MATING SUGGESTIONS: Sioux Nation followed No Nay Never as the second son of Scat Daddy to win the Gr.2 Norfolk Stakes and then went on to win the Gr.1 Phoenix Stakes. Sioux Nation has made a very solid start, as is indicated by the fact that his 2025 sales yearlings, sired at a fee of €17,500, sold for such good prices as 525,000gns and 475,000gns. His first crop, sired at €12,500, has produced eight Group winners. DANZIG is back in the fifth generation of Sioux Nation’s foals. This allows him to be mated to grand-daughters of DANEHILL . Sioux Nation’s demoted classic winner Shes Perfect has a 2nd dam by DANEHILL , while his Australian Gr.1 winner Socks Nation is out of a mare by DANEHILL ’s son COMMANDS . He also has Gr.3-winning sons out of daughters of DANEHILL DANCER , DANSILI , EXCEED AND EXCEL and HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR . HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR is also the broodmare sire of Caravaggio’s top-class daughter Porta Fortuna. Sioux Nation also has a Group-placed colt with a dam by KODIAC , as well as a Gr.3 winner out of a grand-daughter of DANEHILL DANCER . He should suit daughters of STARSPANGLEDBANNER . Grand-daughters of DANEHILL have also been working well with No Nay Never. The DANEHILL stallions included EXCEED AND EXCEL (Ten Sovereigns), FASTNET ROCK (True Love) and ROCK OF GIBRALTAR (Gr.2 scorer Land Force). No Nay Never’s top daughter Alcohol Free is out of a grand-daughter of Danzig, by HARD SPUN , who also sired the dams of Sioux Nation’s Group-placed daughters Kinta and Origami. Inbreeding to the influential GREEN DESERT is already playing its part in Sioux Nation’s success. The Group- winning fillies Sydneyarms Chelsea and Ocean Quest are both inbred 3x3 to OASIS DREAM . Another speedy daughter, Ocean Jewel, is inbred 4x2 to GREEN DESERT and the talented American miler Behind Enemy Lines is inbred 4x3, his dam being by INVINCIBLE SPIRIT . The Gr.2-placed Gunzburg has a dam by SHOWCASING , so is another inbred 3x3 to OASIS DREAM . Mares by MUHAARAR ought to suit. No Nay Never is another son of Scat Daddy doing well with OASIS DREAM blood. He 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. No Nay Never’s dual Gr.1 2YO 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. Fast horses from the NUREYEV line could suit. Sioux Nation sired the exciting 2025 2YO Zanthos from a PIVOTAL mare, and Caravaggio sired his first Gr.1 winner from another. PIVOTAL also sired the 2nd dam of No Nay Never’s talented 2YOs Blackbeard and Charles Darwin. Mares by SIYOUNI are worth trying. Mares by FOOTSTEPSINTHESAND , SHAMARDAL and LOPE DE VEGA could all reinforce Sioux Nation’s juvenile ability. His classic-placed daughter Matilda Picotte has a dam by ONE COOL CAT . MR PROSPECTOR is back in the fourth generation of Sioux Nation’s foals. Another line could be added by sending him daughters of RAVEN’S PASS , IFFRAAJ , TAMAYUZ and DUTCH ART . He has already sired Group/Graded winner from daughters of TAMAYUZ and ELUSIVE QUALITY . Other sons of Scat Daddy have sired the fast performers Ramatuelle and Tiber Flow from RAVEN’S PASS mares and two sons have Graded winners out of mares by QUALITY ROAD , another son of ELUSIVE QUALITY . Sioux Nation is worth trying with mares by leading middle-distance performers, such as MONTJEU , HIGH CHAPARRAL and GALILEO . His demoted classic winner Shes Perfect has a dam by GALILEO , while his Gr.2 winner Sioux Life has a dam by RIP VAN WINKLE . Others out of grand-daughters of GALILEO include the fast Shagraan (dam by FINSCEAL FIOR ) and Group-placed 2YO Stop The Nation (dam by GLENEAGLES ). Mares by HIGH CHAPARRAL have produced three Group winners (11%) to No Nay Never, and Sioux Nation already has two black-type performers out of them. Justify has numerous Group performers with dams by GALILEO , including the top-class City of Troy and his fellow classic winner Scandinavia. The Gr.3 winner Lakota Sioux is Sioux Nation’s first runner out of a DALAKHANI mare and DARSHAAN sired the 2nd dam of Gr.3 winner Ocean Jewel. The quick-maturing ROYAL APPLAUSE line, including his son ACCLAMATION and grandsons MEHMAS and DARK ANGEL , help Sioux Nation sire speedy 2YOs, such as his 2023 Gr.3 winner Letsbefrankaboutit.
