THIS year’s Punchestown Grade 1 winner Next Destination is a son of Dubai Destination (Kingmambo) and one of the best runners over jumps for the former Dalham Hall and Glenview Stud sire. While he made an impressive start to his stud career with a Group 1 winning juvenile in his first crop thanks to Ibn Khaldun, Dubai Destination’s star waned and he went to Glenview as a dual-purpose stallion.

In the meanwhile he has made a name for himself as a broodmare sire on the flat and is the dam sire of Group 1 stars Golden Horn and Postponed, among others. On the flat he sired a total of 14 group winners, including a couple of Italian classic winners, and moved to Glenview Stud in 2010.
