The famous musical maestro and breeder bred Rewilding, who is by shuttle sire Tiger Hill from Darara, a G1-winning daughter of Top Ville out of the French mare Delsy.
Delsy is a half-sister to French Derby winner Darshaan and has proven one of the best broodmares of modern times having also produced G1 winners Darazari, Dar Re Mi and Diaghilev and three other black-type performers Dariyoun, Kilimanjaro and Rhagaas.
Tiger Hill is a son of Danehill who was bred by Germany's Gestut Wittekindshof out of the German-bred winning Appiani mare The Filly.
Tiger Hill, after several seasons standing in Britain and Ireland under the Darley banner, was transferred to stand at Gestut Fahrhof in Germany this year.
* JUDDMONTE has dominated Royal Ascot 2011 with their sires Oasis Dream, Dansili and Beat Hollow all figuring in the winner lists.
Beat Hollow, a resident of Banstead Manor Stud with Dansili and Oasis Dream, got his eighth stakes winner when his daughter Rhythm Of Light won the Sandringham Handicap on day two.
Rhythm Of Light is out of the winning Danehill mare Luminda, a half-sister to G2 San Clemente Handicap winner Little Treasure from the family of brilliant miler Bigstone.
Luminda has also produced Lazy Afternoon (Hawk Wing), stakes placed in France, and three time winner She's In The Money (High Chaparral).
The merits of Juddmonte's breeding operation were further enhanced by the win of Lolly For Dolly.
The sixth Group winner worldwide for Coolmore's Oratorio, Lolly For Dolly is the first foal of the Juddmonte-bred Heart Stopping, a half-sister to Listed winner Short Dance and the G3-placed Yankadi.
A 56,000gns Tattersalls December Foal purchase by Luke Barry, Lolly For Dolly was resold for 57,000gns at Book 2 of the Tattersalls October Sale to agent Cormac McCormack.
* EXCEED And Excel's Queen Mary Stakes winner Best Terms was passed in for 10,000gns as a yearling.
She extends the hot run being enjoyed by progeny of the Australian-bred son of Danehill as he is also the sire of last Saturday's Scurry Stakes winner Margot Did, German 2000 Guineas winner Excelebration and recent Woodcote Stakes scorer Fulbright.
Best Terms hails from a great-granddaughter of the brilliant Time Charter. A half-sister to the G3-placed Sunsemperchi, she is out of Sharp Terms, an unraced Kris half-sister to G2 winners First Charter and Anton Chekhov.
* THE famous silks of Peter Harris were carried to victory by Julienas in the Royal Hunt Cup just months after the former breeder and trainer dispersed much of his bloodstock interests.
Julienas, a four-year-old Cape Cross gelding, is one of two winners out of the Sri Pekan mare Dora Carrington, winner of the Cherry Hinton Stakes and a half-sister to Harris's Middle Park Stakes hero Primo Valentino.
Dora Carrington is out of the winner Dorothea Brooke, a daughter of Dancing Brave and Harris's foundation mare Connaught Bridge, winner of the Yorkshire Oaks and Nassau Stakes.
Dora Carrington was sold at last year's Harris dispersal at the Tattersalls December Sale for 35,000gns.
* JERSEY Stakes winner Strong Suit is the latest European flag-bearer for former Kentucky stalwart Rahy, the Blushing Groom half-brother to Singspiel who was retired from stud duty at the age of 24 in 2009.
The 1987 Middle Park Stakes runner-up is the sire of 44 Pattern winners with American champion Serena's Song and top-class European runners such as Noverre and Fantastic Light.Strong Suit is unusual in the fact he is totally free of Northern Dancer blood but he inbred 4x4 to Hail To Reason.
A half-brother to two winners, he is the final foal out of Helwa, an unraced Silver Hawk half-sister to Japanese G2 winner God Of Chance and Listed winner Silver Colours.Further back is the family of the outstanding American champion Personal Ensign.
