NH Sire No Risk At All Taken Out of Service For 2023

Leading National Hunt sire No Risk At All (Fr) (My Risk {Fr}) will miss the remainder of the 2023 covering season after suffering an accident in a paddock at Haras de Montaigu in France.

According to the farm, the 16-year-old stallion, whose produce include G1 Aintree Hurdle and two-time G1 Christmas Hurdle winner Epatante, will be on box rest for a month and the farm hopes to have him in full readiness to resume his career in 2024.

Eagles By Day Joins Glenview Stud Roster

Eagles By Day (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}–Missunited {Ire}, by Galileo {Ire}), winner of the G3 John Smiths Silver Cup at York in 2020, has been acquired by Rathbarry & Glenview Studs from Clipper Logistics. The deal was brokered by Joe Foley. The 5-year-old will join the existing national hunt roster of Blue Bresil (Fr) (Smadoun {Fr}), Malinas (Ger) (Lomitas {GB}), Old Persian (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}, Shirocco (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}), Sholokhov (Ire) (Sadler's Wells) and Youmzain (Ire) (Sinndar {Ire}) at Glenview Stud for 2022.

Last seen finishing runner-up in the G3 Cumberland Lodge S. at Ascot in early October for trainer David O'Meara, Eagles By Day is a son of Sea The Stars, whose sons Affinisea and Crystal Ocean have been well received by national hunt breeders and foal buyers alike.

Eagles By Day's dam Missunited was a talented runner in her own right, winning 12 races under both codes, including the G3 Lillie Langtry S. and the valuable Guiness Galway Handicap Hurdle. Missunited earned black-type on no fewer than six occasions, including a narrow loss in the G1 Ascot Gold Cup and a third in the G1 Prix Royal Oak.

“Eagles By Day is an outstanding individual with plenty of size and substance,” said Paul Cashman of Rathbarry & Glenview Studs. “I'm confident he will prove a great attraction for Irish breeders.”

Weatherbys Launches Website For NH Sires

As a companion to its Global Stallions app and stallion books, Weatherbys has launched a new website, nhstallions.co.uk, which is devoted solely to National Hunt sires.

Listing around 100 jump stallions in Britain, Ireland and France, the site will be updated regularly with leading progeny and statistics.

“The launch of this new site is great news and I'm sure it will become the go-to resource for National Hunt breeders looking for regularly updated information dedicated to jumps breeding,” said Simon Sweeting of Overbury Stud, home to National Hunt sires Schiaparelli (Ger), Jack Hobbs (GB) and Frontiersman (GB).

His Irish counterpart John Flood of Boardsmill Stud added, “National Hunt breeders have been starved of good data and statistics for too long compared to Flat breeders. It's fantastic for them to have access to such important information.”

Great British Stallion Showcase Launched

The Great British Stallion Showcase 2021 was launched by the Thoroughbred Breeders' Association (TBA) and Great British Racing International (GBRI) on Monday.

The online format is due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic that prevented the TBA's Flat Stallion Parade and the National Hunt Stallion Showcase from taking place this year. Photos and videos of each participating stallion, as well as audio clips from stud managers, pedigree and fees are all available at www.greatbritishstallionshowcase.co.uk. In addition, the stallion pages also include the stallions' British EBF eligibility where appropriate. Following the theme of the live stallion parades, the Great British Stallion Showcase 2021 features first- and second-season Flat stallions and National Hunt stallions of all ages.

Claire Sheppard, Chief Executive of the TBA, said, “The TBA and GBRI are delighted to launch the Great British Stallion Showcase for 2021. While sadly the restrictions around Covid-19 have disrupted this year's renewals of our annual Flat Stallion Parade and National Hunt Stallion Showcase, we wanted to offer breeders the next best opportunity to explore and view the outstanding stallion offering in Britain this year.

“Our team at the TBA have liaised closely with stallion studs to source a range of visual and audio assets, while the GBRI team have successfully built a user-friendly, practical website which contains a wealth of information on each stallion. We are grateful for GBRI's expertise in creating this virtual showcase and we look forward to further promotion of the featured stallions over the coming weeks through behind-the-scenes footage and content across digital channels, including bespoke social media assets that have been provided to each stud involved.”
