No matter whether you are a farm owner standing a young stallion or one of the breeders using an unproven horse, these activities are as risky as navigating treacherous waters. For the stallion owners, whether the horse sinks or swims depends greatly on his being pitched at the right fee over the first four years, and even then they can expect to see support steadily drifting away. The Jockey Club=s recently released figures help illustrate the size of this problem. Among the stallions which covered their first mares in Kentucky in 2009 were First Defence, whose first three books stood at 86 mares in 2009, 76 in 2010 and 41 this year. Others in a similar boat were Harlington (61, 57, 23), Heatseeker (82, 57, 22), Horse Greeley (83, 47, 34), Midnight Lute (159, 114, 96), Nobiz Like Shobiz (100, 70, 45), Run Away And Hide (101, 78, 52), Spring At Last (115, 92, 65), Street Boss (153, 120, 87) and Student Council (107, 76, 47).

Mare owners= aspirations can also rapidly hit the These highly encouraging performances earned him a rocks if their timing is off. For example, if the young figure of 112 on the European 2-year-old rankings, stallion in which they are interested did not shine at 11lbs behind Shamardal and 10lbs behind Dubawi. two, it might be better to support him in his third year, Manduro=s development into a top-flight performer rather than his second.

However, the picture looked much less rosy a matter of weeks ago. When Bonfire won his maiden in fine THE WEEK IN PHOTOS style at Salisbury at the end of September, he became brought to you by only the third winner for his sire and his first in HORSEPHOTOS.COM and the England. Even now, Bonfire and Madgenta rank as the only winners among Manduro=s first 24 runners in Britain and Ireland from a crop of around 128. Fortunately his figures in FranceB-where he did much of his racing--stand at a much healthier total of three winners from eight lightly raced runners. In the circumstances, buyers could have been forgiven for being wary of Manduro=s second-crop yearlings at the major sales in August, September and October. The presence among these yearlings of a filly which made i400,000 to the bid of Demi O=Byrne helped raise the average to i41,100--just over double Manduro=s 2009 fee of ,20,000. However, his median was a less healthy 25,500gns. The breeders who made a loss must be wishing that the sales could have been delayed a couple of months. The question they have to ask themselves is whether it was a fair bet that Manduro would have plenty of Snow Fairy’s connections reward her for a job well done first-crop winners by the time the 2011 yearling sales after her gutsy victory in Sunday’s Queen Elizabeth II came around. The fact that he established himself as Commemorative Cup-G1. Germany=s champion 2-year-old of 2004 is a little PLEASE CLICK deceptive. He ran only twice as a juvenile.

Manduro=s four annual Timeform ratings stood at 115, 118, 123 and 135, a progression which suggests he was no certainty to make a quick impression with his first juveniles. I am pleased that he finally has done so, because his pedigree, which contains just one line of Northern Dancer, could prove very valuable to the European industry. It is worth adding that older stallion sons of Monsun include the German-based Samum, who has four Group 1 winners to his credit, including a winner of the Deutsches Derby. Then there=s Shirocco, who has the encouraging total of six first-crop 3-year-olds with Racing Post ratings between 111 and 119. As Manduro stood his first season at a substantial fee of i40,000, he is sure to have covered some very well-bred mares. A fine example is Mandaean=s dam Summertime Legacy, who now has two 2011 Group 1 winners to her credit, the other being her Prix Saint-Alary winner Wavering (Ire) (Refuse to Bend {Ire}). Summertime Legacy was herself third in the Prix Saint-Alary, having won the G3 Prix des Reservoirs at two. Summertime Legacy=s dam Zawaahy was a three-parts-sister--by El Gran Senor--to =s Derby winner and her third dam is the celebrated Rare Treat. This is also the family of Be My Guest, a high-class miler and champion sire who fathered Manduro=s dam Mandellicht. This means that Mandaean is inbred 5x4 to Rare Treat via her daughters What A Treat and Exotic Treat. When What A Treat came on the market in February 1972 as part of the George D.
