Juddmonte has retired Oasis Dream from stud duties after 23 seasons at Banstead Manor Stud.
A homebred by Green Desert out of Dancing Brave mare Hope, Oasis Dream was a champion sprinter and a producer of the highest calibre at stud, with the likes of six-time Group 1 winner Midday, champion sprinter Muhaarar, and champion juvenile Native Trail amongst his 18 top-level performers.
Of those stallions still active in Britain, only Frankel and Dubawi have sired more Group 1 and Group winners.
“Today marks a sad day for the stallion team with the news of Oasis Dream's retirement from the breeding shed,” said Juddmonte's General Manager, Simon Mockridge.
“Managing this wonderful stallion over the past 23 years has been both a great pleasure and a privilege. His partnership with Dansili played a monumental part in establishing Juddmonte's reputation as one of Europe's leading stallion farms. He finished his breeding career as it began–full of enthusiasm and vigour, genuine to the end. A huge thank you to all breeders that have supported him over this period.”
Oasis Dream's legacy will endure for years to come, through his stallion sons–Showcasing, Muhaarar and Native Trail–as well as through his contribution as a broodmare sire, of more than 240 black-type performers, including 126 stakes winners, 76 Group winners and 17 Group 1 winners.
The breadth of his influence spans from Group 1-winning sprinters such as Big Evs, Never So Brave and Sioux Nation, to Classic winner Siskin, and extending to Melbourne Cup winner Twilight Payment.
