Evergreen Pivotal and young gun Ulysses head Cheveley Park Stud's 2020 roster
Cheveley Park Stud has released the 2020 fees for its five-strong roster of stallions, with the regally bred Ulysses topping the list of those with published prices at £15,000.
The two-time Group 1-winning son of Galileo and Oaks heroine Light Shift, who stood last year at £17,500, has his first foals due to appear at public auction later this year, with six sons and daughters entered at the Goffs November Sale and 17 lots entered at the Tattersalls December Sale.
By far the most influential stallion standing at David and Patricia Thompson's operation is the evergreen Pivotal, with the champion broodmare sire and source of 30 Group/Grade 1 winner set to stand his 24th season on a private basis.
Three of the stud's 2019 residents - Garswood, Intello and Lethal Force - have relocated to France to continue their respective stallion careers, with Intello back on duty at Haras du Quesnay and Lethal Force joining the ranks at Haras de Grandcamp. Garswood's new base will be announced at a later date.
Cheveley Park Stud's managing director Chris Richardson said: "Although our stallion roster for 2020 is somewhat reduced, I feel we continue to offer exciting, classy, Group 1-winning stallions, whose careers are still very much in the making and represent great commercial value.
"Our track record for making stallions is there for everyone to see, with Pivotal very much the elder statesman, imparting his class to younger generations. Twilight Son's first yearlings were extremely well received at the sales, averaging just under £30,000.
"Mayson's progeny continue to prove highly competitive, and we look forward to seeing superstar Ulysses's first foals on show this autumn who will, I'm sure, catch the imagination.
"Finally, we look forward to Unfortunately's first crop of foals next year, and we will continue to support him with our own mares, in his new home at Springfield House Stud in Ireland. We look forward to the future full of enthusiasm."
