Roman Candle (GB) (Le Havre {Ire}-Holy Dazzle {GB}, by Sunday Break {Jpn}), a winner at two before taking this year's G2 Prix Greffulhe, will become the first son of Le Havre to go to stud when he enters stud at Haras de la Hetraie in 2020, according to Racing Post. He will stand for €2,800.

“We're delighted to have the first son of one of the most successful stallions in France coming here,” Pascal Noue of Hetraie told Racing Post. “Not only is he a Group 2 winner who performed consistently in pattern company, he has a really interesting pedigree that provides a very useful and successful outcross to Danzig and Sadler's Wells.

“As important to me, though, is his conformation. When I saw him I fell in love with him; he is dark brown, the perfect height at 16.1 hands and oozes quality–he would win a top show class. I can't wait to show him to breeders, who have already shown a great deal of interest.”
