Leading first-crop sire Mohaather will stand for £15,000

Shadwell are pleased to announce their 2025 nomination fees for their five stallions.

Standing at Beech House Stud, United Kingdom:

BAAEED – £65,000 1^st Oct SLF
MOHAATHER – £15,000 1^st Jan SLF
MOSTAHDAF – £12,500 1^st Jan SLF

Standing at Derrinstown Stud, Ireland:

MINZAAL – €12,500 1^st Jan SLF
AWTAAD – €7,500 1^st Jan SLF 

The Shadwell stallion roster is led by Baaeed, a truly exciting stallion prospect who retired as the highest-rated horse in Europe for over a decade. He will stand for £65,000 in 2025.

Stephen Collins, European Bloodstock Manager: “Baaeed retired with an Official Rating of 135 after six brilliant Group 1 wins, since then he has been supported by the world’s leading breeders with two exceptional books of mares. He is a stallion of great importance to Shadwell and we are delighted with his first foals. Given his extraordinary ability, outstanding pedigree and faultless conformation, he remains a truly unmissable stallion prospect.”

Mohaather, the Gr.1 Sussex Stakes winning miler turned leading first-crop sire, will command a fee of £15,000.

Stephen Collins: “Mohaather has been one of the success stories of the year, producing three Stakes winners, more than any other first-crop sire in 2024. He remains on an exciting upward curve and considering he continued to improve throughout his career, there is a lot to look forward to. The market was incredibly supportive of his second-crop of yearlings and we believe he should be very attractive to breeders at the fee of £15,000.” 

Mostahdaf, the outstanding Gr.1 Prince of Wales’s Stakes and Gr.1 Juddmonte International winner, will stand at a fee of £12,500.

Stephen Collins: “Mostahdaf was an outstanding winner of two of Europe’s premier races and completed a historic double as only two horses have won both, the Gr.1 Prince of Wales’s Stakes and Gr.1 Juddmonte International in the same season in the last 50 years. The son of Frankel has an exceptional pedigree being a half-brother to Nazeef, a dual Group 1 winning miler, and is from the family of two Champion Sprinters. He has covered a high-class first book supported by all the right breeders and we look forward to seeing his first foals next year.”

Derrinstown’s Minzaal heads into his third season at €12,500. He was an emphatic 3¾ length winner of the Gr.1 Sprint Cup Stakes as well as taking the Gr.2 Gimcrack Stakes at two. 

Stephen Collins: “Minzaal is the highest-rated son of Mehmas, who himself has had another excellent year. We received very strong reports on his first foals and anticipation is high ahead of the foal sales. He ticks a lot of boxes for Ireland’s commercial breeders and he has been well-supported with two quality books of mares. A very fast, good-looking horse he should be popular with breeders again this year.”

After an excellent 2023, Awtaad has again delivered in 2024. His son Anmaat took the Gr.1 Champion Stakes, defeating five Group 1 winners, and Anisette also added another Grade 1 victory to her résumé in the Gr.1 Gamely Stakes at Del Mar. He stands at €7,500 for the forthcoming breeding season. 

Stephen Collins: “Awtaad had another phenomenal year, being the sire of Group and Grade 1 winners Anmaat and Anisette, as well as Al Qareem and Naomi Lapaglia. Few sires can match his achievements in terms of the value he offers breeders as a regular source of black-type performers. His yearlings this year sold for up to 80,000gns and €80,000. I’m sure nominations will be in high-demand.”

The Shadwell roster of exciting young sires offers options for every type of breeder.

Stephen Collins: “For a roster of Shadwell’s quality, we believe our fees provide good, competitive value to breeders in what is an unpredictable climate. While many of the yearling sales saw the market rise far above expectation, we recognise there are still areas of the market which require support.

We would like to thank all our clients for their continued and valued business. The Shadwell team looks forward to discussing any requirements with you for the forthcoming breeding season.”
