Haras de Beaumont

Prix Jean Prat winner Puchkine (Fr) will stand for a fee of €8,500 when he embarks on his first season at Haras de Beaumont in 2025, joining a roster headed by the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe hero Ace Impact (Ire), who will remain at a fee of €40,000. The Chehboub family, owners of Haras de Beaumont, purchased a 50 per cent share in Puchkine from his owner-breeder Alain Jathiere in July. Trained by Jean-Claude Rouget, the son of Starspangledbanner (Aus) was unbeaten in three races as a juvenile and...

Haras de Beaumont has welcomed the G1 Prix Jean Prat winner Puchkine (Fr) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}) to its stallion roster for 2025. He will stand for a fee of €8,500 at the Normandy farm alongside Arc winner Ace Impact (Ire), Intello (Ger), Sealiway (Fr), and Stunning Spirit (GB). The Chehboub family, owners of Haras de Beaumont, purchased a 50 per cent share in the three-year-old from his owner-breeder Alain Jathiere back in July. Trained by Jean-Claude Rouget, Puchkine was unbeaten in three races as a juvenile and won five of his...

The Chehboub family's Haras de Beaumont has purchased a 50 per cent share in last weekend's G1 Prix Jean Prat winner Puchkine (Fr) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}) from his owner-breeder Alain Jathiere.  The three-year-old colt, trained by Jean-Claude Rouget, was unbeaten in three races as a juvenile and has now won five of his eight starts. He is likely to be seen next in the G1 Prix Maurice de Gheest in Deauville on August 4. Last year, the Haras de Beaumont team made a similar strategic mid-season purchase when buying into Serge...

Alain and Gerard Wertheimer's Junko (GB) (Intello {Ger}--Lady Zuzu, by Dynaformer), who collected two Group 1 contests last term, encountered heavy ground for the first time in 17 career starts and prevailed, just, in a pulsating renewal of Sunday's G2 Grand Prix de Chantilly. The 23-10 favourite tanked forward from an early position in rear to stalk the tempo in second after steady initial exchanges. Inching closer in the straight to challenge at the quarter-mile marker, he was ridden to poach a decisive advantage passing the furlong pole and came under...

Haras de Beaumont's European champion three-year-old and Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Ace Impact (Ire) (Cracksman {GB}) has had his first three mares scanned in foal.  These include the 2023 G3 Prix Imprudence winner Showay (Fr) (Galiway {GB}) and the Listed winner and Group-placed Mixed Intention (Ire) (Elusive City), who has already produced the G1 Prix du Jockey-Club third Millebosc (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}) "Ace Impact is proving very popular with French and international breeders, and we are very grateful for the support. His first book is very exciting,"...

The stallion business, just like many other aspects of life in the racing world, is a cyclical one. Riding the high waves is easy, but arguably of most importance is to keep paddling away below the water line when things are a little flat. Keen observers of the French scene will detect a swell on the horizon. Following the untimely demise of Le Havre (Ire) and the sale to Coolmore of Wootton Bassett (GB), Siyouni (Fr) has been almost a lone head bobbing along in the elite waters, but the...

Alain and Gerard Wertheimer's Junko (GB) (Intello {Ger}--Lady Zuzu, by Dynaformer), who hit the board in July's G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud earlier this term, encountered just three rivals in Sunday's 12-furlong G1 Grosser Allianz Preis von Bayern at Munich and made virtually all to claim a career high in Europe's final Group 1 contest of the season. Last term's G3 Prix Noailles and this term's G3 Prix de Reux victor, third in ParisLongchamp's Oct. 15 G2 Prix du Conseil de Paris when last seen, was uncomfortable with an early...

Haras de Beaumont's new recruit, the top-rated 3-year-old Ace Impact (Fr) (Cracksman {GB}), will stand at an opening fee of €40,000. Unbeaten in six starts, the Jean-Claude Rouget-trained colt won the Prix du Jockey Club in record time and the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. "Ace Impact proved himself to be an exceptional athlete," said Haras de Beaumont manager Mathieu Alex of the dual Group 1 winner. "The recent victory of Big Rock (Fr), who was second to Ace Impact at Chantilly, yet again underscored the brilliance of his win...

Ace Impact (Fr) (Cracksman {GB}), the brilliant winner of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and Prix du Jockey Club, will not race on and is set to take up stud duties at his part-owner Kamel Chehboub's Haras de Beaumont from 2024. Speaking to TDN at Tattersalls, Chehboub said, "When we established Haras de Beaumont the idea was to target exceptional future stallions prospects. Ace Impact has won the French Derby, he's won the Arc, he's unbeaten. As we all know, to race on for another year is taking a...

From a January debut at Cagnes-sur-Mer to a jaw-dropping victory on France's biggest day of racing, the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Ace Impact (Ire) (Cracksman {GB}) has had quite the season and is now the hottest property in European racing.  We already know where he will stand at stud eventually since his part-sale after his victory in the Prix du Jockey Club to the Chehboub family's Gousserie Racing. Kamel and his daughter Pauline Cheboub will now decide with their partner and the colt's original owner Serge Stempniak and...

The Prix du Jockey Club winner Ace Impact (Fr) (Cracksman {GB}), who is currently the top-rated three-year-old in Europe, is to continue his racing career for a partnership which consists of his original owner Serge Stempniak and the Chehboub family. Upon his eventual retirement, he will stand at the Chehboub-owned Haras de Beaumont, close to Deauville. Unbeaten in four starts to date, Ace Impact set a new race record in winning his Classic for Stempniak and trainer Jean-Claude Rouget. From the first crop of Cracksman, who was one of the...

The G1 Champion S. and G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere winner will cover more than 120 mares in his debut season at the Chehboub family's new farm close to Deauville.   "He has started his new job well and we are delighted with his book of mares for his first season at stud," said Haras de Beaumont manager Mathieu Alex. Those mares to the son of Galiway (GB) include the Group 1-placed Forces...
