FREE EAGLE - ONE NOMINATION FOR THE 2024 BREEDING SEASON
Standing at: Anngrove Stud
Free Eagle, who raced as a Moyglare Stud homebred, short-headed classic star The Grey Gatsby in the Group 1 Prince of Wales’s Stakes, ran away with the Group 3 Enterprise Stakes over the same trip at Leopardstown, and was placed in both the Group 1 Irish Champion Stakes and Group 1 Champion Stakes from only eight starts.
He is out of their standout broodmare Polished Gem (Danehill), so he is a half-brother to the dual Group 1 Irish St. Leger heroine Search For A Song (Galileo), Group 2 scorers Custom Cut (Notnowcato) and Sapphire (Medicean), Group 3 winner Valac (Dark Angel), pattern-placed stakes winners Amma Grace (Galileo) and Falcon Eight (Galileo), plus new sire since 2022 in Ireland, Rich History (Dubawi).
Polished Gem’s full-sister Dress To Thrill is a Grade 1 winning daughter of Group 1 Irish 1000 Guineas winner Trusted Partner (Affirmed), while Free Eagle’s third dam Talking Picture (Speak John) won twice at the highest level.
Sire of Derby runner-up Khalifa Sat (dam by Tenby; first foals in 2023) in his first crop, so he has already proved that he can get a horse who can perform with credit at the highest level.
Approx. Height: 16 Hands
