Stallions

Bated Breath's dam Tantina has been highly successful both as a racemare and as a broodmare, despite both of these careers sadly being cut short. She won her first four starts (all at 7f) by an average of over three lengths including twice in Listed company, the last of which was an impressive five-length defeat of subsequent multiple Group 2 winner Chic. Unfortunately Tantina suffered a career-ending injury when an odds-on favourite in the Gr.3 Supreme Stakes, leaving the distinct feeling that her full ability had not been revealed. Despite this, she still attained a Timeform rating of 115 and retired to stud as a highly-promising broodmare prospect.
Tantina made a very good start with her first foal, the Daylami filly Scuffle, who raced over three seasons, attaining blacktype and achieving a Timeform rating of 106. One of her best performances was a defeat of the subsequent Group 2 winner Crystal Capella as a three-year-old. Scuffle has made an incredibly strong start to her broodmare career, producing six winners from her first six runners, four of which are stakes horses, headed by the 2019 St Leger winner Logician. Tantina’s next two foals, Cityscape (by Selkirk) and Bated Breath (by Dansili), really illustrated her merit as a broodmare. Cityscape’s career spanned 23 races, and the easily recognisable chestnut only finished out of the frame on four occasions. His impressive victory in the Gr.1 Dubai Duty Free at Meydan was just reward for his consistency at the top level at 8 to 10f. Bated Breath was equally consistent in Group 1 company – but instead in the sprinting division. Cityscape and Bated Breath were rated 126 and 125 respectively by Timeform. On top this, Tarentaise, an unraced Oasis Dream daughter of Tantina, produced Group 2-winning and Group 1-placed sprinter Equilateral from her first foal to hit the track.
Not many broodmares are capable of producing three blacktype performers from their first three foals, but then not many broodmares come from such a strong female line as Tantina. Her fourth dam is the legendary Best In Show – whose descendants include such equine luminaries as El Gran Senor, Redoute’s Choice, Rags To Riches, Aldebaran, Peeping Fawn and Spinning World. Tantina’s third dam Monroe herself produced four stakes winners – headed by the Champion Two-Year-Old Xaar – and her daughters have produced stakes winners in England, France, America and Australia. This is also the family of 2014 Eclipse Award winner Close Hatches, as well as 2015 Gr.2 Gimcrack Stakes winner Ajaya.

Dansili is recognised as one of the best stallions of the modern era. By the breed-shaping sire Danehill, out of the five-time Group/Grade 1 producing Juddmonte mare Hasili; despite standing his first season for just £8,000. His reputation has been made on being able to upgrade his mares and produce talented and tough winners at a variety of distances and ages – from outstanding middle-distance horses such as Harbinger and The Fugue to speedy Group-winning two-year-olds like Zoffany and Just Wonderful.
Dansili has sired 23 individual Group/Grade 1 winners of 38 Group/Grade 1 races and has produced 12% stakes winners to runners (lifetime) – a phenomenal achievement, especially considering the quality of mares he covered in his first six seasons at stud, a period which he stood at a high of £12,500. His stallion sons to have runners have already produced Group 1/Classic winners. Zoffany made a brilliant start to his stud career – siring three Royal Ascot winners from his first crop on the way to earning the Champion First Season Sire title in 2015 and in 2018 was the second leading European sire by two-year-old stakes winners. Harbinger has established himself amongst Japan’s best - and his Group 1 winners include the top-class filly Deirdre.
In total, eight sons of Dansili have sired Group 1 winners, including Bated Breath.

Speed, toughness, consistency and class are some of the most sought-after traits in both racehorses and stallions – and Bated Breath can lay claim to them all. He had the speed to break the track record when winning the Gr.2 Temple Stakes at Haydock. His toughness and consistency are illustrated by a race career that yielded six wins and seven in-the-frame finishes from 18 career starts. The fact that he has beaten 18 individual Group 1 winners of 35 Group 1 race highlights his class, as does his Timeform rating of 125.
Bated Breath was one of the highest-rated yearlings of his generation at Juddmonte – and showed lots of ability at Roger Charlton’s as a two-year-old. A minor setback meant he failed to make the racetrack as a juvenile – but he made up for it in no uncertain fashion the following season, winning his first three races with ease. Timeform rated him 112p, and made specific reference to his 'sharp turn of foot'.
The progression of Bated Breath as a four-year-old, although expected, was impressive nonetheless. Defeats by a combined total of under a length in three Group 1 races - finishing a nose behind Dream Ahead in the Haydock Sprint Cup after being beaten half a length by the same horse in the July Cup, and then travelling to Canada where he was beaten just a neck in the Nearctic Stakes, despite being forced wide, showed him to be a true Group 1 horse. A Timeform rating of 125 meant he was rated higher than other top sprinters and highly successful sires Invincible Spirit, Pivotal and Acclamation. This rating was repeated in 2012 when the aforementioned record-breaking victory in the Temple Stakes and his narrow defeat in the King’s Stand Stakes confirmed Bated Breath's position amongst the top European sprinters.
Bated Breath, like his sire Dansili, may not have a Group 1 win on his CV – but like his outstanding sire, he was a Group 1 winner in all but name.

Bated Breath

Expert Eye is a fourth generation Juddmonte homebred and his dam, maternal grandparents, and all four maternal great grandparents are also homebred. His family has been in the Juddmonte Stud Book for over 30 years, since his fourth dam Nijinsky Star was purchased for $700,000 at the 1987 Keeneland November Sale in foal to Conquistador Cielo. Nijinsky Star was herself unraced but her first foal Hometown Queen was a stakes winner and was runner-up in that year’s Kentucky Oaks. She was a daughter of the outstanding champion Chris Evert and therefore a half-sister to the dam of Chief’s Crown and that year’s Gr.1 Frizette winner, Classic Crown. Nijinsky Star went on to become one of Juddmonte’s best foundation mares, with her homebred blacktype descendants numbering 20, five of which are Group 1 winners.
Expert Eye's dam Exemplify made a winning debut as a two-year-old in the Prix des Marettes at Deauville, a race that often throws up a good filly – indeed future Juddmonte Group winners Antonoe, Proportional and Modern Look all debuted in the race. Unfortunately, Exemplify failed to build on this debut (her stable was afflicted with a virus) but as a half-sister to the Champion Two-Year-Old Filly and dual 1000 Guineas winner Special Duty, her place at stud was assured. It is one of the quirks and fascinations of breeding racehorses that racecourse talent is not always an automatic key to success as a broodmare – and Exemplify and Special Duty’s dam Quest To Peak is a good example of this. Quest to Peak was highly regarded, and as a sister to seven-time Group 1 winner Sightseek and a half-sister to dual Group 1 winner Tates Creek it is easy to see why. However, she only made one visit to the racecourse - finishing unplaced. Despite lacking the race record of Sightseek and Tates Creek, it is Quest To Peak who has proven to be the best broodmare – being the dam of a Group 1 winner and the grandam of another Group 1 winner.
Exemplify has produced two daughters by Acclamation, making them full sisters to Expert Eye. The first, Invigilate, won a novice race on her third start as a two-year-old for Sir Michael Stoute and the other is now a yearling.

To describe Acclamation as a rags to riches story is over the top but a 33,000gns yearling who went on to prove himself a top sprinter before becoming Champion First Season Sire, despite retiring at a fee of only €10,000, is a significant achievement. To then go on to sire Group 1 producing sons and daughters heaps even more credit on this son of Royal Applause.
Acclamation was bred to be precocious – his dam Princess Athena had won the Queen Mary Stakes and his sire Royal Applause won the Middle Park, Gimcrack and Coventry before securing the Haydock Sprint Cup as a four-year-old. Acclamation did not follow his parents' lead by becoming a blacktype winner at two – but he did win the very valuable St Leger Yearling Stakes at Doncaster. He had an abbreviated career at three years before making up for lost time at four, annexing the Gr.2 Diadem Stakes and placing in the Gr.2 Temple Stakes, Gr.2 King’s Stand Stakes (behind Choisir, beating Oasis Dream), and the Nunthorpe Stakes (behind Oasis Dream). Acclamation and Oasis Dream both then retired to stud – and Acclamation gained revenge for the Nunthorpe defeat by beating his track rival to the first season sire championship.
Acclamation becoming Champion First Season Sire was in no small part due to Dark Angel, who attained blacktype by winning the Gr.1 Middle Park Stakes and the Gr.2 Mill Reef Stakes (another son of Acclamation called Berbice came third) and who earned a big pay day in a sales race - the St Leger Yearling Sale at York (he had been a £61,000 purchase).
There was some controversy when Dark Angel retired to stud as a three-year-old but his success needs no introduction. He has sired seven Group 1 winners including some of the best sprinters of recent times – Battaash, Mecca’s Angel and Harry Angel.
The tally of Acclamation’s blacktype performers amongst his first crop of two-year-olds was in double figures – Equiano's third place in the Gr.2 Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte amongst them. Equiano would go on to prove himself a top-class sprinter – winning the Gr.1 King's Stand Stakes - and has also gone on to prove himself a very able stallion – his best progeny being the triple Group 1-winning sprinter The Tin Man.
Acclamation has proven himself to be a reliable source of speed and class – Expert Eye is the only one of his five Group 1 winners to have won at the highest level at 8f – Marsha, Aclaim and the aforementioned Dark Angel and Equiano all won at 7f or less. In fact only one in four of all of Acclamation’s Group winners attained a Group win at further than 7f.

Expert Eye retires to stud as one of Europe’s leading 7f/8f performers. He gave notice of his ability when making a winning debut in a 6½f Novice Stakes at Newbury in June, this being significant as it is not necessarily the norm for his stable’s two-year-olds to win first time out – and because the subsequent Gr.2 Richmond Stakes winner Barraquero was beaten into third. Two months later Expert Eye was sent off the 7/4 favourite for the Gr.2 Vintage Stakes at Goodwood, and his four- and-a-half length victory was so impressive that Timeform described it as “arguably the most striking performance by a two-year-old in a Pattern race all year.” Unfortunately a disappointing run in the Gr.1 Dewhurst was to follow – but the impression left by that Goodwood victory meant that Roaring Lion was the only British-trained two-year-old to achieve a higher Timeform rating than Expert Eye.
A respectable comeback run in the Gr.3 Greenham (second behind James Garfield) was followed by another disappointing effort on the Rowley Mile in the Gr.1 2000 Guineas but from June onwards Expert Eye lived up to the promise he had shown the previous year.
He was sent off as joint third-favourite in a typically open looking Gr.3 Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot – but he won in the style of an odds-on shot – scorching to a four-and-a-half length victory, the biggest winning margin this century. Expert Eye confirmed himself to be firmly of Group 1 calibre when finishing runner up in the Gr.1 Sussex Stakes at Goodwood on his next start, arguably not being suited by the way the race was run but battling on in game style. A comfortable victory in the very valuable Gr.3 City of York Stakes, despite carrying a 3lb penalty, showed Expert Eye to be holding his form well – a fact further borne out by his unlucky third in the Gr.1 Prix du Moulin, being caught in traffic when making his run.
Churchill Downs on 3rd November was when Expert Eye's talent and consistency was fully rewarded. There had not been a British-trained winner of the Breeder’s Cup Mile since 1994 – and Expert Eye had to defy not only that statistic, but also the rain-softened ground – but defy he did – coming with a strong run down the centre to catch some more prominently-ridden rivals.
Expert Eye retired to stud as one of the best two-year-olds of his generation, one of the best 7f/8f colts of his generation and as one of the most exciting stallion prospects in Europe.

Expert Eye

FRANKEL is the broodmare sire of the following stakes performers:
NOBLE TRUTH (19 c Kingman - Speralita) 1st Jersey Stakes (7f) Royal Ascot Gr.3, King Charles II Stakes (7f) Newmarket L., Flying Scotsman Stakes (7f) Doncaster L., 2nd Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere (7f) ParisLongchamp Gr.1
JUNCTURE (19 f Dark Angel - Occurrence) 1st Patton Stakes (8f) Dundalk L., 2nd Desmond Stakes (8f) Leopardstown Gr.3, Silver Flash Stakes (7f) Leopardstown Gr.3
EYDON (19 c Olden Times - Moon Mountain) 1st Feilden Stakes (9f) Newmarket L.
L'Evangile (19 c Duramente - Toulifaut) 2nd Sumire Stakes (11f) Hanshin L.
Wizard Of Oz (18 c Exceed And Excel - Dream In Colour) 3rd St Albans Stakes (6f) Moonee Valley L.

Juddmonte have had three broodmares who produced three Group winners from their first three foals – the first two to achieve the feat were Hasili and Toussaud. Not only did these mares go on to be awarded Broodmare Of The Year – they have also had stallion sons who sired Group/Grade 1 winners (Dansili, Cacique and Champs Elysees for Hasili; Empire Maker and Chester House for Toussaud). The third mare is Kind - the dam of Frankel.
Kind’s first foal was the Sadler’s Wells colt Bullet Train, winner of the Gr.3 Lingfield Derby Trial but more famously known as the pacemaker for Frankel. He started his stud career in Kentucky, as has Noble Mission, who memorably became a triple Group 1 winner in 2014 and has now sired multiple Grade 1 winner Code of Honor from his first crop. Kind’s fourth son to stand at stud is the Oasis Dream colt Morpheus, while her 2013 son Proconsul is also now a stallion - maintaining Kind's record of having all her sons standing at stud.
Kind’s only fillies to date are three-year-old Chiasma (by Galileo) and the dual Listed winner and multiple Group-placed Joyeuse (by Oasis Dream) - who retired to stud in 2015. Her first three foals, Jubiloso, Jovial and Maximal, are all winners and stakes performers. Her fourth foal Badge (2019) was a runner-up on his only start as a two-year-old.
Kind was a very talented sprinter who liked to race prominently. A six-time winner, including twice in Listed company, her speed could have been predicted from her strong physique but arguably not from her pedigree. Although she is by Danehill, her dam Rainbow Lake won the Lancashire Oaks over a mile and a half. A daughter of Rainbow Quest, Rainbow Lake had already produced the dual Group 1 winner Powerscourt the year before Kind was born, and subsequently the Group winners Last Train and Riposte. Rainbow Lake’s dam Rockfest was introduced into the Juddmonte broodmare band in 1983 – 30 years prior to Frankel, a third generation homebred, embarking on his own stud career.
The latest stakes winner to emerge from the family is the Dubawi filly Desert Diamond, a granddaughter of Rainbow Lake. She won the Lyric Fillies' Stakes at York and was subsequently Group 3-placed in Ireland in 2018 before transferring to race in America in 2019.

Galileo well and truly established himself as the pre-eminent sire in the world. He produced at least two Group 1 winners and at least one Classic winner in each of his first 16 crops to race. He was the champion sire in Europe 12 times and 11 consecutively between 2010 - 2020, with his most successful crop to date being the one born in 2008. This group included nine individual winners at the highest level (five of which won Classics), headed by Frankel.
As a Derby-winning son of the legendary Sadler’s Wells and the Arc de Triomphe winner Urban Sea, Galileo had all of the elements to succeed. Since retiring to stud, his pedigree has received a major boost through the exploits of three Group 1-winning full/half-siblings, most notably the truly outstanding racehorse and leading sire Sea The Stars.
Galileo has already made a name for himself as a sire of sires with the number of his sons having produced Group winners into double figures. Two of these, the Gr.1 Dewhurst winners New Approach and Teofilo, both got off to the best possible start by siring two-year-old Group 1 winners and Classic winners in their first crops. Galileo’s other Dewhurst winner to have runners is none other than Frankel – who repeated the feat of having a Group 1 winning two-year-old and a Classic winner in his first crop. Frankel was the champion sire in Europe in 2021, establishing himself as the leading stallion son of Galileo despite only having six crops of racing age.

Some racehorses have moments of brilliance - Frankel was consistently brilliant. He is the only horse to have run to a Timeform rating in the 140’s seven times (recording the highest ever Timeform rating of 147). He is also the only horse to run to an official rating of 140 twice and is the highest rated horse since the International Classifications began. In an unbeaten career he was champion at two, three and four years of age (the only horse to achieve this feat unbeaten) – in the process setting a record for consecutive European Group 1 wins – and beating 23 individual Group/Grade 1 winners of 50 Group/Grade races by a cumulative winning distance of over 76 lengths.
There were many jaw-dropping moments in Frankel's career – his majestic 10-length victory in the Gr.2 Royal Lodge Stakes at two years; the raw power and exuberance of his front-running display in the Gr.1 2000 Guineas; his complete annihilation of the opposition in the Gr.1 Queen Anne Stakes; his effortless step up to 10½ furlongs in front of an appreciative Yorkshire crowd in the Gr.1 Juddmonte International; the sense of overwhelming happiness and relief tinged with sadness when he made his triumphant final start at Ascot in the Gr.1 Champion Stakes.
From soft ground to good to firm; over distances ranging from seven to 10½ furlongs; aged two, three and four – Frankel's long stride and outstanding natural ability carried him effortlessly through his racing career. As Tony Morris so eloquently writes, Frankel is: “The greatest horse most of us have seen, or will ever see… I’ve never known another horse with such a high cruising speed and the capacity to sustain maximum velocity for so long. He is a phenomenon.”

Details of Kingman's extended female line can be found on Oasis Dream's page, so his first dam Zenda will be the focus here. She became Zamindar's first Group 1 winner, and the first of three Poule d’Essai des Pouliches winners for her sire, when graduating from a Windsor maiden victory to success in the French 1000 Guineas. Narrow defeats in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot and Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup Stakes at Keeneland plus a victory in an Allowance at Saratoga followed – as did the exploits of her year-younger half-brother Oasis Dream. As a Classic-winning half-sister to a multiple Group 1 winner Zenda was a rare and valuable commodity when she retired to stud.
Although her early broodmare career failed to live up to the high hopes, signs of Zenda’s potential were revealed with the emergence of her talented Dansili filly Panzanella, a wide-margin maiden winner who achieved a Timeform rating of 94. Better was to come in the shape of the Dansili colt Remote (TF 119), who put together a three-race winning streak culminating in a victory in the Gr.3 Tercentenary Stakes at Royal Ascot. Nine days after this victory, Kingman (TF 133) made his highly-anticipated debut at Newmarket, leaving no one in doubt that they had seen a very special colt.
Zenda has since produced a third blacktype performer – the Frankel colt First Eleven, who was very unlucky not to become his dam’s third Royal Ascot winner when third in the King George V Stakes. He secured blacktype in the Gr.3 Cumberland Lodge Stakes however. Both Remote and First Eleven have now started their stud careers in Argentina and Spain respectively.
Zenda also produced the talented five-year-old Sunray Major (Dubawi) who has achieved a Timeform rating of 114p. She sadly died in 2019 at the age of 20. The aforementioned Panzanella has produced four winners from four runners. Another daughter of Zenda in the broodmare band is the winning Bated Breath filly Present Tense.

Kingman's grandsire Green Desert is discussed on Oasis Dream's page. Needless to say he has proven to be a very influential sire of sires through the likes of Oasis Dream, Cape Cross and Invincible Spirit. His grandsons are also making their mark at stud – Sea The Stars and Showcasing are amongst the leading sires in Europe.
Invincible Spirit is also being ably represented by his stallion sons. Australian Group 3 winner I Am Invincible, who was second to Takeover Target in a 6f Group 1 contest, has quickly established himself as one of the leading sires in the Southern Hemisphere. He was the leading first season sire in Australia in 2013-14 and in 2018-19 made history by siring a record 28 Australian stakes winners in a single season, including four Group 1 winners. To date Invincible Spirit’s sons have sired over 200 stakes winners - but none have made a better start than Kingman.
Invincible Spirit is very similar in many ways to Kingman's “uncle” Oasis Dream. They are both sprinting sons of Green Desert who have staying influences in their pedigrees. Invincible Spirit is a son of the 1990 Prix de Diane winner Rafha – whose outstanding stud career produced seven blacktype performers in total including leading sire Kodiac, and the dam of Group 1-winning two-year-old Nayarra. As with Oasis Dream, Invincible Spirit has proven himself to be not only a world-class stallion, but also an extremely versatile one, siring Group 1 winners at distances from 5 to 10½f. Some of his stars include the outstanding Moonlight Cloud, Classic winners Magna Grecia and Lawman, top miler Charm Spirit, leading two-year-olds Shalaa and National Defense and the high-class sprinters Mayson, Fleeting Spirit, Profitable and Signs Of Blessing – but Kingman has achieved the highest Timeform rating of any of Invincible Spirit’s progeny.

On his retirement, Kingman was described by the usually restrained John Gosden as “A long way the most exciting colt I have ever trained.” This glowing description is a testament to the impact that the colt made while he was racing – a career which was defined by a most potent turn of foot. Kingman was unlucky not to have an unbeaten record – with the splitting field arguably the reason for his defeat in the Gr.1 2000 Guineas by a horse who had been 4½ lengths behind him in the Gr.3 Greenham Stakes. That day at Newmarket in May was soon forgotten as emphatic victories in the Gr.1 Irish 2000 Guineas, Gr.1 St James’s Palace Stakes, Gr.1 Sussex Stakes and Gr.1 Prix Jacques Le Marois followed. The Irish Guineas was a demolition exercise – with daylight between Kingman and his pursuers. Royal Ascot saw an equally easy victory – with Newmarket form reversed with Night Of Thunder. In the Sussex and Prix Jacques Le Marois Kingman put the best milers of the older generation to the sword – multiple Group 1 winners Toronado and Olympic Glory having no answer to the acceleration of the outstanding three-year-old.
Kingman's two-year-old career had given more than hint of what he might be able to achieve in the future. His debut victory at Newmarket was so impressive, both visually and on the clock, that he was as low as 5/1 for the Guineas afterwards and an equally convincing win in the Gr.3 Solario Stakes marked Kingman down as a colt of limitless potential. His three-year-old career confirmed Kingman as one of the best racehorses of recent times – possessing a turn of foot rarely seen. This innate talent, coupled with his outstanding bloodlines, made Kingman a highly exciting stallion prospect.

Kingman

The strength of Oasis Dream's female line has been amply demonstrated by the fact that he is one of three Group 1 winners to have represented his dam Hope and her sister Wemyss Bight. Hope’s half-sister Coraline has also produced the excellent Reefscape, to become the third daughter of Bahamian with a Group 1 winner to her credit. Altogether four daughters of Bahamian have produced a total of eight Group winners, so this female line has developed into one of the most potent families in the Juddmonte stud book. In total there are over 35 blacktype performers descended from the mare.
There are two very exciting young stallions to have emerged from the family in recent years with Oasis Dream's Classic-winning half-sister Zenda producing multiple Group 1 winner Kingman, and Bahamian’s granddaughter Cinnamon Bay being represented by the 2015 Gr.1 Prix du Jockey Club winner New Bay.
Oasis Dream represents another example of Green Desert’s ability to inject speed into mares with plenty of staying influences in their pedigrees. He follows the likes of Tamarisk, whose first three dams were by Vaguely Noble, Lyphard and Hail To Reason, and Desert Prince, whose first three dams were by Bustino, Mill Reef and Relko. Seven furlongs and a mile have been the most fruitful distances for Green Desert’s progeny, but Oasis Dream is proving capable of siring anything from Group-winning two-year-old sprinters to smart stayers.
This versatility no doubt stems from the fact that Oasis Dream's first three dams were sired by the King George winners Dancing Brave, Mill Reef and Busted. Judged solely on pedigree, you would have expected Oasis Dream to have been a miler. His dam Hope was a sister to Wemyss Bight, a top-class filly who gained all of her Group wins over a minimum of 10½ furlongs. However, Wemyss Bight might have shown more speed, given the chance. Her second foal, Yaralino, won at Group 3 level over 8½ furlongs even though he was by Caerleon, a stallion whose progeny have an average winning distance of 10.7 furlongs. Then there’s Wemyss Bight’s third foal Beat Hollow, who failed by less than a length to add a Group 1 victory over a mile to his four previous Group/Grade 1 wins, even though he is by Sadler’s Wells.
Hope was every bit as effective as her sister as a broodmare. Oasis Dream is her third stakes winner from her first four foals and her second Group 1 winner, following her French 1000 Guineas winner Zenda. Oasis Dream is inbred 3 x 4 to Northern Dancer and 4 x 4 to Never Bend, while Zenda is inbred 4 x 4 to Northern Dancer.
Oasis Dream's second dam Bahamian and third dam Sorbus were accomplished performers on the track, with Timeform ratings of 115 and 121 respectively. Sorbus was speedy enough to finish second of 17 in the Gr.1 Irish 1000 Guineas on fast ground and she also crossed the line a length ahead of the Gr.1 Oaks winner Fair Salinia in the Gr.1 Irish Oaks, only to be demoted.

Green Desert’s success story dates all the way back to 1990, when he became leading first-crop sire with a very impressive total of 15 winners from 24 runners in Britain and Ireland.
Green Desert now boasts over 40 individual Group winners, including 12 Group 1 winners. It is worth pointing out that Green Desert’s totals have been achieved almost entirely with crops which numbered 71 foals at most. His Group winners include some middle-distance performers, but Green Desert’s speciality has undoubtedly been his ability to sire top-notch winners over distances at up to a mile – including top sprinters or milers from daughters of such strong influences for stamina as Bustino, Dancing Brave and Vaguely Noble.
When Oasis Dream won the Gr.1 July Cup, he was following in the footsteps not only of Green Desert but also of Green Desert’s son Owington. However, the race which best encapsulates Green Desert’s story is the Sprint Cup at Haydock, which fell to Green Desert and his sons Sheikh Albadou, Tamarisk and Invincible Spirit.
Some of these major winners didn’t have luck on their side once they retired. Tamarisk proved largely infertile at Coolmore, Owington died in the same year that he made his debut at stud and Sheikh Albadou died at the age of 11. In the circumstances, Green Desert has done very well to become recognised as a leading sire of sires, such as Oasis Dream, a top five active European sire by stakes winners, Group winners and Group 1 winners.
The other main success stories for the Green Desert sire line have been Cape Cross - who has now found everlasting fame as the sire of the exceptional colts Sea The Stars and Golden Horn and outstanding filly Ouija Board - and Invincible Spirit. Thanks to a huge number of winners, Invincible Spirit took the title of leading first-season sire and his Group 1 winners now include Moonlight Cloud (Prix Maurice de Gheest, three times, Prix du Moulin), Charm Spirit (Prix Jean Prat, Prix du Moulin and Queen Elizabeth II Stakes), Shalaa (Prix Morny, Middle Park Stakes), and Profitable (King’s Stand Stakes) as well as his highest-rated performer (according to Timeform), Kingman.
Green Desert’s influence has also extended to the other side of the world. His fast son Shinko Forest, a Group 1 winner in Japan, sired such good performers as Genki, Close To You, Electric Beat and Moss Vale from limited opportunities in Ireland. Green Desert has also made an indelible mark on Australasian racing through his first-crop sons Desert Sun and Volksraad, who retired to stud in New Zealand.

It seems that everyone was aware of Oasis Dream's considerable potential from the moment he first set foot on a racecourse, at Salisbury in August 2002. He started a clear favourite in a 12-runner maiden race but a combination of inexperience and lack of peak fitness took its toll and he finished fifth.
Oasis Dream's reputation proved to be very well founded, nonetheless. Another race was needed to bring him to top form, but he was very impressive on his third start, when he led throughout to win a 6f maiden race at Nottingham in September – impressive enough to start third favourite when he stepped up to Group 1 company in the Middle Park Stakes only 13 days later. Needless to say, he faced some very strong opposition in this historic contest. Elusive City, the favourite, had passed the post in front in both the Gr.2 Richmond Stakes and Gr.1 Prix Morny; Tomahawk, the second favourite, had cost $2,500,000 as a yearling and was to go on to finish second in the Gr.1 Dewhurst Stakes; Country Reel was an unbeaten winner of the Gr.2 Gimcrack Stakes; and Zafeen had followed his second in the Gr.1 Prix Morny with a victory in the Gr.2 Mill Reef Stakes. Well though they performed, none of these very smart colts was fast enough to beat Oasis Dream, who ran on strongly to win by one-and-a-half lengths in the astonishing time of 1:09.61. No horse had ever covered the 6f on the Rowley Course in less than 1:10.00; a phenomenal time, especially for a two-year-old.
The compilers of the International Classifications and the Timeform handicappers rated him their Champion Two-Year-Old, and the son of Green Desert thoroughly vindicated their assessment in 2003.
Oasis Dream made his three-year-old debut at Royal Ascot, when the Gr.2 King’s Stand Stakes was chosen in preference to the Gr.1 Golden Jubilee Stakes over an extra furlong, even though he had to carry a Group 1 penalty in the shorter event. The sensational Australian colt Choisir grabbed most of the headlines with his display of tremendous pace from start to finish but Oasis Dream also caught everyone’s eye, turning in a performance packed with promise in finishing third of 20.
From that point, Oasis Dream's career progressed along similar lines to that of his highly successful sire, Green Desert. Both contested the July Cup, the Nunthorpe and the Haydock Park Sprint Cup and both emerged with two victories and an honourable defeat before heading for the Breeders’ Cup.
Choisir started favourite to confirm the form with Oasis Dream in the Gr.1 July Cup, but Oasis Dream showed that Choisir wasn’t the only one with excellent early pace, quickly taking up a position stalking the front-running favourite before drawing away to stop the clock in a very fast time, 1:09.94.
The next stop was the Gr.1 Nunthorpe Stakes, in which Oasis Dream started long odds on. Oasis Dream trounced his opponents in imperious style. The colt’s winning time of 56.2 seconds fell just 0.04 seconds short of the track record, and there was speculation that he might have broken the record had he been pushed harder by Richard Hughes in the closing stages.
Green Desert had finished only third in the Nunthorpe before returning to winning form in the Haydock Sprint Cup, the next race on Oasis Dream's agenda. However, whereas Green Desert encountered good ground, Oasis Dream wasn’t so fortunate. With torrential rain falling on a course which had already been watered, the ground turned good to soft which took the edge off Oasis Dream's speed. The Juddmonte colt was unfortunate that his opponents included Somnus, a soft-ground specialist. Even so, Oasis Dream accounted for his eight other rivals, including Airwave.
An unplaced effort in the Gr.1 Breeders’ Cup Mile didn’t deter the compilers of the International Classifications from rating Oasis Dream the year’s top sprinter by a margin of 4lbs and the best three-year-old in Britain.
