Kyprios To Stand At The Beeches Stud

Kyprios who won eight Group 1 races in the colours of owner/breeders Moyglare Stud will stand under the Coolmore National Hunt banner at The Beeches Stud for 2026. His fee has been set at €5,000.

Ballydoyle’s most prolific Group 1 winner of all time, he completed a remarkable clean sweep in 2022, landing the Ascot Gold Cup, Goodwood Cup, Irish St Leger and Prix du Cadran, and after an injury-hit season in 2023, returned to capture all four again in 2024.

“Kyprios is an exceptionally good-looking horse with a truly outstanding race record,” said Robert McCarthy. “He won more Group 1 races than any horse ever trained by Aidan O’Brien, which speaks volumes about his quality. He won his first Prix du Cadran by 20 lengths which must surely be a record winning margin for a Group 1 race. In total, he won 17 races and was unbeaten in his final nine starts. We are thrilled to welcome one of the all-time great stayers to The Beeches."

“Kyprios is a very, very special horse and it was a privilege to have trained him,” said Aidan O’Brien. “He has an unbelievable capacity for covering any amount of distance. He obviously has an incredible heart and lungs.”
