Rathbarry Roster And Fees Announced

Acclamation (GB) will stand for €25,000 in 2024, tops for the Rathbarry Stud roster, the stud announced on X.

The sire of 67 stakes winners, he covered 62 mares this term. In 2023, the 24-year-old sired five stakes winners, including G1 Cox Plate winner and Hong Kong wunderkind Romantic Warrior (Ire). Other stars include Group 3 winners Garrus (Ire) and Orne (Ire), in the G3 Abernant S. and G3 Horris Hill S., respectively.

Joining Acclamation is second-year sire State Of Rest (Ire), who will stand for a slightly lower fee of €20,000. The globetrotting multiple Group 1 winner–who won the G1 Cox Plate–bred 115 mares this year at €25,000. Group sire Kodi Bear (Ire) remains at €15,000 after covering a roster-best 161 mares this term.

Rounding out the Rathbarry roster is new recruit Bouttemont (Ire) at €5,000. The 2022 G3 Prix de Meautry hero won the Listed Prix Hampton earlier this year and ended his campaign with a second in the G3 Mercury S. at Dundalk.

Al Shaqab’s Orne Makes All For Horris Hill Triumph

Al Shaqab Racing's Orne (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}–Pellucid {GB}, by Excelebration {Ire}) followed up a Sept. 22 debut success at Kempton with a fourth over one mile in last month's G3 Autumn S. and regained the winning thread with a pillar-to-post victory in Saturday's rescheduled G3 Betfred Horris Hill S. at Newmarket.

The 10-1 chance was swiftly into stride and tanked along on the front end through halfway. Nudged along passing the quarter-mile marker, he came under sterner urging approaching the final furlong and, despite drifting left in the closing stages, was driven out to prevail by 1 1/4 lengths from Witness Stand (GB) (Expert Eye {GB}).

“It wasn't the plan to make the running as I wanted to drop in, get a lead and get there late,” revealed rider Rab Havlin. “He was last in [the stalls] and first out, but normally he doesn't do a stroke when he is in front. I went on a fresh bit of ground and he found a rhythm. Towards the finish he got a little bit lonely and ducked left, but he has done it well in the end. He travelled good and handled the ground [behind Ancient Wisdom] in the Autumn S. [last time], but just didn't stay and he could get quicker over the winter. It is nice to get another Group winner on the board before the end of the season as I was running out of time.”

Pedigree Notes

Orne, full-brother to a gelded yearling and a weanling filly, is the second of four foals and lone winner produced by G3 Dick Poole Fillies' S. third Pellucid (GB) (Excelebration {Ire}). The February-foaled bay's dam is a half-sister to G2 Solonaway S. and G3 Jersey S. victor Space Traveller (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}), who also hit the board in the GI Woodbine Mile, GI Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational and GI Frank E Kilroe Mile. Orne's third dam Snow Crystal (Ire) (Kingmambo) is kin to five stakes performers, namely G1 Fillies' Mile heroine Crystal Music (Nureyev), G1 Irish Derby third Tchaikovsky (Ire) (Sadler's Wells), the dual Group 1-placed G3 Lancashire Oaks victrix State Crystal (Ire) (High Estate {Ire}), G3 John Porter S. victor Dubai Success (GB) (Sadler's Wells) and G3 May Hill S. winner and G1 Prix Marcel Boussac third Solar Crystal (Ire) (Alzao). Solar Crystal, in turn, is the dam of G1 Racing Post Trophy placegetter Feared In Flight (Ire) (Hawk Wing).

French Sprinter Bouttemont To Stand At Rathbarry Stud 

French-trained sprinter Bouttemont (Ire), acquired by a syndicate headed by Kevin Blake and Jack Cantillon, will retire to Rathbarry Stud at the end of the season. A fee will be announced later.

Bouttemont will stand alongside his sire Acclamation (GB) at Rathbarry and will bid to enhance his stallion credentials in the Flying Five and Prix de l'Abbaye for trainer Yann Barberot and his new connections.

Paul Cashman of Rathbarry Stud commented, “We have followed Bouttemont's career with great interest with him being a son of Acclamation. He showed just how good he is in the Prix Hampton at Chantilly in June and we'll all be hoping he can repeat that level of form in the G1 Flying Five S. and the G1 Prix de l'Abbaye before he joins us.”

“He is a particularly good-looking horse that is strikingly similar to Acclamation and has the same wonderful temperament as him, so the case for him is a compelling one. We are delighted to partner with Jack and Kevin who are sure to bring a lot of energy and innovative thinking to the project. Acclamation has been an incredible sire for Rathbarry and our clients over the years, so we are sure that his son Bouttemont will be very warmly received here next year.”
