Denoux Stud Roster - 2026
Denoux Stud is excited to offer a six-horse roster for the 2026 breeding season, standing proven Grade 1 performers and tough globetrotters across dirt, turf, sprint and route. From Breeders’ Cup Classic winners to international turf stayers and classic dirt routers, there’s something here for just about every type of mare and every type of campaign.
All boys will be BC & BS nominated, and each stallion has his own dedicated page with full race record, stud stats, and foal highlights linked below. In very broad strokes:
- Ducati is your go-to for 2yo precocity that trains on to classic dirt/turf form.
- Manhattan offers elite speed from 5–12f on both surfaces with a truly global campaign.
- Esplanade brings rugged dirt-routing class with Jockey Club Gold Cup credentials.
- Glorious Victory is a graded-winning dirt grinder with a deep, versatile résumé.
- Holy Warrior adds Golden Slipper–to–Epsom Derby stamina and turf brilliance.
- Gang of Thieves passes on world-class staying power for turf and Cup-type mares.
ATTENTION
I am posting this early because my free time is dwindling.
Please do not reply to this thread to book. All requests should be made through the FF site. I’m super busy with law school and it’s much easier for me if you just submit through the site. 99% of the time I approve the mare within a few days — I think I only rejected 1–2 mares total last year.
I’ve added links to both the current FF site and the new app, since I’m not sure which platform we’ll all be using come February. There’s also a link to a little side project of mine—a Denoux Stud website where you can browse each stallion’s page, see their full race résumés and progeny highlights.
The below list shows which of my mares I’m planning to send to my own stallions. It’s mostly for interest/pedigree planning and is subject to change, but probably not by too much.
Discounts:
- Platinum mares: 50% off stud fees
- Gold mares: 25% off stud fees
Discounts will be applied/adjusted after the booking request has been sent through the site.
