MATING SUGGESTIONS:
It is a measure of Kingston Hill’s talent that he was officially rated the second-best European 2yo of 2013 and then
became a leading classic performer at three. His 2yo rating of 120, which placed him ahead of No Nay Never, War
Command, Karakontie and Australia, was based on an unbeaten record in three starts. He took the Gr.3 Autumn Stakes
by two lengths and the Gr.1 Racing Post Trophy by four and a half.
Kingston Hill’s dam Audacieuse won the Gr.3 Prix de Flore, while his second dam Sarah Georgina was a six-furlong
2yo winner by the speedy Persian Bold. Sarah Georgina was also a half-sister to Danseuse du Soir, a first-rate performer
at up to a mile who numbered the Prix Robert Papin, Poule d’Essai des Poulains and Prix de la Foret amongst his
successes.
Kingston Hill has a pedigree which allows breeders plenty of options. This son of champion 2yo Mastercraftsman has
no
SADLER’S WELLS
blood, no
GREEN DESERT
and his one line to
DANEHILL
will be back in the fourth generation of
his foals’ pedigrees, which allows a second line.
Three of Mastercraftsman’s nine first-crop Group winners are out of mares from the
SADLER’S WELLS
line.
ENTREPRENEUR
sired the dam of The Grey Gatsby,
IN THE WINGS
the dam of Master Carpenter and
SINGSPIEL
the
dam of Victoria Regina. Mastercraftsman has now sired the Gr.2 winner Even Song from a
SADLER’S WELLS
mare.
This is therefore an attractive route with Kingston Hill. A
HIGH CHAPARRAL
mare produced the Prix Morny winner
The Wow Signal to another grandson of Danehill Dancer.
