MATING SUGGESTIONS: Starspangledbanner showed great versatility, establishing himself as a top-class performer on two continents, while winning Gr.1 races over 5½, 6 and 8 furlongs. Now he is showing similar versatility as a stallion, with Group winners from 5f to 10½f, and his progeny’s success on the racecourse is being reflected in the sales ring. His versatility is also underlined by the fact that his 39 worldwide Group winners are out of mares by 31 different stallions. The broodmare sires with multiple Group winners by Starspangledbanner include GALILEO , MONTJEU and HIGH CHAPARRAL , so he is clearly succeeding in injecting an element of speed and precocity into mares by sons of SADLER’S WELLS . Starspangledbanner is proving a very effective mate for daughters of GALILEO , with an impressive seven BTWs (15%). Three of his most recent winners are 2YOs of 2025, namely the Gr.1-winning 2YO Precise, Gr.3 winner Suzie Sings and LW Avicenna. Two of Starspangledbanner’s other Group winners at two years, have dams by NEW APPROACH and NATHANIEL . The three GWs out of MONTJEU mares include Rafale Design, a dual Gr.3 winner at up to 12f in 2025. Choisir also had a particularly good record with MONTJEU mares. There are also black-type performers with dams by CAMELOT , HURRICANE RUN (Gr.3 winner Dun Na Sead) and MOTIVATOR . HIGH CHAPARRAL’s trio features Gr.1 winners The Wow Signal and California Spangle. The 2nd dam of Gr.2 winner Breege is also by HIGH CHAPARRAL , whose son SO YOU THINK sired the dam of 2024 Gr.1 Prix Jean Prat winner Puchkine. Starspangledbanner’s multiple Gr.1-winning son State of Rest is out of a mare inbred 3x3 to MR PROSPECTOR , her sire QUIET AMERICAN being a son of FAPPIANO . MR PROSPECTOR line mares have also supplied several of Starspangledbanner’s good 2YOs. The smart Castle Star is another with a dam inbred to MR PROSPECTOR . His dam is by IFFRAAJ , whose son WOOTTON BASSETT sired the dam of another smart 2YO in Gr.2-placed Cheerupsleepyjean. The Gr.3 winner Hermana Estrella is out of a grand-daughter of SPEIGHTSTOWN . ELUSIVE QUALITY , another son of GONE WEST , sired the second dam of Flotus and ELUSIVE QUALITY’s son RAVEN’S PASS sired the dam of the speedy Exxtra. Starspangledbanner’s pedigree and conformation will allow breeders to inbreed to the great DANEHILL . This exceptional stallion will be back in the fourth generation of Starspangledbanner’s foals. Starspangledbanner’s 2025 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf winner Gstaad has a dam by EXCEED AND EXCEL , whereas his Gr.1 American Oaks winner Rhea Moon has a dam by FASTNET ROCK . There are also talented performers out of daughters of DANSILI , BATED BREATH , ZOFFANY , EXCELEBRATION , HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR , CLODOVIL and ORATORIO . ROCK OF GIBRALTAR sired the 2nd dam of Gr.1 winner Puchkine. The Gr.1- placed Great Wide Open, is out of a DANEHILL mare, so is inbred 4x2 and his Gr.2 winner Carla’s Way has a 2nd dam by DANEHILL . There is also plenty of scope with other branches of the DANZIG line, most notably the GREEN DESERT line. His fast daughter Flotus has a dam by INVINCIBLE SPIRIT while Beauty Waves by LAWMAN is a Gr.3 winner in Hong Kong. A son of Starspangledbanner sired the classic-winning Coeursamba from an ANABAA mare. PIVOTAL mares have three GWs -14% - from his 22 foals by Starspangledbanner and it was Pivotal’s son EXCELLENT ART who sired the dam of Gr.2 winner Aloha Star. Mares by KYLLACHY and SIYOUNI are also likely to suit. He also has a Group performer out of a daughter of PEINTRE CELEBRE . Starspangledbanner has an Australian Gr.2 winner with a dam by GIANT’S CAUSEWAY and a Gr.2-placed winner out of a FOOTSTEPSINTHESAND mare. Mares by SHAMARDAL and LOPE DE VEGA should also suit him. Starspangledbanner’s pedigree rules out very few European mares. Descendants of AHONOORA , INDIAN RIDGE and INCHINOR look a sure-fire means of producing smart juveniles and sprinters and it was an INDIAN RIDGE mare which produced the Gr.1 Cheveley Park Stakes winner Millisle. 83
