    • Chapel Stud's National Hunt stallion Walzertakt (Ger) has died following a freak accident, the operation announced on Sunday. Roisin Close, Chapel Stud manager, said, “Unfortunately, Walzertakt incurred an accident whilst receiving rehab in preparation to stand next season and despite everyone's best efforts to save him he had to be put to sleep. We extend our condolences to Simon Davies at DahlBury, on whose behalf we stood him. Known as 'Walt' to all of us in the yard, his presence will be greatly missed.” Simon Davies added, “We are devastated with the news of the freak accident to Walzertakt and saddened mainly for Roisin and the team that looked after him. He was a stallion with great potential and temperament who was only just getting going in Britain.” Walzertakt was a high-class stayer on the Flat for Jean-Pierre Carvalho, notably winning the G2 Prix Maurice de Nieuil and G3 Prix Gladiateur as a six-year-old in 2015. He was retired to Haras de la Hetraie ahead of the 2017 breeding season, before moving to Haras de la Croix Sonnet where he stood for four consecutive seasons until arriving at Chapel Stud for 2022. By Montjeu (Ire) and a half-brother to the Deutsches Derby hero Wiener Walzer (Ger), Walzertakt's most accomplished performer from his early crops is the talented chaser Klitchko De Belair (Fr), runner-up in the G3 Prix Morgex at Auteuil in December last year.
