FIRST YEARLINGS

Lethal Force a Group 1 sprint star by Dark Angel

22/8/2016

 
Picture
LETHAL FORCE (IRE) - 2009 grey horse
The emergence of Dark Angel (by Acclamation) as a major European sire was something of a surprise given his lack of three-year-old form and his somewhat thin distaff line, but he repeatedly delivers the goods, his profile continues to rise, and he has a growing number of talented sons who are proving very popular with breeders.

Lethal Force is among the first of them and the dual Group 1 sprint star, a Cheveley Park Stud team member, has 99 known individuals in his first crop. He was the champion older sprinter in Europe in 2013, a Group 2 scorer over seven furlongs at the age of three, and although there are no wins on his two-year-old record, it would be a mistake to think that he did not show talent or precocity at that age.

He was runner-up over five furlongs at Ascot on his debut in early May, was short-headed but relegated to third over a further farther at Goodwood three weeks later, and then finished fourth in both the Group 2 Coventry Stakes and Group 2 Vintage Stakes, the latter over seven furlongs.

He skated in by nine lengths at Bath on his first start at three, was a neck runner-up to Swiss Spirit in a listed contest at Newbury a few weeks later, then finished third behind Slade Power in the Listed Sandy Lane Stakes, fourth behind Ishvana in the Group 3 Jersey Stakes, and later beat Strong Suit by a neck in the Group 2 Hungerford Stakes.

The horse he beat in both the Group 1 Diamond Jubilee Stakes and Group 1 July Cup at four was Society Rock, the colt who had beaten him by a head in the Group 2 Duke of York Stakes earlier that year, and it was the brilliant Moonlight Cloud whom he chased home in the Group 1 Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville that August.
Lethal Force is out of Land Army (by Desert Style), who is an unraced full-sister to Ascot Family, the stakes-winning dam of Group 2 Prix Robert Papin winner and Group 1 Prix Morny runner-up Family One (by Dubai Destination).

Their half-sister Flanders (by Common Grounds), who won the Listed Scarborough Stakes and was runner-up in the Group 2 King's Stand Stakes, is the dam of Group 1 Sprint Cup star G Force (by Tamayuz) and of Louvain (by Sinndar), who is, in turn, the Grade 2-winning dam of champion and classic star Flotilla (by Mizzen Mast).

There is a mile pattern scorer and the Group 1-placed middle-distance listed scorer, Gain (by Mississipian), under the fourth dam, the talented and prolific Miss Ribot (by Sir Ribot), but it is the first two generations of the family where all of the speed is evident.

It is reasonable to presume that some of the Lethal Force runners will be talented juveniles and that, as time passes, his best will tend to be sprinters and/or milers.

LETHAL FORCE (IRE) – gr.2009 – Dark Angel – Land Army, 4 wins inc July Cup (Gr1), Diamond Jubilee Stakes (Gr1), Hungerford Stakes (Gr2), 2nd Prix Maurice de Gheest (Gr1), Duke of York Stakes (Gr2), Carnarvon Stakes (L), 3rd Park Stakes (Gr2), Sandy Lane Stakes (L). Sire in England. First foals in 2015.
