Montjeu’s Gr.1 winning 2yo Recital will retire to stand at the Beeches Stud for a fee of €2,500. Winner of the Criterium de Saint-Cloud-Gr.1 by 5 lengths as a 2yo he went on to land the Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial-Gr.2 the following spring. A very good looking individual he cost €750,000 as a yearling.

It’s worth noting that previous Criterium de Saint Cloud winners include Darshaan, Pistolet Bleu and Poliglote while the Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial has been won by Sadler’s Wells, Theatrical, Sinndar, Galileo, High Chaparral and Yeats.

Recital’s pedigree is also of the highest quality. His full-brother Corre Caminos won the 10f. Prix Ganay-Gr.1 by 5 lengths and his half-brother Racinger won the Prix du Muguet-Gr.2 over a mile. His grandam was a Classic placed Group winner in France and this is also the family of champion French 2yo filly Princesse Lida.

“Recital is a fine looking horse and like the brilliant champion hurdler Hurricane Fly, he is by Montjeu from a Kenmare line mare. Gr.1 winning 2yo’s by Montjeu are doing very well at stud and Recital also comes from a top-class French family. He’s a very exciting prospect.” said Robert McCarthy of the Beeches Stud.
