FIRST YEARLINGS

Frankel's half-brother Morpheus

5/8/2017

 
Picture
MORPHEUS (GB) - 2010 bay horse
Well-beaten on soft ground on his only outing as a two-year-old, Morpheus won three of his seven starts at three and this capable miler, who was rated 98 by Timeform, was fourth in the Haafhd Handicap (Silver Cambridgeshire) over nine furlongs at Newmarket on his final run. 

That might not sound like the sort of racing record that would secure a colt a place at a leading flat stud farm and that would bring him 142 mares in his first season, but this son of Oasis Dream (by Green Desert) is a half-brother to the undefeated Timeform 147-rated superstar Frankel (by Galileo) and that relationship is what has been his major selling point.

His first foals made up to €46,000.

Frankel, of course, was a leading freshman sire in 2016 and his first three-year-olds include a double-digit tally of pattern winners, headed by Japanese champion and classic heroine Soul Stirring. The Banstead Manor Stud celebrity has made an exciting start as a stallion.

Their multiple Group 1-winning sibling Noble Mission (by Galileo), who stands at Lane's End Farm in Kentucky, has his first yearlings now, and half-brother Bullet Train (by Sadler's Wells), who stands at Crestwood Farm in Kentucky, got a stakes winner among his first juveniles in 2016.

None of this guarantees that Morpheus will hit the jackpot, of course, even though a growing number of sons of Oasis Dream are siring stakes winners, but he has received plenty of support, he is at a stud that has a well-established track record of turning non-stakes winning stallions into notably successful sires, and there is every reason to hope that he can be their next success story.

Being inbred 3x3 to Danzig (by Northern Dancer) may increase his chance of getting sprinters and talented two-year-olds, although many of his better first-crop juvenile winners may come from the more precociously bred and raced mares, and those with a track record of producing two-year-old winners.

It is possible, however, given his racing and pedigree profile, that his best long-term results will come with milers and even 10-furlong horses aged three and upwards, although, again with the right mares, he has prospects of getting some high-class sprinters too. He looks a likely candidate to get some stakes and pattern winners.

MORPHEUS (GB) – b.2010 – Oasis Dream – Kind, 3 wins. Sire in Ireland. First foals in 2016.
