Darley Stud buys Brazen Beau

Wednesday 10 December 2014, 5:23pm

Group One winning three-year-old Brazen Beau will stand at Sheikh Mohammed's Darley Stud in Victoria when his racing career is over.

Before he joins the stallion roster at Darley's Northwood Park next season, the Coolmore Stud Stakes winner will be prepared by Chris Waller for races in Australia and England.

Brazen Beau is the second successive Waller-trained Coolmore Stud Stakes winner to earn a place at a major stud with Zoustar serving his first season this year at Widden.

"Brazen Beau is a straightforward horse who presented himself as a potential stallion because he's got speed, he's professional and he's strong," Waller said.

"And there's still plenty of upside to come.

"The plan is the Lightning Stakes, the Newmarket Handicap and then Royal Ascot for the Diamond Jubilee.

"He's unlikely to run in Sydney in the autumn because we want to have him fresh going overseas."

Brazen Beau is by reigning champion first season sire I Am Invincible and will continue to race in the gold colours of Ontrack Thoroughbreds.

Darley's managing director in Australia, Henry Plumptre, said the organisation had Brazen Beau on their radar since his win in the Roman Consul Stakes in early october.

"We identified him as a top class colt after his win in the Roman Consul Stakes in Sydney and it was no surprise to us when he won the Coolmore as impressively as he did," Plumptre said.

"It is hoped that he will be able to underline his ability with an autumn campaign taking in two of this country's best sprints before running at Royal Ascot."
