Juvenile Group 1 winner Ebro River (Ire) (Galileo Gold {GB}–Soft Power {Ire}, by Balmont) will stand at Haras de la Haie Neuve in 2023, Jour de Galop reported on Saturday evening. The Al Shaqab Racing colourbearer's fee will be announced at a later date.
Bred by Tally-Ho Stud, the chestnut was sold for €75,000 during Book 2 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale to Charlie Gordon Watson on behalf of Al Shaqab. Trained by Hugo Palmer, Ebro River graduated at Doncaster at second asking in May of his 2-year-old year, and then won the Listed National S. at Sandown later that month. He scored the biggest win of his career in the Curragh's G1 Phoenix S., and was also third in the G1 National S. in his next start. Kept in training at three, the son of Soft Power won the Listed Queensferry S. His record stands at 15-4-0-1 and $294,567 in earnings. A half-brother to the stakes-placed Strong Power (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}), the colt is from the same family as dual Group 1-winning sprinter and sire Slade Power (Ire) (Dutch Art {GB}).
