BALLYHANE Stud has become synonymous with the production of speed and precocity, and these days its five-strong roster is headed by the established pair Dandy Man (Mozart) and Elzaam (Redoute’s Choice).

The former’s double-digit tally of stakes winners includes three Group 1 stars of whom miler River Boyne has now joined the stallion ranks in Ireland. Elzaam’s standout performer is last year’s Group 1 Matron Stakes heroine Champers Elysees.
