It seems that Lord Kanaloa [2008H. King Kamehameha x Lady Blossom (Storm Cat x Saratoga Dew)] had a very strong book in his first season at stud!
They say he covered 200+ mares.
(Of side note, he is now standing at Shadai. But he was the champion bred by K.I.Farm, a breeding farm that is independent of the Shadai group.)
Angelic Ray(JPN) (Daiwa Major) (1/2 to Danon Ballade) ---> Lord Kanaloa
Eight Days Apart(USA) (Forest Wildcat) (1/2 to Posse) ---> Lord Kanaloa
Lady Alba Rosa(JPN) (King Kamehameha) (multiple G3 winner) ---> Deep Impact
Lady Ballade(IRE) (Unbridled) (dam of G1placed Danon Ballade) ---> Lord Kanaloa
Lady Carnival(JPN) (Giant's Causeway) (o/o Brz champion Virginie) ---> Lord Kanaloa
Lady Pastel(JPN) (Tony Bin) (G1 winner) ---> King Kamehameha
Lady Sapphire(JPN) (Symboli Kris S) (1/2 to Lord Kanaloa) ---> King Kamehameha
One for Rose(CAN) (Tejano Run) (three-time champion in Canada) ---> Lord Kanaloa
Shimmei Fuji(JPN) (Fuji Kiseki) (G3 winner) ---> Lord Kanaloa
Spinning Wildcat(USA) (Hard Spun) (3/4 to War Chant) ---> Lord Kanaloa
Woodland Dream(IRE) (Charnwood Forest) (dam of Snow Fairy) ---> Lord Kanaloa
I believe that he will become an influential stallion at stud.
Outcross for Sunday Silence-line broodmares, he has the classy race record as well as the pedigree.
The Kingmambo line has been very successful in Japan (El Condor Pasa, King Kamehameha, Rulership and so on).
His speed influence will be appreciated by many breeders here, too.
