Nickname's brother Nom De D'la moved to Haras de la Baie

Nom De D'la - a brother to Cyrname's sire Nickname and half-brother to Epatante's sire No Risk At All - will join the roster at Haras de la Baie for the 2021 breeding season.

The move further strengthens the roster at Baie, which also acquired the French 2,000 Guineas winner and sire Tin Horse for €34,000 at the Arqana Summer Sale last month through Yannick Fertillet.

A Grade 3 chase winner by Lost World, Nom De D'la was previously stationed at Elevage Figerro.

Among the mares he has covered are Good Time Girl, dam of the talented No Risk At All hurdler Gumball, and Cinecitta, whose son El Gringo is a force to be reckoned with over hurdles and fences.

"A large part of my mares will be covered by this tall and athletic stallion, who will be perfect for the regional jumping mare," André-Jean Belloir of Baie told France-Sire.

Baie, a stud farm which overlooks the stunning La Mont-Saint-Michel on the Normandy coast, also stands Kingfisher, Puit D'Or and Tiger Groom.
