Mull Of Kintyre for India


GROUP 2 winner Mull Of Kintyre has been purchased by Capricorn Stud Farm in India, where he will replace the recently deceased 2,000 Guineas winner Tirol.

Trained by Aidan O'Brien for Sue Magnier, Mull Of Kintyre won two races as a juvenile, including the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes. He also finished fourth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile.

The son of Danzig, who is closely related to leading US sire Broad Brush, was retired to Coolmore's base in Ireland in 2002, but was moved to the Ashford Farm for the 2007 season, where he stood for $10,000.

To date, Mull Of Kintyre has sired four stakes winners, headed by the Irish 2,000 Guineas and St James's Palace Stakes winner Araafa and Group 3 winner La Dancia.
