Aga Khan Studs have announced service fees on their stallion roster headed by Sea the Stars at €300,000 with two time Arc winner Daryz an exciting addition to their Gilltown Stud in Ireland.
A new chapter begins with the arrival of three homebred Group I winners.
The winner of four Group 1 races from nine to 12 furlongs, Daryz brought his racing career to a close by becoming the first colt in nearly 50 years to win back-to-back renewals of the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. This remarkable son of Sea the Stars and Group 1 winner Daryakana, whose defining racing attribute was his terrific turn of foot, will stand at Gilltown Stud alongside his leading sire at an introductory fee of €50,000.
Rayif (Sea the Moon) and Samangan (Blue Point) will join the team at Haras de Bonneval.
A Group winning and Group 1-placed juvenile, Rayif enhanced his reputation at three by becoming the first horse in 25 years to complete the Poule d’Essai des Poulains–Prix Jacques Le Marois double. This specialist miler was last seen finishing third, recording the fastest closing sectionals, in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot. He will commence his stallion career at a fee of €20,000.
Samangan is the fastest and most precocious colt produced by the Aga Khan Studs since Siyouni.
A son of Blue Point out of an Oasis Dream mare, he excelled at an early age as a dual Group winner over six furlongs at two, before adding the six-and-a-half-furlong Prix Maurice de Gheest to his tally at three.
He will stand at a debut fee of €10,000.
