EL Kabeir made the perfect start to his stud career with the birth of a colt at Yeomanstown Stud, the first for this Grade 2-winning son of Scat Daddy (Johannesburg). Also winner of the Grade 3 Gotham Stakes and Jerome Stakes at Aqueduct at three, El Kabeir ran third to Frosted in the Grade 1 Wood Memorial Stakes. He retired to Yeomanstown Stud last year at €8,000 and will command the same fee this year.

El Kabeir covered 146 mares in his first season and among them was the new colt’s dam Shes Ranger (Bushranger), who was bred by Gay O’Callaghan’s brother Tony at Tally-Ho Stud.
