and one of his sons sired another top miler Olympic Glory from an ALZAO mare. Danehill Dancer’s smart son Jeremy had a second dam by ALZAO . LINAMIX mares have excellent records with Danehill Dancer and his son Choisir. Kingston Hill’s male line has traditionally enjoyed plenty of success with SHARPEN UP . As this top stallion will be back in the fifth generation of Kingston Hill’s foals, there is plenty of scope for another line, via such as KRIS , DIESIS , SELKIRK , TREMPOLINO and COMMON GROUNDS . Another stallion with a dam by Rainbow Quest sired a Gr.1 2yo winner from a SELKIRK mare. Kingston Hill’s sire already has a very useful French filly with a dam by KINGMAMBO and a top-class son with a KINGMAMBO second dam. Three of Mastercraftsman’s Group winners have dams by grandsons of MR PROSPECTOR , with one having a dam by MR GREELEY , a GONE WEST horse. ELUSIVE QUALITY , SPEIGHTSTOWN , ZAFONIC , ZAMINDAR , KING’S BEST and MEDICEAN are other grandsons of MR PROSPECTOR whose daughters could succeed with Kingston Hill. Another stallion out of a Rainbow Quest mare has two Gr.2 winners out of daughters of MACHIAVELLIAN . His grandsire Danehill Dancer sired a classic winner from a mare by INDIAN RIDGE . Three of Danehill Dancer’s stallion sons have Group winners from this line, from daughters of INDIAN RIDGE , NAMID and COMPTON PLACE . Mastercraftsman has a Gr.3 winner out of a CAERLEON mare. Danehill Dancer sired two of his classic winners, Speciosa and Again, from mares by a son and a grandson of NIJINSKY . Danehill Dancer had other Group winners out of mares by GREEN DANCER , CAERLEON (2) and ROYAL ACADEMY . A son of Danehill Dancer sired a Prix de l’Abbaye winner from a daughter of CAERLEON . Footstepsinthesand, another stallion with a dam by Rainbow Quest, has an eyecatching record with daughters of DANEHILL , their five stakes winners equating to 13%. Danehill sired a Derby winner from a Rainbow Quest mare. Danehill mares create 4x2 inbreeding with Kingston Hill, but his grand-daughters produce an acceptable 4x3. This suggests daughters of DANSILI , DUKE OF MARMALADE , EXCEED AND EXCEL , FASTNET ROCK , HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR , KODIAC and ROCK OF GIBRALTAR . His sire Mastercraftsman already has a Group-placed performer with a dam by OASIS DREAM . Kingston Hill is also an option for daughters of INVINCIBLE SPIRIT and CAPE CROSS . Footstepsinthesand has a Gr.2 2yo winner with a dam by ROYAL APPLAUSE . Together with his son ACCLAMATION and grandson DARK ANGEL , this male line should reinforce Kingston Hill’s 2yo ability. Several elements in Kingston Hill’s pedigree have worked well with daughters of SHIRLEY HEIGHTS , DARSHAAN and MARK OF ESTEEM .
