Horse of the Year & Champion Classic 3 y\/o in 2003.<\/P>

Career record: 12 runs, 9 wins (4 x GR1, 3 x GR2), 2 seconds (GR1, GR2), 1 third (GR1)<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Considered the best racehorse in South Africa<\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region> since Horse Chestnut, Dynasty was retired to stud in 2005 following an injury which resulted in his 3rd<\/SUP> place finish at his last start. His GR1 wins ranged from 8 to 11 furlongs. Winning the 2003 Durban<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> July with ease on a tight track from the widest draw at 20 was the pinnacle of a sparkling career that saw him earn R2.1 million in stakes. As a yearling, he was sold for R475 000, the third highest price of his crop. He stands at Highlands Farm, economically priced at R20000, approximately 22nd<\/SUP> highest price in the country. This strategy worked well with another champion, Jet Master, and should see him get a big, quality book of mares.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Dynasty is a son of Fort<\/st1:PlaceType> Wood<\/st1:PlaceName><\/st1:place> (Sadler\u2019s Wells), sire of champions and champion sire. Fort<\/st1:PlaceType> Wood<\/st1:PlaceName><\/st1:place> is also the only sire in SAF history to produce three 3 y\/o Horse of the Year winners, and that from only 7 crops to race as 3 year olds. Dynasty\u2019s dam, Blakes Affair (Commodore Blake) is from the direct female line of influential sires: Turn-To, Irish<\/st1:PlaceName> River<\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place>, My Babu, Joy II, Sayani, Ambiorix. <\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Using the 2005 Breeders Handbook suitable mares list as a guide, I suggest looking for the following names when preparing to breed:<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Graustark (son of the mare Flower Bowl who has shown an affinity with Swaps, present in the damline of Fort<\/st1:PlaceType> Wood<\/st1:PlaceName><\/st1:place>)<\/P>

Nureyev (son of Special, grandam of Sadler\u2019s Wells, sire of Fort<\/st1:PlaceType> Wood<\/st1:PlaceName><\/st1:place>)<\/P>

Hail To Reason, Sir Gaylord, Roberto (sons and grandsons of Turn-To)<\/P>

Best Turn (by Turn-To out of a Swaps mare)<\/P>

Gone West and Blushing Groom (Tudor Minstrel line)<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Many of these are a bit on the old side to work in a mating with Dynasty, so look for sons and grandsons that introduce these influences in a combination that works for you. Options are plentiful, both for bargain breds and more expensive lines.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

This is Dynasty\u2019s first season as a sire in the sim with no foals to race yet, but since he began duties during 2005 here in the Southern Hemisphere, he is available to breed both 2 and 3 year olds. At 16 points on Saturday morning for a Horse of the Year and Champion Three Year Old, he must be considered a fantastic bargain.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
