Sire suggestions

The mares name is Miss Statement, by Press Statement out of the Tale Of The Cat mare Arziki. The dam is a sister to November Flight which means she is from the family of Pierata and Ashokan among others.

My syndicate have decided on three options, to chose from.

1. Profiteer.

2. Tassort. 2nd in a Silver Slipper and from the family of Alizee and Astern.

3. Graff. San Domenico winner, 3rd in the Golden Rose, 4th in the Newmarket and 5th in The Everest.

Any assistance would be much appreciated from people with more knowledge of breeding than myself    

Now with the Tassort you looking at Triscay to bring in the Sir Tristram blood and of course you also get a line of Century through her daughter La Baraka but once again your filly had one win and so did Tassort.  Maybe you need a bit more oomph in the mix.

Graff gives you a better race record and at least won or placed up to 1400m.  But on the down side your Sir Trsitram is through two sire sons and without the female cross.  But both Graff and Tassort have a nice clean page.  Pity Astern wasn't a tad cheaper as he has proven to get a good horse and also carries the Century/ female Sir Tristram cross which Tassort has.

Goldey mentioned Cosmic Force above and this is also a cleaner pedigree but carries Sir Tristram and the Kaoru Star/Better Boy blood which is deep in your female line.  He was also more of a speed horse but carries two lines of Eight Carat's daughter Cotehele House (dam of Commands and Danewin) as well as a line of Quest for Fame who can also give you a bit of oomph over that middle distance.

Alternativly you could go for the Fastnet Rock cross to the Sadler's Wells line with Peltzer giving you a very interesting cross with the m x f for Mr Prospector and the So You Think 13a Juliet line to Kaaptive Edition with his 13a Juliet line to go with all the Mr Prospector, Darshaan and Elusive Quality 13 c blood.  He was a speed son of So You Think but did win up to 1600m and gives you a more solid horse to cross to.

If you're trying to breed to sell, two of the three options you list are very commercially risky 3rd crop sires and the third one's performance isn't exactly inspiring.

Graff has the best race record and best longevity of the bunch.  Star Witness has already produced one decent stallion son in Star Turn, so he also has that going for them.

Tassort...how sound is your mare?  Was she sound enough to risk on an unproven stallion who only raced twice?  And if you're selling, do you want to risk being in his 3rd crop if the first crop doesn't run at 2?  

I'm quite lukewarm towards Profiteer.  His big payday was in a restricted sales race.  He ran creditably in the Todman, behind Anamoe and ahead of Home Affairs, but failed to mature to that same level as a 3yo.  

I note that two of your three choices are at Newgate.  Do you have a connection there? Because if you do, Tiger of Malay has a better race record than Profiteer and in many ways a really interesting pedigree matchup.  He was 5th and far from disgraced behind In the Congo in the Golden Rose, which was easily the toughest field faced by either him, Tassort, or Profiteer (Gr-1 Anamoe, In the Congo, Artorious, Startantes, and Captivant; Gr-2 Jamaea, Coastwatch, Hilal).  Pedigree-wise, he has Easy Date, Hussonet (who has crossed well with Fastnet Rock to the tune of Gr-1 winner Shoals), and Bluebird, for a daughter line to Sir Ivor without Zabeel.  His sire Extreme Choice really brings this into focus -- for a start, his stakes-winning daughter Wollombi is out of a Hinchinbrook mare.  Meridius is out of a mare by a son of Fastnet Rock.  Stakes-placed Extremist is out of a Johannesburg mare, who is a 3/4 sibling to Tale of the Cat, and has Sir T further down his mare line.

If you're trying to breed a racehorse, Denman brings in the Zabeel line, is affordably priced, and can still sell for enough to be profitable, especially in the last few Inglis Highway sessions.

I am not sure about the connection with Newgate, but the syndicate is a Australian Bloodstock syndicate so maybe they do have a connection with Newgate.

I am interested in Cosmic Force and Tiger Of Malay as sires and I will make those suggestions to the syndicate.

Thank you all for the feedback and advice
