ASecondly, it changed the economics of the stallion business because it substantially increased the potential income a stallion could earn and increased his opportunities to succeed with different broodmare populations,@ Messara continued. AThat made it easier to attract a new generation of city-based investors to stallion and broodmare ownership.@ Messara explained that the introduction of shuttlers Australia and the Shuttle Effect (cont. from p1) rapidly improved the Australian breed to a world-class This trend is a clear contrast to the early 90s, when level. the concept of shuttling took off and horses like Last AIt very quickly expanded and refreshed our gene pool Tycoon (GB) and Bluebird were made available to with results that continue to be seen in major races Australian breeders.

The rise in quality of the Australian Thoroughbred is evidenced by the parade of Royal Ascot-winning sprinters to come out of Australia since Choisir (Aus)--a son of Coolmore shuttler Danehill Dancer (Ire) (Danehill)--became the first Australian-trained winner in Britain when recording a remarkable King=s Stand/Diamond Jubilee double in 2003. Three years later Takeover Target (Aus)--a son of French Derby winner and shuttler Celtic Swing (GB)--won the same race. Miss Andretti (Aus) and Scenic Blast (Aus), winners of the King=s Stand in 2007 and 2009, were by imported sons of Royal Academy and Sadler=s Wells, respectively. Choisir=s son Starspangledbanner (Aus) took the Golden Jubilee S. in 2010. That race was renamed the Diamond Jubilee in 2012, the year Black Caviar (Aus), another third generation descendant of Royal Academy through her sire Bel Esprit (Aus), made her successful raid. The following year Black Caviar topped the Longines World=s Best Racehorse Rankings, a first for an Australian-bred. As much as Danehill=s success paved the way for shuttling, Messara explained that it also Acooled the enthusiasm@ for any sires outside the Danzig line; breeders wanted to stick with what was working. Nonetheless, the likes of Dehere, Tale of the Cat, Red Ransom and More Than Ready came along from other lines and enjoyed success.
A New Kind Of Competition... The prominence of shuttlers on the sire table likely reached its peak in 2001/02; at the end of that racing season, eight of the top 10 leading sires were shuttlers. The number of shuttlers at the top of the leaderboard dropped steadily thereafter, however, to six the following year; four in 2003/04 and Danehill three in 2004/05. In Arrowfield 2012/13 there was one shuttler on the top 10 general sires list, and in 2013/14 there were none. A closer look at the current sire table, however, will reveal that eight of the top 10 sires are either sons or grandsons of shuttlers. Fastnet Rock (Aus) and Redoute=s Choice (Aus), currently one-two, respectively, are both former champion sires and sons of Danehill, and six of the top 10 are sons or grandson of Danehill. I Am Invincible (Aus), a son of Invincible Spirit--who shuttled Down Under just three seasons-- was last season=s champion freshman sire, and he currently leads all second-season sires. His first-crop son Brazen Beau (Aus) won the G1 Coolmore Stud S., one the country=s premier sire- making races, at the Melbourne Cup carnival and was recently purchased by Darley for stud duty.

Pulford praised the American racing system and its ability to turn out top-class sire prospects. AI love American racing because it=s speed racing-- they=re racing on the pace, they=re fast-run, genuine races and the best horse generally wins,@ he explained. AAmerican racing seems to be, from afar, far less tactical than Australian racing. That has to be good for determining who the best horses really are and giving them their chance [at stud]. In Australia, the best horse generally comes through in the end, but sometimes they take a while to do it, or have bad luck along the way.@ Pulford said another reason for giving distance stallions a shot Down Under is that the fierce competition among sprinters has created a very tall task for horses of that profile. AIf you look at our general sire list it tends to be dominated by local-bred Australian sprinters, and most commonly from the Danzig line, but not always,@ he said. ASo you have to be very good as a short course horse to come here and carve out a niche at stud.@ Arrowfield threw its confidence behind the concept of U.S.-bred, distance-excelling sire prospects when purchasing GI Kentucky Derby and G1 Dubai World Cup winner Animal Kingdom (Leroidesanimaux {Brz}) for stud duty in 2013. AOur purchase of Animal Kingdom takes a slightly different direction, but reflects this Coolmore Stud, along with Darley, is one of the few more recent trend as well operations that offers breeders an array of shuttle as echoing the original choices from Europe and the U.S.--indeed, six of the 12 Animal Kingdom shuttle stallion concept stallions at Coolmore Australia in 2014 were shuttlers.
