Haras de Beaumont has welcomed the G1 Prix Jean Prat winner Puchkine (Fr) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}) to its stallion roster for 2025. He will stand for a fee of €8,500 at the Normandy farm alongside Arc winner Ace Impact (Ire), Intello (Ger), Sealiway (Fr), and Stunning Spirit (GB).
The Chehboub family, owners of Haras de Beaumont, purchased a 50 per cent share in the three-year-old from his owner-breeder Alain Jathiere back in July. Trained by Jean-Claude Rouget, Puchkine was unbeaten in three races as a juvenile and won five of his nine starts.
A former TDN Rising Star, he is out of Vadyska (Ire) (So You Think {NZ}), an unraced half-sister to the Listed Diana-Trial winner Romina Power (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}), and descends from Meon Valley's celebrated foundation mare Reprocolor (GB) (Jimmy Reppin {GB}).
Mathieu Alex, stud director at Haras de Beaumont, said, “Puchkine is a magnificent looking horse with an excellent way of moving. He won G1 Prix Jean Prat over seven furlongs, just 0.20 seconds off the race record held by exciting leading young sire Too Darn Hot.
“Undefeated at two, he won all three of his races, including an impressive five-length victory on debut in June. By the remarkable Starspangledbanner, the sire of three Group 1 winners in 2024, Puchkine will be strongly supported by his current owners Messrs. Alain Jathière and Gérard Augustin-Normand, along with the Haras de Beaumont, which is always crucial to a stallion's success.”
He added, “Puchkine will start at fee of €8,500 and will be syndicated shortly. Everyone is very welcome to visit Puchkine at Haras de Beaumont located 10 minutess from the Arqana sales.”
Haras de Beaumont has also recruited a new member to its commercial team in Thibault de Seyssel.
“We are also pleased to welcome Thibault de Seyssel,” Alex said. “A familiar face to many, Thibault has a strong international experience and will assist breeders with matings and visits to Haras de Beaumont.”
