Stallion Synopsis – No Never No More

Prepared by: Alan Porter – Pedigree Consultants

A son of Champion Sire Scat Daddy, No Never No More is three-quarters brother to Champion Two-Year-Old and Champion Sire No Nay Never.

Scat Daddy sired undefeated Triple Crown winner Justify out of a mare by Ghostzapper, a son of Awesome Again, from the Deputy Minister branch of Northern Dancer. It would also be possible to bring in Awesome Again though Daaher, Oxbow, Paynter, Toccet and Awesome of Course. There is also a Scat Daddy grade one winner out of a mare by Deputy Minister himself, and graded stakes winners out of mares by French Deputy and Silver Deputy (sire of Posse, Badge of Silver and Spring At Last), this also suggests daughters of Touch Gold, Deputy Commander, Salt Lake and Forest Camp.

The cross of Scat Daddy and sons over Danzig line mares has been a prolific one with more than 50 stakes winners, 20 of them by No Nay Never. This includes grade one winners out of mares by Hard Spun, Boundary (sire of Big Brown), Oasis Dream (by Green Desert) and Exceed and Excel (by Danehill, whose sons Fastnet Rock, Rock of Gibraltar, Danehill Dancer, Kodiac, Holy Roman Emperor and Oratorio are broodmare sires of Scat Daddy line stakes winners)as well as graded winners out of mares by Belong to Me and War Chant, and a stakes winner out of a mare by Langfuhr. Mares by War Front (sire of Declaration of War, The Factor, Summer Front, Hit it a Bomb, Data Link and Soldat), and Exchange Rate could also work.

The cross of Scat Daddy and sons with Sadler’s Wells line mares has been a very successful one, including a grade one winner out of a mare by Powerscourt and a grade one winner out of a mare by Borrego (by El Prado, sire of Medaglia d’Oro, Kitten’s Joy and Artie Schiller; grandsire of Violence and Warrior’s Reward). There are 17 stakes winners, five  out of mares by Galileo (represented in the U.S. by Magician and Cape Blanco). We can also note that No Nay Never has two graded stakes winners out of High Chaparral. No Nay Never has also sired two stakes winners out of mares by Peintre Celebre and Pivotal, both from the sire line of Nureyev, a three-quarters brother to Sadler’s Wells. Sources in the U.S. include Theatrical, Fasliyev, Unusual Heat and Spinning World. Turning to the Mr. Prospector line, Scat Daddy has enjoyed considerable success with mares from the Fappiano branch. He has graded winners out of mares by Unbridled’s Song and Empire Maker and stakes winners out of mares by Broken Vow and Niigon, all by Unbridled. From mares by Unbridled’s Song line stallios, there is a grade one winner out of a mare by Buddha, and graded winners from Rockport Harbor, First Defence and Songandaprayer. This also suggests trying daughters of such as Arrogate, Liam’s Map, Midshipman, Even the Score, Half Ours and Old Fashioned. Empire Maker is sire of Pioneerof the Nile and Bodemeister. There are also Scat Daddy stakes winners out of mare by Fappiano sons Rubiano (sire of Too Much Bling and Burning Roma) and A.P. Jet, and mares by Quiet American and his grandson, Midnight Lute, could also be considered.

The cross of Scat Daddy and mares from the Gone West line has also proved fruitful. There is a graded stakes winner out of a mare by Gone West himself. The cross with mares by Seeker’s Reward has produced five grade one winners, including U.S. star, Dacita. There are also grade one winners out of daughters of Proud Citizen and Elusive Quality ((sire of Quality Road – also broodmare sire of a Scat Daddy line grade one winner – Smarty Jones and Great Notion), and a graded stakes winner out of a mare by Grand Slam,as well as a stakes winner out of a mare by that horse’s son, Strong Hope, which also suggests mares Limehouse and Fire Slam. It would also be possible to try mares by Mr. Greeley (sire of El Corredor, Belgravia and Horse Greeley) and by Speightstown and his son, Munnings.

Crossed over the Forty Niner branch of Mr. Prospector the Scat Daddy line has produced a Distorted Humor (and sons such as Any Given Saturday, Cowtown Cat, Drosselmeyer, Flower Alley, Jimmy Creed, Alternation, Boisterous, Cowtown Cat, Brethren, Khozan and Sharp Humor),graded stakes winner out of a mare by End Sweep (sire of Trippi) and stakes winners out of mares by Coronado’s Quest (broodmare sire Ultima D, a three-quarters sister to No Never No More), Jules (sire of Peace Rules) and Editor’s Note.

Scat Daddy has a pair of grade one winners out of a mare by Street Cry (sire of Street Sense). There is a grade two winner out of a mare by Smart Strike, two graded stakes winners by No Nay Never out of English Channel, and another out of a mare by his son Curlin, which suggests mares by Lookin At Lucky. From other branches of the Mr. Prospector line, there are Scat Daddy line graded stakes winners out of mares by Afleet (sire of Northern Afleet and grandsire of Afleet Alex), Not For Love and Thunder Gulch (and a stakes winner out of a mare by his son Point Given). There are also stakes winners out of mares by Smoke Glacken, Seeking the Gold (sire of Mutakddim, Petionville and Cape Town) and Lemon Drop Kid. Considering the A.P. Indy line, the cross with the mares from the Pulpit branch – which gives the influential sisters Yarn and Preach – has delivered four stakes winners, three out of mares by Tapit (sire of Constitution, Cupid, Frosted, Trappe Shot, Tapizar and Tapiture) and one out of a mare by Sky Mesa. Pulpit is also the sire of the second dam of Scat Daddy’s Triple Crown winner Justify and other Pulpit options include Corinthian, Stroll, Mr. Speaker, Power Broker, Sightseeing and Parading. Graded stakes winner Azar is by Scat Daddy out of a mare by A.P. Indy son, Mineshaft (bred on the same cross as Pulpit, and himself sire of Discreetly Mine and Dialed In) and there is also a stakes winner out of a mare by Bernardini (sire of Stay Thirsty and To Honor and Serve). This also suggests mares by A.P. Indy sons, Flatter, Congrats, Malibu Moon, Stephen Got Even (sire of First Dude), Jump Start and Majestic Warrior.
