Cambridge Stud has announced a major addition to the New Zealand stallion ranks with the purchase of the Southern Hemisphere breeding rights to Champion European colt Almanzor (Wootton Bassett-Darkova, by Maria's Mon). The three-time Group 1 winner will be syndicated to stand in New Zealand, his arrival coming at a pivotal time for the famous nursery as it moves into its next phase with the recent sale of the property to Brendan and Jo Lindsay. "Our purchase of Almanzor is a further vote of confidence in the New Zealand industry." said Brendan Lindsay. "He will be the first European champion three-year-old since Montjeu to stand in New Zealand, so having access to a horse with his credentials is hugely significant. We will be throwing our full support behind him." Trained by Jean-Claude Rouget, Almanzor's top-flight victories came in the Prix du Jockey Club (French Derby), Gr1 Champion Stakes, and Gr1 Irish Champion Stakes. Almanzor will stand his first season at a fee of $30,000 + GST as he joins the Cambridge Stud stallion roster alongside champion sire Tavistock ($65,000 + GST) and leading second crop sires Burgundy ($12,000 + GST) and Highly Recommended ($10,000 + GST).
