Bouttemont, a son of Acclamation, is preparing for his 3rd season @RathbarryStud

His first crop of foals have received very positive feedback with similarities drawn to their grand sire Acclamation’s progeny.

Always a pleasure stopping by @Capital_Stud to get a glimpse at their stallion roster.

Topgear, a son of Wootton Bassett, is their latest recruit for 2026.

This is a stop on the ITM Irish Stallion Trail not to be missed.

The first port of call on my ITM Irish Stallion Trail was to @KilbarryLdgStud to get a glimpse of Con O’Keeffe’s new German sire Dschingis Secret.

The only son of Soldier Hollow at stud in Ireland. His progeny Dschingis Dragon won a maiden hurdle at Gowran Park in October for @PimlicoRacing

Enjoyed chatting with Con & seen the stud’s other stallions Harzand, Success Days & Diamond Boy.
