Bay Bridge (GB) has been retired to stand at the Devin family's Haras du Mesnil in France, where he will join Doctor Dino (Fr) and Telecaster (GB) on the roster for 2024.
The Group 1-winning son of New Bay (GB) will stand for a fee of €6,000 while James Wigan and Ballylinch Stud are set to stay in as partners in the 5-year-old.
Bay Bridge won seven of his 16 starts for Sir Michael Stoute and reached a career-high rating of 122 in amassing almost £1.3 million in prize-money.
His career highlight came when winning the G1 British Champion S. at Ascot, where he downed the previously unbeaten Baaeed (GB), with Derby hero Adayar (Ire) also a noteworthy scalp.
Along with his victory at the highest level, Bay Bridge landed a pair of Group 3 contests over 1m2f and 1m4f, respectively. In winning the G3 Brigadier Gerard, Bay Bridge beat the high-class Mostahdaf (Ire) and Addeybb (Ire).
Bay Bridge is the fourth foal and one of three winners for his dam, the Multiplex (GB) mare Hayyona (GB), herself a half-sister to G2 Prix Eugene Adam winner Shimraan (Fr) (Rainbow Quest).
