Danehill Dancer’s name isn’t normally associated with success in the jumping sector, even though he was responsible for the Graded-winning hurdlers Unaccompanied, Forgotten Voice and Lightning Strike. That doesn’t mean, though, that his highclass son Jeremy won’t make an excellent recruit to the National Hunt sector now that he has left the Irish National Stud for Garryrichard Stud. He has the physique, at 16.1 hands, and he acted well on soft ground. As a Group winner over seven furlongs and a mile, he also had the speed some jumping breeders are looking for, while at the same time coming from a female line not short of stamina. More importantly, Jeremy has already come up with Our Conor, a Gr1 winner over hurdles from his first crop. Other talented jumpers from this crop include Stocktons Wing, winner of the Gr2 Winning Fair Juvenile Hurdle, and the Gr2-placed Fisher. Our Conor gained his Flat successes over seven furlongs and a mile, but that hasn’t stopped him proving highly effective over two miles in his new career. His victory in the Spring Juvenile Hurdle was his third from three starts, and he was to add the Triumph Hurdle to his laurels. The way Our Conor has been finishing his races suggests there must be stamina in the bottom half of his pedigree. His dam Flamands won at up to one and three-quarter miles and is by Sadler’s Wells, who also sired the dam of Unaccompanied, the best jumping winner by Danehill Dancer. Flamands had two stakes-winning siblings in Casey Tibbs and String Quartet, the latter being the dam of Oaks runner-up Meeznah, who stayed well enough to win the Park Hill Stakes. Our Conor’s second dam Fleur Royale was also second in an Oaks – the 1986 Irish version – and his third dam Sweet Mimosa did even better. This sister to the Gold Cup and Arc winner Levmoss won the Prix de Diane.

The latter part of 2013 will see the first Irish-bred runners by Robin Des Champs. This should be a cause for celebration, judging by the achievements of the stallion’s French performers. His seven-year-old son Sir Des Champs improved his record over jumps to nine wins from 11 starts when he stayed on too strongly for Flemenstar in the Hennessy Gold Cup at Leopardstown. The Glenview Stud stallion has also been very ably represented in Ireland by that outstanding mare Quevega, the Gr1 winner Sous Les Cieux and the Gr1placed Ut De Sivola. Robin Des Champs is still only 16. He retired to stud in 2001, having raced only as a three-year-old, when he won the first four of his five starts over hurdles. He covered 144 mares in his first year in Ireland, in 2009. Sir Des Champs is the first foal of Liste En Tete, a middle-distance winner on the Flat who was placed over fences. Sir Des Champs’s second dam Badrapette visited Robin Des Champs to produce the promising Irish hurdler Un Atout. Badrapette’s halfsister Draborgie broke a leg when favourite for the 1996 Arkle Trophy Chase. Sir Des Champs has already won a Gr1 beyond three miles on very testing ground and stamina appears to be his strong suit. For this he can thank his broodmare sire Video Rock, who also sired the dams of the Gr1winning stayer Saint Are and the Gr2 Grand Steeple-Chase d’Enghien winner Tir Au But. A middle-distance horse, Video Rock was France’s leading sire of chasers in 2007 and made his mark with his British jumpers, which included the stayers Nenuphar Collonges (Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle), Edmond (Welsh National) and Hussard Collonges (Royal & SunAlliance Chase). He also sired Champion Hurdle runner-up Osana, top French chaser El Paso III and French Champion Hurdle winner Lycaon De Vauzelle.

On only his second start over fences, Boston Bob recorded the second Gr1 victory of his career when he stayed on to catch Texas Jack on the line in the Dr PJ Moriarty Novice Chase. The eight-year-old’s record after that stood at six wins from eight starts under rules. His potential had been apparent when he appeared at Doncaster Bloodstock’s Newbury sale in March 2011. Then, his record consisted of a win in a point-to-point at Tallow and a close third in a Punchestown bumper, and it took a bid of €150,000 from Graham Wylie to secure him. Together with Bobs Worth, Back In Focus and Roberto Goldback, Boston Bob is ensuring that no-one forgets their sire Bob Back in a hurry. A Gr1winning son of Roberto on the track, he was also a renowned jumps sire, siring the likes of Cousin Vinny, Back In Front, Thisthatandtother, Bacchanal, Putty Road, Treble Bob, Farmer Brown and Calling Brave. Bob Back died at the age of 30 in 2011. Although Bob Back never won beyond a mile and a quarter, the distance of his victories in the Prince of Wales’s Stakes and Premio Presidente della Repubblica, plenty of his best winners stay well. Boston Bob has tackled three miles twice under rules, finishing second in the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle and falling at the last in last month’s RSA Chase when in the lead. He has a traditional National Hunt pedigree, his first three dams being daughters of Le Bavard, Arctic Slave and Vulgan (sire of three winners of the Grand National). Le Bavard won the Prix du Cadran over two and a half miles before siring the likes of Kildimo, Perris Valley, Bankers Benefit and Barney Burnett. Boston Bob’s dam, Bavaway, was an unraced half-sister to the smart hurdler/chaser Danny Harrold and the next dam, Chillaway, was a half-sister to the very useful chaser Golden Freeze. Bavaway also produced the useful staying hurdler Belle Away.

Slip Anchor
Although Champagne Fever won a three-mile point-to-point on his first appearance, in April 2011, his connections have been in no hurry to try him over fences. Their patience has been amply rewarded, as he won the Weatherbys Champion Bumper and Punchestown’s Champion INH Flat Race before he progressed to hurdling. The son of Stowaway won the Deloitte Novice Hurdle to improve his record over hurdles to two wins from four starts, and he was to add the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle to his CV. Champagne Fever’s free-running style has made him hard to catch, but it may compromise the stamina in his pedigree. Stowaway, a son of the stoutly-bred Slip Anchor, was very smart at around a mile and a half, as he showed with his victories in the Gordon Stakes and Great Voltigeur Stakes at three, and in a valuable race in Dubai at four. Stowaway struggled for support early in his career, covering books of around 30 thoroughbred mares in each of his first six seasons. However, his progeny’s early results changed all that and he covered 261 mares in 2011, followed by a similarly huge book in 2012. His best winners include Hidden Cyclone, a dual Gr2 winner over hurdles who has since won a Gr3 over fences, and Western Leader, another Gr2 winner over hurdles who has graduated successfully to fences. Champagne Fever’s broodmare sire, Roselier, also sired the dam of Stowaway’s successful chaser Away We Go. Champagne Fever was bought for €17,500 at the 2010 Derby Sale but his younger brother proved much more popular when offered as a foal in 2012, selling for €70,000. Forever Bubbles is also the dam of the useful staying chaser Presenting Forever, by Presenting. Champagne Fever’s fifth dam Blue Petrel numbers the Whitbread Gold Cup winner Andy Pandy and Scottish Grand National winner Belmont King among her descendants.

After Cue Card had created a 40-1 shock in the 2010 Weatherbys Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival, I wrote in these pages that “the style of his victory raised hopes that he will prove of similar standard to several previous winners of the Champion Bumper, such as Dunguib, Pizarro, Monsignor, Alexander Banquet and Florida Pearl.” Although it has taken Cue Card, who is now seven, nearly three years to record another Gr1 victory, that prediction still holds true. Having become a Gr2 winner – in the Sharp Novices’ Hurdle at Cheltenham – during a career over hurdles that comprised five races, Cue Card is now flourishing over fences, even though his jumping remains untidy on occasions, although connections insist that his ability in this department is rather unfairly portrayed by the media. Regardless, this free-running son of
King’s Theatre has underlined his versatility by winning the Gr2 Haldon Gold Cup Chase at Exeter over a distance short of two and a quarter miles just three months before he took the Gr1 Ascot Chase over two and three-quarter miles. King’s Theatre earned a welldeserved first sires’ championship during the 2011-12 season, with help from such as Riverside Theatre, Voler La Vedette, Menorah, Captain Chris, Fingal Bay and Brindisi Breeze. Unfortunately, he died in 2011, at the age of 20. Cue Card’s dam Wicked Crack landed six of her 28 contests under rules, her victories coming in handicap hurdles at up to three miles (four such successes) and novice chases (the other two), and she was sold for €120,000 in 2002. Wicked Crack, who is now 20, has done well commercially as a broodmare. Cue Card himself sold for
€52,000 at Tattersalls Ireland in June 2009 as three-year-old and her Westerner colt made €85,000 at the 2010 Derby Sale. Wicked Crack was a tough daughter of King’s Ride, and it was another daughter of King’s Ride who produced the 2011 Gr1 winner Bog Warrior. Cue Card’s second dam, Mighty Crack, produced a talented chaser in What’s The Crack, who finished third in the Sun Alliance Chase at the Cheltenham Festival. Mighty Crack was a sister – by Deep Run – to Good Crack, a prolific winner over fences who won the H S Commercial Spares Handicap Chase over three miles. Cue Card was to go on from this Ascot Chase win to plunder the Ryanair Chase at the Cheltenham Festival, making all the running to record one of the most impressive victories of the week.

The first big two-year-old event of the season, the Blue Diamond Stakes, resulted in a fairytale success for 29year-old apprentice jockey Lauren Stojakovic, who has recovered from a four-way fracture of her pelvis, and not only rides but also mucks out and feeds the triumphant Daniel Clarken-trained Miracles Of Life.

A number of leading players from November’s Breeders’ Cup [BC] meeting have been strutting their stuff to good effect of late. Game On Dude remains unbeaten in three starts since his shock BC Classic flop after lifting the Santa Anita Handicap over the same course and distance by almost eight lengths. The BC is now his only defeat in eight starts at Santa Anita.
Point Of Entry, who was running for the first time since his BC Turf runner-up effort, got the better of the BC Mile second Animal Kingdom in a highly tactical Gulfstream Park Turf Handicap. John Velazquez, Animal Kingdom’s regular pilot, was aboard the winner, and his substitute Joel Rosario was widely acknowledged to have hit the front too soon on the odds-on
favourite, who now heads to Dubai. Beholder, the BC Juvenile Fillies heroine, was found to have been suffering from a throat ulcer when beaten on her January comeback but returned to the winners’ circle with an easy Las Virgenes Stakes victory. The former Argentine champion Suggestive Boy, who had finished well adrift of Animal Kingdom in the BC
Mile, landed a thrilling renewal of the Frank E Kiroe Mile, holding off Silentio by a nose. However, BC form did not work out in the Donn Handicap as Graydar benefited from his light weight and a perfectly-judged front-running ride from Edgar Prado to score by three lengths. Flat Out, the BC Classic third, could manage only fourth.

Darley sires have leaped to the fore, with Exceed And Excel coming from nowhere to first and Dubawi following suit into third. Solar Deity became our table leader’s 64th stakes winner when winning a Listed event at Wolverhampton, following Group 3 triumphs for the three-year-olds Guelph and Kuroshio at Caulfield, while Dubawi came up trumps with a couple of Pattern scorers at Meydan. There are several other new arrivals in the top ten as well: King Kamehameha, Redoute’s Choice,
Deep Impact, who sired two Group 2 winners, and Kitten’s Joy. All these are familiar except perhaps Kitten’s Joy, who stands at Ramsey Farm for $50,000. By El Prado, Sadler’s Wells’s most successful son in the USA, Kitten’s Joy was a top-class performer on turf, winning nine, including two Grade 1s, the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic Invitational and Secretariat Stakes, and running second in the other three of his starts on that surface. Most of his best progeny have not resembled him in requiring turf to show their best form.

Curtain call for Kayf, again defying odds The month leading up to the Cheltenham Festival does not boast much in the way of quality races and the nip-and-tuck battle for top spot saw Beneficial overtake Flemensfirth, with Oscar and King’s Theatre also above the million-pound mark. Perhaps, though, this is the moment to applaud Kayf Tara, once again the leading British-based sire. The dual Gold Cup winner stands at Overbury Stud for £3,000. Despite suffering from the usual shortage of runners that puts stallions standing in England out of contention for the title – his tally of 124 this season is more than 100 adrift of five of the first six in the table – he consistently gets blacktype horses, albeit with Planet Of Sound his only Grade 1 scorer. Kayf Tara is noted mainly for chasers and his biggest earner this time around is The Package, successful in the Badger Ales Trophy. However, 2011 Hennessy winner Carruthers has notched a couple of races at Ffos Las and is now close to £300,000 in earnings, while novice chaser Cantlow missed Cheltenham but looks promising.
