Shadwell Announces Fee for Mukhadram

Shadwell’s Mukhadram (GB) (Shamardal–Magic Tree {UAE}, by Timber Country) will stand for £7,000 with special live foal terms for the 2015 breeding season. The William Haggas trainee scooped up wins in the G1 Coral-Eclipse S. at Sandown July 5 as well as the G2 York S. in July of 2013 to go with a score in the G3 Brigadier Gerard S. in May of 2013. He also finished second in this year’s G1 Dubai World Cup behind African Story (GB) (Pivotal {GB}). The bay’s record currently stands at 16-5-3-2 with earnings of $3,251,510. 

“When we announced that Mukhadram was to retire to Shadwell at the end of the year, we promised breeders that he would stand at a competitive fee, and that is exactly what we have done,” said Richard Lancaster, Shadwell’s Stud Director. “Mukhadram’s sire Shamardal has enjoyed a great year with his offspring on the track, with 20 stakes winners in 2014. He is currently second Leading Flat Racing Sire in the UK/Ire and at the end of Wednesday’s session at Tattersalls Yearling Sales, Shamardal was the sire of the sales topper. He is also responsible for first season sire Lope De Vega who has had 18 first crop winners, including G3 winner Burnt Sugar.” 

Bred by Wardall Bloodstock, Mukhadram was acquired by Shadwell as a weanling from Tattersalls December Foal Sales for 190,000gns and will be available for inspection at Beech House Stud, Newmarket during the Tattersalls Breeding Stock Sales from Nov. 27-Dec. 3. 

“To be able to offer breeders in the UK an option to tap in to this extremely successful sire line for just £7,000 is an opportunity that we feel, is second to none,” added Lancaster.
