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).
WOW! YES IT IS BAHRI!posted 07-07-2010
I am sure our clients are as delighted as we are to announce that we will be leasing the Group 1 sire Bahri for next season and beyond! Champion Miler and sire of Champion Sakhee. He is by Riverman who stars in the pedigrees of many National Hunt sires. So whether you are breeding Flat or National Hunt I am now sure we can offer the right pedigree for your mare with Millkom, Ferrule and now,Bahri!
