Pharamond was sold to a syndicate headed by Hal Price Headley (who subsequently bought out his partners) to stand at Headley's Beaumont Farm in Kentucky, where he enjoyed great success; while Hunter's Moon was sold to South America, where he started his stud career in Argentina and ended it in Brazil and sired numerous champions. The late Lord Howard de Walden faced similar decisions regarding the placement of the progeny of his great mare Doubly Sure (GB) (Reliance {Fr}).

That is the position which Prince Khalid Abdullah has found himself in with Kind (Ire) (Danehill), dam of two winners of the G1 Champion S., i.e. the peerless Frankel (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) and his full-brother Noble Mission (GB). Few have played their cards better in such a situation than the 17th Earl of Derby, whose 1922 Park Hill S. victrix Selene (GB) (Chaucer {GB}) produced not only the 1933 Derby and St Leger hero Hyperion (GB) (Gainsborough {GB}) but also the high-class colts Sickle (GB) (Phalaris {GB}), Pharamond (GB) (Phalaris {GB}) and Hunter's Moon (GB) (Hurry On {GB}). Lord Derby stood Hyperion himself in Newmarket (mostly at Woodlands Stud but also at Plantation Stud for three seasons) which was a good move as the little chestnut turned out to be Great Britain's greatest stallion of the 20th century.

PEDIGREE INSIGHTS: TEN BEST HORSES WHO LOST OUT ON HORSE OF THE YEAR by Bill Finley BRIGHT START FOR There=s some hope for the camp of Accelerate (Lookin At Lucky), but not much. The more you talk to voters and racing CAIRO PRINCE fans and experts, the more it becomes clear that Justify (Scat Daddy) will be named the 2018 Horse of the Year. It=s the power of the Triple Crown, and it=s such a big force it appears that even a GI Breeders= Cup Classic winner and a five-time Grade I winner on the year can=t even put a dent into it. A little history: The modern day Eclipse Awards were created in 1971. Wikipedia has compiled a list of Horses of the Year going all the way back to 1887. Until the award was unified by the Daily Racing Form, The National Turf Writers Association, and the Thoroughbred Racing Associations (which has been replaced by the NTRA), several groups, including Turf and Sport Digest Magazine named their own champion. That sometimes led to there being more than one Horse of the Year. (Click to continue to p5)

But they all took the title more than 30 years ago, when the world of Thoroughbred breeding was a simpler place. Superstardom has arguably awaited fewer of their successors, but there are still some notable names among the freshman title-holders, such as Distorted Humor, Tiznow, Street Cry, Tapit, Scat Daddy, Quality Road and Uncle Mo. The corollary to this is that many a good stallion HASN'T landed the title, or even come close to doing so. For example, Curlin ranked no higher than ninth in 2012, whereas Ghostzapper was 21st, Indian Charlie 10th, More Than Ready sixth, Pulpit seventh and Kitten=s Joy fifth in their respective years. And don=t forget that some years are much more competitive than others, the prime example being the class of 2008, when the top five featured Tapit, Candy Ride, Medaglia d'Oro and Speightstown.

The reaction to Cairo Prince=s sales success was to increase his fee for a second time, from the $15,000 he had cost in his second and third seasons to $25,000 in 2018, when--as usual-- he covered around 148 mares. Although Cairo Prince=s second crop couldn=t match his first-crop=s sales figures, his 2018 yearlings still sold well for a comparatively inexpensive stallion, with colts achieving $450,000, $350,000, $340,000 and $300,000. He is therefore well placed for a bright 2019. Fortunately for his admirers, Cairo Prince has made a bright enough start to maintain his fee at $25,000 in 2019. In finishing third, he went close to matching his sire Pioneerof the Nile, runner-up to Dunkirk among the freshmen of 2013, and he fared better than his grandsire Empire Maker, who was seventh in 2007. Bodemeister, another of Empire Maker's sons, was third behind Dialed In and Union Rags in 2016, before coming up with the 2017 GI Kentucky Derby winner Always Dreaming. The star of Cairo Prince's first crop has been Cairo Cat, who has won two of his three starts, including the GIII Iroquois S. at Churchill Downs. Cairo Prince=s daughter Pakhet has also proved well above average, contesting the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf after her maiden victory at Belmont and her second in the GII Jessamine S.
