MATING SUGGESTIONS: The much-missed Scat Daddy sired a string of important European 2YO winners and the first of them – the 2013 Norfolk S. and Prix Morny winner No Nay Never – has stepped into his shoes. No Nay Never proved the outstanding 2YO sire of 2022, with a magnificent team of six Group winners, headed by Gr.1 scorers Little Big Bear and Blackbeard. He proved similarly dominant in 2023, with an unequalled total of eight 2YO BTWs, featuring five Group winners, and he again ranked among the top sires of 2YOs in 2024, with four Group winners among his eight BTWs. It has been a similar story in 2025, with five Group/Graded stakes winners. Chief among them were True Love, who added the Cheveley Park Stakes to her victory in the Gr.2 Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot. It was also at Royal Ascot that the exciting Charles Darwin emulated his sire’s success in the Gr.2 Norfolk Stakes. The exploits of such as Alcohol Free, Ten Sovereigns and Never So Brave prove that No Nay Never’s stock can also shine after the age of two. No Nay Never owes much of his success to mares from the DANZIG line, with the GREEN DESERT branch playing a major part. His dual Gr.1 winner Blackbeard and Blackbeard’s exciting brother Charles Darwin are out of a mare by BORN TO SEA , a son of INVINCIBLE SPIRIT , who in turn sired the dam of Gr.2 winner Trillium. No Nay Never has an impressive 21% BTWs from 24 foals out of mares by OASIS DREAM , including Gr.1 7f winner Never So Brave and Gr.2 2YO winners Array and Les Pavots. OASIS DREAM is also the broodmare sire of Sioux Nation, a Gr.1-winning 2YO by Scat Daddy. Another of No Nay Never’s Gr.2 winners, Aesop’s Fable, has a dam by another son of GREEN DESERT . His multiple Gr.1-winning filly Alcohol Free is out of a grand-daughter of Danzig, by HARD SPUN . He is also working very well with mares by sons of DANEHILL , including FASTNET ROCK , EXCEED AND EXCEL , ROCK OF GIBRALTAR , HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR , KODIAC (2YO LW The Fixer) and DANSILI (the speedy Cherry Blossom). There is also the 2025 2YO Gr.3 winner Mission Central, out of a ZOFFANY mare. STARSPANGLEDBANNER sired the dam of No Nay Never’s 1,700,000gns yearling in 2025. Caravaggio, another son of Scat Daddy, sired his first Gr.1 winner from a PIVOTAL mare, while Sioux Nation sired the exciting 2025 2YO Zanthos from another. No Nay Never has LWs out of daughters of PIVOTAL and PEINTRE CELEBRE . NUREYEV ’s son THEATRICAL sired the 2nd dam of his Gr.1 winner Ten Sovereigns, while PIVOTAL filled the same position in the pedigree of Blackbeard and Charles Darwin. Mares by SIYOUNI , with his dam by DANEHILL , could be especially suitable. The first two runners bred this way are winners. No Nay Never’s Gr.2-winners Shadn and Visualisation have dams by SADLER’S WELLS , who also sired the dam of Justify’s Gr.1-winning daughter Opera Singer. No Nay Never also has Henry Adams and Midnight Mile, both Gr.3 winners at two, and three 2YO Listed winners among his runners out of GALILEO mares. Justify has numerous Group performers out of GALILEO mares, including classic winners City of Troy and Scandinavia. No Nay Never’s first few runners out of FRANKEL mares include 2YO LW Apollo Fountain. TEOFILO , another stallion bred on the Galileo/Danehill cross, is the broodmare sire of Caravaggio’s Gr.2 winner Maljoom. Mares by HIGH CHAPARRAL have produced three Group winners (11%) to No Nay Never along with 2,000 Guineas winner Ruling Court to Justify. EL PRADO sired the dam of Gr.2 winner Lake Forest. GIANT’S CAUSEWAY sired the 2nd dam of the top 2YO filly True Love and her sister Truly Enchanting. No Nay Never should suit mares by FOOTSTEPSINTHESAND , SHAMARDAL , LOPE DE VEGA and BLUE POINT . The SHIRLEY HEIGHTS male line quickly made its mark with No Nay Never. The smart siblings Wichita and Bubbling have a dam by DASHING BLADE , while the Group winning 2YOs Meditate and Midnight Mile respectively have a dam by DALAKHANI and a 2nd dam by DARSHAAN . Expect to see No Nay Never make his mark with mares from the quick-maturing ROYAL APPLAUSE line. His very useful sprinter Royal Commando has a dam by ACCLAMATION , while ROYAL APPLAUSE sired the 2nd dam of Gr.2 winner Trillium. Daughters of DARK ANGEL , MEHMAS and EQUIANO would also suit.
