FIRST YEARLINGS

Data Link is a Grade 1 winning son of War Front

11/9/2016

DATA LINK (USA) - 2008 bay horse
Claiborne Farm stallion War Front (by Danzig) has established himself as a major sire in North America and in Europe and he is joined at that famous Kentucky base by his Grade 1-winning son Data Link. Having covered 121 mares in his first season and 122 in his second, this popular horse will not be short of representatives.

His stakes-winning dam Database (by Known Fact) won six times from three to five years of age and his stakes-placed sibling Wiki (by Arch) got eight wins at four and five. His dam's dual stakes-winning full-sister Vespers won six times from three to six years of age, getting her listed wins at eight and nine furlongs, and that mare's star son also showed his best later in life.
Hymn Book (by Arch), whose career earnings fell just marginally short of the $1 million mark, won eight of his 26 starts, he was a Grade 1-placed dual stakes winner at five, took the Grade 1 Donn Handicap over nine furlongs at Gulfstream Park at six and was multiple Grade 2-placed at seven.
 
Third dam Songlines (by Diesis), a multiple stakes winner who was placed in the Grade 2 Diana Handicap and Grade 2 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup Stakes, did all of her winning from three to five, and her high-class sprinting half-brother Binalong (by Known Fact), a Grade 2-placed multiple stakes winner, won eight times from two to five years of age.
 
Their sibling Badawi (by Diesis) was a stakes-placed sprinter in England and it is she who has provided the most notable two-year-old in the family. The lightly-raced Badminton (by Zieten) won the Listed October Stakes over seven furlongs as a three-year-old, but at two she was runner-up in the Group 2 Lowther Stakes at York and finished third in the Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket, both races won by Carry On Katie.
 
It seems likely that quite a few of Data Link's progeny will find their way to Europe, given how popular his sire is here, but although War Front is often associated with top juveniles, this stallion won just one of his four starts at that age, three from four at three, and his blacktype form came at four and five. This does not mean that he will fail to get some talented two-year-olds, but it may suggest that his progeny will be less precocious than those of his own sire.

DATA LINK (USA) – b.2008 – War Front – Database, 8 wins inc ​Maker's 46 Mile Stakes (Gr1), Citation Handicap (Gr2), Monmouth Stakes (Gr2), Canadian Turf Stakes (Gr3), 2nd Maker's 46 Mile Stakes (Gr1), Bernard Baruch Handicap (Gr2), 3rd Canadian Turf Stakes (Gr3). Sire in USA. First foals in 2015.
