ABOUT

WALDKONIG - ONE NOMINATION FOR THE 2024 BREEDING SEASON

Standing at: Knockhouse Stud (IRE)

Waldkonig was trained by John Gosden to win three of his five starts, culminating in success in the Group 3 Gordon Richard Stakes at Sandown, where the vanquished included Hukum. Never out of the first three in his career, he was so highly thought of by the team at Clarehaven Stables that he was considered capable of emulating his older half-brother in the Arc, before injury intervened.

"He has a proper stallion's pedigree," Venn concurs. "The fact he is out of a Monsun mare is a real positive, as he is one of the best broodmare sires around. He was a phenomenal sire when you think of what he achieved and he never covered enormous books, when you think of the size of books that stallions cover now."

_{NB All successful bidders must pay for their Lots no later than close of business on 18th January 2024.}

_{The Nomination will entitle the Purchaser to have one approved mare covered by the stallion in the 2024 Northern Hemisphere breeding season. The purchaser shall be entitled to a free return to the stallion for the 2025 covering season for the mare covered in 2024 or another approved mare provided that the stallion is still standing at the same farm and is available to cover mares and only if, following the end of the 2024 covering season:-a) the purchaser produces a certificate stating the mare is barren and signed by a qualified veterinary surgeon relating to an examination carried out at least 40 days from the mare's last service by the stallion, OR b) the purchaser produces a veterinary certificate to the effect that the mare either failed to give birth to a live foal or gave birth to a foal which died within 48 hours of birth other than by reason of accident.}
