Marie's Diamond (Ire) (Footstepsinthesand {GB}), the new resident at Diamond Stud Bellewstown, has had his first mares scanned in foal.
These include Grain De Beaute (Ire) (Lawman {FR}), a half-sister to the Group 3 winner and black-type producer Beyond Desire (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), and Ilulisset (Fr) (Rock Of Gibraltar {Ire}), a half-sister to four black-type runners.
Diamond Stud Bellewstown's Ciarán De Barra said, “We're delighted with how Marie's Diamond has been received. He's obviously a very good-looking horse, who had an exceptional racing career and breeders have been taken with him. We're being supported by some great breeders who are brave enough to support a new independent outfit like ours and we're very grateful for that.”
The eight-year-old stallion has a bonus scheme in place for his first season, with a €25,000 Diamond Breeders' Bonus going to the breeder of his first juvenile winner and group winner in Ireland or Britain.
