G3 Marble Hill S. winner and G1 Middle Park S. runner-up Castle Star (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}) will stand his first season at Capital Stud for a fee of €5,000. Breeding rights are available.
His stud-mate Alkumait (GB) (Showcasing {GB}), a Group 2-winning half-brother to 2,000 Guineas winner Chaldean (GB) (Frankel {GB}), will remain at €5,000. He covered 121 mares this year and has his first foals at the sales from later this month.
“Castle Star has settled in well to life at Capital Stud, he is letting down well, has an exceptional temperament and conformationally we can't fault him,” said stud manager Ger O'Neill. “We've already received plenty of interest, with some breeders already booked in. We are excited for the 2024 breeding season ahead and welcome breeders to come to see him.
“Alkumait has been very well supported in his first two seasons at stud and his first foals look the part. We look forward to seeing them at the upcoming foal sales and would like to wish all our clients well for sales ahead.”
