Ribchester | Scoop Dyga
Four-time Group 1-winning miler Ribchester (Ire)(Iffraaj {GB}-Mujarah {Ire}, by Marju {Ire}) will enter stud at Darley’s Kildangan Stud in 2018 for a fee of €30,000. A limited number of breeding rights are available.
Ribchester, the highest-rated horse descended from Fall Aspen after Dubai Millennium, won the G1 Prix Jacques le Marois last year at three before adding this year’s G1 Lockinge S., G1 Queen Anne S. and G1 Prix du Moulin de Longchamp. He has finished off the board just once in 15 starts, with a further six placings in Group 1s for Godolphin and trainer Richard Fahey.
Also new to Kildangan next year will be the G1 King’s Stand S. winner Profitable (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), who will stand for €12,000. They join the likes of Shamardal, who remains private, and Teofilo (Ire) and Exceed and Excel (Aus), who head Kildangan’s advertised fees at €40,000 and €50,000, respectively.
Darley’s flagship sire Dubawi (Ire) once again heads the Dalham Hall Stud roster at £250,000. He will stand alongside three of his sons, including the four-time Group 1 winner Postponed (Ire), who stands his first season at £20,000. The G1 2000 Guineas winner Night Of Thunder (Ire) moves to Newmarket after previously standing at Kildangan.

New post on Horse Racing in Korea

Djordje Perovic has become just the second overseas rider to reach 200 winners in Korea. The Serbian jockey passed the milestone at Seoul Racecourse this past Sunday when he notched the second of three winners across the weekend.
That win, on hot favourite P.K. Time in race 1 and then a later one aboard 4/1 chance Yes You Can in race 8 took Perovic’s 2017 tally to 82, three shy of Premiership leader Kim Yong Geun.
Licensed in Italy but a native of Serbia, the “Best Sportsman of the City of Kragujevac” arrived in Seoul in May of 2015. It took 35 rides for him to partner his first winner, Gold Mountain on June 7th of that year, as Perovic struggled with the usual issue facing foreign jockeys at Seoul – getting competitive mounts. The floodgates soon opened though. He rode a double the following week and despite some minor setbacks, never hasn’t stopped riding winners since.
100 winners arrived in October of 2016 and 150 in March of this year. In both years, Perovic has had to take time out in Europe for licensing reasons making his achievements – and to be in with a realistic chance of being Champion jockey this season – all the more admirable. In June this year, he won his first Korean Group race, guiding Silver Wolf to victory in the Ttukseom Cup.
Djordje Perovic now has 201 winners in Korea, still some way shy of Ikuyasu Kurakane’s final tally of 285. If he stays on though, few doubt that figure will be overcome.
