I was always a fan of Toormore while he was racing, despite his many disappointments.
Soon after the start of this year’s stud season he was removed from Dalham Hall’s roster due to lack of interest in his services, and they were going to make a decision what to do with him next
Does anyone know where he’s ended up since?
Looks like he’s back in training – with Charlie Appleby. No entries that I can find, though he’s only had him since 17th May according to the Racing Post database. I always liked him too.
Hilarious to see the looks on the faces of those who wouldn’t use him at stud if he won 4 or 5 group races in the next year.
Will be aimed at the Lennox at Goodwood no doubt.
He’s a fine specimen of a horse and if going on physique he’d have been popularGaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
Thanks for the update, I do hope we see him again before long.
I’ve never seen him race in the flesh but saw his sire Arakan beat Trade Fair at Newmarket a few years back; he was a smashing looking horse. Must have been one of the last of the Nureyevs by that time.
Canford Cliffs is being sent packing to South Africa. Surprised that no other studs like Tally Ho etc did not try and buy him and give him a chance .
@TwiceOver
That’s a shame I would have liked to have seen him stand at the National Stud along with Toronado and Gregorian.
Strangely enough they have Marcel standing there for £5000 with the same damsire as Canford Cliffs.
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Word on the street is that the wastage percentage with Canford Cliffs is way too high for a commercial stallion. Too many fundamentally unsound foals sadly.
It’s such a disappointment. I thought he could be a very important stallion for the breed – he brought a very fresh bloodline into the equation.
