It was only last July that I reported on a remarkable run of success for Oasis Dream (click here for Caul- field=s column of July 14, 2009), who was represented by four Group 2 winners in the space of four days. Well, the 10-year-old stallion has been in dominant form again, as has Dansili, his neighbour at Banstead Manor Stud. Between them, they have been represented by seven stakes winners over the last five days Oasis Dream=s contribution was three group victories, thanks to Sri Putra, Tuscan Evening and Alta Fedelta, and these successes came only a few days after he had boosted his total of stakes winners from his first three crops to 28, thanks to Keredari=s encouraging success in the Loughbrown S. Oasis Dream might even have made it four group victories in four days had his son Address Unknown not had a luckless run in the G3 Ballysax S.

Pedigree Insights cont. As Oasis Dream was a champion two-year-old who went on to become champion sprinter, anyone could be forgiven for expecting speed and precocity to be his progeny=s main assets. While he has certainly proved highly effective in passing on these qualities, with as many as 38 individual juvenile winners in a single crop, he has proved to be much more than just a very effec- tive sire of two-year-olds. Indeed, he is proving wonderfully versatile, siring winners over a wide range of distances in a wide range of countries on a wide range of ground conditions. He is even currently leading the Anglo-Irish list of sires of all-weather performers for the 2009/2010 season. One aspect of his record that I find especially pleas- ing is the way that many of Oasis Dream=s progeny maintain their form. As many as seven members of his first crop scored at stakes level last year as four-year-olds, and at least eight members of this crop have already won this year, with Tus- can Evening leading the way. When this admirable Tuscan Evening Benoit photo mare took the GII Santa Barbara H. three days ago, she became Oasis Dream=s sixth individual group/graded winner over a distance of a mile and a quarter or more. Tuscan Evening has now scored six graded successes over 6 1/2, eight, nine and 10 fur- longs, but even without her help Oasis Dream would have sired a mature group winner (i.e. above the age of two) over every distance from five furlongs to a mile and a half. It isn=t too hard to identify why Oasis Dream is able to sire such a variety of stakes winners. Although his racing career mirrored that of his sire, the fast and precocious Green Desert, the bottom half of his pedi- gree is packed with stamina. His dam Hope was a sister to Wemyss Bight, winner of the Irish Oaks, and his first three dams were by Dancing Brave, Mill Reef and , three exceptional racehorses who numbered the mile-and-a-half King George VI and Queen Elizabeth S. among their triumphs. Oasis Dream=s second dam Bahamian and third dam Sorbus both possessed enough stamina to shine over 1 3/4 miles or more. I thought it likely that Oasis Dream would normally need to be mated to a mare with plenty of stamina in her make-up for this stamina in his pedigree to domi- nate his speed. Sure enough, the broodmare sires of four of his group winners over a mile and a quarter or more are Niniski (Irish and French St Legers), Acatenango (Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud), In the Wings (Breeders= Cup Turf, Coronation Cup, etc.) and Suave Dancer (Prix du Jockey-Club and Arc). www.coolmore.com P TDN HEADLINE NEWS • 4/20/10 • PAGE 6 of 7 • thoroughbreddailynews.com

Pedigree Insights cont. However, there are a couple of notable exceptions among these winners. The Breeders= Cup Filly and Mare Turf winner Midday and the G2 Great Voltigeur S. win- ner Monitor Closely are, respectively, out of mares by the top milers Kingmambo and Selkirk. The fact that Monitor Closely=s next two dams are daughters of Forty Niner and Green Desert suggests that the stamina in the bottom half of Oasis Midday Horsephotos Dream=s pedigree can occa- sionally be the dominant force. It is Tuscan Evening who is out of a mare by Suave Dancer. This outstanding son of Green Dancer was only 10 when he was killed by lightning in Australia on Christmas Eve, 1998. He had already fallen out of favor with European breeders, but later salvaged his reputa- tion to some extent through the Group 1 victories of Compton Admiral, Execute and Volvoreta. Tuscan Evening=s dam The Faraway Tree didn=t have a great deal to show for the level of form she showed as a three-year-old, when rated her 113. Although she failed to become a stakes winner, The

Faraway Tree was beaten only a neck in the G3 Park Hill S. over a distance in excess of 1 3/4 miles. Oasis Dream seems to be well suited by staying mares from the Nijinsky sire line. He also sired Visit, Tuscan Evening has now raced 25 times. She doesn=t who twice went close to winning at Grade I level in owe her toughness just to Oasis Dream.
