DIRECTOR’S WELCOME Finding our feet again Without doubt, 2020 was a year that none of us will ever forget. 2021 has been a year of tentatively resuming normal service, each of us having come through the other side of the COVID-19 pandemic with a slightly different perspective to the one we had before. The nature of caring for bloodstock has meant that throughout the events of the past 18 months, the day-to-day work on a stud farm at least has remained largely normal, with the horses’ wellbeing at the centre of everything we do. The ability of our fantastic team of staff and students to carry on regardless and maintain our scrupulously high standards with all that has been going on in the world has made me immensely proud.

D I R E C T O R ’ S W E L C O M E | T H E N AT I O N A L S T U D | 5

It has been a year of fresh starts in many ways, with the arrival of the first foals by three-time Group 1 winning sprinter ADVERTISE and Group 1 Classic winner FLAG OF HONOUR. With support from some of Europe’s leading breeders, both stallions covered high-class books of mares and had every chance to impress with their first foals. ADVERTISE has passed on all his strength and quality to his progeny, whilst FLAG OF HONOUR’S foals are exuding all their sire’s incredible athleticism – both giving us plenty to look forward to in the coming years.

It has been a hugely exciting year for our other stallions also. We were delighted with how the first foals by Group 2 winning sprinter RAJASINGHE were received in the sale ring late last year, and as a result he covered another quality book of mares again this year. With other sons of CHOISIR such as STARSPANGLEDBANNER having great success on the track this year (FLOTUS, CASTLE STAR etc.), we eagerly await RAJASINGHE’S first runners in 2022.

This year also marked a very exciting period in the careers of both ACLAIM and TIME TEST, with their highly anticipated first runners hitting the track. ACLAIM flew out of the gates with a subsequent Gr.1 placed filly in CACHET who provided his first runner at Royal Ascot, and has continued to impress with two further stakes horses since then.

As I write he is 2nd in the First Season Sires list for winners to runners, and with large crops to come it is safe to say we are excited about his career going forward.

We have been blown away by the success of TIME TEST, with five Stakes performers including a Group 1 place getter (SUNSET SHIRAZ), two Group 3 winners (ROMANTIC TIME and ROCCHIGIANI) and Listed winner TARDIS to date. With this early success coming from his second smallest book of mares and having this year covered his biggest book to date, it is fair to say we are excited about what the future holds for him. In addition, as I write TIME TEST is covering his second consecutive full book of mares at Little Avondale Stud in New Zealand. His first Southern Hemisphere runners will be hitting the track any time now and are as highly anticipated there as they have been here.

The success of both stallions is entirely down to the breeders who have supported them over the past four years, and I am thrilled to now see our loyal friends and clients reaping the rewards.

We are delighted by the addition of European Champion 3yo Sprinter LOPE Y FERNANDEZ to our roster this year, who we are standing along with our partners Whitsbury Manor Stud, Nick Bradley and Coolmore Stud. He is a multiple Gr.1 and Classic placed son of LOPE DE VEGA who consistently performed at the highest level for three seasons between 6 furlongs and a mile, and we think he offers yet another great option to breeders looking for a top level performer at excellent value.

2021 saw the largest group to date on the National Stud Diploma in Stud Practice and Management. 26 students from across the UK and Europe joined us in mid-January and graduated at the end of June, and I’m delighted to say that all of them have now secured positions within the industry or moved onto further education opportunities.

We also hosted the Evening Lecture Programme online for the first time this year which has been extremely well received, and we are planning to expand our digital offering further over the coming months.

13 students completed the TBA’s Entry to Stud Employment programme in 2021, and the majority have remained with their placement farms. The delivery of the E2SE has been re-structured this year to include a Level 1 Diploma in Work-based Thoroughbred Care, tailored for students who have never worked with horses in any capacity. The pilot course went extremely well with 4 new recruits completing their qualification and moving into the workplace. 15 students are currently on the Level 2 programme which runs from October – December.

As mentioned earlier I am so proud of the resilience of the team here at the Stud during the events of the past two years, but I have also been overwhelmed by the level of unwavering support from breeders in such difficult times. Whilst always extremely grateful to all of our clients, it has really highlighted to me just how loyal a group of breeders we are fortunate enough to work with. I wish you all the very best for a successful year ahead in 2022.

FOALING

SEASONAL BOARDING

PERMANENT BOARDING

Our foaling boxes are purpose built to cater for mares and their new-born foals.

We welcome seasonal boarders visiting our own stallions or other Newmarket based stallions.

Horses resident with us on a permanent basis benefit from a preferential boarding rate and are cared for year round by our team of highly skilled stud staff.

BOARDING SERVICES Whatever the horse, our aims are simple: the highest possible standard of care and first class communication Our team work alongside some of the industry’s most well respected vets and farriers; making sure that you and your horse receive the best possible standard of care at every stage of the process. Regardless of whether your horse is resident with us on a permanent basis, or boarding for just a short period of time, you will be updated regularly and owners are always welcome to visit.

Mares are cared for 24 hours a day with a member of our experienced staff always on hand. Every foal is given a thorough new-born exam by our vets. After foaling we’ll send you a detailed foaling report, and photos of your new arrival taken during the first 48 hours after birth will follow.

Please note: The National Stud will not accept mares for foaling unless they are fully up to date with EHV vaccinations.

Our vets are on site every day during the breeding season, so your mare is seen as and when she needs to be.

When she’s ready to be covered we take care of booking transport and make sure that all of the necessary paperwork is in order.

The whole process is taken care of for you, from regular farrier and worming routines, to registrations and vaccinations.

CHRIS DAFFIN 2019 E2SE Graduate

“Before the course, I had never worked on a stud farm but came from a general horse background. I learnt pretty much everything there was to learn about stud work during the course. I was truly grateful to be a part of the experience and it is one of the best things I have done in my life by far.”

1915

HERITAGE The National Stud was founded thanks to the foresight of William Hall Walker, who effectively initiated the inception of the Stud when he donated his bloodstock to the British government.

The son of a wealthy brewer who himself continued to run the family business for over 20 years, Hall Walker was also a soldier, politician, amateur jockey and polo player, and had enjoyed considerable success as a breeder prior to gifting his stock to the government. Hall Walker was a member of The Jockey Club (elected in 1919), and after a lengthy political career he became Lord Wavertree in 1919.

Mill Reef

With his idea initially having been dismissed, on the morning of 2nd December 1915 Hall Walker was at Tattersalls in London for the dispersal of his stock when he received a telegram stating that the British Government had agreed to his proposal and would buy the land in Ireland. He immediately withdrew his stock from the sale; a decision which founded the business that we still run today. Under its new ownership, and first Manager in Captain Henry Greer, the stud continued producing high class staying stock with great success.

1963

Duchess of Cornwall meeting Time Test during her first official visit in May 2019

In October of 1915 Colonel Walker approached the British Government with a proposal designed to do something to remedy the country’s dangerous shortage of Thoroughbred stallions to breed cavalry remounts, as well as the stock to produce future champions of the turf.

He put forward the idea that they should buy his 1100 acre estate in Tully, Ireland, and in return he would provide his bloodstock as a gift to the British nation.

The idea was met with a lukewarm response, and was initially rejected. However, after influential figures with ties to both racing and politics rallied to persuade the government, it was decided to accept the proposal.

William Hall Walker

In 1963 the newly established Levy Board was tasked with running the Stud, and 500 acres in Newmarket was leased from The Jockey Club to become the new home of The National Stud.

Peter Burrell is the longest standing director of the Stud to date and was responsible for the layout of the farm and yards as they still are to this day. HM The Queen officially opened our current site on 17th of April 1967.

1919 One of the most notable early successes was in breeding the great Blandford, foaled in 1919 out of Blanche. He ran only four times in his racing career and won the Prince of Wales’ Stakes, however it was his stud career in which Blandford made his mark. Three times Champion Sire he was one of the most important Classic sires of the 20th century, siring 11 Classic winners, and he remains one of only four stallions to have sired four Derby winners.

1973 Another significant moment in the Stud’s history came when Paul Mellon’s Derby winner Mill Reef was retired to The National Stud in 1973. Not only an incredible racehorse, Mill Reef went on to become one of the most influential sires of his time, and during his illustrious career at stud sired two Derby winners, Shirley Heights and Reference Point.

Further milestones were to come in a more human form when for the first time, in the mid-1970s, public tours of the stud began, and a decade later the Stud’s first full-time training programs started.

1942

1943

1942 was another stand-out year in our history, when under the relatively new management of Peter Burrell, The National Stud was responsible for breeding the winners of four of that year’s Classics. Sun Chariot won the Fillies’ Triple Crown, and Big Game won the 2000 Guineas; a phenomenal achievement for one stud to achieve in the same year.

The land in Tully transferred to the ownership of the Irish government in 1943, at which time The National Stud moved its stock to Sandley Stud in Dorset, and a further stud at West Grinstead in Sussex.

2008 The most recent historical shift for The National Stud came in April of 2008, when the farm was acquired by The Jockey Club. As such the Stud derives significant benefit from the fact that The Jockey Club is governed by Royal Charter; its’ commercial operations act solely for the good of British horseracing and its patron is Her Majesty The Queen.

2018 In November 2018, Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cornwall was appointed as the first ever patron of The National Stud. Her first official visit was in May 2019, where she planted a tree to mark the re-opening of the newly refurbished Stallion Unit.

TOURS The National Stud is the only Thoroughbred stud in the UK to open its doors to the general public, giving a unique insight into the world of Thoroughbred breeding.

Depending on the season and daily activities on the Stud, visitors can expect to see mares with their young foals in the paddocks, yearlings and stallions, all in the truly beautiful grounds of The National Stud. You will also hear about the history behind the Stud and an overview of the work that goes into producing the future champions of the racetrack from one of our highly knowledgeable guides.

Our resident equine celebrities are firm favourites with all of our visitors. Retired Grade 1 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Lord Windermere is based at the stud, and Treacle the Shetland pony is always on hand near to the coffee shop to welcome you as you arrive.

While you are with us you can visit our on-site coffee shop. It is open all year round and sells delicious cakes, sandwiches and hot food with many seasonal specialities to complement the daily menu.

“I was thrilled by how hands-on the tour was; we patted and were nuzzled by dozens of beautiful thoroughbreds and could see inside the covering sheds, stallion stables and barns. The tour was very efficiently planned - we were whisked around in a comfortable minibus, and even had time for a heavily subsidised lunch at the Stud Coffee Shop. If you love horses, you must do this tour.

Fabulous value for money.”

TIGER086 “Our guide was perfect; knowledgeable very friendly, amusing and professional, and put across his story in an excellent manner. The tour is around 90 mins, and looks at the history and purpose of the National Stud. It’s almost an introduction to what happens and why, and you can stop there or explore in more depth with the other tours on offer. The on-site coffee shop is excellent too!”
