G2 Oppenheim-Union-Rennen winner Arrigo (Ger) has relocated from Yorton Farm Stud to Bullbrook Farm near Somerton for the 2024 breeding season, it was announced on Friday.
A half-brother to German champion sire Adlerflug (Ger), Arrigo has been leased from Yorton Stud and James and Jean Potter by Chloe Roddick and her husband Philip Maloney. Roddick and Maloney have experience of standing sport horse stallions and boarding mares at Bullbrook Farm, alongside running a breaking and pre-training operation.
“Standing a thoroughbred stallion has been a dream of ours for many years,” said Roddick. “To stand Arrigo, a beautiful stallion with an outstanding pedigree, makes that come true and more.
“We are based in an area of the country which is well-known for jumps racing and point-to-pointing, with some leading trainers and popular racecourses. Bringing Arrigo to this area opens up an opportunity for West Country breeders, but we will be delighted to talk to mare owners wherever they are based. The breeding season is up and running and we cannot wait to show Arrigo to prospective clients.”
Yorton Farm Stud's David Futter added, “It's very satisfying for us to have this opportunity to work with Chloe and Philip and to send Arrigo to an area of Britain which has a strong connection with jumps racing, point-to-pointing and breeding.
“In the three years he has been standing at Yorton he has covered some outstanding mares, including our own and those belonging to James and Jean Potter, and he has some lovely foals on the ground. He is very much still part of our team and we will continue to send mares to him.”
Arrigo will stand under the Chloe Roddick Racing banner at a fee of £2,000.
