germany the next hot spot for stallions
Breeding
The German breeding association demands that a horse earn a certain level on their Free Handicap at 3 before it can stand in Germany,this is where breeders in Europe and australia will be starting to look to fortify their weakening stock these days, they have a good quality control in place for toughness and racing quality

The Lane’s End Weekender Pedigree: German Influence
by Frank Mitchell | 07.30.2013 | 7:34am
Danedream wins Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe
The runaway victory by Novellist in the Group 1 King George VI
and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot on Saturday carries several points
of importance for breeding and racing. First, German breeders and their
bloodstock are hitting the brass ring of premium international success
at a far higher rate than their opponents, rather in the fashion of the
Dormello Stud operation of Federico Tesio and Mario Incisa, breeders of
Nearco and Ribot, the best among many high-class racers.
There is no single reason why this should be so. The breeders in
Germany do not spend outlandish sums for bloodstock, nor do they have
the sought-after bloodlines to work with. This makes their results all
the more impressive and perhaps instructive to the rest of the
bloodstock world.
One explanation for the ascendency of breeders in Germany and their
bloodstock came in a conversation a few years ago. In the aftermath of
the debacle of Bellamy Road’s effort as favorite in the 2006 Kentucky
Derby, I sat down to dinner with the internationally known and respected
bloodstock writer Tony Morris.
In a wide-ranging and illuminating talk, Morris mentioned that
breeders in Germany were doing excellent work and that they were reaping
the rewards for years of concentrated effort. Although I knew the
international performers already on the stage from German breeding,
Morris’s contention was that there was more depth and quality to come.
To my query about why this was so, he said that the breeding programs
of the best German studs focused on the athleticism of the parent
stock. In addition to racing ability, the criteria for breeding stock
included an emphasis on conformation, on soundness, and on racing
without medication.
Yet I’m not sure even Morris would have envisioned the volume of
![LE-13313-CURLIN-PR300x250[1]](http://www.paulickreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/LE-13313-CURLIN-PR300x2501-240x200.jpg "The Lane's End Weekender Pedigree: German Influence")
premier winners German breeders have been producing of late. For
decades, the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe and King George have figured
notably among the most contentious international races, and German-breds
have won three recent runnings of those races, with Danedream (2011
Arc, 2012 King George) and Novellist in the King George.
Novellist is the latest of these but surely not the last. The momentum
for Thoroughbred breeding in Germany is very positive, and when the
production of top international performers indicates a sea change in
breeding, as when North American breeders were producing horses like Sir
Ivor, Habitat, Nijinsky, and Mill Reef nearly half a century ago, it is
wise to pay attention.
Although dropped in Ireland when his high-class dam was there for
covering, Novellist is as pure a product of the German breeding and
racing program as one could wish. He is by the grand old sire of German
breeding, Monsun, whose influence is going to be larger than one country
can contain. Already the sire of 96 stakes winners (15% to foals),
Monsun has sired such internationally acclaimed performers as Shirocco,
Stacelita, and Manduro.
Unfortunately, Monsun died last September at age 22, and this year
the stallion’s top winners include Novellist, Estimate (Ascot Gold Cup,
England), Silasol (Prix Saint-Alary, France), and Maxios (Prix
d’Ispahan, France), all G1s. Their successes came at distances from nine
to 12 furlongs, and nearly all the performers by Monsun showed improved
form over a distance of ground.
Given that heritage of stamina, German breeders did not ignore the importance of speed in a pedigree.
Novellist is the fifth winner from five racers out of Night Lagoon,
the highweighted juvenile filly in Germany for 2003. Novellist is much
her best produce to date, but the stakes-winning daughter of Lagunas (a
highweighted juvenile colt by 1978 King George winner Ile de Bourbon)
has visited prominent stallions abroad (Arc de Triomphe winners Montjeu
and Dalakhani) interspersed with matings to Monsun.
Part of the thorough attention that German breeders have paid to
breeding Thoroughbreds is their emphasis on the classics, both those
races restricted to 3-year-olds and those supreme all-age contests, and
the avoidance of one-dimensional sprinters. As a result, the stock from
German studs does not make much of an impact in the top sprint category,
but there also aren’t any classics run at five or six furlongs.
American breeders have reached compulsively for the speed gun in
breeding, in part due to the benevolent despotism of Mr. Prospector, who
was such an influence for malleable speed of the highest quality that
some of his sons and daughters won at the premium level going 10 and 12
furlongs. Very few speed sires are in Mr. Prospector’s class, however.
That makes the development of sires with genuine classic merit all
the more important for breeding and racing here in the States. Horse of
the Year Curlin, winner of the Preakness and a very close second in the
Belmont Stakes, has made a promising start to his stud career as a sire
of horses who mature well and show class going two turns. From the
evidence to date, the big chestnut is following closely in the
footprints of his sire Smart Strike, whose best offspring generally show
their form at a mile or more, typically in their second season of
racing or later.
Curlin has sired a Belmont Stakes winner in his first crop, and
Palace Malice franked the form of his classic victory last month with a
clever-looking success in the G2 Jim Dandy Stakes at Saratoga, which is
intended as the bay colt’s prep for the 10-furlong Travers.

Lucky Speed (IRE)
2010 Silvano (GER) Lysuna (GER)
WALDPARK (GER) [2008] 5yo b h 01/08/2008
regarding
a report in the racing paper "Sportwelt", Reliable Man (Dalakhani - On
Fair Stage by Sadlers Wells) will stand at the "Roettgen Stud" (Cologne)
in 2014. A covering fee was not yet published.
Mtw, it's the stud who developed the damline of Helmet, Bullbars and Epaulette
Description:
The German horses are killing the Australian Horses at present, horses like Pakal, Salon Soldier, Hathras, Lucas Cranach, Mawingo have all dominated in Australia and we have this horse available for sale as he has become surplus to our needs.He is a very sound horse and has passed a full vet exam including x-rays.
He would be ideal for anyone who wants to have a trainer of their choice to buy him. He is a very consistent horse and on the pedigree side of things he is only meant to be racing as a 4yr old- however his 3yr old form this season has been excellent considering he has been immature.
The beauty of this horse is he has had just 5 starts and has placed 3 times behind some of Germany's best horses.This horse is ranked in the top 25 of his generation !!!
The big advantage of this horse is he will come to Australia as a maiden galloper and even without improving at all - which all first prep horses do- not to mention the horse is bred to be a 5yr old- then you can see why we like him and why we think he can be a really above average horse in Australia.
All 5 starts have either been in Group races or against horses who would go on and be Multiple Group horses.
Check out his video in this advertisement and if your seriously wanting a Saturday plus horse at a bargain price act quickly as he wont last at this price as he is at least half the normal price you would pay for a horse of this quality
**** Note: Shipping to Australia is $26k and is exclusive the quoted price ***
all's i'ld say is BUYER BEWARE if 2+2 doesn't =4 somethings not quiet right
i'll send a message through to a connection in germany but matching the photo to the horse in the video i'm thinking it the one that ran second cant read it properly but think possibly napolean ?
but even still $111000 maiden would still be extremely cautious

young one with nice pedigree
The WFA Group 1 winning
import Mawingo (Ger) is set to stand at Larneuk Stud in Euroa.
was a Group 1 winner who accumulated over a million dollars in stakes money
across 3 different countries. Blessed with a combination of speed and stamina, his
race record saw him effective over a range of distances from 1400 - 2400 metres
and saw his TIMEFORM Rating place him in the top 12 stallions in the world at
one point
His stunning turn of foot was evident from an early age where he was never out
of a place as a 2 year old. He then followed up as a Group 3 winner as a three
year old and finished 4th in an exceptionally strong 2011 German
Derby. In his first campaign in Australia, he won the G1 WFA Doomben Cup over
2000m and then followed up with a brave 3rd in the G3 Brisbane Cup.
Mawingo’s impressive sprint versatility was highlighted in the G1 C.F Orr
Stakes over 1400 metres where he was extremely unlucky in running second to All
Too Hard. In the words of jockey Craig Williams…"He showed amazing speed and
with any luck at all, should have won”.
Mawingo then moved to Singapore where he further developed his International
profile and ran third behind Military Attack in what TIMEFORM says was
Singapore’s "best ever” Group 1 International Cup. He raced on in Singapore
with another victory before having to be retired on the eve of the G1 Raffles
Cup where he was a pronounced favourite.
Mawingo’s pedigree is littered with success stories. He is by Tertullian (USA),
a son of Miswaki and Group winner over
1400 metres who is building an incredible record in Europe. His dam Montfleur is
by Sadler’s Wells and comes from an equally impressive family of listed winners
from all around the world.
It’s a Group 1 winning combination of pedigree,
versatility and looks, combined with an invaluable International and Asian
profile, that make him incredible value for only $5,500 including GST.

Another major part that everyone has forgotten and as your post suggests is lack of speed. Hard to comprehend but stamina is speed ,that's half the problem today is we've breed to speed for so long that you look at a mares page and 9-10 over 3 generations the winning distance gets shorter.
Stamina is speed and the key to the future ;)
