classic winner, Harbour Law from another.
Lawman sired the Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Just The Judge and her fellow Gr.1 winner Law Enforcement and both
are out of mares by
RAINBOW QUEST
.
SADLER’S WELLS
is also playing his part in the Lawman success story, siring the dams of the Gr.2 winner Libran
and Gr.3 winner Lady Wingshot. There are also black-type performers out of mares by
GALILEO
,
MONTJEU
,
HIGH CHAPARRAL
,
ENTREPRENEUR
and
BEAT HOLLOW
. Mares by
MONTJEU
and his sons merit serious
consideration now that Most Improved’s dam has produced a Gr.1 winner to one of them.
Lawman has only 7 foals out of
MARJU
mares but they include Gr.1 Racing Post Trophy winner Marcel and a
Group-placed winner.
Nijinsky’s sons
CAERLEON
and
ROYAL ACADEMY
both appear among the sires of Lawman’s black-type performers,
as does Caerleon’s son
SUAVE DANCER
. A
ROYAL ACADEMY
mare also produced the durable Group winner Beacon
Lodge to Clodovil, another representative of the Danzig-Linamix cross.
Several of Lawman’s stakes winners have two lines of
DANZIG,
including Most Improved. As there is already a Group
winner with three lines of Danzig in her pedigree, Most Improved isn’t ruled out for mares by sons of Danehill, which
create 4 x 3 to Danehill and 5 x 5 x 4 to Danzig. The same applies to sons of Green Desert.
Lawman has other good winners with two lines to
MILL REEF
or
SHIRLEY HEIGHTS
. Most Improved therefore looked
sure to be suited by
DARSHAAN
blood and this has come to fruition, as his Gr.2 winner Agnes Stewart has a dam by
DALAKHANI
.
Clodovil also did well with
CADEAUX GENEREUX
mares. Most Improved’s first yearlings included a €100,000 colt out
of a
CADEAUX GENEREUX
mare.
Most Improved
wins the
St James’s Palace Stakes-Gr.1
Most Improved was one of the most
talented horses I have trained.
