SUANCES (GB) was a high-weighted 3-year-old in France at seven to 9 1/2 furlongs, a distance highly predictive of sire success. He scored a six-length victory in the prestigious Emirates Airline Prix Jean Prat (G1), one of France's most important races for 3-year-olds, and also won the Prix de Guiche (G3), both at about 1 1/8 miles. He was undefeated in four starts at 3 in France and Spain.
SUANCES moved to the United States to race at 5. Although he was unplaced in his first start in new surroundings, in the Grade 2 Explosive Bid Breeders' Cup Handicap at Fair Grounds, he never again finished off the board, earning nearly $300,000 in the four races that followed.
SUANCES captured the Grade 2 San Francisco Breeders' Cup Mile Handicap at Bay Meadows and the $250,000 Dallas Turf Cup Handicap at Lone Star Park, placed third in the Wickerr Handicap at Del Mar and ran fourth in the Grade 1 United Nations Handicap at Monmouth Park while posting a 103 Beyer Speed Figure. (For a turf writer's comments about his U.S. campaign, click here.)
SUANCES was a model of consistency. He retired with eight wins and two placings from 12 starts in Spain, France and the U.S., total earnings of $402,559 and championship laurels in France. In his Bay Meadows victory, he posted a 105 Beyer while beating the Grade 1-winning millionaires Sarafan and The Tin Man and the Grade 2 winner Decarchy.
SUANCES is a son of the champion racehorse Most Welcome (GB), a recently deceased grandson of Northern Dancer who is little known in this country but who is regarded as a major sire in Europe, where his offspring include champions in eight different countries. In North America, his runners include the graded stakes winners Eccentric (GB), Prize Giving (GB) and Call Me (GB).
SUANCES was represented by his first crop of runners in 2008. This group includes the Golden Gate Fields stakes winner Feisty Suances ($222,234), who also ran second in Santa Anita Park's 2009 San Felipe Stakes (G2), as well as the multiple winner Adam Suances ($155,680), who set a course record of 1:36.21 in a one-mile turf victory at Parx Racing in 2011.
SUANCES has overall progeny earnings of more than $1.4 million and average earnings per starter of more than $33,000 from five crops of racing age.
