Dehere

The RAISE A NATIVE line provided much of Dehere’s success during his previous time in the U.S. Dehere sired his Gr.2 winner Belle of Perintown from a daughter of MR. PROSPECTOR and he also sired Graded winners from mares by CRAFTY PROSPECTOR (Graeme Hall and Soto), GONE WEST (Shooter) and UNREAL ZEAL (Here’s Zealous). He also has a couple of Graded-placed winners out of mares by FORTY NINER. The FAPPIANO branch merits serious consideration. Dehere sired the three-time Gr.1 winner Take Charge Lady from a mare by RUBIANO. This points to mares by UNBRIDLED, UNBRIDLED’S SONG, CRYPTOCLEARANCE and QUIET AMERICAN. 

GONE WEST mares are obvious candidates for Dehere, as they have produced Graded winners to three different sons of Deputy Minister. Other sons of Deputy Minister have sired Graded winners from mares by several sons of Mr. Prospector, including CONQUISTADOR CIELO, CRAFTY PROSPECTOR, FAPPIANO and FORTY NINER.

The ALYDAR branch also holds great possibilities, judging by the record of other sons of Deputy Minister with mares from this line. Deputy Commander sired the top-class Ten Most Wanted from a CRIMINAL TYPE mare and Awesome Again sired the Gr.1 winner Dubai Escapade from a SARATOGA SIX mare. Silver Deputy has a Graded winner out of an EASY GOER mare, and Awesome Again also has two Graded winners out of daughters of TURKOMAN. Dehere’s smart son Easyfromthegitgo is also out of an EASY GOER mare.

Mares by A.P. INDY, GONE WEST and STORM CAT produce 3 x 4 inbreeding to the great SECRETARIAT. Mares by their sons, such as PULPIT, GRAND SLAM, MR. GREELEY, ELUSIVE QUALITY, HENNESSY and TALE OF THE CAT all create 3 x 5 to Secretariat, and some of them produce two lines to Northern Dancer.

Inbreeding to DAMASCUS is worth considering, as Dehere sired the very talented Arrested Dream from a TIMELESS MOMENT mare, creating 4 x 3 to Damascus. Dehere’s Gr.3 winner Shooter is another inbred 4 x 3 to Damascus.

It is encouraging that his sire, Deputy Minister, has several good winners which are inbred to NORTHERN DANCER, including the Gr.1 winners Fabulously Fast and Touch Gold, who are inbred 3 x 3, and Keeper Hill, who is inbred 3 x 4. This opens the door to the popular STORM CAT, DANZIG, DIXIELAND BAND, NIJINSKY and NUREYEV branches.

Deputy Minister did well with ALLEGED mares and his son Awesome Again sired the Gr.1 winner Composure from one. Other RIBOT line mares provided Silver Deputy with Silverbulletday and Touch Gold with Midas Eyes. A PLEASANT COLONY mare produced the Gr.2 winner Latour to French Deputy.

Deputy Minister sired Awesome Again from a BLUSHING GROOM mare, and Blushing Groom sired the second dam of Dehere’s top daughter Take Charge Lady. Dehere also has talented performers out of mares by BLUSHING GROOM and his sons MT. LIVERMORE and PRE EMPTIVE STRIKE. 

Other sons of Deputy Minister sired the brilliant Ghostzapper and the Gr.2 winner House Party from mares by RELAUNCH. There are also several talented performers by sons of Deputy Minister out of mares by VALID APPEAL. 

DEHERE is one of two sons of Deputy Minister to have sired a Graded winner from daughters of COX’S RIDGE.

SLEW o’ GOLD is the broodmare sire of French Deputy’s top daughter Mayo On The Side and Dehere has two good winners with Slew o’ Gold as their broodmare sire. He also has a Gr.2-placed winner out of a mare by SEATTLE SLEW.

COZZENE sired the dam of Awesome Again’s Gr.1 winner Toccet and his daughters should also suit Dehere.

Mares by MEADOWLAKE have produced stakes horses, including two Graded winners, to at least six sons of Deputy Minister, so ought to suit Dehere.

Mares by sons of ROBERTO, such as KRIS S. and LEAR FAN, have produced Graded performers to other Deputy Minister stallions, so would be worth trying with Dehere.
