“Acclamation’s record as a sire-of-sires is a statistical sensation.” – TDN July 2023
Acclamation’s stallion sons led by Dark Angel and Mehmas have already sired 27 individual Group 1 winners

First Foals 2025
Rathbarry Stud are very proud and excited to have added Bouttemont to our stallion roster in 2024 to stand alongside his father Acclamation.
Acclamation will always be a legend in these parts and he continues to make a substantial impact on the thoroughbred breed through his own progeny as well as the ever-growing
influence of his sons. Indeed, sons of Acclamation are now responsible for 27 individual Group 1 winners around the world, which prompted the Thoroughbred Daily News to opine that “Acclamation’s record as a sire-of-sires is a statistical sensation.”
Bouttemont received a stellar book of mares in his first season at stud which included proven dams responsible for the winners of Juvenile Stakes races Coventry Stakes, Dick Poole Stakes, Woodcote Stakes, etc.
Group 1 breeders that sent multiple mares to him include Aidan and Annemarie O’Brien (Whisperview Trading), John Bourke (Hyde Park Stud) and the Cantillon family (Tinnakill House Stud).
70% of Bouttemont’s 2024 mares are daughters or sisters of Stakes performers including the siblings of Group 1 Winners Elusive City, Finsceal Beo, Mad Cool, Teona, etc.
His first book was strongly represented by leading broodmare sires Dubawi, Exceed and Excel, Invincible Spirit, Kingman, Kodiac, Lawman, Oasis Dream, Teofilo. Bouttemont’s first book also included mares from the immediate families of Fine Motion, Invincible Spirit, Kodiac, Pilsudski, etc.
With Bouttemont having received such strong support in his first season, we are eagerly anticipating his first foals and welcoming his second crop of mares in 2025.
“With Bouttemont being the fastest-ever son of Acclamation to stand as a stallion and also his first son to retire to stud in Ireland since Mehmas in 2017, his attraction to us was obvious. Given that he bears such a striking resemblance to his sire both in physical and temperament terms, we felt he would make particular appeal to breeders that have enjoyed success with the Acclamation line and that has indeed proven to be the case“
