Classic hero Flag Of Honour (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) will move to Ballycurragh Stud in Co Carlow for 2023, the stud announced on Tuesday. A stud fee for the former National Stud resident will be announced later.
Willie Murphy of Ballycurragh Stud said, “We are delighted to have Flag of Honour joining our stallion roster, he will be a great option for Irish breeders as a group-winning 2-year-old and Classic-winning 3-year-old. He is a superb physical with a great walk from a fantastic family. We have seen quite a few of his yearlings and they look very nice quality types.”
Flag Of Honour won the G3 Eyrefield S. at two, and went on to take the G2 Curragh Cup, G3 Irish St. Leger Trial, and G1 Irish St. Leger, as well at three. Kept in training at four, he ran second in the G3 Alleged S., G2 Mooresbridge S., and G1 Tattersalls Gold Cup. His eldest foals are yearlings of this year.
