EPSOM Derby winner Wings Of Eagles moved in 2019 to The Beeches Stud in Co Waterford, having spent the previous season in France at the Haras du Montaigu of his breeders, Gilles and Aliette Forien, who sold him for €220,000 as a yearling.

He now has three-year-old stores, some 130 of them, ready to hit the market, while his first French crop include the dual listed winner Blue Wings and the listed-placed Lovely Diamond. Last year his two-year-old son Coco Jack won four races in Britain, while another, Malbay Madness, won in Ireland. Meanwhile, purchasers of his stock include Kevin Ross, Ian Ferguson, Gerry Hogan, Matt O’Connor and Ryan Mahon.
