Vancouver
Vancouver, an undefeated Champion 2YO. The highpoint being the Group 1 Golden Slipper. He drew the outside barrier, was wide all of the way and hit the line better than anything. Simply a superstar racehorse. He has a big pedigree being a half to Just Momente (SAJC Robert Sangster S. Gr. 1). His grand-dam is the dual Gr. 1 winner Skating. At stud, he is the sire of 12 stakes-winners inc. Overpass (10 wins and $10,317,500 inc. WATC Winterbottom S. Gr. 1 [twice]).
Physically Vancouver is very Medaglia d’ Oro-like. He loves Danehill line mares. Here are some examples:-
Overpass (Vancouver-Walkway by Exceed And Excel). 10 wins and $10,317,500 inc. WATC Winterbottom S. Gr. 1 (twice).
Mount Pleasant (Vancouver-Life In A Metro by Fastnet Rock). 4 wins inc. Turffontein Johannesburg Spring Challenge Gr. 2.
Yaletown (Vancouver-Mananne by Darci Brahma). 2 wins inc. ATC Tulloch S. Gr. 2.
All of the above are out of mares by sons of Danehill.
Danehill line daughters of Exceed And Excel, Excellebration, Fastnet Rock, Foxwedge, Magnus, Reward For Effort, Rebel Dane, Russian Revolution and Smart Missile would be ideal for Vancouver.
There have been 7 stakes-winners bred with Mr. Prospector in their female pedigree. Here are some:-
Overpass (Vancouver-Walkway by Exceed And Excel). 10 wins and $10,317,500 inc. WATC Winterbottom S. Gr. 1 (twice). His grand-dam by Bellotto by Mr. Prospector.
Madone (Vancouver-Indian Love Call). Grand-dam by Kingmambo by Mr. Prospector). 5 wins inc. Del Mar San Clemente S. Gr. 2.
Battle Bling (Vancouver-Soleil Rouge by E Dubai by Mr. Prospector). 6 wins inc. Aqueduct Turnback The Alarm H. Gr. 3.
He’spuregold (Vancouver-Smart n Classy by Smart Strike by Mr. Prospector). 9 wins inc. Monmouth Park Charles Hesse H. L.
Canadian Dancer (Vancouver-Kicker. Grand-dam by Mr. Prospector). 5 wins inc. BRC Princess S. L.
Daughters of American Pharoah, Blue Point, Denman, Frosted, Gold Standard, Hallowed Crown, Impending, Pride Of Dubai, Puissance de Lune, Russian Revolution, Shalaa, Street Boss and Street Cry would suit.
The Vancouver / Snippets cross is very interesting, especially through his son Pins. Here are some examples:-
Vangelic (Vancouver-Angel Bee by Pins). 2 wins inc. ATC Golden Pendant Gr. 2.
Night Rain (Vancouver-Raid by Pins). 3 wins inc. MVRC Atlantic Jewel S. L.
Illicit Dreams (Vancouver-Illicit Romance by Snitzel).
Ideally mares by a Danehill line stallion with Snippets in the female family are perfect like All Too Hard, Merchant Navy, Magnus, Russian Revolution, Snitzel, Stratum, Wandjina. Obviously Pins and maybe even our very own Rich Enuff.
