FIRST YEARLINGS

Reliable Man a classic winner from a classic family

RELIABLE MAN (GB) - 2008 grey horse
A classic winner who was unraced at two and a Group 1 winner over 10 furlongs in Australia at the age of five, Reliable Man is one of eight top-level scorers by the recently retired Dalakhani (by Darshaan) and he stands at Gestut Rottgen in Germany.

His blacktype-winning siblings include the Group 1-placed dual pattern scorer Imposing (by Danehill Dancer) and his stakes-winning dam On Fair Stage (by Sadler's Wells) is out of the dual classic star Fair Salinia (by Petingo).

She won both the Oaks and Irish Oaks in 1978, she also won the Group 1 Yorkshire Oaks, was runner-up in the Group 1 1000 Guineas and in the Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes, and her progeny also included the Group 3 Prix Quincey scorer Perfect Vintage (by Shirley Heights) and the talented filly Perfect Circle (by Caerleon). The latter won the Listed Sceptre Stakes and was runner-up in both the Group 3 Musidora Stakes and Group 3 Nell Gwyn Stakes.

Fair Salinia, a daughter of the dual winner Fair Arabella (by Chateaugay), was also responsible for the Grade 2 Red Smith Handicap scorer Rambo Dancer (by Northern Dancer), who enjoyed some success as a stallion in England and in South Africa, and her siblings also include two fillies who got a notable result at stud.
Forli's Flair (by Thatch) was the dam of top French juvenile filly Wixon (by Fioravanti), who won the Group 3 Prix du Petit Couvert and was runner-up in the Group 2 Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte, and Princess Arabella (by Crowned Prince) came up with the listed scorer Nordica (by Northfields).

That filly, in turn, became the dam of Sueboog (by Darshaan), the Group 3 Fred Darling Stakes winner and Group 2 Nassau Stakes third whose star son, Best Of The Bests (by Machiavellian), won the Group 1 Prix d'Ispahan and was placed in a string of other Group 1 events.

Shaanmer (by Darshaan), another of Nordica's grandsons, won the Group 3 Prix des Chenes and was placed in races such as the Group 1 Grand Prix de Paris and Group 1 Prix Jean Prat.

If you go back another generation then you will find that Fair Arabella, the third dam of Reliable Man, was a half-sister to Faraway Son (by Ambiopoise), who won the Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte at two, was placed in the Poule d'Essai des Poulains (French 2000 Guineas) at three, and won both the Group 1 Prix du Moulin de Longchamp and Group 1 Prix de la Foret at four.

He was later a successful sire whose progeny include the multiple Grade 1 star Waya, juvenile Grade 1 scorer Officer's Ball, and high-class sprinter Boitron, among others of note. The best progeny of his pattern-winning half-brother Liloy (by Bold Bidder) included the dual Grade 1 star Reloy and Group 1 Grand Prix de Paris scorer Swink.

Their unraced half-sister also did her part for the family as she became the dam of the Group 1 Prix Ganay and Group 1 Prix d'Ispahan winner Baillamont (by Blushing Groom), and he too sired blacktype winners at stud, including the dual Group 1-winning filly Sierra Madre.

Those three stallions are remotely connected to Reliable Man, but their presence in the family, along with that of Rambo Dancer, show that this is a family that has a proven record of being able to produce colts who can go on to sire winners at all levels.
