[Wandering Eyes]

Eight-time Group 1-winning stayer Kyprios will stand for €5,000 under Coolmore's National Hunt banner at The Beeches Stud. 

Aidan O'Brien's most prolific winner at the highest level, Kyprios completed a clean sweep in 2022, landing the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot, followed by victory in the Goodwood Cup, Irish St Leger and Prix du Cadran. 

After an injury-hit season in 2023, he returned to capture all four of those races again in 2024, confirming himself a rare phenomenon. 

“Kyprios is an exceptionally good-looking horse with a truly outstanding race record,” said Robert McCarthy on Coolmore.com. “He won more Group 1 races than any horse ever trained by Aidan O'Brien, which speaks volumes about his quality.

“He won his first Prix du Cadran by 20 lengths which must surely be a record-winning margin for a Group 1 race. In total, he won 17 races and was unbeaten in his final nine starts. We are thrilled to welcome one of the all-time great stayers to The Beeches.” 

Meanwhile, O'Brien told Coolmore.com, “Kyprios is a very, very special horse and it was a privilege to have trained him. He has an unbelievable capacity for covering any amount of distance. He obviously has an incredible heart and lungs.”
