2025 European Mating Plans: Peter Brant

[Wandering Eyes]

Nine years after he re-entered the sport after a 20-year absence, Peter Brant has built a broodmare band that is the envy of the breeding world. Between sales purchases and talented fillies and mares on the track retiring to be bred, he has amassed some of the most powerful bloodlines in the business. He sat down and talked to the TDN about plans for his top European and American mares. A few select European mares appear below. Click here to read about his American mares.

 

BLOWOUT (GB), 9, Dansili (GB)-Beauty Parlour (GB), by Deep Impact (Jpn). To be bred to Wootton Bassett (GB)

Blowout (the GI First Lady Stakes winner at Churchill Downs) is going to Ireland, and she's going to Wootton Bassett at Coolmore. I think it's a good cross. He's a strong horse, he gets nice-size horses, and she was a beautiful horse but a little on the smaller side. Wootton Bassett crosses well with Dansili, and she's by Dansili.

 

IN ITALIAN (GB), 7, Dubawi (Ire)-Florentina (Aus), by Redoute's Choice (Aus). To be bred to Frankel (GB)

In Italian is a four-time Grade I stakes winner and earner of over $2 million.

I like the cross of Frankel and Dubawi (Ire) and she's a very well-made mare. Frankels tend to takes on the characteristics of the mare and this horse should be a grass horse.

 

MY SISTER NAT (FR), 10, Acclamation (GB)-Starlet's Sister (Ire), by Galileo (Ire). To be bred to Wootton Bassett

My Sister Nat is a mutliple stakes-winning G1-stakes placed mare who is a half-sister to seven-time GI SW and champion turf female Sistercharlie (Ire), and French Classic and Arc winner Sottsass (Fr).

My Sister Nat is also going to Wootton Bassett. She's had some good-looking foals by Dubawi and Kingman (GB). We like Kingman a lot and she's been bred to Frankel, so we're going to breed her to Wootton Bassett. I like the Acclamation cross, especially with her being out of a Galileo mare. He's a proven stallion, and she's a very well-bred mare. She's a sister to Sistercharlie, who won the Breeders' Cup, and it's an amazing family, with Sottsass, and Shin Emperor (Fr), who was just second in the Japan Cup.

 

SISTERCHARLIE (IRE), 11, Myboycharlie (Ire)-Starlet's Sister (Ire), by Galieo (Ire). To be bred to Dubawi

Sistercharlie is going back to Dubawi. She's in foal to Siyouni (Fr). She has two Dubawis on the ground-a two-year-old and a yearling, and we really like what we're seeing. Both the two-year-old and the yearling are very, very good-looking horses.
