First time I've ever seen a mistake in Racing Post... on the sidebar it says Red Rocks.

You will, of course, visit him for me... right?


Red Clubs to shuttle to New Zealand

Red Clubs was a talented two-year-old who tasted Group 1 glory in the Hyadock Sprint Cup

RED CLUBS will stand at Michael Tololi's Stoney Bridge Stud in New Zealand for the upcoming southern hemisphere season, where he will command a fee of NZ$15,000 (£5,839/€7,309).

The deal, which was brokered by Will Barrons and Richard Venn, means that the Tally-Ho Stud resident joins Stravinsky as one of only two European champion sprinters to stand in New Zealand.

“To have secured a current European champion who is by a stallion held in extremely high regard in Australasia is just fantastic,” said Peter Jenkins, manager of Stoney Bridge.

“We have been searching for a brilliant speed sire-prospect for some time, and Red Clubs ticks all the boxes,” he added.

Trained by Barry Hills, Red Clubs was a tough and talented two-year-old, winning three of nine races, including the Group 2 Coventry Stakes. The son of Red Ransom later added successes in the Group 1 Haydock Sprint Cup and Group 2 Diadem Stakes to his record.

Red Clubs is currently standing his first northern hemisphere season at a fee of €12,500.
