ONE OF THE BEST SONS OF KINGMAN IN EUROPE
Triple Gr.1 hero, this exceptional miler is one of the best sons of Kingman at stud.
Group winner at 2 in England, Persian King won the Gr.1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains at 3
and won twice at the highest level the next year with the Prix d'Ispahan Gr.1 and
the Prix du Moulin de Longchamp Gr.1, defeating five winners of 12 Gr.1 by 5 lengths.
He ended his exceptionnal racing career with a third place in the Gr.1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe,
on his first attempt over the distance.
A unique partnership involving Godolphin, Dayton Ltd and the Haras d’Etreham was created for his stallion career.
Very well-welcomed by european breeders, Persian King covered a full book of 140 mares in his first season at stud,
115 in 2022 and is fully-booked for 2023.
He had his first foals in 2022:
much appreciated, they were sold for €160,000, £130,000, €115,000, €110,000, €80,000, €70,000...
A share in Persian King sold for €190,000 made the Top Price at the Arqana Online Sale in January 2023.
Persian King is represented by his first yearlings in 2023.
