Yucatan (Ire), a son of Galileo (Ire) and treble Group 1 winner Six Perfections (Fr) (Celtic Swing {GB}), will stand at Lack Stallion Station in Poland in 2021.

The 6-year-old has been bought by the government-owned stud and will start his career at a fee at €1,500. 

Trained by Aidan O'Brien, Yucatan was runner-up in both the G1 Racing Post Trophy and G2 Beresford S. as a juvenile and went on to win a Group 3 at the Curragh as a 4-year-old before victory in the G2 Herbert Power S. in Australia.

The Polish stallion ranks have also been boosted by the arrival of the former Team Valor-owned Va Bank ( Ire) (Archipenko), who has been relocated from the Czech Republic to Stadnina Krasne and will stand for €1,300.

Now eight, Polish Triple Crown winner Va Bank was bred by Airlie Stud, and he followed up his success in Poland with wins in the G2 Premio GBI Racing Roma Champion in Italy and G3 Preis der Deutschen Einheit in Germany.
