First Mares Scanned In Foal to Shaquille

Shaquille (GB), the top-rated sprinter in Europe in 2023, has had his first three mares scanned in foal, Dullingham Park announced on Thursday.

Trained by Julie Camacho, Shaquille won seven of his nine career starts–notably landing the G1 Commonwealth Cup and G1 July Cup as a three-year-old–before retiring to Dullingham Park where he is standing his first season in 2024 at a fee of £15,000.

“We are delighted at the start that Shaquille has made to his new career,” said Dullingham Park's Ollie Fowlston. “He has 150 mares booked into him for his first season and has been full for some time now.

“Among the mares in foal are a winning sister to top-class two-year-old Anjaal and a Stakes producing daughter of Acclamation. He has a very good first book of mares and we couldn't be more grateful for the support that we have received from European breeders.”
