Cloth Of Stars

€4,000 B 2013 16.0HH (1.62M)
Sea The Stars – Strawberry Fledge (Kingmambo)
Payment on Live Foal (conditions apply). 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.
