Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted December 23, 2019 Journalists Share Posted December 23, 2019 MG1SW Poet’s Word (Ire) (Poet’s Voice {GB}) will command €5,000 at Boardsmill Stud in 2020, the stud announced on Sunday. The bay, who was acquired earlier in the year by Boardsmill, captured the 2018 editions of the G1 Prince of Wales’s S. and the G1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth S. and is expecting his first foals this coming spring. “Poet’s Word is an exciting addition to the stallion ranks in Ireland,” said Boardsmill’s John Flood. “He is a very attractive dark bay horse, standing over 16.1 hands high with good bone and a great walk. His Group 1 victories last year earned him a Timeform Racing of 132 and he improved every year from two to five, winning on all types of ground and finishing in the frame in 16 of his 17 starts. He comes from the Dubawi (Ire) sire line with his first three sires all Group 1 winners over eight to 10 furlongs and it’s a sire line free of Northern Dancer blood, so he is a welcome outcross option for breeders.” The remaining Boardsmill stallions have unchanged fees, with Califet (Fr) (Freedom Cry {GB}) at €6,000, Court Cave (Ire) (Sadler’s Wells) at €4,000 and Kalanisi (Ire) (Doyoun {GB}) has been priced at €4,000. All three stablemates have sired Grade 1-winning progeny over jumps this season.
