The Rise and Rise of Robin Des Champs

[KendalCavalier]

Stick with me here.

As a stallion in his own right Robin Des Champs produced exceptional racehorses but not in huge numbers, Quevega and Vautour easily the most notable but it is in the sphere of being a broodmare stallion that he is really making a significant impact, in part thanks to Quevega.

In all Graded races in GB & IRE his win record as a dam stallion is ok without being spectacular but his win and place percentage is excellent.

His overall Graded record in GB & IRE is,

147 runs in 140 races
21 wins at a strike rate of 14.3%
33 placed with a win and place strike rate of 36.7%

His overall record in all GB & IRE races is,

1423 runs in 1394 races.
206 wins strike rate 14.5%
267 placed win and strike rate 33.2%

But it is when you see a Robin Des Champs broodmare paired with a Montjeu stallion that the magic seems to happen (apart from the nutter, Scorpion).

A ‘not knocked about’ third there for Gold Bullion behind Klassical Dream. I think there is a ‘plan’ with that one.

So since writing this and Gold Bullion aside a further five have gone to post with three winning. Unfortunately Jeu Des Champs suffered a fatal heart attack yesterday.

Hidden Heroics his only representative today. And duly obliges @ 9/1
