BURGAGE Stud has secured Group 1 winner Silverwave from France for stud duties in 2026.

Standing at 16.3hh, the physically imposing Silverwave had a landmark result on September 4th when his four-year-old daughter Louisa Banbou won a Grade 1 bumper, having previously scored at Grade 2 and Grade 3 level. Silverwave also had two additional stakes performers last month.

The ability to sire a Grade 1 winner from his first crop of runners puts Silverwave in the same category as previous high-class Burgage Stud sires Shantou and Jukebox Jury who also achieved the same feat from their first runners.

Silverwave was a tough, sound and consistent racehorse, winning 10 races from two to seven years on all types of ground. He won the Group 1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud and was placed in three other Group 1 events.

By Silver Frost (Verglas), he is a sire line outcross for Sadler’s Wells, Galileo, Alleged and Monsun line mares.

A stud fee will be announced later.
