First Mares In Foal To Magnum Force; Sakheer First Foals Arrive

Magnum Force winning at the Breeders' Cup | Racingfotos.com

Grade I winner Magnum Force has his first four mares scanned in foal at Ballyhane Stud. Standing for €7,500 in 2026, the son of Mehmas won the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint.

Stakes winner Asidious Alexander (Windsor Knot), Sunday Smart (Dandy Man), Gold Vision (Havana Gold), a sister to stakes winner Aqlaam Vision (Aqlaam), and Odessa On My Mind (Saxon Warrior), a half-sister to stakes scorer Most Beautiful (Canford Cliffs), have all tested in foal to the young stallion.

“He's had a busy start and has settled into the routine nicely; he's been very popular with breeders and has attracted an impressive first book of mares so hopefully he'll be lucky now,” said Ballyhane's Joe Foley.

Fellow Ballyhane stallion Sakheer also reached a stallion milestone with his first foals arriving this winter. By the late Zoffany, the G2 Mill Reef Stakes hero is priced at €5,500 for his second season at stud.

Added Foley, “The Sakheer foals are coming fast now and he seems to be getting good, strong foals with breeders already re-booking mares into him on the strength of their foals, which is always a good sign.”
