Sir Prancealot (Ire) (Tamayuz {GB}), the European champion freshman sire of 2016, is to shuttle to Cornerstone Stud in South Australia for the 2017 Southern Hemisphere breeding season.
He will join his Tally-Ho Stud resident Zebedee (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) and fellow Irish shuttler Free Eagle (Ire) (High Chaparral {Ire}) on the roster at the Hayes family's farm at Angaston.
“The O'Callaghans have been a pleasure to deal with, and with the ongoing assistance of Johnny and Susie McKeever, we are delighted to be standing another leading sire for Tally-Ho Stud,” said Sam Hayes.
“It takes something special to beat the likes of Frankel in a sires' premiership. Sir Prancealot and Zebedee are upgrading mares with exceptional consistency and that is one of the benefits of breeding to proven stallions.”
Sir Prancealot raced solely as a 2-year-old, winning three of his six starts, culminating in the G2 Flying Childers S. at Doncaster. He has made an explosive start to his stud career, siring 32 winners of 46 races in 2016, including former British-trained Group 3 winner Madam Dancealot (Ire), who sold for €260,000 at Goffs' Champions Sale in September and is now trained in America by Richard Baltas for Slam Dunk Racing.
Cornerstone Stud will announce a fee in March for Sir Prancealot, who is standing this season at Tally-Ho Stud for €8,000.
