Recorder (GB) has changed hands and will now stand at Longford House Stud in Ireland after transferring from Sumbe in France.
The move will see Recorder join Melbourne Cup winner Rekindling (GB), Rajsaman (Fr) and more at the County Tipperary stud.
Recorder raced just three times in a career that did not extend beyond a juvenile campaign. But it was a successful one to the extent that he carried the Queen's colours to victory in the G3 Acomb S. at York for trainer William Haggas.
He has sired four black-type performers all told, including Enola and Hot Queen, and stood in his final season in France at a fee of €3,000.
Sumbe Tweeted on Saturday, “Fair winds and following seas to Recorder who is leaving us after six great years of service at Haras de Montfort to stand in Ireland.
“Our gratitude goes to all the breeders who have supported him over the years and to the Royal Studs for their extended trust. So long, champ!”
