The first reported foal for four-time Group 1 winner Luxembourg is a colt born at Cleaboy Stud and Coppice Farm.
Out of Raffles Monte (Martaline), the bay was bred by Sean Gorman. The dam is a half-sister to Grade 3-winning hurdler Raffles Sainte (Saint Des Saint), out of listed-winning chaser Loxlade (Sholokhov) and from the family of French Champion Hurdle winner Vaporetto (Lear Fan).
“Right colour, right physical, we couldn't be happier with him,” said Gorman.
Luxembourg, by Camelot, was a Group 1 winner every year from two through five, taking the Futurity Trophy Stakes, the Irish Champion Stakes, the Tattersalls Gold Cup and the Coronation Cup. He stands at The Beeches Stud for €6,000 this season under the Coolmore National Hunt banner.
