A NUMBER of Irish breeders have invested in Highclere Stud stallion Land Force, in the hope that he will prove as successful as the same stud’s Cable Bay, whose progeny excelled in their first season on the track in 2019.

By No Nay Never – whose stud fee this year is €175,000 – Land Force was a €350,000 yearling and was trained by Aidan O’Brien to win the Group 2 Richmond Stakes at Goodwood as a two-year-old.
