Champion sprinter Shaquille to stand for £10,000 at Ace Stud in 2026

Ace Stud has announced that champion sprinter Shaquille will stand at a fee of £10,000 for 2026, having been priced at £15,000 this year. 

Standing at Ace Stud on behalf of Yulong, Shaquille was crowned Cartier Champion Sprinter and the Longines World’s Best three-year-old sprinter in 2023. Trained by Julie Camacho, he landed the Commonwealth Cup and July Cup that year, having also landed the Listed Carnarvon Stakes at Newbury on his previous outing. 

Paul Curran, Ace Stud’s bloodstock and racing manager said: “Champion European sprinter Shaquille has been really well supported by top breeders since retiring to stud. He has covered more than 275 mares in his first two seasons, including Ace Stud’s own quality band of broodmares.

“We have reduced his fee and changed his covering terms to January 1st Special Live Foal in order to give breeders the opportunity to use an exciting young stallion at an attractive and affordable price.

“The feedback on his first foals has been very positive and we eagerly await them going through the sales ring at Goffs, Tattersalls and Arqana in the coming weeks. Exciting times lie ahead under our new Ace Stud banner and we look forward to breeders getting in touch with our team to discuss their breeding requirements for 2026."

Shaquille will be available to view at Ace Stud during the Tattersalls December Sales from November 29 to December 2 from 10am–3pm on the hour every hour.
