Good read about Zamindar's influence as a broodmare sire of stallions, New Bay, Kingman, Zarak and Showcasing. I had completely forgotten he stood in Florida in 2001 and 2022.

Thanks very much for sharing.
I was a big fan of the Zamindar's daughter Zenda(GB), the 2002 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches winner, who came to the US to complete her career after her European campaign.
I do remember Zenda's stylish victory under Jerry Bailey at Saratoga in 2003 which turned out to be her final race.
I was saddened by her early retirement from racing, as I had been looking forward to seeing her another tilt at the BC.
But I was over the moon, when she produced the champion Kingman(GB) as a broodmare.
Her granddam Bahamian(IRE) was one of the key foundation mares for the Juddmonte indeed.
It is worth reminding everyone that New Bay’s dam Cinnamon Bay was a grand-daughter of Bahamian, as was Kingman’s dam Zenda, and that Kingman’s second dam Hope also produced Oasis Dream. Kingman’s pedigree also contains some of the same main elements as Showcasing’s. Each of them was sired by a son of Green Desert and the third generation of each stallion contains Danzig, Foreign Courier, Gone West, Zaizafon, Dancing Brave and Bahamian. With Commissioning, Noble Style and Nostrum among his four juvenile Group winners, Kingman also ranks among Europe’s leading sires of two-year-olds.
