1:50.8 - $896,060. Bay Horse, Foaled 2006, 16 Hands.
We are all chasing that sensational 2yo - why not start with a stallion that was an exceptional 2yo himself?
Major In Art possessed exceptional 2yo ability taking out the Woodrow Wilson very early in the season before going on to win the the World's richest 2yo race - the $1 million Metro Pace.
It was these two performances that earned him the USTA 2yo of the Year award.
Major In Art is Art Major's fastest 2yo son at stud and comes from the famed The Old Maid maternal family.
- USTA 2yo of the Year
- Winner of the worlds richest 2yo race - the Metro Pace
- By leading stallion Art Major from the famed The Old Maid maternal family.
- Possesses great sire's down his maternal line - Jate Lobell, Big Towner, Tar Heel, Adios, etc.
In the Southern Hemisphere Major In Art's oldest progeny will be yearlings in 2011/2.
In the Northern Hemisphere Major In Art's oldest progeny are foals in 2011.
With Major In Art it is important to look at what is working for his super sire Art Major.
Art Major is crossing very well with mares by
No Nukes and
Cam Fella line stallions and thus such mares should be considered for Major In Art.
Five of Art Major's top nine performers out of No Nukes line mares -
Sushi Sushi,
Major Mark,
Renaissance Man,
Stunin Girl and
Sheezallattitude.
Potential No Nukes line stallions include
Safely Kept, Village Jasper,
Live Or Die,
Caprock,
Badlands Hanover,
Ticket To Heaven,
Barnett Hanover,
Union Guy,
Kinney Hanover,
Northern Lights, etc.
A No Nukes line mare would be interesting as Major In Art is out of a Jate Lobell mare, so the resultant foal will carry a duplication of No Nukes. Now if the mare is by a Jate Lobell stallion (eg
Safely Kept,
Village Jasper, etc) then the foal will carry a 3 x 3 cross to Jate Lobell.
While four of Art Major's top fifteen earners are out of Cam Fella line mares including two out of
Fake Left mares (
For A Reason &
Major Bronski) and two out of
Armbro Operative mares (
Art Shadow &
Its My Pleasure)
Cam Fella line stallions include
Fake Left,
Armbro Operative,
Bettors Delight,
Presidential Ball,
Precious Bunny,
Pacific Fella,
Camtastic,
Cameleon,
Brioso Hanover,
Exotic Earl, etc.
I would also add that any mare by a
Most Happy Fella line mare could suit Santanna Blue Chip as the Artsplace line / Most Happy Fella cross has been so successful the world over.
Interestingly Art Major has demonstrated a liking for
the "outcross" type mares. The former Australian 2yo
Filly of the Year in
Lady Euthenia who is out of a
Maple Lanes Strike mare. While also his richest performer in America,
Art Official, and both
Lilac Stride and
Just Grange, are all out of
Falcon Seelster mares, then
Santanna Blue Chip is out of a Matts Scooter (by Direct Scooter) mare.
So these type of mares should all be considered for Major In Art.
As Major In Art is from the same family as
The Old Maid and
Spinster any mare carrying strains of these great broodmares would be desirable. You might find them through
Bachelor Hanover,
Toliver Hanover or
Dancer Hanover.
