Topgear's First Mares Scanned In Foal

Capital Stud's Topgear had his first mares scanned in foal, the stud announced on Friday. The multiple group winner, who scored in the G2 Challenge Stakes, stands for €7,500 this year.

“We are delighted to announce that Topgear has had his first mares scanned in foal,” the stud said in a statement.

“It's an exciting milestone for this exceptional young stallion and a hugely encouraging start to his stud career at Capital Stud. Early scans have been very positive, and we are grateful to the breeders who have shown such strong support in his first season.

“An unbeaten 2YO and the highest Timeform-rated son of Wootton Bassett retired to stud this year, Topgear is out of a Giant's Causeway mare, offering breeders a brilliant outcross option. Correct and good-looking, with a big walk, he has impressed breeders from the outset.

“We very much look forward to welcoming his first foals next year.”
