Falco (Pivotal {GB}-Icelips, by Unbridled) will stand at Elusive Bloodstock in Lincolnshire in 2019 in a deal brokered by Richard Venn Bloodstock. Bred and raced by the Wertheimers, the sire of flat Group 1 winner Odeliz (Ire) and jumps Grade 1 winner Peace and Co (Fr) previously stood at Haras du Grand Chesnaie in France. A winner of the G1 French 2000 Guineas in 2008, Falco has also sired Group 3 winners Snowday (Fr) and Xenobia (Ire). The 13-year-old will stand for £3,000, Oct. 1 SLF.
“We are very excited to be standing a Group 1 winner, who will be one of the only stallions standing in the UK to have sired a Grade 1 winner over jumps and a Group 1 winner on the flat,” said Elusive Bloodstock's James Gray. “He is a gorgeous bay by a wonderful sire and offers breeders the chance to breed a racehorse as well as a sales horse as shown by the recent sale of a 3-year-old for €65,000 to Gordon Elliot.”
