Jeu St Eloi’s first two seasons at Glenview Stud coincided with successive career-best seasons on the track for his progeny in terms of Winners and Black Type performers. This was reflected in the quality of mares sent to Jeu St Eloi, which included 105 Black Type Producers/ Black Type Performers/ Sisters of Gr.1 Winners.
