Standing at Haras de Montaigu
The European Champion older horse, bred on the same cross as Baaeed and Hukum. First crop led by G2 colt Birr Castle – and his second crop is doing even better with more than twice as many winners at the same stage, led by a G3 colt and a Stakes filly. Also excelling with his juvenile hurdlers: by early November he’d had more winners over jumps than any stallion in Europe with first-crop three-year-olds, including at Auteuil.
