NEW BLOODLINES

Exciting French jumps stallion Jeu St Eloi joins the Glenview Stud roster for the 2024 covering season. The 12-year-old sire has been responsible for producing a number of eye-catching bumper, novice hurdle and PTP winners on both sides of the Channel.

His progeny began to make their mark in Ireland and the UK over the past 12 months, beginning with It’s For Me’s hugely impressive rules debut for Willie Mullins. The master of Closutton has since added two exciting 3YO fillies by Jeu St Eloi to his string- impressive hurdle debut winner Karia Des Blaises and Grade 3 winner and Listed-placed hurdler Kargese, who he hopes could be “a Triumph Hurdle horse.”

Paul Nicholls is another trainer keen on Jeu St Eloi’s progeny, having paid €175,000 for Krocodile Rock at the Goffs Arkle Sale. Nicholls is already responsible for Jeu St Eloi’s unbeaten Inthewaterside who he describes as “a very smart prospect for novice hurdles” and talented hurdler Blueking D’Oroux, who following his winning seasonal return at Cheltenham in October holds an entry in the Greatwood Hurdle.

Among Jeu St Eloi’s other runners to watch out for are Saint Kristobal, who produced a taking performance to win a 4YO maiden at Tattersalls, with Warren Ewing later describing the winner as “a little bit special” and Jasmin Bellevue, who sold to Highflyer Bloodstock and Nicky Henderson for £110,000 following his promising second at Dromahane for Denis Murphy.

The imposing 16.3hh Jeu St Eloi, is a half-brother to dual Grade 1 winning chaser Oculi and is from the immediate family of leading French sire Balko. He offers breeders a fantastic outcross, as well as a chance to access the exceptional sire line of champion French sire Saint des Saints and the hugely influential Cadoudal.
