EAGLES By Day has joined the National Hunt stallion roster at Glenview Stud in Fermoy, Co Cork.

The Group 3-winning son of Sea The Stars was secured by Rathbarry and Glenview Studs from owner Clipper Logistics in a deal brokered by Joe Foley.

Eagles By Day will join Blue Bresil, Malinas, Old Persian, Shirocco, Sholokhov and Youmzain at Glenview for 2022.

Placed at Group 1 and Group 2 level, Eagles By Day shares his sire with Affinisea and Crystal Ocean, whose stock have recently proved popular with National Hunt breeders and foal buyers.

His dam Missunited was an exceptional racemare, winning 12 races under both codes, including the Group 3 Lillie Langtry Stakes at Goodwood and the valuable Guinness Galway Handicap Hurdle.

She also boasts six blacktype placings to her name, including a narrow defeat in the Group 1 Gold Cup at Royal Ascot and a fine third in the Group 1 Prix Royal Oak.

“Eagles By Day is an outstanding individual with plenty of size and substance. I’m confident he will prove a great attraction for Irish breeders,” said Paul Cashman of Rathbarry and Glenview Studs.
