WHIPPER started his stud career at Ballylinch Stud, standing for five seasons at the Co Kilkenny farm before moving to France and Haras du Mezeray for the 2011 season. A year after he moved along came his first Group 1 winner, Maeve Mahony’s Wizz Kid winning the Prix de l’Abbaye de Longchamp on Arc weekend in Paris.

Whipper’s last Irish-conceived crop included his second Group 1 winner, another filly. She was Waikika and her top-level success came in Italy where she won the Premio Vittorio de Capua.
