03/10/2023 Hanseatic / Guessing Gelding AustraliaWe present to you a very well related Hanseatic Gelding out of the Megdalia D'Oro Mare Guessing.
The Street Cry sire line - one that has provided us with such stars as Winx, Pride Of Jenni, Anamoe and Bella Nipotina - continues to thrive in Australia and its member Hanseatic has made a most encouraging start to his stud career.
Victoria's second leading first season sire, the handsome chestnut was one of the best two-year-olds of his year; recording extra smart victories at his first three starts - all in stakes company - before a game Gr.1 Blue Diamond Stakes second... only just beaten by Tagaloa.
Also competitive in good company at three, Hanseatic - who hails from the same family as Black Caviar, Ole Kirk, All Too Hard and Magnus - has some very nice horses in his debut crop.
Such as the lightly raced and promising winners Tiz Worthy and Befuddle (Gr.3 placed at her latest outing) whilst Bermondsey did such a great job finishing third in a Listed Blue Diamond Preview at his first start.
This attractive gelding is the second foal produced by the unraced Guessing whose multiple Gr.1 winning sire Medaglia d'Oro is doing an outstanding job as a broodmare sire with his daughters producing 126 stakes winners including nine Gr.1 horses.
Guessing's first foal is also by Hanseatic; named Trader's Guess, she has been coming along well finishing in the placings at her first two jump-outs.
Guessing's dam Conjecture by Danehill's excellent son Commands is a full sister to the tough and classy campaigner Rain Affair who did such a great job winning 12 of his 40 starts; five of those in Group company.
Also a Listed winner who was four times Group 1 placed, Rain Affair is one of the eight winners (from as many foals to race) for Guessing's grandam I Believe whose son Ranges was also a gutsy galloper; the winner of eight races (two at Listed level) and 22 times placed from 48 starts.
A daughter of the champion Octagonal, the lightly raced but very talented I Believe (four wins from five starts) is a half-sister to the stakes winner Walk Alone and to the grandam of the sadly ill-fated dual Derby winner Riff Rocket.
Stakes winners Wayupinthesky, Deltona, Been There and Vegadaze also hail from this branch of a great local family which has as its ancestress the 1945 Melbourne Cup winner Rainbird who can also count amongst her descendants the big race winners Malaguerra, Allez Wonder, Aloha, Lone Rock, Snitzerland, Tivaci and Cool Aza Beel as well as the classy stallion Centaine.
Hanseatic's first two winners and first two stakes performers are all line-bred to Danehill as is this gelding who is 4 X 4. He also boasts duplications of the outstanding stallions Danzig, Northern Dancer and Damascus and he is bred on highly successful Street Cry/Sadler's Wells combination.
One which has produced 122 stakes winners with its 16 Gr.1 winners including Dubai Honour, Broadsiding, Cascadian, Whobegotyou and Roaring Lion.
There is good background strength to this pedigree, this gelding boasting duplications of the influential mares Black Ray, Sweet Lavender, Lady Josephine, Mumtaz Mahal, Lavendula II, Lalun, Frizette, Mumtaz Begum and Prunella (ancestress of Street Boss, his sire Street Cry and of Medaglia d'Oro's sire El Prado).
We are very excited to have him join the team and He is currently being broken in and is being offered at a price which includes purchase price and breaking in.
