ARCHIPENKO TO STAND AT LANWADES STUD
“We are of course delighted to announce that Group 1 winner ARCHIPENKO is joining the stallion ranks at Lanwades," says Stud Owner and General Manager, Kirsten Rausing (also Chairman of the Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association).
“ARCHIPENKO is a marvellously well-bred horse with great performance, being a winner every year from 2 to 5 years and with lovely looks and temperament. I shall certainly be breeding my very best mares to him – including dual Champion Stakes winner and World Top-Rated 3-year-old filly, ALBORADA, as well as her multiple Group 1 – producing dam, ALOUETTE,” she added.
“The other good news from Lanwades is that SELKIRK, following encouraging veterinary examinations, is coming out from his temporary retirement and will again be available to mare owners in 2010, as will of course the other Lanwades stallions, HERNANDO (Group 1 winners in 2008 and 2009); Derby winner SIR PERCY (first foals 2009); Canadian Horse of the Year WITH APPROVAL (sire of the winners of $45 million) and VITA ROSA (first foals 2010).”

GOOD NEWS ABOUT SELKIRK
SELKIRK is to come out of retirement for season 2010. Following the findings of comprehensive veterinary examinations it is with great pleasure that Lanwades can announce that SELKIRK will again be available to mare owners for season 2010. A nomination fee will be announced later this Autumn. SELKIRK is the sire of 73 individual Group/Stakes winners, of these 11 are Group 1 winners including SELMIS in 2009. SELKIRK has sired the winners of over 1100 races and his progeny earnings are over £21 million.

LANWADES’ STALLIONS SENSATIONAL STRIKE RATE
CASUAL CONQUEST’s emphatic Tattersalls Gold Cup win on Sunday, just one week after SELMIS' Premio Presidente della Repubblica score, means that both Lanwades Stud sires with Lanwades-conceived runners of classic age have produced Group 1 winners this year.
Between them HERNANDO and SELKIRK have sired 15 Group or Grade 1 winners, of which five are classic winners. HERNANDO’s four Group 1 winners two have won Derbies, one an Oaks, and the other placed in two Derbies. These, in conjunction with the recent Derby Italiano success of his grandson MASTERY (a first-crop son of SULAMANI) are clear evidence that NINISKI, through his sons and grandsons, is proving the saviour of theNIJINSKY sire line, particularly in terms of classic success.
The strike rate of sires standing at Lanwades Stud under its current ownership is outstanding, five of the six stallions who stand or have stood at Lanwades for more than two seasons - and who have sired runners of racing age - have produced classic winners, And three of these - NINISKI, HERNANDO and SELKIRK - have been champion sires in one category or another.
With this sort of record mare owners should pay particular attention to any new stallion joining the Lanwades ranks in 2010.
