City Light reaches a milestone: 100th individual winner!
City Light has reached the milestone of 100 individual winners early in the 2026 season, and this with only his third generation on the track. Standing at €10,000 since 2025, the stallion confirms his status as a rising sire.
Consolidated key figures
- 100 winners in total.
- 162 starters to reach this milestone.
- Winning rate per starter: 61.8%.
-
18.5% of his horses show a rating ≥ 91
- 55 winners from the first generation.
- 31 winners from the second generation (4 years old).
- 14 winners from the third generation (3 years old).
- Note: only 35 individual starters represented the third generation, making these results particularly encouraging given the small cohort.
Sporting highlights
City Light himself matured strongly at 4 and 5 years, reaching Group 1 level. His progeny include two Group winners — Zabeel Light and Mimos (G3 winner) — which reinforces the sporting value of the sire line.
Prospects to follow in 2026
- Nity Celeste — Maiden winner, convincing debut victory.
- Arctic Bay — entered in the Camargo Listed, reflecting ambition for this crop.
- Light Mood — 3‑year‑old black‑type, exported to the USA, to be confirmed after a debut at Delaware Park.
- Relaxx — Listed winner and three‑time Group‑placed, sold for €500,000 at the 2025 Arc sale and exported to trainer Miguel Clement in the USA.
Production and commercial support
A strong book over the last three years: 262 mares covered at €7,000 in 2023/2024, followed by 113 mares supported in 2025 at €10,000.
City Light’s profile as a sire is on an upward trajectory: robust statistics, Group‑level performers and sustained commercial backing point to growing value for the seasons ahead.
