When the handsome gray colt Jack and Noah won the Atlantic Beach S. with ease at Aqueduct on November 9, he represented what might be a first wave of invaders by the young Dansili stallion, Bated Breath. North Americans may not be aware of Bated Breath, but he is a beautifully bred sprint specialist (five and six furlongs were his best distances) from the truly admirable Juddmonte breeding program.<\/p>\r\n
Bated Breath entered stud in 2013 at Banstead Manor in Suffolk, England, and he is a bargain at \u00a312,500. Jack and Noah isn\u2019t his only big horse to appear on North American shores. Daahyeh finished second in the Breeders\u2019 Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf-G1. Simply Breathless won the Grade 3 Wilshire S. at Santa Anita. Feel Glorious won the Memories of Silver S. at Aqueduct. Flying under the radar in this country, but on the map in the UK with the same number of winners as Galileo and Sea the Stars, behind only Shamardal, at Ascot in 2019, this appears to be a young stallion to pay attention to.<\/p>\r\n
Bated Breath\u2019s pedigree features the usual suspects in Juddmonte\u2019s spectacular breeding program. They are committed to the Nijinsky II\/Blushing Groom cross, which creates stakes winners with ease, and Bated Breath\u2019s pedigree actually features two doses of Blushing Groom, 5 x 4, through Kahyasi\u2019s granddam and Nashwan\u2019s sire.<\/p>\r\n
Juddmonte\u2019s homebred stallion Distant View was by Mr. Prospector, out of the Irish River mare Seven Springs, and she was responsible for his turf ability. She brings the ubiquitous Never Bend to the table, through Riverman, and also that all-important dose of Klarion, which nicks so well with his close genetic relative, Turn-to, through Roberto and Sir Gaylord in Bated Breath\u2019s pedigree. He is also inbred 4 x 6 x 6 x 6 to Northern Dancer, twice through Danzig, and once each through Nijinsky II and Lyphard.<\/p>\r\n
The signature of Juddmonte breeding is the presence of a tail-female Blue Hen, in this case through Bated Breath\u2019s fifth dam, Best in Show. Other important mares can\u2019t be ignored, however, such as Spring Adieu (by Buckpasser, out of Natalma herself, Northern Dancer\u2019s dam), Razyana (by His Majesty, out of Spring Adieu), and of course Somethingroyal (through Best in Show\u2019s daughter Monroe).<\/p>\r\n
The 1933 mare Feola, found twice in Nashwan, calls out to the Round Table in Hasili, and therefore complements the Princequillo mare Somethingroyal as well, as Round Table was a son of Princequillo. Lest we forget, La Troienne, through Buckpasser, has a significant effect on Jack and Noah\u2019s pedigree.<\/p>\r\n
Jack and Noah\u2019s female family was represented by 2012 Breeders\u2019 Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf-G1 winner, Flotilla, who was by Mizzen Mast, Jack and Noah\u2019s broodmare sire, out of Louvain, Jack and Noah\u2019s third dam. Jack and Noah is therefore double bred Caro, through Cozzene and the dam of Maria\u2019s Mon, Carlotta Maria, a daughter of Caro, making this inbreeding on the valuable zigzag, so that Jack and Noah gets the best of what Caro has to offer from these male and female relatives.<\/p>\r\n
Through Mizzen Mast we get a dose of Graustark, His Majesty\u2019s full brother, with yet another dose of their sire, Ribot, tail female. This pedigree oozes grass ability. We also get another dose of Buckpasser, through Wavering Monarch, two more of Somethingroyal through Secretariat and Sir Gaylord, and yet another dose of Never Bend through his son, Mill Reef. Two doses of Djebel and his close relation Tourisma reach out to the Turn-to and Klarion in the sire.<\/p>\r\n
I\u2019m always interested in where the gray coat coloration comes from, and of course the doubling of Caro on the dams\u2019 side is a natural source, but it is its connection with Grey Sovereign, In Hasili\u2019s dams\u2019 side, that cements the gray coat hat trick.<\/p>\r\n
Bated Breath\u2019s other stakes winning and stakes placed offspring come from very different pedigree lines than Jack and Noah\u2019s, so that none of them resembles the other on the page. This is a very good sign for this young stallion, as he seems to cross successfully with so many different lines. Perhaps the relatively inexpensive, little known Bated Breath may be a star in the making.<\/p>\r\n
