                    Pedigree notes

                    A leading sire son of multiple Champion Sire I Am Invincible with 26 Stakes winners from 489 runners at a rate of over 5.3% SW/R.

                    His yearlings have sold for up to $1.15 million and have sold to $375,000 in 2024, a great return on service fee. Importantly, to Australasian breeders, his juvenile crops have produced 13 Stakes winners and he has produced multiple Stakes performing juveniles from every crop to race.

                    G1 Statistics

                    Brazen Beau is the sire of six G1 performers to date. The G1 Thousand Guineas winner Another Prophet became his third individual G1 winner at the recent Melbourne Spring carnival, joining the likes of G1 The Galaxy winner and multiple G1-placed Zapateo and G1 Manawatu Sires Produce winner On The Bubbles.

                    Best Nicks

                    Brazen Beau’s best nicks are with Lonhro, Shamardal and his son Lope De Vega and also the closely related leading broodmare sires Encosta De Lago and Flying Spur.

                    Three of his 14 Group winners are out of Lonhro mares, a great return from 12 runners. The Lonhro/Zabeel broad cross has six Stakes winners including G1 winner Zapateo, from 44 runners (13.63% SW/R) with the Brazen Beau/Lonhro nick being the best version of this cross with three Stakes winners from 12 runners (25% SW/R).

                    It has become apparent that there is a spectacular nick between the bloodlines of I Am Invincible and Shamardal with 10-time G1 winner Imperatriz spearheading the way. The Brazen Beau/Shamardal cross is already responsible for two of Brazen Beau’s 14 Group winners, reinforcing the merit of this cross. From just 7 runners out of mares by Shamardal or his son Lope De Vega, Brazen Beau has sired 2 SW and 3 SP for 5/7 stakes horses (71.4% Stakes performers to runners), which is a notable nick. The data set is still quite young but the early evidence is very convincing.

                    Brazen Beau has a G1 winner and a Stakes winners each out of just a few mares by Sebring and his sire More Than Ready. He also has two Stakes winners and a Stakes-placed out of 19 runners from Exceed And Excel mares (15.8% SH/R).

                    Inbreeding / Linebreeding options

                    Brazen Beau’s fifth dam Windy Answer is also the sixth dam of Encosta De Lago and fifth dam of Flying Spur. This female line is more familiar to breeders through the mare Rolls who is closer up in the pedigrees of those two great sires and broodmare sires.

                    The Brazen Beau crosses with mares carrying strains of his female line via Encosta De Lago and Flying Spur have produced 51 runners for four Stakes winners (7.8% SW/R) including the very high class G1 winner On The Bubbles and G2 winner Pretty Brazen.
