Land Force On The Move To Hedgeholme Stud

Land Force (Ire), who won the G2 Richmond S. and was fourth in the G1 Prix Morny, will stand at Hedgeholme Stud for £2,500, Jake Warren confirmed to the TDN. The former Highclere Stud-based stallion's eldest foals are now 3-year-olds.

Among his best runners to date is the stakes-placed Velox (Tur). A total of 130 mares were covered by the son of No Nay Never in 2023, and he had been due to stand at Highclere for £2,500 this term.

First Winner For Land Force At Nottingham

Highclere Stud's Land Force (Ire) (by No Nay Never) was the latest first-season sire to get off the mark on Friday as The King and Queen's Serried Ranks (GB) scored on debut in Nottingham's five-furlong Watch On Racing TV Maiden S. Tracking the early pace under Rob Hornby, the Ralph Beckett-trained 7-2 shot mastered the 4-6 favourite Desert Master (GB) (Blue Point {Ire}) approaching the furlong pole before staying on strongly to beat that rival by 3 3/4 lengths.

“He'll be better over six–he's a laid-back horse and he needed to be kept interested but galloped out strongly once he figured out what to do,” his rider said of the son of the dual listed-placed Pack Together (GB) (Paco Boy {Ire}). “It was a case of keeping him racing and competitive and that's how he's been trained at home. He's a big strong and heavy colt and all there. He's shown a bit of class and this is a minimum trip for him–he's done that on raw ability.”

 

The dam, who was placed in four listed contests, is a half to the dam of the dual Argentinian group 1 winner Victor Security (Arg) (Stormy Atlantic). The second dam is the stakes-placed New Assembly (Ire) (Machiavellian), a full-sister to the G1 Dubai Duty Free hero Right Approach (GB) related to The Queen's high-class runner and producer Highclere (GB). Pack Together's yearling filly is by Cable Bay (Ire).

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.”
