Walzertakt To Stand At Chapel Stud

Walzertakt (Ger) (Montjeu {Ire}), winner of the 2015 G2 Prix Maurice de Nieuil and G3 Prix Gladiateur for Gestut Aesculap and trainer Jean-Pierre Carvalho, moves to Chapel Stud to stand as a National Hunt sire in 2022 after four seasons at Haras de la Croix Sonnet in France.

Chapel Stud Director Roisin Close said, “Walzertakt is a big, strong, good-looking horse, a very typical stamp of his sire Montjeu. His pedigree is rapidly turning into a German masterclass of breeding, full of champions and Group 1 winners of the highest and toughest calibre. For stamina and quality, you really don't need to look any further. [Stud owners] Simon and Richard have completed a very impressive trifecta with his addition to the stallion roster; we really do have a stallion to compliment every mare.”
