Castillon Stallions, Haras de Castillon's new stallion operation, has announced its fees for the 2026 breeding season, with the Group 1 winners Marhaba Ya Sanafi and Tribalist both being introduced at €6,000.

Tribalist embarks on his first season at stud as a seven-time Group winner, a tally headlined by his pillar-to-post win in last year's Prix du Moulin de Longchamp, while fellow newcomer Marhaba Ya Sanafi gained his sole success at the top level in the 2023 running of the Poule d'Essai des Poulains. Shares remain available in the Classic-winning son of Muhaarar.

Elsewhere, the dual Group 1 scorer Romanised, the sire of the G3 Prix Cleopatre heroine Zia Agnese, will stand for €5,000, along with the G1 National Stakes winner Thunder Moon, who will be represented by his first two-year-old runners in 2026. The roster is completed by Texas, who will command a fee of €3,800 ahead of his first juveniles also gracing racecourses next year, and young National Hunt stallion Magic Dream, who will stand for €3,500.

In other news, Castillon Stallions has appointed Enrico Simone Faccarello as head stallion man and nomination sales manager. Faccarello joins the team having gained experience in similar roles across Europe, New Zealand, Kentucky and Australia.

Benoît Jeffroy, president of Castillon Stallions, said, “We are delighted to welcome Enrico to Castillon. His international background and knowledge of stallions at the highest level will be key assets in structuring and developing our stud operation.”

Faccarello added, “I'm thrilled to join Castillon Stallions for what is an exciting new challenge. This new venture brings together high-class stallions from varied bloodlines, offered on attractive terms for all breeders. The aim is to build, together, a strong and ambitious programme.”
