Son of New Bay will stand alongside his sire at Ballylinch Stud

Group 1 winner Bayside Boy (New Bay) has been retired from racing and will stand at Ballylinch Stud in 2023. A fee will be announced at a later date. 

Raced in a partnership by Teme Valley Racing and Ballylinch Stud, Bayside Boy raced ten time for four wins and three placings. A winner on debut in July last year, Bayside Boy won the Group 2 Champagne Stakes (7f) at Doncaster last September and placed third in both the Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes (7f) and Group 1 Trophy Stakes (1m). He raced five times at three this year, landing the Listed Fortune Stakes (1m) at Sandown in September before taking out the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (1m) at Ascot last month. 

"Bayside Boy was an exceptional yearling and he has given us some of our best days in racing," said Richard Ryan of Teme Valley. 

"He was a top-class two-year-old but it was his brilliant turn of foot that stole the show on Champions Day. Very few horses can accelerate like that in Group 1 races and his Queen Elizabeth II win was one of the most exciting performances I've seen."

John O'Connor of Ballylinch Stud is looking forward to the colt returning to his birthplace. 

"We are delighted to welcome Bayside Boy back to his birthplace in Ballylinch. He has all the attributes we look for in a stallion prospect, a top-class two-year-old and a Group 1-winning miler with an exceptional turn of foot.

"His sire New Bay is one of the very best stallion sons of Dubawi, and his stakes-winning and Group-producing dam is from a high-quality family.

"He was a gorgeous yearling and I'm sure that breeders will be very impressed with both his looks and his action."
