Declaration Of War was the impressive winner of both the Group 1 Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot and the Group 1 Juddmonte International at York in 2013. He was rated the best older horse over 10 furlongs in the 2013 world rankings. He starts his stud career at Coolmore this spring at a fee which is fully justified by his great ability and his top-class American pedigree.

Declaration Of War was bred by Florida resident Joseph Allen and raced in France as a two-year-old, winning both his starts there that season, including the Prix Habitat over 1,500 metres at Deauville.
