Ballylinch Stud, in partnership with Al Shaqab Racing, has acquired a majority stake in Prix du Jockey Club victor Look De Vega. The talented French Derby winner, sired by Ballylinch’s Lope De Vega, is currently under the care of trainers Carlos and Yann Lerner.
With an undefeated record of three wins, Look De Vega is the hot favourite for the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. Once his racing career comes to a close, he will stand at stud alongside his sire at Ballylinch.
Ballylinch’s managing director, John O’Connor, expressed excitement over the success of French Derby contenders, as well as the continuing partnership with Al Shaqab Racing. O’Connor also praised the work of trainers Carlos and Yann Lerner, and expressed gratitude to the previous owners and breeders who will remain involved in Look De Vega’s ownership.
Overall, the future looks promising for Look De Vega and his connections, with the potential for more success on the horizon.
