'PROCLAMATION MOVES TO GIRSONFIELD'posted 11-11-2012
'Proclamation, who has stood for several years at
Overbury Stud in Gloucestershire, is to relocate to Susan
Corbett’s Girsonfield Stud at Otterburn in
Northumberland. The son of King’s Best, having won his
only start at two, was Timeform’s European Champion
Miler at three, coming from last to first in the Gr.3 Jersey
Stakes at Royal Ascot and then taking the Gr.1 Sussex
Stakes from four other Gr.1 winners. He comes from the
Aga Khan family of fellow leading miler and sire Sendawar
(Priolo) and at stud he has had a high proportion of horses
in the frame and this year has had Stakes performer
Annunciation to represent him.
Susan Corbett commented: “We have been building up
the quality of the stallions here at Girsonfield recently, with
Bahri having been a great success, and now with the topclass miler Proclamation. He is a near outcross and good
nick with Northern Dancer line mares and is a lovely
looking horse, with great bone and depth, which makes
him an ideal dual-purpose stallion. We look forward to having people to visit him soon.' - courtesy EBN 10th Nov.

UNUSUAL DOUBLE FOR QUEEN
ELIZABETH II HERO BAHRI
Bahri, whose finest hour on the racecourse came on this day in 1995 when, under an inspired ride by Willie Carson, he landed the Gr.1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes, completed an unusual double yesterday. His three-year-old daughter Shareen won the Gr.3 Denny Cordell Lavarack & Lanwades Stud Fillies Stakes at Gowran Park, her first at Stakes level, while his five-year-old son Redford added to his win in the Ayr Gold Cup last Saturday, with victory in the valuable Totesport.com Challenge Cup at scot. Shareen, who is owned and bred by His Highness The Aga Khan, is a half-sister to the dual Listed-laced Sharleez (Marju), from the immediate family of the dual Derby winner and sire hahrastani (Nijinsky).
Redford, who is out of a half-sister to the Gr.3 Chester Vase winner High Baroque (High Estate), was bred by T J Rooney and is a Goffs and Tattersalls graduate. Former Derrinstown sire Bahri now stands at Girsonfield Stud in Northumberland.
Shareen follows Redford!posted 25-09-2010
The filly Shareen then follows Redford by winning a 52,000 Euro Group 3 at Gowran Park - a fairly average afternoon at Girsonfield!
REDFORD DOUBLE FOR BAHRI!posted 25-09-2010
After winning the Ayr Gold Cup Redford, son of Bahri, has today created an amazing double by winning the Tote Sport.com challenge cup at Ascot. That is a winning strike of £200,000 in 7 days!Go Bahri!!
Millkom Colt sweeps the board!posted 13-09-2010
It was with great sadness that this year saw the passing of Paul Brennan - a great client and friend of the stud. For many years he searched for the perfect sport horse and this could just be it! Out of the mare Annie V1 by Millkom this chap is sweeping the board with Championships at the shows he has been to so far. Best of luck to Sarah and her new star!

BAHRI RELOCATING
TO GIRSONFIELD STUD
Derrinstown Stud has announced that their European
Champion Miler, Bahri (Riverman), will be leased to stand
at Susan Corbett’s Girsonfield Stud in Northumberland next
season.
Bahri won two Gr.1 races for his owner, Sheikh Hamdan
Al Maktoum, scoring impressively by six lengths in the
Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot and recording an equally
emphatic four length success in the St James’s Palace
Stakes at the same venue’s Royal meeting. He was also
Gr.1 placed on four other occasions, including in both the
English and Irish 2,000 Guineas.
Retired to stand at Shadwell Farm in Kentucky, he proved
an immediate success, siring the European Champion
Sakhee and Gr.2 (then) Falmouth Stakes heroine Alshakr
from his first small crops. This prompted his repatriation to
Europe, where he took up duties at Derrinstown.
Since his return, Bahri has been responsible for several high
quality performers, including the Group winners Secret
History, Acts Of Grace and Gesture, and the Stakes
winners Champery, Antonym, Cosmodrome and Albahri.
Bahri’s dam, Wasnah, is a multiple Group producer. She
is a Stakes-placed half-sister to six winners, including
Winglet (Gr.2) and Dance Bid (Gr.3), their dam being the
Champion 2yo Filly and Gr.2 Queen Mary Stakes winner,
Highest Trump.
Speaking of the decision to move the horse, Derrinstown
Stud’s General Manager Stephen Collins said: “Bahri was a
magnificent racehorse who has sired some very useful
performers on the track, including of course his European
Champion Sakhee.
“I’m sure he’ll do a great job for Susan Corbett and, with
his top class pedigree and striking looks, we think he
should prove very popular with British breeders.”
Bahri will be standing alongside the Gr.1 sire Millkom and
first season sire Ferrule (Danehill).
