HE beautifully-bred Churchill achieved a feat beyond most stallions in their second season at stud – he increased the size of his book from his first season. He was one of the ten busiest stallions in Europe in 2019, covering 214 mares at Coolmore’s Fethard headquarters. Of the exclusively Flat-marketed stallions only Sioux Nation, Kingman, Australia, Zoffany, Dandy Man and Kodiac covered more mares than the dual Guineas winner in 2019. That fact alone would indicate the calibre of his first crop of foals, and breeders’ views were backed up at the European foal sales where 15 foals to come under the hammer for an average of 92,011gns. His covering fee in 2018 was €35,000 and he achieved a top price of 220,000gns for Norman Court Stud’s half-brother to the Group 2 winner Nancy From Nairobi, bought by Peter and Ross Doyle and Baroda Stud
at the Tattersalls December Foal Sale. Winner of four Group 1 contests at two and three, Churchill has some outstanding prospects on pedigree in his first crop of yearlings. Amongst the 190 mares he covered in 2018 are Trevor Stewart’s brilliant producer Cassandra Go, dam of triple Group 1 winner Halfway To Heaven and second dam of Group 1 winners Magical, Rhododendron and Photo Call. She has a yearling colt by the Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes winner. Another to have a yearling colt by Churchill is Danetime Out, dam of the Group 1 winner Toormore, and Group 2 winner and first-season sire Estidhkaar. The Group 1 winner Grey Lilas also has a yearling colt by Churchill, and he is a three-parts brother to the three-time Group 1 winner Golden Lilac (Galileo).
