Magic Crosses - Part 1 |

Art OfficialArt Official is standing his first southern hemisphere season at Stallion Station. He has the pedigree and credentials that make him a potential Superstar at stud. Both his sire Art Major and damsire Falcon Seelster cross with a wide range of mares. Clearly the most impressive, and best value alternative to Art Major in the Southern Hemisphere.
He is the only horse ever to beat the champion Somebeachsomewhere, winning the Meadowlands Pace at 3 in a World Record 1:47. Some of the crosses that have been successful:
Falcon Seelster has been a great outcross with the blood of Albatross. This cross has produced The Falcon Strike (ex B G’s Bunny mare by Albatross), Most Happy Fella (Elsu ex New York Motoring mare by Most Happy Fella) and Cam Fella (Attorney General ex Camluck mare by Cam Fella). He has crossed well back with the Adios line of Abercrombie. Maltese Artist and Artesian are both by the Artsplace stallion Artiscape out of a Falcon Seelster mare. Mister BigMister Big combines the blood of Grinfromeatoear and the outstanding broodmare World’s Sweetheart by Jate Lobell. Both Grinfromeatoear and Jate Lobell have an extremely strong nick with the blood of the Golden Miss family.
Top flight performers boasting this cross include:
Other successful sires with Golden Miss blood include Rustler Hanover, Red River Hanover, Richess Hanover, Mystical Prince, America’s Pastime and J R Mint. Jate Lobell has been a top sire and damsire who has crossed successfully with a wide range of bloodlines including Abercrombie, Albatross, Most Happy Fella, Cam Fella, Direct Scooter and Walton Hanover. Courage Under FireCourage Under Fire is a member of the Direct Scooter sireline (via In The Pocket) and crosses with a wide range of mares. His recent Group 1 winners include:
Another emerging potent cross is that with Falcon Seelster mares with Franco Jamar, Penbrook Benny and Talk To Me Courage. Courage Under Fire has matched his greatness as a racehorse in the siring barn. Attorney GeneralAttorney General like his sire Falcon Seelster offers breeders a great opportunity for an outcross to Abercrombie and Direct Scooter line mares.
Attorney General himself is a genetic Powerhouse carrying multiple doses of the genetically influential broodmares Spinster, Roya McKinney, Helen Hanover, Rose Scott, Adioo Volo and Jane Revere. |

He also has a high number of Siblings in his pedigree including Adios & Adieu; Ensign Hanover & Norette Hanover; Alma Lee & Jane Reynolds; Peter Volo & Volga; Queenly McKinney & Roya McKinney; La Roya & Rose Scott; Lady Scotland & The Old Maid. Pacific FellaPacific Fella has been very successful both in North America and Australasia. He has been such a consistent performer over such a long period of time and has sired two Breeders Crown winners in Artistic Fella and No Pan Intended.
Riverboat KingRiverboat King is a top percentage sire, his daughter Anndrovette being the fastest 3yo filly in North America this season on a half-mile track and one of a crop of only 19 foals.
Riverboat King has crossed with a wide range of damsire lines: Albatross-Pop Z Pop (Keystone Sanford) p3, 1:50, $292,000; Riverboat Star (Vanston Hanover) 1:54.8, 19 wins one of Aust. rising stars, & Riverboat Rosie (Vance Hanover) Queensland Oaks (Safin was 3rd) Direct Scooter - La Diavla (Matt’s Scooter) 1:51.8, $328,000 Big Towner- Anndrovette p3, 1:52.6 $209,000 Jate Lobell-Rohan Home (Safely Kept) 1:54.7 former Australasian 3yo record holder Meadow Skipper – Riverboat Royce (Windshield Wiper) 9 NZ wins Safin (1:55.3) Harness Racing Jewels 3yo winner is by Genghis Khan, a Meadow Skipper sire out of an Albatross line mare. Royal MattjestyMatt's Scooter nicks extremely well with any blood tracing to Spinster. Royal Mattjesty as a result would suit mares with the blood of: Falcon Seelster, Albatross, Light Brigade, Miles McCool, Clever Innocence, Presidential Ball, Bachelor Hanover, French Chef, Safely Kept, Pacific Fella, Present Laughter and Rashad.
As with Mach Three, we would expect Royal Mattjesty to cross well with the blood of Albatross and Cam Fella. Examples include;
A further consideration for Royal Mattjesty is a crossing back to his own family through Stallions with Sandy's Sable (by Race Time) in their pedigree: Parson's Den, Lotsa Clout, Island Glow and Big Tom. |
