Here at Ballylinch Stud we are continuing the long standing tradition of breeding top class thoroughbred racehorses that was started by Major Dermot McCalmont in 1914.
In 2012 Ballylinch Stud stands 5 Group 1 winning stallions, including for his first season the exciting Cartier Sprinter of the year for 2011 Dream Ahead, the dual classic winning son of Shamardal, Lope de Vega, Intense Focus the fastest ‘Dewhurst’ winner for 42 years, and Lawman Gr.1 sire of 5 Stakes horses with his first crop 2yos. Whipper will stand at Haras du Mezeray for 2012.
Brand New for 2012 is the multiple Group one winning son of Sadler's Well's "Beat Hollow" who himself has sired Group 1 winners on the flat and over hurdles.
