Group 3 winner Peace Envoy (Fr) (Power {GB}–Hoh My Darling {GB}, by Dansili {GB}), has been retired to Worsall Grange Stud in North Yorkshire for the 2018 season. Off the mark at first asking over the Dundalk all-weather, the Aidan O'Brien trainee was back on top two starts later in the Listed Rochestown S. in 2016. After a runner-up finish in the G2 Railway S., he captured his biggest win in the G3 Anglesey S. at The Curragh in July of that year, before placing third in the G1 Prix Morny switched to France later on. All told, the dark bay saluted the judge three times from 13 starts and earned $180,609. The former Coolmore runner will stand for £2,000.
“He's a big, strong, good looking horse,” said Worsall Grange's Aaron Anderson. “Peace Envoy showed speed and class on the track and we hope he will be well received by breeders.”
Bred by Team Hogdala in France, Peace Envoy is a half-brother to Swedish champion Our Last Summer (Ire) (Zamindar), as well as G3 Prix des Chenes third Kadyny (GB) (Zamindar). His winning dam is a half-sister to GSP Everlasting Love (GB) (Pursuit of Love {GB}), while his third dam is a half-sister to the outstanding international champion Dahlia (Vaguely Noble {Ire}).
