“NO Nay Never has already achieved a lot, and yet this is the year that his career could be on the verge of a leap forward.” This was the opening line of the sire review for the Coolmore stallion in 2022, and how prophetic those words were.

That year the son of Scat Daddy (Johannesburg) was represented by the Group 1 winners Little Big Bear (European champion juvenile and now Coolmore stallion), Blackbeard (French champion two-year-old and now Coolmore sire), and the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies’ Turf winner Meditate. Today, No Nay Never is among the very best stallions standing in Europe.
