Reliable Man to Shuttle to Germany

Tara Madgwick - Friday September 27
Dashing grey entire Reliable Man (GB) made a big splash in Australia when downing It's a Dundeel to win the Group I ATC Queen Elizabeth Stakes back in the autumn, before being injured and retired to Westbury Stud in New Zealand.

Reliable ManA Group I winner in both hemispheres, the son of Dalakhani is now set to be syndicated and will stand at Gestut Rottgen in Cologne, Germany, next year.

The syndication was brokered by agent Crispin de Moubray, who said: "Reliable Man is a very exciting stallion prospect. He proved himself to be one the leaders of an outstanding European Classic generation with his victory in the Prix du Jockey Club and confirmed his quality with a string of top class performances over a mile and a quarter and a mile and a half in France, England and Australia at three, four and five.

"His current owners and Gestut Rottgen believe that he offers a rare opportunity for European breeders to participate in, and profit from, making a top international stallion.

"He is a fine-looking grey horse who combined the best qualities of his sire Dalakhani and of his damsire Sadler's Wells with those of his top-class family, founded by the European champion filly Fair Salinia."
