Unbeaten Group 1 winner will stand at Normandy farm when he retires
A 50 per cent interest in the Jean-Claude Rouget-trained Ace Impact (Cracksman) has been secured by Haras de Beaumont.
The unbeaten colt, whose biggest victory to date came last start in the Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club (2500m), will stand at Haras de Beaumont when he retires from racing.
"I was extremely concerned that Ace Impact remained in France when it came to his stallion career. And it was equally important to me that I found a French partner. You should know that I've had an enormous number of offers from abroad," said Ace Impact's owner Serge Stempniak.
"That would have been a shame because I think the horse has a wonderful breeding future ahead of him in France. I am very happy to be partnering with the Chehboub family and we struck up a great relationship in a short space of time."
The Group 1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (2500m) is the main autumn target for Ace Impact.
