Haras de Bouquetot unveils its 2026 covering fees, with a roster that combines diversity and accessibility, drawn from the highly sought-after bloodlines of Wootton Bassett, Siyouni, Sea The Stars, Mehmas and No Nay Never.
Haras de Bouquetot continues its commitment to breeders by offering a selection of stallions tailored to market demands.
ZELZAL (Sea The Stars) is by far the leading sire of two-year-old winners in France this year (18, twice as many as the second-placed stallion). In the leading sires of two-year-olds by earnings, he is surpassed only by Wootton Bassett (Iffraaj). At the October Sales, 21 of his 22 yearlings offered were sold at an average of €40,000. His latest crop of two-year-olds includes three black type performers, among them Bandiagara, recently exported to the United States. ZELZAL will stand at €10,000 in 2026.
His 2025 season was disrupted due to health reasons, but ZELZAL is expected to fully recover and be in prime condition for his 2026 covering season.
The only son of No Nay Never standing in France, ARMOR brings speed and precocity. Despite a limited first crop, he already ranks among the most promising first-season sire in France. He is notably the sire of Canalejas, third in the Prix des Chênes (Gr.3). He will stand at €4,000.
A son of Siyouni out of a Galileo mare, held in high regard by his trainer Jean-Claude Rouget, AL HAKEEM enjoyed a highly successful first season at stud (over 110 mares), supported by a broad range of breeders. His first foals are eagerly anticipated in 2026. He will stand at €5,000.
A son of the proven Mehmas and a multiple Group winner at two, including the Gimcrack Stakes, LUSAIL has all the makings of a juvenile sire. His first foals are impressing with their excellent conformation and strength, while inheriting their sire's athletic movement. Fee: €4,000.
A son of Wootton Bassett, WOODED has already produced two Group 1 performers from his first crop, including WOODSHAUNA, winner of the Prix Jean Prat (Gr.1), and JAWWAL, placed in the Prix de l’Abbaye de Longchamp (Gr.1). With a promising second crop of three-year-olds to come in 2026, his fee will remain at €7,000.
