Through his progeny Art Major is showing he is a tremendous stallion. He is crossing with many different broodmare sirelines, however, there are some patterns which have emerged
As with most Artsplace stallions Art Major is crossing well with mares by No Nukes and Cam Fella line stallions.

Three of his of his top thirteen performers out of No Nukes line mares, including his top earner Sushi Sushi.

No Nukes line stallions include Safely Kept, American Ideal, Live Or Die, Western Terror, Jeremes Jet, Caprock, Badlands Hanover, Ticket To Heaven, Barnett Hanover, Union Guy, Kinney Hanover, Northern Lights, etc.

While he has also sired many top performers out of Cam Fella line mares including For A Reason, Philadelphia Man, Lettucereason, Shez No Fake, General Bronski and Major Bronski out of Fake Left mares. Then Its My Pleasure, Art Shadow and Our Femme Fatale out of Armbro Operative mares.

Onlyforyou is out of a Presidential Ball mare, Restrepo and Major Crocker are out of D M Dilinger mares.

Cam Fella line stallions include Fake Left, Bettors Delight, Armbro Operative, Presidential Ball, Precious Bunny, Pacific Fella, Four Starzzz Shark, Blissfull Hall, Riverboat King, Camtastic, Cameleon, Brioso Hanover, Exotic Earl, etc.

Art Major has demonstrated the ability to sire extremely good horses out of Direct Scooter line mares incuding Santanna Blue Chip in North America and Isaiah and Sky Major in New Zealand.

Of course the Direct Scooter line has been very successful down here through In The Pocket, Christian Cullen, Courage Under Fire and Mach Three, so any mares by these stallions should suit Art Major.

It is also worth noting that Art Major has demonstrated a liking for the “outcross” type mares. His best performing female in the Southern Hemisphere, Avonnova and Lady Euthenia are out of Maple Lanes Strike mares. While also his richest performer in America, Art Official, and both Lilac Stride and Glenferrie Shuffle, are all out of Falcon Seelster mares.

Soho Valencia is out of a Vintner mare, while Beetson is out of a Classic Garry mare.

Art Major has also sired $100,000 winners out of mares by Vanston Hanover (Lettucerockthem), Holmes Hanover (Just Cala) and Tompkins Hanover (Dance For Madi). So mares by Albatross line stallions could be suitable.

Such Albatross line stallions include Soky’s Atom, Vance Hanover, Butler BG, Talk About Class, etc.

Interestingly Art Major has had also had a fair amount of success with Albert Albert and Pacific Rocket mares in the US with the best being Artimittateslife.

Of course Art Major’s full brother Perfect Art enjoyed great success here before his untimely death so we can learn from him. Looking at the dams of his 20 $100,000 earners, 6 are by sons of Albatross, 4 are by sons or grandsons of Most Happy Fella, 3 are by Fake Left, 3 are by sons or grandsons of No Nukes, 2 are by Golden Greek, 1 is by Land Grant and 1 is by Maple Lanes Strike.
Ten To The Dozen became Art Major’s latest $100,000 earner when taking out the APG WA Sales 3YO C&G Sales Classic at Gloucester Park.

Through his progeny Art Major is showing he is a tremendous stallion. He is crossing with many different broodmare sirelines, however, there are some patterns which have emerged
As with most Artsplace stallions Art Major is crossing well with mares by No Nukes and Cam Fella line stallions.

Three of his of his top thirteen performers out of No Nukes line mares, including his top earner Sushi Sushi.

No Nukes line stallions include Safely Kept, American Ideal, Live Or Die, Western Terror, Jeremes Jet, Caprock, Badlands Hanover, Ticket To Heaven, Barnett Hanover, Union Guy, Kinney Hanover, Northern Lights, etc.

While he has also sired many top performers out of Cam Fella line mares including For A Reason, Philadelphia Man, Lettucereason, Shez No Fake, General Bronski and Major Bronski out of Fake Left mares. Then Its My Pleasure, Art Shadow and Our Femme Fatale out of Armbro Operative mares.

Onlyforyou is out of a Presidential Ball mare, Restrepo and Major Crocker are out of D M Dilinger mares.

Cam Fella line stallions include Fake Left, Bettors Delight, Armbro Operative, Presidential Ball, Precious Bunny, Pacific Fella, Four Starzzz Shark, Blissfull Hall, Riverboat King, Camtastic, Cameleon, Brioso Hanover, Exotic Earl, etc.

Art Major has demonstrated the ability to sire extremely good horses out of Direct Scooter line mares incuding Santanna Blue Chip in North America and Isaiah and Sky Major in New Zealand.

Of course the Direct Scooter line has been very successful down here through In The Pocket, Christian Cullen, Courage Under Fire and Mach Three, so any mares by these stallions should suit Art Major.

It is also worth noting that Art Major has demonstrated a liking for the “outcross” type mares. His best performing female in the Southern Hemisphere, Avonnova and Lady Euthenia are out of Maple Lanes Strike mares. While also his richest performer in America, Art Official, and both Lilac Stride and Glenferrie Shuffle, are all out of Falcon Seelster mares.

Soho Valencia is out of a Vintner mare, while Beetson is out of a Classic Garry mare.

Art Major has also sired $100,000 winners out of mares by Vanston Hanover (Lettucerockthem), Holmes Hanover (Just Cala) and Tompkins Hanover (Dance For Madi). So mares by Albatross line stallions could be suitable.

Such Albatross line stallions include Soky’s Atom, Vance Hanover, Butler BG, Talk About Class, etc.

Interestingly Art Major has had also had a fair amount of success with Albert Albert and Pacific Rocket mares in the US with the best being Artimittateslife.

Of course Art Major’s full brother Perfect Art enjoyed great success here before his untimely death so we can learn from him. Looking at the dams of his 20 $100,000 earners, 6 are by sons of Albatross, 4 are by sons or grandsons of Most Happy Fella, 3 are by Fake Left, 3 are by sons or grandsons of No Nukes, 2 are by Golden Greek, 1 is by Land Grant and 1 is by Maple Lanes Strike.
Ten To The Dozen became Art Major’s latest $100,000 earner when taking out the APG WA Sales 3YO C&G Sales Classic at Gloucester Park.
