I bought a mare I would be interested in your thoughts for if you have time.  Her name is Pepperano.  She is quite difficult to breed having soundness issues and being very big, a real clunker.  plenty of bone and scope about her on the plus side.  she had an ole kirk foal and he has too much bulk.  couple deep fields also which are no good.  was thinking about Admire Mars or Dundeel.  don't actually mind talismanic.  outcross probably good idea.  think i like the following bloodlines for her in no particular order lunchtime, sir tristram, marscay, Kenmare, star kingdom, anabaa, storm cat, more than ready, medaglia d'oro, singspiel, never say die, red ransom, sadlers wells, galileo, mr prospector.

You could try the Lonhro sire line.  He refines and you'd get the cross to Eight Carat.

Bought a nice mare called Pepperano and she is quite difficult to breed to.  She is a big clunky mare who has had a couple deep field foals and an ole kirk.  she does have good bone and scope though.  i bought her in foal and will be first time i have bred her.  the ole kirk (6 months) is the size of an elephant.  i was thinking admire mars or dundeel.  wondered if anyone had any thoughts?  she was a cripple when racing and inbred to Danehill so fairly keen to outcross, is an early runner, need a commercial cross though likely will breed to race.  keen to breed to a horse that can run early and also win from 1200 to 2000 metres.  hence admire mars and dundeel tick these boxes and some obvious affinities in the bloodlines. any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated?

Welcome to the forum Jeffrey

Well believe you have not one but two problems: the mare is (a) difficult to match from a pedigree perspective and (b) appears to be the prime problem from a physical perspective.  So even if you find stallions that suit in relation to (a) they may not be suitable on account of their size, and (b) less bulky stallions may well contain too much Danehill blood.

The earlier choices of Deep Field and Ole Kirk look ok on paper and neither are gross stallons, however you advise that the foals are either no good or too big. 

Another issue is stud fee.  You’ve already shelled out $120k for the mare and given the mare’s lack of success thus far you may be over-breeding to Dundeel at $66k.  So perhaps his son Castelvecchio at a likely negotiable $19.8k may have some appeal.  Another one worth consideration might be North Pacific which is free of Danehill and brings in the Eight Carat cross as sort of suggested elsewhere by Furious.

Over to others.

not sure how to reply to people properly so this is responding to second chance.  in for a penny in for a pound.  probably have admire mars first and dundeel second at this stage.  admire mars fertility is a problem however.  does give me a horse that adds some stamina and can race at 2.  plus don't mind the bloodline match and on type he gives us some hope and he may have success here given likely affinity for More than ready and on good farm.

Find it hard to make judgement on Admire Mars other to say it's perhaps a leap of faith to suggest he'd match well with Pepperano.  He may but just as easily may not.
See the mare visited him in 2022 so assume she's not in foal if you're considering going that way again, however if she is in foal believe you'd be better served going elsewhere for the 2023 season.  And of course AM may not return next Spring.
I'd be seeking alternate advice re Castlececchio if you just asked "what are his foals like", as the answer often given by studs is what they believe you want to hear.  You know, "big strong well put together fellows".  However ignore the foregoing if you prefaced your question about his stock by saying you were wary of getting big foal. 
Guess that's all I have to offer at this stage, but BOL whichever way you go.

The first thing I noticed about Pepperano's breeding is that her broodmare sire is a full sibling to Leone Chiara, dam of Star Witness and Nostradamus, and half sibling to Lumina, dam of Pohutukawa.  Both Nostradamus and Lumina are by Medaglia D'Oro.  Star Witness has exactly one runnerl out of a Medaglia D'Oro mare, and she is a listed-winning and Gr-3 placed earner of over $300k.  Unfortunately, the only sons of Medaglia D'Oro standing in Australia right now have up-close lines of Danehil.  If Talismanic shuttles in the spring, the concern with him is that she's a super-fast speedball and he won at 2800 m...you risk getting the speed of the stayer and stamina of the sprinter with a cross like that.  

From the same sireline of El Prado, you can choose between stalwart Artie Schiller and his son Flying Artie.  

Although he's getting up there in age, Lonhro is mostly an outcross, gets runners at a mile or longer, is still commercially attractive (though you might want to negotiate on his fee), and as others have noted, he will refine a heavier mare.

Although I wouldn't normally consider Storm Cat for a heavy-bodied mare, Victor Ludorum may be okay.  He's by Shamardal, who brings in Machiavellian, out of a granddaughter of Helen Street.  His second dam is by Pennekamp, a son of Coral Dance by Green Dancer, who traces to the same mare line of one of Pepperano's best ancestors in Grey Dawn.

Also bringing in Machiavellian and off to a decent start at stud is Harry Angel.  His sire traces to Try my Best, grandsire of Chiara, and is out of a Machiavellian mare.  His dam's side is interesting, with a useful racehorse stallion and very good broodmare sire in Lord Avie and a lot of sound, useful racehorses who compete well in stakes company.

flying artie is lovely on type for her and bloodlines look solid at first glance.  thankyou this is some good work and lines up with how i have been seeing it.  was thinking about talismanic also but for a stayer he don't look that light.

Will be interesting to see how Artorius comes up this Autumn.  If he doesn't win at Group 1 level suspect Flying Artie will be available for about $11k this coming Spring.

And talking about Star Witness/Leone Chiara as KM indeed was, sometimes pays to think outside the box, go a tad feral; ie consider Star Witness's son Star Turn.  He's flying under the radar somewhat considering his AEI of about 1.30 and has a fine winners to runners ratio. 

Now here's the rub: his match with Pepperano results in full siblings Leone Chiara and Ferocity 3f x 3m and while it introduces another line of Danehill it's back at 4 x 5 x 5.  As a line-breeding aficionado I'd certainly consider giving it a go, others who go for nicks and affinities mightn't.

Realize this is probably just unnecessarily muddying the water but felt a need to put it out there.

hi second chance.  on type flying artie is very close to perfect which means a lot with this mare.  he is an outcross also which is pretty big deal as she was called a cripple by people training her.  they said she had more ability then she was able to show.  plus he was an early 2 year old which was one of her best attributes.

Then Flying Artie is good.  I was looking at Castleveccio and his build is more chunky.  That's one of the reasons I went straight to Lonhro but Last Tycoon line also usually have a fine build.  Maybe one of the reasons both lines have gone well with Redoute's Choice mares.

Flying Artie also gives you the Sadler's Wells line over Danehill blood. 

I guess you could also look at Brutal and Grunt two O'Reilly sons.  O'Reilly is a son of Last Tycoon.  But both probably wont give to early two year old speed.

While we're temporarily going down the Last Tycoon route, some may have noticed that my suggestion of North Pacific would not only introduce the Eight Carat cross but also give you sex balanced Last Tycoon 4 x 5.  But I digress.

Yes but I thought the I am Invincible part would have that larger build.  Very confusing Jeffrey as with every pedigree you don't know which genes will come through.  So you can have full syblings looking totally different!

North Pacific in my pic above looks very heavyset to me as do most Brazen Beaus but Star Turn below, looks to have plenty of leg & more refined plus, like 2nd Chance, I love the specific line breeding. Whilst he hasn't set the world on fire, he may well need more mares who are line bred to him & not just via Danehill Big smile

Your mare's trainers were a tough crowd -- this is a horse who ran out 21 starts for over $500,000!  Eight of those starts were as a 2yo, no less.

Pepperano has a line to Crozier via his son Crested Wave, who was a top stallion in NZ for a while.  Surprise Baby's second dam and Jennifer Eccles' third dam are both daughters of Crested Wave.  There are at least 6 foals by Centaine out of Crested Wave mares, including at least 3 winners, and at least 1 foal by Rubiton out of a Crested Wave mare who ran over 50 starts and earned close to $200,000 in the mid 1990s.  While it's not been tried a lot, it doesn't appear to be a cross producing negative results.

Crested Wave is out of a mare by Argentine stallion Quibu.  The fantastic producer Smartaire is by Quibu out of a mare by Olympia and her third dam is by Questionnaire; Crested Wave's dam is by Quibu out of a mare by a son of Questionnaire who is in turn out of a mare by Olympia. Smartaire produced champion Smart Angle, useful stallion Quadratic, and solid racehorse-producing sire Smarten.  Out of two Quadratic mares he saw, El Prado has a multiple Canadian Gr-3 winning near-millionaire in El Prado Essence and another winner.  Artie Schiller has not seen many mares with Quadratic, but one of the few bred on that cross is a Gr-2 winner named Mr. Commons (2nd dam by Quadratic) who won over $900k on the track.

Your post leads me to mention that I thought I noticed a number of 1W/Lavendula II etc. instances, so I checked 'ancestors' in more detail To discover a heavy number (sorry, got side tracked in the process Embarrassed) of that family & your mention of Crozier reminded me. This influence still seems relevant today.
Thought I'd mention it in case it helps Smile

Don't think Jeffrey has Artie Schiller in the frame, but just for info he's a big strong bugger though not coarse.  And a windsucker.  See there's no stud return for his covers in 2022 so hope he's still alive and if so still serving mares.
