Nicks Star Witness firmly established himself as one of the fastest horses of his generation. Winner of his first three starts at two, including a brilliant win in the Blue Diamond Stakes, he added the sire-making Ascot Vale Stakes at three. From the first crop of World Champion Starcraft, Star Witness is out of Leone Chiara, a group stakes winning granddaughter of Danehill, who is herself a sister to two other group winners. Star Witness is from the Nureyev male line, via classic winner, and Champion Sprinter Soviet Star, but his pedigree suggests that he may forge his own course rather than merely reflecting his sire line. Star Witness is inbred to Northern Dancer, and is free of Mr. Prospector, a reverse cross to Northern Dancer, and an excellent foil for that strain. Among possible sources of Mr Prospector that would suit here are the likes of Elusive Quality, Zafonic and his son Xaar, Geiger Counter and Jade Robbery (giving linebreeding to the Thong family), Machiavellian (through Street Cry and Vettori), Thunder Gulch,Woodman, Kingmambo, El Moxie, Miswaki (through Umatilla), Seeking the Gold (sire of Secret Savings and Lujain), Bellotto and Unbridled’s Song. The cross of Star Witness over mares descending from Sir Tristram, appears to have good potential. Particularly interesting for Star Witness are mares by Zabeel, Kaapstad, and Octagonal (sire of Lonhro), who give a strong reinforcement of the pedigree of Soviet Star. Star Witness has three crosses of Northern Dancer, but those strains will be in the fifth and sixth generations of his foals, and Star Witness may well emulate his sire and grandsire by crossing well over Northern Dancer line mares. Obvious targets will include the three-parts-brothers to Star Witness’s male-line ancestor Nureyev, Sadler’s Wells, Fairy King and Perugino (all, like Nureyev, from the powerful family of Rough Shod II/Thong). Sadler’s Wells sources include Galileo, Montjeu, Barathea and Scenic. Fairy King can be introduced through his Champion Sire son Encosta de Lago. The Nijinsky II strain also looks to have merit with Star Witness and could be introduced through Royal Academy; Yeats (a close relative to Nureyev); Caerleon (sire of Generous, Alquoz, Bletchley Park and Tenby), Tights, Western Symphony and Kala Dancer. Star Witness does carry Danehill, but that strain will be back in the fourth generation of his foals and coming via his dam. A duplication of Danehill could be particularly interesting, especially through mares by Redoute’s Choice (a genetic relative to the dam of Star Witness), also through Flying Spur, Danehill Dancer (sire of Choisir), Commands and Danewin.
