POWER has made an impressive start at stud in Europe with his first crop, and his 2017 fee of €8,000 is looking to be good value as time goes on. His four stakes winners in that crop include Group 3 winners Peace Envoy and Pleaseletmewin, while Biz Power and Cristal Fizz have added listed race successes to the tally.

Now his first crop of juveniles ‘down under’ have hit the track running and last weekend he notched up his first group stakes winner in that group when the New Zealand-bred Gift Of Power captured the Group 2 Wakefield Challenge Stakes over five and a half furlongs at Trentham. His victory followed a prior success in the Listed Wellesley Stakes at the same track over five furlongs.
