MASTER SINGER (c, 3, Giant's Causeway–Ring of Music {GB}, by Sadler's Wells), third over 11 furlongs at Newbury on his 3-year-old debut Apr. 22, raced behind the leading quartet under cover throughout the early stages. Moving to the front without turning a hair passing the three-furlong pole, the 8-15 favourite sauntered clear from there and was eased well before the line to record a 16-length success. The winner is a half-brother to Campanologist (Kingmambo), winner of the G1 Deutschland-Preis, G1 Rheinland-Pokal, G1 Preis von Europa, G1 Gran Premio Jockey Club, G2 King Edward VII S. and G2 Dubai City of Gold, MG1SW-Ger, G1SW-Ity, MGSW-Eng, GSW-UAE, G1SP-Ire & GSP-Tur, $1,691,040. Unfortunately, he died before his first crop hit the track last year and they include the useful Langtang (Ger) and Incampo (Fr). The unraced Ring of Music, who has the 2-year-old filly Gloria Song by Malibu Moon and a yearling colt by that sire, is also the second dam of the G2 Matriarch S. winner Well Rounded (Aus) (Reset {Aus}), the G3 Umzimkhulu S. winner and G1 Golden Horseshoe runner-up One Fine Day (SAf) (Trippi) and the listed-placed Isobel Baillie (GB) (Lomitas {GB}). She in turn has produced Isabella Sings (Eskendereya), who captured the GII Mrs. Revere S. and three other graded-stakes races, and also Alaura Michele (Arch) who won two stakes contests and was third in the GIII Dr. James Penny Memorial H. The second dam is the multiple champion Glorious Song (Halo), dam of the outstanding mid-to-late-nineties Stoute stable luminary Singspiel (Ire) who earned group and grade 1 laurels in Britain, Canada, Japan and Dubai when he second running of the World Cup. Like his GII Bel Air H.-winning half-brother Rahy, he also made his presence felt at stud. Descendants of Glorious Song include the G1 Prix Vermeille heroine Mezzo Soprano (Darshaan {GB}) and G1 NHK Mile Cup-winning sire Danon Chantilly (Jpn), while she is a half-sister to the champion and sire Devil's Bag and leading sire Saint Ballado.
