ENTERING his third season at the Cashman family’s Glenview Stud, Jeu St Eloi (Saint Des Saints) has proven popular with breeders, and the stallion covered more than 350 mares in the first two years since his move from France.

His first Irish-conceived foals hit the market last year, and included fillies who sold for €85,000 and €80,000 respectively at Tattersalls Ireland and Goffs. In the summer, at the Derby Sale, Harold Kirk and Willie Mullins spent €125,000 on a three-year-old daughter of his from Clifton Farm. It comes as no surprise that his daughters should sell as well, and better, than his colts, as his best runner so far has been the dual Grade 1 juvenile hurdle winner Kargese.
