Classic hero Romanised retired to join Haras de Bouquetot roster
Irish Guineas and Marois winner will stand for €7,000
Robert Ng's Irish 2,000 Guineas and Prix Jacques le Marois winner Romanised has been retired from racing to stand under the Al Shaqab Stallions banner at Haras de Bouquetot in France.
The son of Holy Roman Emperor has had a fine career with Ken Condon, making a two-year-old winning debut and later finishing runner-up in the Solario Stakes at Sandown to subsequent Derby winner Masar.
As well as his Classic success at the Curragh and Group 1 triumph in France at four, he twice landed the Group 2 Minstrel Stakes at the Curragh and was second to Circus Maximus in an eventful Prix du Moulin.
Ken Condon said: "From when he first commenced fast work in the spring of his two-year-old year, Romanised showed that precocity, speed and class that were the hallmarks of his racing career.
"His biggest attributes were his superior cruising speed and an electric turn of foot. Coupled with his impeccable physique, Romanised is possessed of many of the prerequisites to be a success at stud."
Haras de Bouquetot’s stud manager Benoit Jeffroy added: "We’re delighted to be given the opportunity to stand a dual Group 1 winning miler with such eye-catching looks as Romanised, who will be a valuable addition to the Al Shaqab stallion roster at Haras de Bouquetot for the 2021 season.
"He is a well-balanced horse, with strong hind quarters, a great athleticism and good muscle definition. For a horse matching performances, pedigree and looks, his stud fee of €7,000 live foal should prove a great value to the European breeders."
