Intercontinental and . Dissemble’s latest foal is She never produced a group or graded winner, except her 2004 War Chant filly, who drew a bid of $625,000 for the Group 1-winning English hurdler Kerawi. Indeed from Texan Stewart Armstrong at last she was never represented by a first-three finisher at month, this filly having the attraction of being by a son group level. Yet Kerali must rank as one of the most of Danzig. And Skiable has a yearling filly by Miswaki important mares ever to have been a member of and is in foal to Three Valley’s sire, Diesis. Juddmonte Farm’s illustrious broodmare band, as the Kerali’s next three foals were colts, but she rounded weekend’s results highlighted so vividly. off her broodmare career with four more daughters. Saturday’s GI Citation H. saw victory go to The first of these fillies, Jiving, is by and is Leroidesanimaux, a Brazilian colt out of Kerali’s therefore bred along similar lines to Hasili, in that both daughter Dissemble. One and a half lengths back in are by grandsons of II. Jiving was sold for third, making a highly encouraging American debut, 17,000 guineas at the 1999 December Sales after came Juddmonte’s Three Valleys, a colt out of Kerali’s being placed at two. When she next appeared in the daughter Skiable. sales ring, at Keeneland a year later, she was in foal to Twenty-four hours later, the GI Matriarch S. was won Danehill and her price soared to $700,000. She was no for the second time in two years by a daughter of doubt helped by the fine form shown by Hasili’s first Hasili, who, like Dissemble and Skiable, is out of Kerali. Danehill foal, Dansili, who was an unlucky third to War Last year it was Hasili’s turbo-charged Green Desert Chant in the 2000 Breeders’ Cup Mile. Jiving’s Danehill filly Heat Haze who triumphed and this year’s contest filly, La Danielle, won a mile maiden race on turf at provided Hasili’s Danehill filly Intercontinental with a Santa Anita in October for Bobby Frankel and her well-deserved Grade I success. Remarkably, Hasili has second foal, the $410,000 Fusaichi Pegasus colt been represented in the Matriarch by three different Excusez Moi, was second on his debut in England in daughters in the last three years, the other being October. Intercontinental’s outstanding sister Banks Hill, who wasn’t at her best when fourth in 2002. Caulfield cont.

Danehill’s excellent results with mares are This Kahyasi filly was unlucky that the very soft ground part of a wider success story with mares with Nijinsky was against her on her only venture into group II blood. Indian Danehill, Jeune King Prawn, Spartacus, company, when she disappointed in the Prix de Daneskaya, Punctilious and Johan Cruyff are just some Pomone, because she was undoubtedly good enough to of his other group winners with Nijinsky blood. win a group race. She had previously lowered We can be pretty sure that there will be more good Salisbury’s track record for a mile and a half under 131 winners bred to this pattern in Danehill’s last two pounds in a valuable handicap in June 2001 and then crops, which reach the races in 2005 and 2006. One set another track record in winning the Listed Bahrain likely candidate is the filly who realised 260,000 Trophy by four lengths at Newmarket. Fair Question, guineas, the second-highest price for a weanling filly at the runner-up in the Bahrain Trophy, later won the G2 last year's December Sales. She is out of Kerali's German St Leger by 10 lengths. winning granddaughter Grail, who is inbred 4x3 to Arrive’s owner was understandably keen to maintain Nijinsky II. this family’s links with Danehill and her first two foals, a yearling colt and a filly foal, are by this outstanding stallion. Arrive is now in foal to Oasis Dream, a very fast son of Green Desert, and will therefore produce a foal with many ancestors in with Heat Haze. Juddmonte also retained Kerali’s In The Wings filly Kid Gloves, who won in the French Provinces. Kid Gloves is also pursuing the Green Desert route, as her first foal is a good-looking colt by Desert Prince and she is in foal to Cape Cross. Last of the line is Kerali’s two-year-old daughter Kalima, a sister to Hasili and Arrive. As this filly was born as late as May 25, she was never likely to follow in the footsteps of Hasili, who won half of her eight juvenile starts, including a Listed race over a mile at Nantes. Hopefully, Kalima will become her dam’s eighth winner from 10 foals once she has had a chance to mature. Even if she doesn’t win, she will be worth a fortune, as Kerali’s previous non-winners were Dissemble, the dam of Leroidesanimaux, and the $700,000 Jiving. Dissemble was sold for only 3,000 guineas as an unraced three-year-old at Tattersalls’ 1992 December Sales. The Citation H. winner is Dissemble’s second Grade I winner, following the Brazilian mile-and-a-half winner Uapybo, and both are by sons of . This is significant in that Hasili and Arrive are by Kahyasi, a dual Derby winner produced by a daughter of Blushing Groom. It is also interesting that Dansili--this year’s most successful British-based freshman sire--is showing promise with mares by Blushing Groom’s son Rainbow Quest. Danehill himself sired this year’s Derby winner from a Rainbow Quest mare and this year’s Yellow Ribbon S. winner Light Jig from a Blushing Groom mare. Only 72 daughters of Kahyasi have produce of racing age, and only three have racing-age progeny by Danehill. Hasili is responsible for four of their seven foals, namely Dansili, Banks Hill, Intercontinental and Cacique (whose record this year stands at four wins, including two group successes, and two seconds at Group 1 level). Zavaleta has also done well, her pair of Danehill foals being the group-placed Daneleta and the group-winning Danelissima, who comes up as lot 2203 at Tattersalls tomorrow. Is it any wonder that the top-priced weanling at last week’s sale was the 510,000-guineas Danehill colt out of a Kahyasi mare?
