Docksider - Night Year, by Jareer
Brown, foaled 2001
Breeder: Gestut Wittekindshof
Other sons of Docksider at stud: -

The name Near Dock will not be too familiar to most British or Irish breeders, but he comes from one of the best German Classic families of recent times.

His dam, Night Year, is a half-sister to Night Petticoat, winner of the German Oaks and herself dam of the Champion Three-Year-Old Colt of 2002, the Derby winner Next Desert, and the Champion Three-Year-Old Filly of 2003, Next Gina, who won the Oaks. The immediate family has also produced Novelle, the joint Champion Three-Year-Old Filly in 1983 and also winner of the Oaks, and Night Music, the Champion Two-Year-Old Filly in 1975.

Near Dock won the Listed Preis der Hotellerie Baden-Baden and was second in the Group 2 Oettingen-Rennen and the Group 3 Badener Meile in his native country. In Ireland he was third in the Group 3 Mooresbridge Stakes and in England third in the Listed Magnolia Stakes.

German blood has really come to the fore again recently, both on the Flat and over jumps, and this horse could be a useful source of class from that country especially from the Sharpen Up sire line.
