RAHAAM (by Secreto) was a minor winner but a broodmare of considerable influence. A half-sister to the classic-placed miler Glory Forever (by Forever Casting) and from the immediate family of top-level stars such as Royal And Regal (by Vaguely Noble; classic sire) and Dowsing (by Riverman; sire of a Group 1 winner), she has a long and diverse list of pattern-winning descendants.

Cross Counter (by Teofilo), Halfway To Heaven (by Pivotal), Photo Call (by Galileo), Rhododendron (by Galileo) and last year’s standout Magical (by Galileo) have won at the highest level, whereas Verglas (by Highest Honor; sire of Group 1 winners) and his dam Cassandra Go (by Indian Ridge) were placed in Group 1 company. Just those brief highlights show that a high-class colt from this family has potential to become a successful sire, and as Land Force also has the attraction of being one of the first sons of No Nay Never (by Scat Daddy) to go to stud, it looks odds-on that he will be very popular in his new role.
