Al Wukair, bred by Ballylinch Stud.<br />
Winner of the Gr.1 Prix du Haras de Fresnay-le-<br />
Buffard – Jacques Le Marois in 2017.
Dear Breeder,<br />
This is the time of year when we review the year just ending and look forward to the next one<br />
with hope and expectation.<br />
2017 was a year of continued success for Ballylinch. Our late great stallion King’s Theatre was<br />
crowned Champion National Hunt Sire for the fifth time in the last six seasons and his replacement<br />
at Ballylinch, Beat Hollow, is showing great promise with his first National Hunt crop of 4yos<br />
led by our own highly promising Hollowgraphic.<br />
Ballylinch bred yet another Group 1 winner when Al Wukair won the Prix Jacques Le Marois<br />
in August. His sire, Dream Ahead, who had an excellent year on the track, will stand at<br />
Haras de Grandcamp in Normandy for 2018.<br />
In keeping with his status as a leading young sire in Europe, Lope de Vega had four Group 1<br />
winners in 2017 and, with his best-bred crops starting to race next year, we can expect his already<br />
very impressive statistics to improve even further.<br />
Lawman has yet again come up with a Classic prospect in Highclere’s unbeaten Group winner<br />
Luminate. He is a proven sire who has shown time and again that he can upgrade mares to<br />
Group 1 level, the spot we all aspire to.<br />
Ballylinch has invested heavily in young stallions in the last number of years and now the first foals<br />
by the top class miler Make Believe are hitting the sales. They have been enthusiastically received by<br />
both breeders and foal buyers and we confidently look forward to his first yearlings in 2018.<br />
Both New Bay and Fascinating Rock have been given the support that you would expect of the<br />
young stallions at Ballylinch. We are eagerly looking forward to seeing their first crop of foals in 2018.<br />
With the support of John and Leslie Malone, we continue to strengthen the broodmare band at<br />
Ballylinch and this was reflected in the sale of the beautiful yearling filly by Galileo out of L’Amour de<br />
Ma Vie to Godolphin at Goffs for €1.2 million. The fact that we support our young stallions with<br />
high class Ballylinch broodmares means that breeders can have confidence that our young sires<br />
have every chance to succeed at the highest levels.<br />
We continue to invest in upgrading the equine facilities at both Ballylinch and Castlemartin<br />
to ensure that every horse that is entrusted to us will have every opportunity to succeed.<br />
Finally, I would like to thank all our clients for their continued support and wish them<br />
every happiness and success for 2018.<br />

Boarding<br />

Ballylinch Stud has an excellent record of bringing on young horses, and boards and pre-trains for some of the<br />
world’s most successful breeders. With over 100 acres of uphill grass gallops, a five furlong uphill all-weather gallop<br />
and miles of woodland trails, it is an ideal pre-training centre. The stud also has its own laboratory and resident vet.<br />
