Mountain High retired to be NH stallion.

Group 1 winner Mountain High joins Coolmore N.H. ranks

Danehill and Hellenic’s Group 1-winning son Mountain High has been retired from racing and will stand under the Coolmore National Hunt banner at The Beeches Stud. Always highly regarded by his trainer Sir Michael Stoute, Mountain High recorded a career best when landing the Group 1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud in May of this year from triple Group 1 winner Mandesha and Irish Wells with ‘Arc’ runner-up Youmazin back in fifth. He also won races at Chester, Newmarket and Ascot by margins of five lengths, five lengths and four lengths respectively.

Bred by Ballymacoll Stud, Mountain High is out of the Group 1 Yorkshire Oaks winner and St. Leger runner-up Hellenic who has also produced two other Group 1 winners in the shape of Islington and Greek Dance.

“Mountain High is a very good-looking horse, with plenty of size and a great walk. He’s a Group 1 winner with a fantastic pedigree so we are extremely confident that he’ll prove to be very popular with breeders,” said Beeches manager Robert McCarthy. His fee will be announced at a later date.
