“KODI BEAR was a pleasure to train and showed a lot of class right from the beginning. He was an exceptional winner of the Sovereign Stakes and confirmed that form when winning the Celebration Mile at Goodwood in tremendous style. His temperament and appetite for racing was first class and I am sure he will pass on these qualities to his offspring”. Clive Cox, Trainer

“In some cases the difference in ability between Kodi Bear’s best representatives and their siblings is quite stark. All of which suggests that Kodi Bear could be that most priceless of commodities in the bloodstock industry: an upgrader of stock.”

Extracts from Martin Stevens Bloodstock Analysis

Kodi Bear’s latest juveniles were bred off the back of his impressive start at stud and he rewarded supporters with two Group winners.

His latest two-year-old crop is headlined by Group 2 Queen Mary Stakes winner Leovanni, a £190,000 breeze-up buy who also finished third in the Group 2 Lowther Stakes. She continues Kodi Bear’s reputation for upgrading his mares, as she is the fourth foal and only stakes performer out of her dam, herself a maiden on the track.

Group 3 scorer Cowardofthecounty backs that trend, as the fourth foal and sole blacktype horse produced by his unraced dam. Another juvenile of note is Jessica Harrington’s filly Kodilicious, a winner over 51/2 f who became the latest of Kodi Bear’s black-type performers when closing late home to finish second in the Listed Bosra Sham Stakes at Newmarket.

Callisto Dream a two-year-old of 2024 who was an emphatic winner on her sole start was bred by Aughamore Stud, who were also among the renowned breeders to support Kodi Bear in 2024. Others included Ballyphilip Stud, Corduff Stud, Croom House Stud, Kildaragh Stud, Lodge Park Stud, Mountarmstrong Stud and Tinnakill House to name just a few.

The 109-rated Room Service leads Kodi Bear’s three-year-olds on ratings, progressing from last year’s success in the Weatherbys £300,000 2YO Stakes to finishing second in the valuable Coral Sprint Trophy on his latest start.

Kodi Bear remains as popular with buyers as breeders with his yearlings selling for 170,000gns, 160,000gns, 130,000gns, €165,000, and €100,000, etc. in 2024. Kodi Bear’s success has increased his commercial appeal and he will be represented by 148 juveniles in 2025 giving us plenty to look forward to in the future.

Yearlings in 2024 sold for: 170,000 gns, 160,000 gns, 130,000 gns, €165,000, €100,000, €90,000, £90,000, etc.

ROOM SERVICE Winner of £300,000 2-Y-O Weatherbys Stakes Race
'GO BEARS GO, supplemented for this race following his cracking effort in the Norfolk Stakes, where he won his race on the far side, confirmed himself a top-notch sprinting prospect by putting away a field jam-packed full of quality. He's a hugely exciting colt. The strongest Railway Stakes there has been for some time both in terms of quality and quantity.'
Racing Post Analysis after Gr.2 Railway Stakes Win
'DIABLOTINE, Winner of the Prix du Début by more than 5 lengths ahead of Miramar (Profitable), which has since won, Diablotine was the logical favourite for the race. It was 200m from the finish that Mickaël Barzalona's partner Diaboltine easily took the measure of her opponents to pass the post two and a half lengths in front.'
Jour De Galop Analysis after LR Prix Des Reves d'Or Win
‘What a tough horse. I’ve been quite hard on Ever Given and he’s improved with every run. He won at Goodwood and we sent him to Ireland three days later and ran a blinder there. He’s come here 17 days later and he’s really toughed it out.’
EVER GIVEN's Trainer Tom Dascombe after winning the Goffs UK Premier Yearling Stakes

‘Space Cowboy is going to be a very nice 3-Y-O, he’s very smart and we’ll probably look at the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot and work back from there. We’ve always held him in very regard.’
