The former Andre Fabre charge will command the second-highest price on the roster, with popular local dirt sire Pyro at ¥2.5-million. They stand alongside American Grade I winner American Patriot (War Front) and Group 1 sires Discreet Cat and Admire Moon (Jpn) at ¥1.5-million; G1 Dubai World Cup winner Monterosso (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) at ¥1-million and popular winner-getter Furioso (Aus) at ¥500,000.
Shotato Kajiya, Darley Japan nominations manager, said, “We are delighted to offer Japanese breeders a more powerful lineup of stallions than ever, with an exciting new addition in Breeders' Cup winner Talismanic, who looks to be a fine fit for Japan. I am very happy that he is joining our stallion roster.
“We have already had significant interest in our 2019 stallion roster, especially Pyro, Admire Moon, and Furioso, all of whom have enjoyed an excellent year on the racecourse. We appreciate the support of our breeders and look forward to another busy season at the stallion complex.”
