Solid year for Cheveley Park Stud sires as leading operation releases prices

Cheveley Park Stud has released the 2023 fees for its four-strong roster of stallions, headed by dual Group 1 winner Ulysses whose first crops have made promising headway on the track.

Remaining unchanged at a fee of £10,000, the son of Galileo has sired six black type performers including Group 3 Ballysax Stakes winner and Irish Derby second Piz Badile, Listed Chesham Stakes winner and Vertem Futurity Trophy third Holloway Boy plus Listed Sir Henry Cecil Stakes winner Mighty Ulysses.

Twilight Son, the sire of Group winners Twilight Jet and Twilight Spinner as well as King's Stand Stakes second Twilight Calls, also remains unchanged at £7,000.

The two-time Group 1-winning sprinter is responsible for 12 stakes performers, of which three are Group winners with a further three Listed scorers.

Group 1 sire Mayson was ably represented by Group 3 Bengough Stakes and Wokingham Handicap winner Rohaan, also third in the Sprint Cup at Haydock, and will remain standing at a fee of £6,000.

The roster is completed by first-season sire Unfortunately, who stands at Springfield House Stud in Ireland.

The French champion two-year-old and son of Society Rock has made a promising start with his first juveniles, operating at a strike-rate of 44 per cent winners to runners. He will continue to breed at €3,500.

Bloodstock manager and head of nominations Matthew Sigsworth said: "It has been pleasing to see our stallions’ progeny have yet another solid year both on the track and in the sales ring. We have therefore decided to leave our fees unchanged for 2023.

"We feel our roster offers outstanding value and quality and, as always, we invite breeders to contact us directly to discuss their mares’ mating plans for 2023."
