Classic winner Study of Man (Ire) (Deep Impact {Jpn}–Second Happiness, by Storm Cat) has been retired and will stand his first season at Lanwades Stud in 2020, the stud announced on Monday. His fee will be revealed later. A Flaxman Stables homebred for the Niarchos Family, the Pascal Bary trainee scored in the 2018 G1 QIPCO Prix du Jockey Club, one start after his win in the G2 Prix Greffulhe at Saint-Cloud. A winner of his only start at two, Study of Man also filled the frame in a further five group races, among them the 2019 G1 Prix Ganay and G1 Prix d'Ispahan. He goes to stud with a mark of 11-3-3-2 and $1,353,967 in earnings.
“We are thrilled to see French Derby winner Study of Man join fellow Derby winners Sir Percy (GB) (Mark of Esteem {Ire}) and Sea The Moon (Ger) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), as well as Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint winner Bobby's Kitten (Kitten's Joy), at Lanwades.” said the stud's Owner and General Manager, Kirsten Rausing. “I am immensely grateful to Maria Niarchos Gouaze and the entire Niarchos Family for letting us have Study of Man at Lanwades.
“I very much look forward to our new joint venture with Study of Man, a really good-looking horse with exceptional presence, great racing performance and possessing a truly world-class pedigree. As a son and grandson of racing legends, he should make an outstanding addition to the worldwide breeding industry, contributing an outcross for many mares.”
