Four-time Group 1-winning miler Ribchester (Ire) (Iffraaj {GB}-Mujarah {Ire}, by Marju {Ire}) will enter stud at Darley's Kildangan Stud in 2018 for a fee of €30,000. A limited number of breeding rights are available.
Ribchester, the highest-rated horse descended from Fall Aspen after Dubai Millennium, won the G1 Prix Jacques le Marois last year at three before adding this year's G1 Lockinge S., G1 Queen Anne S. and G1 Prix du Moulin de Longchamp. He has finished off the board just once in 15 starts, with a further six placings in Group 1s for Godolphin and trainer Richard Fahey.
Also new to Kildangan next year will be the G1 King's Stand S. winner Profitable (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), who will stand for €12,000. They join the likes of Shamardal, who remains private, and Teofilo (Ire) and Exceed and Excel (Aus), who head Kildangan's advertised fees at €40,000 and €50,000, respectively.
Darley's flagship sire Dubawi (Ire) once again heads the Dalham Hall Stud roster at £250,000. He will stand alongside three of his sons, including the four-time Group 1 winner Postponed (Ire), who stands his first season at £20,000. The G1 2000 Guineas winner Night Of Thunder (Ire) moves to Newmarket after previously standing at Kildangan.
