Seven-time Group 1 winner Stradivarius (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) has had his first mares scanned in foal at the National Stud.
“Stradivarius has taken to his new role extremely well.” said National Stud head of bloodstock Joe Bradley. “He has 11 mares scanned in foal and will cover well over 100 mares this year.”
Stradivarius claimed Group honours 18 times during his career retiring with total earnings of almost £3.5million, plus two individual £1million bonuses.
There are sizeable payouts on offer for breeders supporting Stradivarius, with £25,000 for his first ten 2-year-old winners. His first flat Group winners will boost their earnings by £100,000 for a Group 2/3 and £250,000 for a Group 1.*
