Highclere Releases Land Force’s 2023 Fee

Land Force (Ire), a half-brother to dual Grade I winner Photo Call (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), will stand for an unchanged fee of £5,000 in 2023. From the family of Group 1 winners Auguste Rodin (Ire) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) and Victoria Road (Ire) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}), the 6-year-old son of No Nay Never won the G2 Richmond S. and was third in the G2 Norfolk S. as a juvenile. His oldest foals are yearlings and he will have his first runners in 2023.

“Land Force's fee will remain at £5,000 (Oct. 1, SLF) for the 2023 season,” said Highclere's Jake Warren. “His yearlings have sold extremely well this autumn averaging £36,008 which is seven times his stud fee. His highest price lot was 180,000gns and his incredible immediate family have produced two Group 1-winning 2-year-old colts this year in August Rodin and Victoria Road. Considering the strength of No Nay Never and Sioux Nation's progeny on the track, with this dominant sire line, his wonderful pedigree and good looking stock, Land Force is showing himself to be a very appealing bet for breeders looking for a big up.”

Group 1-Winning Juvenile Thunder Moon Retired To Haras De Bouquetot, As 2023 Roster Revealed

Group 1-winning juvenile Thunder Moon (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}–Small Sacrifice {Ire}, by Sadler's Wells) has been retired and will stand at Al Shaqab Racing's Haras de Bouquetot in 2023. The 'TDN Rising Star' will stand for €6,000 on their nine-strong roster next season and will be available for viewing at Bouquetot during the Arqana December Breeding Stock Sale.

Bred by Aidan and Annemarie O'Brien's Whisperview Trading, the colt was named a 'Rising Star' after his debut win at the Curragh and claimed the G1 National S. in his next outing before running third in the G1 Dewhurst S. Owned by Mrs. C C Regalado-Gonzalez, the Joseph O'Brien trainee was only a head shy of adding the G1 Prix Jean Prat to his resume at three, and he was also third in the G3 Gladness S. this term. He retires with a mark of 13-2-2-2 and $365,398 in earnings.

“Thunder Moon was defined by his natural class and strong turn-of-foot,” said O'Brien. “His performance in the G1 National S. really showcased this and his brilliance as a 2-year-old beating a field packed with Group 1 winners and future group performers. He also came within a whisker of winning the Prix Jean Prat the following year. We are really looking forward to training his progeny in the years to come.”

The son of Small Sacrifice is a half-brother to stakes winner Table Rock (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}). His third dam is the G1 Irish 1000 Guineas heroine Trusted Partner (Affirmed), dam of GI Matriarch S. heroine Dress To Thrill (Danehill) and her full-sister, the blue hen Polished Gem (Ire) (Danehill), the dam of eight stakes winners.

Haras de Bouquetot's Stud Manager Benoit Jeffroy said, “We're delighted to welcome Thunder Moon at Haras de Bouquetot for 2023. He is a precocious horse of 1m60 (15.3 hh) who has shown plenty of speed winning the National S. like Dubawi (Ire), Danehill Dancer (Ire) and Teofilo (Ire) did before him. We were looking for a Group 1 winner at 2 excelling over seven furlongs, not dissimilar to the profiles of recent French successes Wootton Bassett (GB) and Siyouni (Fr).”

Leading the Haras de Bouquetot roster is Zelzal (Fr), who has sired three stakes winners led by multiple graded winner Dolce Zel (Fr) and GIII Sweet Life S. heroine Ouraika (Fr), and is priced at €15,000. G1 Prix de l'Abbaye hero Wooded (Ire) has his first yearlings in 2023 and is €12,000. As previously announced, Group 1 sire Galileo Gold (GB) has moved to Bouquetot in a joint-venture with his former home, Tally-Ho Stud, and he will stand for €7,000, the same price as G1 Irish 2000 Guineas victor Romanised (Ire), who has his first yearlings. Group 1 winner and stakes-siring Al Wukair (Ire), G3 Molecomb S. scorer and G1 Middle Park S. third Armor (GB) expecting his first foals, and multiple Group 1 winner Ectot (GB) will each command €5,000. Rounding out the roster is Olympic Glory (Ire), the sire of 13 stakes winner, at €4,000.

Cheveley Park Stud Releases 2023 Roster

Ulysses (Ire) anchors the Cheveley Park Stud roster in 2023 at £10,000. His progeny include G3 Ballysax S. scorer Piz Badile (Ire) who was also runner-up in the G1 Irish Derby, as well as second-crop colt Holloway Boy (GB), the winner of the Listed Chesham S. at Royal Ascot and third in the G1 Futurity Trophy later in the year.

Twilight Son (GB) will stand for £7,000, while Mayson (GB)'s fee has been set at £6,000. Also standing for Cheveley Park is Unfortunately (Ire), who is based at Springfield House Stud in Ireland. His fee is €3,500. All fees are payable Oct. 1, special live foal terms.

Bloodstock Manager and Head of Nominations Matthew Sigsworth said, “It has been pleasing to see our stallions' progeny have yet another solid year both on the track and in the sales ring. We have therefore decided to leave our fees unchanged for 2023.

“The regally bred Ulysses has continued to make an encouraging start with his first two crops of runners. Highlighted by the group winning and Classic-placed Piz Badile, along with the Royal Ascot 2-year-old stakes winner Holloway Boy,

who was group placed on no less than four other occasions, including at Group 1 level. He now has Classic aspirations and is being aimed at the G1 2000 Guineas in May.

“Once again, Mayson is one of the leading sires of sprinters in Europe, headed by the group winner and Group 1-placed Rohaan (Ire). We believe Mayson continues to be one of the most consistent and best value sprint stallions standing in Europe.

“Twilight Son has enjoyed another excellent year, with seven black- type horses, including the group winners Twilight Jet (Ire) and Twilight Spinner (GB), as well as the leading sprinter and Group 1-placed Twilight Calls (GB).

“Unfortunately has made a most promising start with a 44% winners to runners strike rate with his first crop 2-year-olds, and he will once again stand at Springfield House Stud in Ireland, with Reddy and Linda Coffey.

'We feel our roster offers outstanding value and quality and, as always, we invite breeders to contact us directly to discuss their mares' mating plans for 2023.”
