BEHESHT - ONE NOMINATION FOR THE 2024 BREEDING SEASON  

Standing at: Whytemount Stud (IRE)

Bred in France by The Aga Khan, Behesht spent his early racing years primarily in his home country, winning the Prix Turenne and finishing second in the Prix Frederic de LaGrange.

He sold to Calumet Farm prior to the 2016 racing season, and raced for his new owner for two seasons before retiring to stud. He finished his career with three wins in 16 starts for $143,833.

Behesht is out of the French Group 2-winning Kris mare Behkara, whose other foals of note include French Group 1 winner Behkabad and French stakes winner Carthage. His second dam is the European champion Behera.

The 11-year-old son of Sea The Stars previously stood at Calumet Farm in Lexington, Ky.

There is some great reports about his foals. Last year he covered a very decent book of mares.
