Yulong Purchase Two UK Based Stallions

Tara Madgwick - Saturday March 15

Yulong have been making news overnight in Europe with the announcement of their purchase of two Dullingham Park based stallions in Shaquille and Soldier's Call from Steve Parkin's Clipper Logistics.

The pair are expected to remain at Dullingham Park in Newmarket with no confirmation whether Yulong had purchased the stud as well.

Yulong Investments' European representative Paul Curran said in a statement, “We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Shaquille and Soldier's Call into the Yulong fold. Yulong Investments is deeply passionate about breeding elite racehorses and spares no effort in ensuring its stallions are positioned for greatness. These two exceptional sires will be supported by an elite broodmare band, giving them every opportunity to succeed and leave an enduring mark on future bloodlines. This is not just about adding stallions to our roster; it is about securing a legacy—one that will be felt for generations.”
