Bolshoi Ballet Moves To Blackrath After Coolmore Spell

The son of Galileo won twice at the top level in the US. He took the Belmont Derby as a three-year-old and added another Grade 1 prize in the Sword Dancer Stakes at Saratoga on his final start as a five-year-old.

Bolshoi Ballet began his stud career in Coolmore's national hunt division, at the Beeches Stud in 2024. He covered 76 mares in his debut season and 43 last year.

His new Kildare base said on X:- "We're delighted to announce Bolshoi Ballet as a new stallion at Blackrath Stud. By Galileo and a double Group 1 winner, he brings elite class and pedigree to our roster."

Bolshoi Ballet will stand alongside Eliot, Policy Maker and Saddex.
