Arrigo Becomes First Stallion for Chloe Roddick Racing

G2 Oppenheim-Union-Rennen winner Arrigo (Ger) has relocated from Yorton Farm Stud to Bullbrook Farm near Somerton for the 2024 breeding season, it was announced on Friday.

A half-brother to German champion sire Adlerflug (Ger), Arrigo has been leased from Yorton Stud and James and Jean Potter by Chloe Roddick and her husband Philip Maloney. Roddick and Maloney have experience of standing sport horse stallions and boarding mares at Bullbrook Farm, alongside running a breaking and pre-training operation.

“Standing a thoroughbred stallion has been a dream of ours for many years,” said Roddick. “To stand Arrigo, a beautiful stallion with an outstanding pedigree, makes that come true and more.

“We are based in an area of the country which is well-known for jumps racing and point-to-pointing, with some leading trainers and popular racecourses. Bringing Arrigo to this area opens up an opportunity for West Country breeders, but we will be delighted to talk to mare owners wherever they are based. The breeding season is up and running and we cannot wait to show Arrigo to prospective clients.”

Yorton Farm Stud's David Futter added, “It's very satisfying for us to have this opportunity to work with Chloe and Philip and to send Arrigo to an area of Britain which has a strong connection with jumps racing, point-to-pointing and breeding.

“In the three years he has been standing at Yorton he has covered some outstanding mares, including our own and those belonging to James and Jean Potter, and he has some lovely foals on the ground. He is very much still part of our team and we will continue to send mares to him.”

Arrigo will stand under the Chloe Roddick Racing banner at a fee of £2,000.

Arrigo Joins Yorton Farm Stud

Arrigo, a Shirocco (Ger) half-brother to Germany’s champion sire Adlerflug (Ger), has joined the roster of National Hunt stallions at Yorton Farm Stud in Wales.

Winner of the G2 Oppenheim-Union-Rennen and runner-up to Campanologist in the G1 Gran Premio Jockey Club Italiano, Arrigo, who is now 13, was bred by Gestut Schlenderhan. He has spent the last two seasons in France at Haras du Mazet and initially stood at Gestut Graditz in Germany after being retired from racing at the age of seven. His eldest runners have just turned four.

“It has taken us two years to secure Arrigo, but thankfully we have him now,” said David Futter of Yorton Farm Stud. “It is common for sons of successful Flat stallions to retire to stud, but it is difficult to acquire sons of quality jump sires.

“Stallions bred in Germany have always been very lucky for Yorton and our supporters, and this one comes from one of that country’s best female families. Standing 16.2hh, Arrigo is a wonderful-looking horse, he raced at the highest level and had the soundness and temperament to remain in training as a seven-year-old.”

He added, “He has been bought in partnership with the Potter family and will have the backing of our broodmare bands. Yorton’s policy is to support the stallions we stand, and it is our intention to buy his stock at the sales and also put them into training.” 

Arrigo joins fellow Monsun-line stallions Gentlewave (Ire) and Masterstroke in the Yorton stallion barn, along with Linda’s Lad (GB), Pether’s Moon (Ire) and Scalo (GB). Stud fees will be announced next week.
