Seven-time Group 1 winner Highland Reel (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) will transfer to Takaya Shimikawa's S T Farm on Hokkaido next season. The sire of three stakes winners, led by G2 Premio Dormello heroine Atamisque (Ire) and GIII Surfer Girl S. victress Comanche Country (Ire), the Coolmore Stud stallion is currently serving the Southern Hemisphere season at Swettenham Stud in Australia for A$16,500.
An S T Farm spokesperson told Yahoo Japan, “During his racing days, Highland Reel was a horse whose performances were outstanding, not only in Europe, but overseas. I feel that his progeny show good speed, and although they have achieved results in Europe and the United States, I feel that the Japan may be a better fit.”
Out of the G2 South Australian Oaks second and G2 Schweppes Oaks third Hveger (Aus) (Danehill), he is a full-brother to three stakes winner led by multiple group winner Idaho (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), who was placed in both the G1 Derby and G1 Irish Derby, as well as G1 Caulfield S. winner Cape Of Good Hope (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}).
