Mostahdaf (Ire), the joint top-rated horse in Europe in 2023, has had his first five mares tested in foal, Shadwell announced on Friday.
Trained by John and Thady Gosden, Mostahdaf retired with an impressive strike-rate having won 10 of his 17 career starts, including back-to-back Group 1 victories last year when he struck in the Prince Of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot and Juddmonte International at York. He is standing his first season at Beech House Stud in Newmarket in 2024 at a fee of £15,000.
Stephen Collins, Shadwell's European bloodstock manager, said, “We are delighted with how Mostahdaf has commenced his first book.
“He has been well-received by breeders as a horse with immense ability, good looks as well as an exceptional pedigree packed with natural speed. Mostahdaf is being supported by many leading breeders and will cover a high-quality first book.”
