NIGHT WISH - ONE NOMINATION FOR THE 2024 BREEDING SEASON
Standing at: Foxwood Stud
Bred in Germany by the world-famous Gestüt Etzean, Night Wish was a high-class and tough racehorse who ran until he was six and was very sound. He stands 16.3 hands, was successful over 10 and 11 furlongs, won the Group 3 Grand Prix de Vichy in France and was a Listed winner in Germany. He was twice placed at the top level in Germany.
On the first of these occasions he finished third to Ivanhowe and Sea The Moon in the Group 1 Grosser Preis von Baden, and he was only two lengths off the winner when third to Empoli and Earl Of Tinsdal in the Group 1 Preis von Europa.
Night Wish is a son of Sholokhov (Sadler’s Wells), sire of Grade 1 winners Don Cossack, Bob Olinger, Shishkin, Esmondo and Porticello and also grandsire of the immensely talented Galopin Des Champs (Timos).
A Group 1 winner over a mile at two, Sholokhov was runner-up in both the Group 1 Irish Derby and the Group 1 Eclipse Stakes, and as a juvenile was placed in the Group 1 National Stakes at the Curragh.
A full-brother to the Group 1 Preis der Diana-German Oaks and Group 1 Grosser Preis von Baden winner Night Magic (Sholokhov), Night Wish is out of the stakes-placed Monsun (Konigsstuhl) mare Night Woman.
She bred yet another group winner in the shape of Night Music (Sea The Stars), successful in both the Group 2 Gran Premio di Milano and the Group 2 Premio Federico Tesio. Night Wish’s third dam Novelle (Northfields) also won the German Oaks.
Night Wish was well supported during his first few seasons at Haras de Montaigu with the likes of Sarah Faulks, Pascal Noue, Neustrian Associates, Madame Patrick Papot, Catherine Coffier and Goldford Stud using him.
