Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 1, 2023 Journalists Posted September 1, 2023 Classic winner Magician (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) has been purchased by Chinese interests and will continue his stallion career in Ireland for the 2024 season. The deal was brokered for the Irish interests by Mattia Cadrobbi, who had been steward of the stallion in 2021 with Renew Italian Breeding during his single season at Allevamenti della Berardenga in Italy. Dr. Bernard Stoffel handled the veterinary clearance, and Marco Bozzi acted as agent. BBA Ireland carried out negotiations for the Chinese party, followed by Kevin Ren, who is now trustee of Magician. A winner of both the G1 Irish 2000 Guineas and the GI Breeders' Cup Turf at three in 2013 for a Coolmore partnership and Aidan O'Brien, the bay was also placed in a trio of top-flight races as a 4-year-old–the Tattersalls Gold Cup, Prince Of Wales's S. and the Arlington Million S. He retired to stud with a record of 14-5-4-0 and earnings of $2,580,402. He spent four seasons at Coolmore's Ashford Stud in Kentucky, before standing for two seasons at Haras de Corlay in France beginning in 2019. After spending 2021 at Allevamenti della Berardenga in Italy in 2021, the son of Absolutelyfabulous (Ire) (Mozart {Ire}) stood at Ireland's Meelin Stud last year. The sire of two stakes winners to date, Magician's fee there for 2023 was €3,000.
