The best stallion son of Camelot, who stands at Coolmore for a fee €60,000, Latrobe is a grandson of Montjeu who retired to stud in good health following an excellent racing career. Trained by Joseph O’Brien, he recorded 12 places at the highest level and three wins including the Gr.1 Irish Derby, beating Rostropovitch and Saxon Warrior.

Thanks also to his success in the Gr.1 Irish St Leger which has produced future top National Hunt sires such as Turgeon, Yeats, Kayf Tara and Jukebox Jury, Latrobe now stands alongside Goliath du Berlais and Masked Marvel, and his first mares have been scanned in foal. These include the Gr.2 third and Listed victrix at Auteuil, Oklahoma Seven and Singuna, a half-sister to Listed scorer Sarabia.

During his first covering season at the Haras de la Tuilerie, the handsome dark bay will be presented to the Listed winner Drole d’Histoire, Gr.3 third and three-time Listed scorer Kada Rique, Kalikova who is none other than the Irish Wells half-sister to Gr.1 Prix Ferdinand Dufaure heroine Kotkikova, La Vista, a half-sister to La Segnora, winner of the Gr.1 Grand Prix d’Automne, La Grande Zohra, half-sister to Gr.3 victrix and €200,000 earner Meredith, and also Enduring Bliss, a Manduro half-sister to the remarkable and versatile Gr.1 winner Kasbah Bliss and Bliss For Ever, winner yesterday over hurdles at Auteuil.
