Bluebloods Editor, David Bay, continues his series of profiles on new sires for 2010 in the southern hemisphere where he takes a look at the pedigrees, race record and he offers some suggested advice for suitable matings (remember, this mating advice is general in nature and should be used as a guide only, as every mare is an individual and her entire pedigree and conformation should be considered when deciding on a suitable beau!).

Sire: Red Ransom (Roberto-Arabia by Damascus), has 883 winners (71.6%) of $100m including 100SW (7.8%), 14 at Gr.1 level including Red Element’s brilliant sister Typhoon Tracy, Perfect Sting, Red Clubs, Red Dazzler, Charge Forward, Red Dazzler and two other freshmen of 2010 in All American and Onenorenomore. Red Ransom showed brilliant speed winning two of his three starts and finishing a second in the other and broke a 5f track record, running 56.4 when winning his Maiden at Saratoga. His sire won the English Derby and his dam is by US Horse of the Year Damascus (21 wins). Sire sons include Charge Forward, Markane, Intikhab, Ekraar, Sri Pekan and Face Value.

Dam: Staging (Success Express-Cinerama by Best Western) won 10 races (1000m-1600m) and $1.1m and her notable success came in the Light Fingers Stakes-Gr.2, while she was also runner-up in the QTC Sires’ Produce-Gr.1 and Doomben 10,000-Gr.1. An exceptional broodmare for Duporth’s breeders Peter and Wendy Moran, her other talented sons include Excites (Danewin), who won the AJC Sires’ Produce-Gr.1 and was runner-up in the Caulfield Guineas-Gr.1 and Tickets (Redoute’s Choice), who won the Pago Pago-Gr.2 at two when he was also runner-up in the AJC Sires’ Produce and Champagne Stakes, both Gr.1 and who won the Phar Lap Stakes-Gr.3 this season as well as finishing fourth in the Ascot Vale Stakes-Gr.1. Staging has also produced two city-winning fillies by Flying Spur.

Her sire Success Express (Hold Your Peace-Au Printemps by Dancing Champ) won the Breeders’ Cup Juvelnile-Gr.1 and sired the winners of more than $33m and his 32 stakes winners included Gr.1 winner and sire Mossman and Golden Slipper heroine Polar Success and his daughters have produced the winners of $29m including Gold Edition and Savabeel.

  Next dam, the speedy Cinerama is by Spring Champion Stakes-Gr.1 winner Best Western (Bletchingly) and she also produced the tough Listed-winning sprinter Dashing Image to Success Express and stakes placed Special Effects (Salieri). Third dam Bold Bridget (Bold Flip) won eight races in Melbourne (1200m-1600m) and her six winners included Listed winner River Don (Nisku).

Race record: Duporth defeated Bank Robber and Apache Cat in the BTC Cup-Gr.1 and his other wins include the rich STC Golden Rose-Gr.2 (All American fourth) and the AJC San Domenico Stakes-Gr.3 and he was also third in the Up and Coming Stakes-Gr.3, fourth in the Caulfield Guineas-Gr.1, fourth in the Baguette Stakes-Gr.2 and Royal Sovereign Stakes-Gr.2 and fourth on debut at two (beaten 1-3/4 lengths) in the Pago Pago Stakes-Gr.2. He retires with three wins (1100m-1400m) and earnings of $1.14m.

  “We have been on the lookout for quite a while for another horse to stand alongside Dane Shadow,” Kitchwin Hills manager Mick Malone said.

“We’ve been offered quite a few over a period of time and now we think the right one has come along in Duporth. We are very, very excited about standing him. Besides being a Gr.1 winner he’s as good a type as I’ve seen as a stallion prospect, and like Dane Shadow he’s from a superior race mare. I think that is a very important factor, which has been proven over the years, when searching for a stallion.”

Pedigree notes: His family’s success with Danehill sons Danewin, Redoute’s Choice and Flying Spur gives good clues to broodmare owners and it would be no surprise to see him click with daughters of stud mate Dane Shadow (dam by Centaine), with mares by Commands, Danehill, Hurricane Sky, daughters of Zabeel’s sons Octagonal and Reset, mares by Last Tycoon, Arazi, Royal Academy and from the Halo line.
