Triple group 1 winner Hotazhell will begin his stallion career at Haras d'Etreham at a fee of €15,000 next year, heading the French stud's seven-strong roster for 2027.

The son of Too Darn Hot becomes his sire's first son to stand in Europe, having established himself among the continent's leading performers at both 2 and 3.

A winner of the Tyros Stakes (G3) and Beresford Stakes (G2) at 2, Hotazhell completed his juvenile campaign with a victory over Delacroix in the Futurity Trophy (G1) at Doncaster.

He subsequently added two top-level victories over 10 furlongs in 2026, landing the Irish Champion Stakes (G1) and Grosser Dallmayr-Preis (G1).

Out of a Danehill Dancer mare from the family of Alexander Goldrun, Hotazhell offers breeders access to the increasingly influential Too Darn Hot branch of the Dubawi sire line.

Onesto has been trimmed to €10,000 from €12,500 following an encouraging reception for his first yearlings.

Of 37 offered, 31 sold for an average approaching €50,000, with a top price of €170,000. His first runners will hit the track next year.

Metropolitan, whose first yearlings will also be offered in 2027, has been reduced from €15,000 to €12,000, while Persian King remains unchanged at €15,000 following a productive season featuring classic winner Highwayman.

Hello Youmzain stays at €10,000, while City Light will stand at €8,000.

Beauvatier, whose first foals are due next year, has been reduced to €6,000 from €7,000.
