Haras d'Etreham Set Fee for Hotazhell

Tara Madgwick - Monday Nov 9

Triple Group I winner Hotazhell will begin his stallion career at Haras d'Etreham in France at a fee of €15,000 next year before then shuttling to Widden Stud in Australia.

Hotazhell is a triple G1 winning son of Too Darn Hot.

He heads the French stud's seven-strong roster for 2027 that also includes Cambridge Stud shuttler Hello Youmzain, whose fee has been set at €10,000.

While Too Darn Hot already has two young sire sons in Australia in Broadsiding and Tropicus, Hotazehell becomes his sire's first son to stand in Europe, having established himself among the continent's best gallopers at both two and three.

A Group III winner of the Tyros Stakes and Group II Beresford Stakes at two, Hotazhell completed his juvenile campaign with a memorable victory over Delacroix in the Group I Futurity Trophy at Doncaster.

Delacroix is in Australia this spring covering his first book of mares at Coolmore Australia.

Hotazhell subsequently added two Group I victories over ten furlongs in 2026, landing the Irish Champion Stakes and Grosser Dallmayr-Preis.

Out of a Danehill Dancer mare from the family of Alexander Goldrun, Hotazhell offers breeders access to this increasingly influential branch of the powerful Dubawi sire line.
