Rakti And Elusive City To Move To Irish National Stud Six-time Group 1 winner Rakti and champion juvenile Elusive City are set to stand at the Irish National Stud at Tully in Co Kildare for the 2007 breeding season.The pair are moving because their current base at Huma Park Stud, also in Co Kildare, is due to be sold at auction on October 19.Rakti, who was joint world champion miler in 2004, received a high-class book of mares in his first season at stud this year, while Elusive City, winner of the 2002 Group 1 Prix Morny, will be represented at the forthcoming sales by a first crop of foals that have been extremely well received.The Irish National Stud has an illustrious history and has been home to many outstanding stallions. In recent years these have included Ahonoora, Indian Ridge and this season´s leading first-season sire Invincible Spirit.Hubie de Burgh of Huma Park Stud said today: 'We are delighted that Elusive City and Rakti will be standing at the Irish National Stud. The farm is highly respected in the industry worldwide, with a strong client base and is geographically well positioned - which augurs well for both horses´ futures. They are both promising young sires who we feel will fit well into the exciting roster of stallions at the Irish National Stud.'
