Grade 2 winner El Kabeir will join Morpheus, a half-brother to international superstar Frankel, in relocating to Italy for the 2023 breeding season, Racing Post reports.
El Kabier, a 10-year-old son of Scat Daddy, previously stood at Yeomanstown Stud in Ireland, where his runners included Italian Group 2 winner Don Chicco. He comes to Italy through Renew Italian Breeding, a business group including countrymen Mattia Cadrobbi, Marco Bozzi and Guido Berardelli.
During his on-track career, El Kabeir won five of 20 starts racing for owner Zayat Stables and trainer Bill Mott. He won the Grade 2 Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes as a 2-year-old, and he came back at three to win the G3 Jerome Stakes and G3 Gotham Stakes.
Morpheus, a 12-year-old son of Oasis Dream, will stand at Scuderia Melissa Cipriani – Allevamenti della Berardenga for an advertised fee of €3,500.
Morpheus began his racing career in England, where he was a three-time winner as a Juddmonte Farms homebred. He was then moved to Mott's U.S. barn, where he went winless in a quartet of allowance optional claiming races.
