northern Hemisphere Service fee now £65,000

I agree further back is better but why duplicate Danehill when the statistics show 50% more Stakes-winners and Stakes performers if you don't duplicate Danehill . Also Danehill through a son and daughter in a pedigree is superior than Danehill through sons. Sex balanced crosses work better . Always amazed when people pick out a successful horse on a certain cross but don't point out the percentage of failures. .

Entreaty was a black New Zealand-bred Thoroughbred mare, who was unplaced in her only race start. She produced twelve horses, one of which was Phar Lap. Entreaty's first foal, Fortune's Wheel, a filly by Night Raid, showed no potential as a racehorse. After Phar Lap's success Fortune's Wheel was put back to work again but was unplaced in three race starts. Entreaty had ten more foals after Phar Lap but none possessed anything like Phar Lap's extraordinary ability. Entreaty produced seven siblings to Phar Lap, Fortune's Wheel, Nea Lap (won 5 races), Nightguard (won 9 minor races), All Clear, Friday Night, Te Uira and Raphis, none of which won a principal (stakes) race. Phar Lap was a half-brother to another four horses, only two of which were able win any races at all.

Quite interested in Staphanos by Deep Impact also as his first yearlings sold very well at Karaka this year. They are the same age and very interesting how they compared on the Japanese rankings.

Thanks for that . You are correct. And ages below Nadeem 19yo, Alamosa 18yo, Zed 20yo, Ocean Park 14yo

Yes interesting what the perception is out there. Breeders would be surprised to see the list of the top ranked stallions in NZ of SW to runners. My calculation is there are only 5 stallions with crops aged 3yos or older at stud in NZ that have SW to runners above 5%. Correct me if I am wrong but quick list is- 1. Savabeel 2. Darci Brahma 3. Shocking 4. Sweynesse 5. Per Incanto

Byerley Turk sire line The Byerley sire line persisted by producing a major sire every few generations, whose sons would create branches of their own. Most of these branches have died out over the course of time. The line of descent to the present day is as follows: The Byerley Turk (~1680) sired Jigg in 1705, who sired Partner in 1718, who sired Tartar in 1743, who sired Herod in 1758. Herod was the leading sire in Great Britain and Ireland from 1777 to 1784 Herod sired Highflyer in 1774, leading sire in Great Britain from 1785-1796. Highflyer's line persisted for many generations but died out in the first half of the 20th century Herod also sired Florizel born in 1768, who sired Diomed (1777). Diomed would become a foundation sire of the American turf. In turn, Diomed sired Sir Archy who was the first great "sire of sires" in the United States. A few generations later through Sir Archy's line came Lexington who became the leading sire in North America sixteen times in the mid-19th century, but his sire line died out in the late 20th century Herod's line continued through Woodpecker, foaled in 1773, who sired Buzzard (1787). Buzzard founded several sire lines that flourished in the 19th century, most of which withered away in the 20th century Buzzard's sire line continued through Selim, foaled in 1802, who was leading sire of 1814. Selim produced yet another flourishing sire line, most of which died away by the mid 20th century Selim's sire line continued through Sultan, born in 1816. Sultan was leading sire 6 times Sultan in turn sired Bay Middleton (1833), who was leading sire in 1844 and 1849. Bay Middleton sired several sire sons but most of his line died out by the middle of the 20th century. Bay Middleton's sire line continued through The Flying Dutchman, born in 1846. The Flying Dutchmen sired several sons whose lines gradually died out over the course of the 20th century. The Flying Dutchman's line continued through Dollar in 1860, who sired Androcles in 1870, who sired Cambyse in 1884, who sired Gardefeu in 1895, who sired Chouberski in 1902, who sired Bruleur in 1910, who sired Ksar in 1918. Ksar was a two-time winner of the Arc de Triomphe and the leading sire in France for 1931. Ksar sired Tourbillon in 1928 Tourbillon was three-time leading sire in France. His son Djebel, born in 1937, won the Arc de Triomphe and 2,000 guineas Djebel sired My Babu, who also won the 2000 Guineas. The My Babu sire line persisted for several generations, leading to Cirrus des Aigles, a Group 1 winner as late as 2014. Unfortunately, Cirrus des Aigles was gelded so the My Babu sire line is on the brink of extinction. Djebel also sired Clarion, born in 1944, who, though less successful than My Babu on the track, is the best hope for the survival of the Byerley Turk sire line Clarion sired Klairon in 1952, whose son Luthier would lead the french sire list four times. Luthier's sire line continued for a few generations but seems to have died out Klairon also sired Lorenzaccio in 1965, who in turn sired Ahonoora in 1975 Ahonoora proved a very successful sire, with offspring including: Don't Forget Me (2000 Guineas), Dr Devious (Epsom Derby), and Indian Ridge. Indian Ridge in turn has several sons and grandsons still at stud. In North America, the Indian Ridge line has hopes in Canada via Legal Jousting and the United States via Final Row. Inchinor, another son of Ahonoora; sired Notnowcato in 2002.

Yes he was bred in Australia but I claim Lonhro as kiwi bred. A grandson of Zabeel! Sir Patrick had My Tricia. Lonhro's third dam is My Tricia. My Tricia the dam of Grosvenor. My Tricia is the third dam of this year's Australian Derby winner Tavago. My Tricia is the 3rd dam of 5x Group One winner Lankan Rupee.

On the track, Written Tycoon claimed the Todman Stakes (Gr 2, 1200m) at two and ran 11th in the Golden Slipper (Gr 1, 1200m) when trained by Grahame Begg, but his career as a three-year-old, having been transferred to John O’Shea, was cut short with the horse requiring a tie back operation, a fact that made it harder to find a stud suitor.
