A suitable 'small start' for an unwanted grandson of the unwanted
sire. Hope he'll contribute to Scandinavian breeding operations as
the black sire once did to us, and we expect more to follow this case
for our country is too small for potential of the sire line to develop
to a new stage.
Also I really enjoyed an article about Barocci from the Svensk Galopp:

Barocci - new stallion at stud Rävdansens
Ivan and Berit Sjöberg Rävdansens Stud has purchased a new exciting stallion, Barocci
2014-11-16| Sweden
Read Rävdansens press release:
We have for many years been in contact with the family Yoshida of Japan and also on a personal level have become good friends. We have visited them and they have been here with us at Rävdansen. It was through them that we got into Eishin Dunkirk and later Philomatheia.
They have had a standing mission in finding an exciting stallion with a modern blood to Rävdansen. They are well aware of the financial resources available in Scandinavia, that we do not have the resources to buy a Group 1 winner with top trunk, but that we have to buy smart, and find a horse that has been out there with the best horses in the world, has been just below the top of the world but with a pedigree of world class.
There are plenty of top stammered, but non-runners for sale on the market, which is essentially "free", but it has certainly not been an option for oss.Därför rang Naoya Yoshida to me a few weeks ago and told me that a horse named Barocci would be sold at Keeneland in November.
Barocci tuned in perfectly to our requirements list: super pedigree and had been out and met his generation's best horses, but failed to win the big race. They knew the horse very well because he was a son of Deep Impact, which stands at the Yoshida family's stud farm in Hokkaido in Japan and he was the first winner of the Deep Impact outside Japan.
They had closely followed his career from the time he started in France until he was now in the US. He meant Barocci was perfect for us and that he was now in the United States made it easier for us to come to him. American market are mainly looking for clean dirt track horses and Barocci had raced exclusively on turf in Europe and the US. Moreover, he has a pedigree that is unusual for the United States.
Such a super stallion Danehill is completely irrelevant in the United States and one can hardly find any prominent Danehill- son in the US while he is the size anywhere in the world. The same applies to Deep Impact. The alternative would have been to buy a Deep Impact- son from Japan but now they cost so much that it is not reasonable to try to buy one that has result in the back.
The owners would rather sell Barocci before the auction and we contacted Lane's End to hear what he would cost to buy off. However the price was too high for us so we decided to have a cool head and wait for the auction and take a chance that they would not be able to sell him before he was in the ring. Once on the auction we were fortunate that he was sold on the penultimate day, when the activity has gone down well in Lexington, and we managed to buy him at a bargain price. Lane's Ends miscalculation became our happiness!
We sat at the computer and followed the auction, and immediately after the hammer team, we were called by Nayoa Yoshida and his wife Marie, and they were in utter ecstasy. Everyone would talk to us on the phone and they nearly fought to speak about which clip we made. A little concerning, we think, when they normally buy and sell horses on entirely different levels than this, but they have somehow provided to help us and Scandinavia to launch a qualitative breeding and taken pride in doing so.
Barocci is the result of a unique initiative where Wertheimer brothers in France, the world's leading horse owners and breeders under the names Ecurie Wildenstein and Dayton Invest Ltd, sent some of their best mares from France all the way to Japan to be bred to Deep Impact. Hugely impressed by Deep Impact sent, among other things his mare Bastet (Giants Causeway) and the first result was Barocci, born in Japan, but repatriation to France as a foal.
The following year made the Beauty Parlour (RPR 119) the same trip to France from Japan.
And she is a full sister to Barocci'! Unbeaten as a 2 year old, won the Beauty Parlour as 3-year-old dÉssai Poule des Pouliches (Gr 1), the Prix de la Grotte (Gr3) and was 2nd in the Prix de Diane (Gr 1). Took 4 wins as 2- and 3-year-old and earned a total of $ 713.308.
