I'd forgotten that Mozart passed after siring only one crop. Kind of neat to see him establishing a line in a similar vein to Dubai Millennium.
Mozart also had sire sons Amadeus Wolf (G1W who died relatively young without a sire son), Rebellion (G2W in U.S. and sire in Canada, not sure where he is now), Stratham (G3W in US and sire in ARG), and Rol' Over Beethoven (sire in Czech Republic).

He was at Haras Gavroche in Uruguay and has at least 2018 foals. The farm sold its horses in 2017 and 2018 and closed, so I don't know where he is now.
They had bought Rebellion and Vineyard Haven the same year, I can find Vineyard Haven but the shorter named horses are hard sometimes.

Thanks for filling in the blanks, you two. Sounds like River Boyne is the best hope for carrying on the Mozart line at this point.

War Emblem passed away at the ripe age of 21. What a week for horse racing.

I'll Have Another's Another Truth won the G2 Diolite Kinen at Funabashi in Japan.

I believe this is IHA's highest graded winner. I'm not sure what kind of G2 it is exactly, as I know graded races in Japan are different on dirt than turf and can even vary depending on the track.

I think it's pretty neat that several Lane's End stallions have progeny on the Derby/Oaks trail, with three of them being freshmen.

Honor A.P. - Honor Code
Tonalist's Shape - Tonalist
Basin - Liam's Map
High Velocity - Quality Road
Gingham - Quality Road
Three Technique - Mr. Speaker
Fore Left - Twirling Candy
Candy Tycoon - Twirling Candy

I might be missing a couple.

Guess who this multiple-winning hurdler's sire is! Blame.

I think this is pretty cool. Who knew?

“It is less likely that Blame would be considered a potential sire of jumpers, but he had another star on show at the weekend in the David Pipe-trained Main Fact, Blame's only National Hunt winner to date and who made it five consecutive handicap wins during this year with a 15-length dismissal of Kateson in the Burton Union Handicap Hurdle on Uttoxeter's Midlands National card.”

From the States to Staffordshire: a fine weekend for Blame

Tapit also has a nice US hurdler in Ice It.

Main Fact is out of a Sadler's Wells mare, and he has hurdler siblings, so I'm sure that has something to do with his "jumpiness."

Honor Code looks spectacular. So glad he's got a graded stakes winner already this year.
