Latrobe (Ire) (Camelot {GB}-Question Times {GB}, by Shamardal), winner of the 2018 G1 Irish Derby for trainer Joseph O'Brien, will join Haras d'Etreham's roster of jumps stallions at Haras de la Tuilerie for 2021.
After his Irish Derby win Latrobe would go on to be second in the G1 Irish St Leger and the G1 Mackinnon S. in Australia that season. He was a consistent pattern race performer in Europe last year at four, winning the G3 Ballyroan S. and placing in the G3 Alleged S. and G2 Curragh Cup.
Etreham's Nicolas de Chambure said, “We are very pleased to acquire Latrobe for his stallion career. We were searching for a top-class flat performer following the arrival on the French breeding scene of several Auteuil performers such as Goliath du Berlais. It is important to offer a variety of complementary stallion profiles to breeders. For example, the success of Poliglote demonstrated the value of Derby horses bringing an influence of speed and acceleration to French jumps broodmares. Latrobe fulfills this demand perfectly. He is a magnificent son of Camelot, who ran at two years old before winning the Irish Derby at three. He displayed great courage and a wonderful temperament when travelling successfully abroad. We invite breeders to view the stallion at the Haras de la Tuilerie.”
