Gutaifan on the Move to Haras des Faunes

MGSW & G1SP Gutaifan (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) will stand at Alain Chopard’s Haras des Faunes in 2021, France-Sire reported. Formerly at Yeomanstown Stud in Ireland, the grey’s oldest foals are 3-year-olds. He was purchased by Chopard and will stand for €3,500.

“He’s a horse that’s proven he can get 2-year-old winners,” said Chopard to France-Sire. He already has a lot of them. I was looking for a stallion of this type, and I was offered Gutaifan. He made a big impact this year with Fev Rover, who still beat Plainchant, one of our best 2-year-olds from France.”

In 2020, Gutaifan celebrated his first group winner with second-crop filly Fev Rover (Ire) in the G2 Prix du Calvados. He also has listed winners Sardinia Sunset (Ire) and Sopran Poseidone (Ire).
