Anjaal joins Mazameer at Kingfisher Stallions Kingfisher Stallions, which operates from Herringswell Manor Stud near Newmarket, has recruited a second young stallion to its ranks in the shape of Group 2 July Stakes winner Anjaal. By Bahamian Bounty, who was retired from stud duties earlier this year, Anjaal was also third in the Group 2 Lennox Stakes at three. He will stand alongside another Shadwell-owned sire, Green Desert’s son Mazameer, who is represented by five first-crop foals at the Tattersalls December Foal Sale. Will Barrons of Kingfisher Stallions commented: “We are delighted to add Anjaal to our new ‘walk-in’ only operation. He is an imposing individual – a strong-bodied horse with good bone, substance and quality.” Anjaal will stand at a fee of £4,500 with a limited number of breeding rights available allowing breeders two nominations for each of the stallion’s first four seasons and one lifetime breeding right thereafter. Both Anjaal and Mazameer will be available for inspection during the December Sales.

ROA Chief Executive Charlie Liverton Charlie Liverton will succeed Richard Wayman as Chief Executive of the Racehorse Owners Association. He will take up his new position in January. Liverton, 41, joins the ROA from his position as Racing Manager to Robin Geffen at Neptune Investment Management. His introduction to the racing industry came with spells working for training greats Dick Hern and Richard Hannon, followed by a move to Tattersalls. A racehorse owner for four years, he was elected as a member of the ROA Council in 2014. Liverton said: “It is an enormous privilege to be asked to become Chief Executive of the
ROA and represent the largest contributors to the funding of British racing. Owners are the lifeblood of our sport and we need to make sure that they are properly valued and fairly treated. There have been improvements in a number of areas, but ownership numbers remain in decline and racing has to do more to recruit and retain owners. “The ROA now has more than 7,300 members. As we move forward as an industry, encouraging greater participation in racehorse ownership, especially among younger people, I will be aiming to grow that number still further and enhance the many benefits that owners derive from ROA membership.”
