Bush Hill Stud have welcomed the first foals of King’s Chapel(AUS) this season and it seems there are exciting times ahead for this young sire, judging by the quality of his outstanding foals.

The best performed imported son of King Of Kings(IRE) continues to make waves overseas with winners by King’s Chapel in New Zealand, Australia and Singapore. From 1 August to 9 September 2012, he has already achieved a ratio of 17% runs to wins.

Warwick Render had this to say about King’s Chapel: “He is a magnificent-looking stallion with size, substance and quality, he is beautifully balanced and so far, all indications are this is what he throws in his foals. It’s no wonder he was so popular with so many respected breeders in his first season in South Africa last year, but even less wonder that these same breeders are booking more mares to him than they did last year. His first foals are everything we hoped they might be: strong, correct and with great quality.”
