Prince A A Faisal's multiple Group 1 winner Mishriff (Ire) (Make Believe {GB}–Contradict {GB}, by Raven's Pass) will not cover mares in 2023, officials at Sumbe announced on Twitter Friday.
Winner of the 2020 G1 Prix du Jockey Club, Mishriff added the G1 Longines Dubai Sheema Classic and G1 Juddmonte International S. after a breathtaking success in a lone appearance on the dirt in the $20-million Saudi Cup. Mishriff was sidelined early this year, with Sumbe hopeful that he could begin his first season at stud, but time was called Friday.
“The Sumbe team regrets to inform that in the best interest of the horse, MISHRIFF will not commence stud duties this year,” the tweet begins. “Despite significant progress in his recovery, our veterinary team advised that all covering plans should be canceled or the remainder of this breeding season.”
From the damily of Invincible Spirit (Ire) and Kodiac (GB), Mishriff was to be offered at an introductory service fee of €20,000 in 2023.
