At a time when many are questioning the soundness of the American Thoroughbred, it can=t have gone unnoticed that the latest winner of the Kentucky Derby is by Leroidesanimaux, a stallion bred in Brazil, and has a dam bred in Germany, where stallions are subject to strict soundness requirements. The only American-breds in Animal Kingdom=s first three generations are Candy Stripes, his paternal grandsire who raced in France, and Dancing Brave, the British-based superstar who sired his second dam Dynamis. American-breds are also rather scarce among the 16 horses in Animal Kingdom=s fourth generation, the exceptions being Red God, Lyphard (who appears twice), Sookera and Navajo Princess. Of these, Red God started his racing career in England, while Lyphard and Sookera raced exclusively in Europe.

  • Bill Oppenheim, October 2-Kerali Reunion KERALI REUNION
    Bill Oppenheim, October 2-Kerali Reunion KERALI REUNION The biggest news in the breeding world last week was the announcement that Kirsten Rausing=s Lanwades Stud near Newmarket has done a deal to bring Animal Kingdom=s sire and Dansili=s cousin Leroidesanimaux over from his current base in Florida for the 2014 season. It=s great news for European Leroidesanimaux breeders, who Horsephotos knew >Leroi=, as he seems to be universally known, would always be a welcome addition to European stallion ranks. Even before he was the sire of Animal Kingdom, the only horse to win the GI Kentucky Derby (dirt) and the G1 Dubai World Cup (AW)--plus, don=t forget, he gave Wise Dan a scare in last year=s GI Breeders= Cup Mile on the turf--Leroidesanimaux had great credentials to stand in Europe. Bred in Brazil and by the leading Argentine sire Candy Stripes (by Blushing Groom) out of a half-sister to Hasili, dam of five Group 1 winners plus Dansili, under the tutelage of the incomparable Bobby Frankel >Leroi= reeled off eight wins in a row over two seasons on the grass in North America in 2004-05--the last six with Beyers all between 109-115--before Artie Schiller stopped his streak in the 2005 GI Breeders= Cup Mile. Even so, >Leroi= was deservedly voted U.S. Grass Champion in 2005. >Leroi= entered stud in Kentucky in 2006, and stood there for five seasons before moving to Florida, where he has stood the last three. Owner/breeder/trainer Jim Bolger was on to him early, and trained >A Runner= colts (though neither black-type winners) from his first two crops: Marbach, who Bolger bought at Goffs, ran second in the 2009 Goffs= Million; and Glor Na Mara, who Bolger bred in Leroi=s second crop, placed in six group races, including running third in Frankel=s G1 Dewhurst S.
