CROSSES OF GOLD

One of Downbytheseaside's greatest strengths as a stallion is the versatility of his pedigree. As a son of Somebeachsomewhere, he provides breeders with the opportunity to access proven international bloodlines while complementing many of Australasia's leading maternal families.

The following crosses have already shown considerable promise:

BETTOR'S DELIGHT

The Bettor's Delight cross is one of the most exciting options available to breeders. Downbytheseaside provides an outstanding outcross opportunity for Bettor's Delight mares, with the potential to add size, scope and athleticism to this already successful bloodline.

This cross is already producing outstanding results, with Group 1 winners and feature race performers including All Of Me, Coastal Babe, Winelight, Atlantic Gem and Forever Dream demonstrating the strength of this combination.

ARTSPLACE

The Artsplace line has long been a proven match with Somebeachsomewhere and his sons. The success of Captaintreacherous, bred on this cross, highlights the strength of this pedigree pattern.

Mares by Sportswriter have become a popular and successful cross with Downbytheseaside in both North America and Australasia, while Art Major, Major In Art and Dream Away mares are also proving highly compatible.

IN THE POCKET

The In The Pocket sire line has produced outstanding results when combined with Somebeachsomewhere and his sons. This includes the highly successful Christian Cullen branch of the family.

Downbytheseaside's talented daughter Aardiebytheseaside, a dual Group 1 winner, is bred on this proven cross, further reinforcing the compatibility of these bloodlines.

WESTERN HANOVER

The Western Hanover sire line continues to provide exciting opportunities for breeders. Downbytheseaside's champion son Pebble Beach is out of a Western Ideal mare, highlighting the potential of this cross.

This also provides encouragement for breeders with mares by American Ideal, Rocknroll Hanover and Rock N Roll Heaven, with these bloodlines offering strong compatibility with Downbytheseaside.
