HAPPY days at Haras de Bouquet for the Al Shaqab racing team as their French 2000 Guineas winner Style Vendome got off the mark as a stallion. To make it even better the winner, Sedary, also carries the Al Shaqab colours and was a €30,000 graduate of the Arqana Yearling Sale last August.

Style Vendome, a son of the Danzig stallion Anabaa, won two of his three juvenile starts, including a listed race at Deauville.
