First mares in foal to Twilight Son.

TWILIGHT SON, dual Group 1 winner and leading sprinter of 2016, has taken to stallion duties extremely well, and has not surprisingly, been strongly supported in his first season at stud.  As part of Cheveley Park Stud’s policy of supporting its own stallions, TWILIGHT SON has been patronised by a selection of mares from the stud’s high quality broodmare band, as well as by many other leading European breeders.

Cheveley Park Stud Managing Director, Chris Richardson said; ‘I am delighted Twilight Son has started the stud season so promisingly, having had the first three mares bred to him, scanned in foal.  Having impressed at the highest level as a racehorse, Twilight Son continues to be the ultimate professional.  In this competitive business, we are very grateful to our friends and breeders for their support and we, like them, are excited by the potential he offers the breeding and racing industry in the future’.  

Mares visiting TWILIGHT SON in 2017 include the dams of Stakes’ winners Sole Power, Penitent, Tariq, Aetna and Supplicant. He is also set to cover the Stakes’ winners Soar, Firenze, and Geesala.

Private Matter becomes the third Stakes winner for Mayson

Owner / Breeder - Cheveley Park Stud

Trainer - Richard Fahey

Mayson continues to scale the stallion ranks after his son Private Matter won the Listed Prix Zeddaan at Maisons Laffitte today.

Sitting just off the lead early on he quickened up with 2 furlongs to go and never looked like being caught. He is a progressive sort and should continue to do well.

This is Mayson’s third Stakes winner and the second one this week. Only Frankel from the First crop stallions list has sired more, with four.

Hynotize is the dam of Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes winner and Champion two year old filly, Hooray (Invincible Spirit) and Stakes performer Mazyoun (Mayson). Hypnotize returns to Mayson in 2017.

The American Grade 1 winner Dublino (Lear Fan) produced a striking bay colt by Intello, on 22nd February, who weighed in at 51 kilograms. Dublino’s biggest success came when winning the Grade 1 Del Mar Oaks, and in doing so beat one of Pivotal’s best daughters, the Cheveley Park Stud bred, Megahertz. Dublino visits The Gurkha in 2017.

Stakes performer Rock Choir (Pivotal) produced her second foal on 26th February; a bay colt by Nathaniel. Rock Choir is a full sister to the Group 1 winner Chorist (Pivotal), making the new arrival closely related to Chorist’s best son, the dual Group 2 winner Gospel Choir (Galileo).
