The Champion First Season Sire in Europe, Sir Prancealot has become an
international success story with burgeoning results in North America leading to
this development. He has nine winners from 13 runners in the US, which include
four stakes winners and five overall stakes performers."The statistics in America were becoming quite freakish so the United States became the next natural home for him in the northern hemisphere," said Sam Hayes of Cornerstone Stud.
The flagbearers for Sir Prancealot in the US have been Beau Recall and Madam Dancealot, both of whom are multiple Grade II winners and Grade I-placed.
"The team at Rancho San Miguel share our excitement regarding Sir Prancealot's obvious potential and we are most grateful to Adrian Gonzalez from Checkmate Thoroughbreds who made the introduction and brokered the deal," said Hayes.
"We are very excited to bring Sir Prancealot to the US and more specifically to California," said Gonzalez. "It's amazing to think that this horse began his stud career in Europe, moved to Australia, and now his top runners are running in the US.
"With his statistics, he could arguably be the most useful stallion in the world. He's been the big fish I've been after my whole career and I'm thrilled to syndicate him and begin selling shares immediately. Sam Hayes has been incredible to work with and I'm grateful for the opportunity to work together with him and Cornerstone Stud.
"With Rancho San Miguel, we've had tremendous success promoting Danzing Candy in his first two seasons at stud. Clay Murdock along with his staff at Rancho San Miguel will give us the best opportunity to properly introduce Sir Prancealot as a new and unique offering to the US breeding market."
A North American fee for Sir Prancealot is still to be set.
In Australia, the oldest Sir Prancealot offspring will be yearlings at the 2020 sales.
He stands at Cornerstone Stud this spring at a fee of $14,300.
