“I loved the Almanzors at the yearling sales last year,” St Lawrence said. “I think he'll be the stallion of this generation. We bought two Almanzors, a colt and a filly [lots 158 and 185 at Arqana's Deauville Select Sale]. There is a colt out of Minakshi (Fr) (Footstepsinthesand {GB}) who is with Ger Lyons; he's our first horse in Ireland. He is a lovely colt and I know Ger is very happy with him. He's not going to be early but he looks a nice type.

“For [leading] first-season sire, I'm going to go with Ribchester (GB). I thought they were nice types. I don't think they'll be early early, but I'd like to think they'll be out in July in time to make an impact. We bought one and we have a homebred out of Shumoos (Distorted Humor), who was second in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Sprint.”
