Harry Angel, an early-maturing sprint champion who claimed a Gr.1 double at three, has a Danehill-free pedigree that seems likely to suit many in our broodmare population. This shuttler to Darley’s Kelvinside, NSW, hails from a branch of the Northern Dancer sire line that has already given us champion sire Last Tycoon (IRE) and he was a Group winner at two, three and four.
Any juvenile who can win Gr.1 races at his second and third starts has to be pretty special and there is no doubt this description fits Bolt d’Oro (USA), who begins his first shuttle season at Spendthrift Australia’s Victorian property later this year. A handsome bay standing 16.2 hands, he looks a perfect match for Danehill line mares.
THE Green Desert branch of the Danzig male line is all about speed and its many modern day representatives through his sons such as Invincible Spirit and Oasis Dream are continuing this tradition. His grandson, champion two year-old National Defense (GB), begins southern duty in Victoria this season at Sun Stud.
Performer is a welcome addition to the stallion ranks in Queensland this season. A Group winner at two, he inherited the speed so characteristic of the most successful Danehill-line sires and he hails from a sire-making branch of a classic family.
