I am delighted to announce that Charyn, the leading miler in Europe and impressive winner of this year’s Gr.1s Queen Anne Stakes and Prix Jacques Le Marois, will retire at the end of the racing season to become the fifth Group 1 winner on Sumbe’s stallion roster. A powerful individual with a textbook conformation, Charyn looks set to suit the demands of an increasingly selective market.
In his conditioner Roger Varian’s own words, « Charyn has proved to be an exceptional racehorse, showing both durability and class. He was precocious enough to win on his racecourse debut in August as a two-year-old, and went on to become a G2 winning juvenile in the Criterium de Maisons- Laffitte. Charyn has raced consistently throughout his three and four-year-old seasons, showing exceptional soundness of both body and mind, achieving his very best level of form as a four-year-old and posting some scintillating performances this year ».
Charyn’s immense talent will be on display again October 19th at Ascot in the Gr.1 Queen Elizabeth 2 Stakes before, followed by possible tilts at either the Breeder’s Cup Mile November 2nd or Japan’s Mile Championship November 17th, before his final, one-way trip to France to take up stud duties at Haras de Montfort & Préaux. Although he has become a familiar name on the European stage and beyond these past seasons, I cannot wait to unveil Charyn in his new role, and I am already thankful for the incredible hype and growing momentum arising about him.
