Joe Callan Joins Whitsbury Manor Stud

Joe Callan has been appointed head of bloodstock and sales at Whitsbury Manor Stud, home of this year's leading first-season sire, Havana Grey (GB) and breeder of G1 Dewhurst S. winner Chaldean (GB) (Frankel {GB}).

Formerly with the National Stud in Newmarket, Callan has spent the past 12 months as interim general manager at Market Rasen Racecourse.

Stud director Ed Harper said, “I have been waiting a long time to identify the right candidate to help us grow our business and feel that Joe is the ideal person for this role. Joe's industry experience and superb communication skills will be a great asset to our clients, and I cannot wait for him to start. He's going to be busy.”

Having completed both the Irish National Stud diploma course and the Godolphin Flying Start, Callan has also spent time in Australia working for Gai Waterhouse and Arrowfield Stud, and closer to home at Baroda Stud and Colbinstown Stud.

“I am delighted to be joining the Whitsbury Manor team,” said Callan. “Ed and his team continuously produce top-class horses, as demonstrated by Chaldean this season, and they have amassed a very impressive stallion roster which is supported by some of the best breeders in Europe who I look forward to working with.

“It truly is a very exciting time for the stud as Showcasing consistently proves himself as an outstanding sire, and it is hard to think of a more promising stallion than Havana Grey. Due Diligence provides a consistent source of winners, while I am also very excited to see the first foals by Sergei Prokofiev enter the sales ring in the coming months.”
