JUDDMONTE this week announced the 2026 mating plans for some of its high-profile broodmares. Founded by Khalid Abdullah, it is one of the most successful racing and breeding operations in the world, and has a broodmare band that is the envy of all. In addition to its well-established stallions, Banstead Manor Stud welcomes a new recruit to the ranks for next season.

The Group 1 Lockinge Stakes winner and Juddmonte homebred Lead Artist (Dubawi) is new to Banstead Manor Stud in 2026, where he will stand his first season for £12,500. He will be receiving strong support from the Juddmonte broodmare band. His book of mares includes the Group 1 producers Exemplify, dam of Breeders’ Cup winner Expert Eye, and Kilo Alpha, who is dam of Jenny Wiley Stakes winner Juliet Foxtrot as well as Group 3 winner Juliet Sierra.
