MATING SUGGESTIONS: In years to come we are sure to see Camille Pissarro’s sire Wootton Bassett regarded as one of those very rare beasts – a breed-shaper. This champion 2YO’s astonishing results as an inexpensive stallion in France earned him a transfer to Coolmore and with only two Coolmore crops of racing age, he is set to become champion sire of 2YOs in Britain and Ireland for the second successive year, as well as champion sire of all ages in Europe. Versatility has also been one of the hallmarks of Wootton Bassett’s career with Group 1 winners over distance from 5f to 1m4f. As a winner from 6f to 10½f, Camille Pissarro can also be expected to sire a wide range of winners. Wootton Bassett’s acquisition by Coolmore was partly motivated by his suitability for GALILEO mares. Many of his best representatives in 2024 and 2025 are out of GALILEO’s daughters. From his first 87 starters, ten have already become BTWs, headed by Gr.1 winners Hawk Mountain, Maranoa Charlie, Puerto Rico, Whirl and Al Riffa. Mares by Galileo produce 4x3 to SADLER’S WELLS . Sons of Galileo move the inbreeding back to 4x4. Wootton Bassett has already sired GWs from daughters of NATHANIEL , FRANKEL and AUSTRALIA and injects more precocity into mares by the likes of MONTJEU , broodmare sire of the 2YO Gr.1 winner Twain. Leaving Galileo’s 10 BTWs out of the figures, Wootton Bassett owes his tally of more than 60 northern- hemisphere-sired BTWs to 50 different broodmare sires. Wootton Bassett sired a pair of Gr.2 winners from his first 8 starters out of GIANT’S CAUSEWAY mares. There is also a Gr.3 Australian winner from only 7 starters out of daughters of SHAMARDAL and his first starter out of a LOPE DE VEGA mare is the LW Gala Real. Mares by SHAMARDAL and LOPE DE VEGA are likely to do well with Camille Pissarro. Wootton Bassett’s first five foals out of SCAT DADDY mares included the Gr.3 2YO winner Ides of March. Daughters of NO NAY NEVER , CARAVAGGIO and SIOUX NATION look certain to help Camille Pissarro pass on his considerable 2YO talent. Mares by ELUSIVE CITY , a Gr.1-winning son of ELUSIVE QUALITY , did particularly well with Wootton Bassett. This suggests that mares by RAVEN’S PASS , another son of Elusive Quality, are well worth trying. Inbreeding to GONE WEST paid some significant dividends with Wootton Bassett, with Wooded, Bucanero Fuerte, Chindit, The Black Album, Grey Man, Trident and Wootton City all having two lines. Other MR PROSPECTOR line stallions whose daughters should suit Camille Pissarro include DUBAWI . Wootton Bassett had eight winners from ten starters out of DUBAWI mares, including Listed winner Hellenistique. Wootton Bassett had talented winners from mares by KINGMAMBO and KING’S BEST . Camille Pissarro has plenty of options from the DANZIG line. Wootton Bassett had two Gr.3 winners, including unbeaten 2025 2YO Albert Einstein, from his first 13 starters out of daughters of WAR FRONT . The first 12 starters out of SEA THE STARS mares were headed by Gr.1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf winner Unquestionable and Gr.2 winner Carmers. OASIS DREAM sired the dams of Gr.2 winner Chindit and Gr.1-placed Dash Dizzy, while Wootton Bassett sired the Gr.2 Coventry Stakes winner River Tiber from a grand-daughter of OASIS DREAM , by ARCANO . Wootton Bassett’s Gr.2 2YO winner Beautify is one of several BT performers out of DANSILI mares. His 2023 2YO Gr.3 winner Zabiari had a dam by DUKE OF MARMALADE . His Gr.1-placed Listed winner Apples And Bananas has a dam by MASTERCRAFTSMAN . Mares with SHIRLEY HEIGHTS blood suit Wootton Bassett. His Gr.1 winner Al Riffa has a 2nd dam by DARSHAAN , while Gr.2 winner Royal Patronage is out of a grand-daughter of DARSHAAN , by DALAKHANI . The first nine foals out of VERGLAS mares included the top-class King of Steel, the Gr.3 winning stayer Presage Nocturne and Listed winner Dream Works. Wootton Bassett’s first 4 foals out of ROYAL APPLAUSE mares include Gr.2-placed Mamba Noire and 108- rated English Oak, and ROYAL APPLAUSE also sired the 2nd dam of Gr.2 winner Green Impact. This puts daughters of ACCLAMATION , DARK ANGEL and MEHMAS into the picture. 23
