Sakheer (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}), the new stallion at Ballyhane Stud for 2025, will stand at a fee of €6,500 on Live Foal terms. He will cover a maximum of 140 mares.

The G2 Mill Reef Stakes winner, who raced for KHK Racing, arrived at the farm in Leighlinbridge recently. 

“Everyone on the farm loves him, he has a super temperament,” said Ballyhane's Joe Foley. “He's been here a few weeks now and he has settled in well. We can't wait to show him to breeders.

“We've had a fantastic reaction to the news that he is joining the Ballyhane roster. I must say I've never had so many phone calls about a stallion in such a short space of time.

He added, “We will be offering Live Foal terms and limiting his book to 140 mares as a sign of solidarity with breeders at a time of some uncertainly in the market.”
