Unfortunately (Ire) (Society Rock {Ire}-Unfortunate {GB}, by Komaite), a winner of the G1 Prix Morny, will stand at Linda and Reddy Coffey's Springfield House Stud in Ireland in 2020, Racing Post reported. Also a winner of the G2 Prix Robert Papin, the Tally-Ho-bred colt's fee will be announced later. The 4-year-old stood his first season at Cheveley Park Stud, and he will stand in County Tipperary on behalf of Cheveley and Springfield House Stud in partnership. His sire, the late MG1SW sprinter Society Rock (Rock of Gibraltar {Ire}), spent three seasons at Tally-Ho Stud in Ireland.
“As with all the Cheveley Park stallions, we'll be supporting him with our own broodmare band as well as at the sales,” said Cheveley Park Stud Managing Director Chris Richardson to Racing Post. “We've a long and successful relationship with the Fitzsimons/Coffey family who care for our bloodstock in Ireland we look forward to standing Unfortunately in partnership with them. In addition, Unfortunately's sire Society Rock has had exceptional results from the mares he covered at Tally-Ho Stud and the pool of mares available to him in Ireland will provide him with increased opportunities to become a successful son of his sire.”
Added Springfield House's Reddy Coffey, “It's a great opportunity for Irish breeders to use a Group 1-winning son of Society Rock who was precocious and fast.”
