The son of bluehen Magnificient Style (Silver Hawk)'s progeny excelled on the racecourse in 2021, and his five black-type winners were led by G1 Nassau S. heroine Lady Bowthorpe (GB) and GI EP Taylor S. victress Mutamakina (GB), who struck in Canada. Bubble Gift (Fr) earned a pair of Group 2 victories in France, and Spirit Ridge (GB) landed a Group 3 Down Under. Also with an Australian slant, the bay's Floating Artist (GB), who has placed twice at group level there, was fourth in the G1 Melbourne Cup last Tuesday. Overall, Nathaniel is the sire of five Group 1 winners, among them the sublime Enable (GB).

Group 1 winner Without Parole (GB) (Frankel {GB}) will stand his second season at Newsells Park at a fee of £8,000. The bay is winner of the G1 St James's Palace S.

Newsells Park Stud's General Manager, Julian Dollar said, “Once again Nathaniel has proven himself as one of the best and most reliable sources of middle-distance horses in Europe. With 20 Group 1 and 2 horses and over 50 Group/Stakes horses to his name, Nathaniel is the sire of five Group 1 winners, including three from a remarkable third crop, which includes the outstanding Nassau S. victress, Lady Bowthorpe and GI EP Taylor winner, Mutamakina in 2021.

“Nathaniel's stock has shown they act on all types of going and the all-weather, which is undoubtedly why his stock continue to be in such demand both domestically and internationally, as yearlings and also horses-in-training, giving owners and breeders significant residual value.

“Without Parole has let down into an absolutely stunning individual and as an emphatic winner of the G1 St James's Palace S., with an outstanding pedigree he is an extremely attractive stallion, even without the small fact that he is by Europe's champion sire-elect, Frankel.

“He was very well supported in his first year and once again, both Newsells Park Stud and his breeders, John and Tanya Gunther will be supporting him with quality mares in 2022.”

However, although we are confident there is much to look forward to, we remain acutely aware of the challenges recent times have presented. With that in mind, our fees have been designed to offer breeders what we feel is exceptional value for money.”

Tweenhills Stud's owner David Redvers said, “We are extremely excited to welcome Zoustar back to Tweenhills for his fourth Northern Hemisphere covering season. His first European yearlings received extremely high reviews and were bought by some of the very best trainers, breeze-up consignors and agents from around the world.

“Kameko covered an outstanding first book of mares last year and it was fantastic to see him supported by some of the very best breeders in Europe. Havana Gold's much anticipated 2019 crop certainly lived up to expectations with 28 individual 2-year-old winners; in fact, currently no sire in Britain has sired more 2-year-old winners than him this year. It was fantastic to see Lightning Spear's first crop of yearlings so well received at the sales and with his improved fertility, his fee of £5,000 offers tremendous value for those wanting to use this exceptionally talented, tough and durable son of the now-retired Pivotal (GB).”

All of the stallions barring Zoustar will be paraded for breeders at Longholes Stud in Newmarket during this year's Tattersalls December Mare Sale from Nov. 28-Dec. 1.
