The 2022 roster and fees for Highclere Stud have been released. Both Cable Bay (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) at £8,000 and Land Force (Ire) (No Nay Never) at £5,000, will stand for Oct. 1st SLF, with both fees unchanged from 2021. Cable Bay's eldest foals are just 4-year-olds, and he is already the sire of six black-type winners including Liberty Beach (GB), who also ran third in the G1 King's Stand S., fellow group winner Collinsbay (GB), and three-time Group 1 placed Dragon Symbol (GB).
G2 Richmond S. hero Land Force will stand his third season at the Newbury nursery and demand for the G2 Norfolk S. third remains high. One of his first foals is a son of Tidal Stream (GB) (Redoute's Choice {Aus}), herself a half-sister to Group 3 winner Reach For The Moon (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) and Thames Pageant (GB) (Dansili {GB}). The last-named is the dam of recent GII Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint heroine Twilight Gleaming (Ire) (National Defense {GB}).
“Cable Bay had another terrific year highlighted by multiple Group-1 performing sprinter Dragon Symbol,” said Highclere's Jake Warren. “He has produced two Group 1 horses from his first two crops and has sired 18 individual group and stakes horses worldwide to date. Land Force has produced some outstanding first foals this year from his first crop of 155 mares which we are very excited about, so much so that 70% of the 118 mares he covered in his second crop were supplied by breeders that used him in year one. Our 50/50 and Euros4Euros terms have been extremely popular and will be on offer again this year.”
