new UK stallion | Horse Racing Free Tips

Dual Group 1 winner Belardo (Ire) will move to Bearstone Stud in Shropshire for the 2023 breeding season. A former Darley stallion, he will stand for £6,500 next year.

The son of Lope De Vega (Ire) already has eight stakes winners worldwide with six of them successful at group level. Isabella Giles (Ire) won the G2 Rockfel S. and G3 Prestige S., while both Bellabel (Ire) and Gold Phoenix (Ire) won graded races at Del Mar in California. The former was also second in the GI Del Mar Oaks and third in the GI Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup. Lullaby Moon (GB), Elysium (Ire), and Verona (NZ) are his other group winners.

Terry Holdcroft, owner of Bearstone Stud, said, “We are delighted that Darley has entrusted us with a stallion who

has made such a promising start at stud and was bred to 215 mares in the last two years. We purchased breeding rights in Belardo when he retired and were rewarded with Lullaby Moon. As a son and grandson of two exceptional stallions and with a ratio of group winners to runners that compares favourably with many of the best stallions at stud today, we are confident Belardo will prove extremely popular with British breeders.”

Dream Ahead (Diktat {GB}), the sire of Breeder' Cup heroine Glass Slippers (GB), will move to Bearstone Stud in 2022. The sire of 32 black-type winners worldwide will command £7,500 (Oct. 1 SLF).

A winner of five Group 1 races including the G1 July Cup and G1 Middle Park S., the 13-year-old first stood at Ballylinch Stud in Ireland in 2012 and later moved to Haras de Grandcamp in France in 2016. He also spent several seasons in Australia and has Group 2 winners Phobetor (Aus) and Shumookh (Aus) to his credit in that hemisphere. His 13 group winners are led by a quartet of Group 1 winners and besides his three-time Group 1 winner Glass Slippers, has dual Group 1 winner Dream of Dreams (Ire), and young sires Donjuan Triumphant (Ire) who won the G1 British Champions Sprint S. and G1 Prix Jacques Le Marois victor Al Wukair (Ire). From his Northern Hemisphere crops, the bay has sired the winners of 672 races who have earned more than £12.5 million.

Bred by Darley in Kentucky, Dream Ahead is out of Group 2 winner Land of Dreams (GB) (Cadeaux Genereux {GB}) and will stand alongside Washington DC (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}) at Bearstone.

Terry Holdcroft, owner of Bearstone Stud, said, “We are delighted to be working with Ballylinch Stud and extremely proud they have entrusted us with such a high-class stallion as Dream Ahead. His record as a sire of Group 1 sprinters speaks for itself and it will be a pleasure to have him at the stud alongside his daughter Glass Slippers who has given us so many treasured memories during the last few years. It is also particularly good news that a stallion of his quality will be available to British breeders, and we are confident he will prove extremely popular with our clients.”
