Grade 1 winner Bobby's Kitten will retire to Lanwades Stud in Newmarket for the 2017 breeding season and becomes the first son of Kitten's Joy to stand at stud in Europe.

The five-year-old, a homebred for Ken and Sarah Ramsey, is out of the winning Forestry mare Celestial Woods and is a brother to dual Grade 2 scorer Camelot Kitten and the winner Major Magic.

Bobby's Kitten began his career in America with Chad Brown and as a two-year-old he finished third on his debut before landing two races in a row, including in the Grade 3 Pilgrim Stakes at Belmont. He finished his juvenile year with a third-placed finish behind Outstrip in the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf.
