His fellow resident Twilight Son (GB) will stand at £6,000, which is also a small reduction from his fee for this year.

Twilight Son covered 35 mares this year, while Ulysses covered 50.

The G1 Prix Morny winner Unfortunately (Ire), who is based at Springfield House Stud in Ireland and is the sire of the G1 Prix de l'Abbaye runner-up and dual listed winner Perdika (GB), is priced at €3,000 for 2024.

In releasing the fees for the stallions, Cheveley Park Stud also confirmed the retirement of Dutch Art (GB).

Matthew Sigsworth, Cheveley Park Stud's bloodstock manager and head of nominations, said, 'We feel our stallions offer both outstanding value and opportunity for anyone wanting to breed either a Classic performer or a precocious Royal Ascot 2-year-old.

Ace Impact To Stand At €40,000

Haras de Beaumont's new recruit, the top-rated 3-year-old Ace Impact (Fr) (Cracksman {GB}), will stand at an opening fee of €40,000. Unbeaten in six starts, the Jean-Claude Rouget-trained colt won the Prix du Jockey Club in record time and the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.

“Ace Impact proved himself to be an exceptional athlete,” said Haras de Beaumont manager Mathieu Alex of the dual Group 1 winner.

“The recent victory of Big Rock (Fr), who was second to Ace Impact at Chantilly, yet again underscored the brilliance of his win in the French Derby, which he won by 3.5 lengths. His lightning turn of foot, coupled with his warrior mindset, combined to make him an outstanding performer. He has a lot going for him to as regards becoming a top-class stallion. We are very grateful to the early support received by European breeders. The fact that he is beginning his stallion career in France at Haras de Beaumont is a very positive news for our country.”

Ace Impact's stud-mate Intello (Ger) will remain at a fee of €8,000 in 2024. The son of Galileo (Ire) covered 125 mares in his first year at Haras de Beaumont.

“That's one of the biggest 'books' of his stallion career,” Alex said. “The ratio of his progeny gaining black type per runner (10.6%) ranks as one of the best in France in the proven sires' division.

“The sire of 41 stakes performers, Intello has enjoyed another fine year in 2023. His yearlings have sold for as much as €135,000 this year, which is proof positive of the confidence levels in which the professionals have in him.”

Beaumont is also home to the dual Group 1 winner Sealiway (Fr) whose pedigree received a further boost over the weekend when his full-brother Sunway (Fr) (Galiway {GB}) won the G1 Critérium International (Gr1). Sealiway was the busiest stallion in France this year, covering 166 mares in his first book, and will remain at the same fee of €12,000 in 2024.

“Sealiway was crowned French champion 2-year-old following an easy win in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere, and he was also one of Europe's top 3-year-olds, having finished second in the Prix du Jockey-Club won by St Mark's Basilica (Fr). Furthermore, his victory in the Champion S. at Ascot left a lasting impression,” said Alex.

“Haras de Beaumont has supported Sealiway from day one and will continue to do so as we have great faith in him.”

Completing the line-up is the Group 3-winning miler Stunning Spirit (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), who will have his first runners in 2024 and will stand at a fee of €3,000.

“The 2024 season will be an important one for Stunning Spirit,” Alex added. “We are very pleased with his yearlings that have gone to trainers. The feedback emanating from various professionals is very positive, and we can't wait to see his first 2-year-olds on the racecourse.”

Almanzor Leads Haras d’Etreham 2021 Roster

Champion and MG1SW Almanzor (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), who will have his first 2-year-olds in 2021, leads the Haras d’Etreham roster at €30,000, the French stud announced on Sunday. Also a shuttle stallion to Cambridge Stud in the Southern Hemisphere, a 1/50th share in the Cartier champion 3-year-old colt of 2016 was bought for €310,000 at the Arqana Online Sale this past Wednesday and his yearlings have been well received, selling for up to €280,000.

Joining him at €30,000 is Persian King (Ire) (Kingman {GB}-Pretty Please {Ire}, by Dylan Thomas {Ire}), who will cover his first mares in 2021. A winner of the G1 French 2000 Guineas, G1 Prix d’Ispahan and G1 Prix du Moulin, the 4-year-old’s final race was a good third in the G1 Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. Another new stallion at d’Etreham is MG1SW Hello Youmzain (Fr) (Kodiac {GB}), who will also shuttle to Cambridge Stud in New Zealand alongside Almanzor. Successful in the G1 Betfair Sprint Cup and G1 Diamond Jubilee S., he will command €25,000.

Second-season sire City Light (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) will remain at €7,000 after receiving 137 mares in 2020, over one-third of them black-type performers or producers. The Flat roster is rounded out by Scissor Kick (Aus) (Redoute’s Choice {Aus}) at €5,000. His oldest foals will be 3-year-olds in 2021.

In the National Hunt sphere, Haras d’Etreham boasts a quartet in 2021 led by established sire Saint des Saints (Fr) (Cadoudal {Fr}) at €15,000. Haras d’Etreham will also stand a jumps trio at Haras de la Tuilerie– Masked Marvel (GB) (Montjeu {Ire}) at €5,000, Goliath du Berlais (Fr) (Saint des Saints {Fr}) at €7,500 and new stallion and G1 Irish Derby hero Latrobe (Ire) (Camelot {GB}-Question Time {GB}, by Shamardal) at €4,000.

“I would like to take advantage of this announcement of our stallion feed to reconfirm our policy of limiting our sires to 140 mares,” said d’Etreham’s Nicolas de Chambure. “This seems to us to be the best way to respect and support breeders who place their trust in our stallions. This allows them, during this uncertain period, to be assured of a certain exclusivity and value of their progeny on the market. In a competitive context, pricing policy does not suffice. Breeding and stallion management are activities which must be considered with a long-term view.”
