Nietzsche Has to Stand for €7,000 at Haras de Montaigu in 2025

Nietzsche Has (Fr), runner-up in Sunday's G1 Prix Cambacérès at Auteuil, will stand for a fee of €7,000 when he retires to Haras de Montaigu as a National Hunt stallion in 2025, the stud announced on Monday.

Bred by Scea Hamel Stud, the son of Zarak (Fr) carried the colours of Edward James and his Highbourne Stud, having been bought by bloodstock agent Guy Petit for €240,000 at last year's Arqana Deauville Summer Mixed Sale. In six starts over hurdles at Auteuil, he also won the G3 Prix Aguado in May and finished third in last month's G2 Prix Georges de Talhouet-Roy.

Nietzsche Has is a half-brother to Niko Has (Fr) (Great Pretender {Ire}), a dual Listed-winning chaser and fourth in the G1 Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris. Their dam is a full-sister to the Prix Cambacérès winner Nirvana du Berlais (Fr) (Martaline {GB}) and a half-sister to Triana du Berlais (Fr) (Presenting {GB}), winner of the G3 Prix Edmond Barrachin, and Aubusson (Fr) (Ballingarry {Ire}), who produced one of his best efforts when third in the G1 Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot.
