Brave Smash (Jpn) is by Tosen Phantom, a Group 1 winning son of Neo Universe, in turn a son of the highly influential Sunday Silence.
A wonderful outcross for many Australasian mares, there are many important lines further back which can be reinforced in matings with Brave Smash for best effect.
Tosen Phantom traces to Killaloe, a half sister to OGYGIAN, who is damsire of STREET BOSS and JOHANNESBURG. The latter is the ancestor of sires such as TURFFONTEIN, SCAT DADDY and NO NAY NEVER, whose daughters and grand-daughters appeal. Killaloe is also dam of FAPPIANO, who should also be sought in mares to create further line breeding.
Brave Smash’s grandsire Neo Universe is from the same tail female family as SHAMARDAL and STREET CRY (sire of PER INCANTO, STREET BOSS and PRIDE OF DUBAI)who both stood in Australia and have many daughters here to create a desirable line breeding pattern with Brave Smash. Shamardal’s sons CAPTAIN SONADOR, LOPE DE VEGA and PUISSANCE DE LUNE appeal.
Neo Universe is sire of Japan’s 2010 Best 3yo Colt and 2011 Best Older Horse, Victoire Pisa. He is out of a MACHIAVELLIAN mare. Machiavellian is most easily sourced in Australian mares via STREET CRY (already mentioned above) and VETTORI. He is also damsire of SHAMARDAL (also mentioned above), therefore he and his sons suit. LOPE DE VEGA is particularly appealing, as not only is he by Shamardal, his damsire is Vettori, offering two lines to Machiavellian.
Machiavellian is an ALMAHMOUD family member, as is Northern Dancer (three lines) and Halo on Brave Smash’s sire line. Brave Smash is free of fellow ALMAHMOUD family member, DANEHILL (by Danzig). This opens up an expansive array of mares for Brave Smash, with many mares being by sons and grandsons of Danehill. His key representatives include REDOUTE’S CHOICE (and sons NOT A SINGLE DOUBT and SNITZEL), COMMANDS, DANEHILL DANCER (and son CHOISIR), FASTNET ROCK, LION HUNTER, HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR and ROCK OF GIBRALTAR, however there are many others too numerous to name.
Other sons of Danehill’s sire DANZIG are also desirable to reinforce fellow LADY SUSAN family members Kampala and Rockefella present in Tosen Phantom’s pedigree. Sons of Danzig include LURE, LANGFUHR, CAPE CROSS, WAR CHANT, SNAADEE, PINE BLUFF, AD VALOREM, ANABAA, BELONG TO ME, BIANCONI, CHIEF’S CROWN, DESERT SUN, GOLDEN SNAKE, HARD SPUN, INVINCIBLE SPIRIT, MAROOF, MISTER C, KHELEYF, ORPEN, PERUGINO (and son TESTA ROSSA).
Another LADY SUSAN family member to seek for Brave Smash is BLETCHINGLY. Others are BEACHES, COPPER KINGDOM, GREY SEAS, MILLIONAIRE, KING OF BABYLON, LA FONTAINE, SHOWOFF and IMMORTAL. Bletchingly is most easily accessed in mares via his sons CANNY LAD, BEST WESTERN, BLETCHENCORE, SIR LAURENCE, HURRICANE SKY, BUREAUCRACY and COSSACK WARRIOR (and descendants BRAVE WARRIOR and SHOW A HEART).
Kris, damsire of Neo Universe, is a brother to KEEN and DIESIS, who can be found further back in mares’ pedigrees, such as in mares by DYLAN THOMAS. Kris can be sex balanced using mares carrying CREESE and SWITCH IN TIME. Sex balancing of Kris’ sire Sharpen Up can also be achieved using mares by DANEHILL DANCER.
PRETTY POLLY family member Northern Taste is duplicated in Brave Smash’s pedigree and reinforced by close relation Nearctic (3 lines) and Only For Life also present. Others to look for include REVOQUE, SALTGRASS, CATBIRD, CAPE CROSS, HALF HENNESSY, COUNTY, DIEU D’OR, MAIZCAY, COLORADO KID, ST. PADDY, DONATELLO II, PERSIAN GARDEN, THE COBBLER, DON, BRIGADIER GERARD, JUNGLE BOY, ARTAIUS, GREAT NEPHEW, SEVENTH HUSSAR, INDIAN HEMP, ROMANTIC, SUPREME COURT, ARCTIC EXPLORER, MARSAYAS, GUERSANT, HUNTERCOMBE, VIENNA, LUTHIER and PARDAO.
Brave Smash’s dam Tosen Smash has Partholon on her sire line. A lesser seen member of the famous FRIZETTE family, it begs the presence of fellow family member, MR PROSPECTOR. Influences from this sire line such as HUSSONET, STRAIGHT STRIKE, FAPPIANO, GONE WEST, MACHIAVELLIAN, UNBRIDLED’S SONG, RHYTHM, KINGMAMBO, E DUBAI, DISTORTED HUMOR, THUNDER GULCH, VETTORI, WOODMAN and FAPPIANO are desirable in partners for Brave Smash.Local Mr Prospector line representatives include AFLEETAFFAIR, BLU TUSMANI, CLANG, CANADIAN SILVER and GEIGER COUNTER.
Brave Smash’s second damsire Real Shadai is closely related to VALID APPEAL. He is the sire of SOUTHERN APPEAL and is in the pedigree of CHARGE FORWARD.
A sex balanced duplication of Real Shadai’s damsire IN REALITY can be created by using mares by DREAM AHEAD, HONOUR AND GLORY, PICCOLO and SOUTHERN APPEAL for example.
Brave Smash’s third dam Scarlet Blue is bred on a Northern Dancer / Crimson Satan cross, which can be replicated by using mares carrying ROYAL ACADEMY.
Brave Smash traces on tail female line to BOUDOIR II. Other members of this family to seek in mares are HIS MAJESTY (damsire of DANEHILL), MAJESTIC PRINCE (in ARTIE SCHILLER), CROWNED PRINCE (sire of PRINCE ECHO), WHISKEY ROAD (sire of SEA ROAD) and SECRETO (damsire of VERGLAS).
