Bel Esprit looks exciting with mares by KENMARE and his sons. Not only has Kenmare worked well with Nijinsky II in matings (SWs Any Rhythm, Silver Glade, Star Alight and the smart Dyslexia), but he also loves Bel Esprit’s damsire Vain (Kenvain, Keltrice, Tribu and Khoshaf). In addition, Bel Esprit’s damsire Adios traces to KONG, the dam of Kenmare’s great grandsire, Grey Sovereign.
STORM CAT sons such as Hennessy, Catrail, Singingintherain have daughters who would also look good under Bel Esprit. Storm Cat is not only out of a half sister to Royal Academy, but he also shares the same grandsire, Northern Dancer.
In future seasons, the daughters of new Storm Cat sires such as High Yield, Tale of the Cat, Giant’s Causeway and Johannesburg will also appeal.
