 CITYSCAPE (GB) - 2006 chestnut horse A son of the top-class miler and long-time Lanwades Stud stallion Selkirk (by Sharpen Up), who sired 96 stakes winners, Cityscape was a pattern-placed winner at two, pattern-placed again at three, and a leading international performer as an older horse. He is based at Overbury Stud, has 56 known progeny in his first crop, and is arguably the best-placed of all of his sire's sons to have a chance of making it as a stallion, prospects that are greatly enhanced by the strong distaff side of his pedigree. He is out of the pattern-placed dual stakes winner Tantina (by Distant View) and that makes him a half-brother to multiple Group 1-placed Group 2-winning sprinter and Banstead Manor Stud stallion Bated Breath (by Dansili), a freshman who is getting a lot of winners in 2016. Their stakes-placed half-sister Scuffle (by Daylami) is the dam of the pattern-placed US stakes winner Suffused (by Champs Elysees), their grandam is the Grade 1-placed Grade 2 Dahlia Handicap scorer Didina (by Nashwan), and their third dam is Didicoy (by Danzig), a pattern-placed half-sister to juvenile champion and successful sire Xaar (by Zafonic). This is a branch of the family whose stallions include El Gran Senor (by Northern Dancer), Try My Best (by Northern Dancer), Redoute's Choice (by Danehill) and many others who got at least one Group 1 winner at stud, and although those horses are remotely related to Cityscape, it is his combination of race record and kinship to Bated Breath that makes him interesting.
