Star miler Charyn will shuttle to Cambridge Stud in New Zealand in partnership with Nurlan Bizakov's Sumbe, for the upcoming Southern Hemisphere season. Based at Haras de Montfort et Preaux in the Northern Hemisphere under the Sumbe banner, the son of Dark Angel's fee will be NZ$35,000. The 2024 World Champion Miler and Cartier Champion Older Horse's first foals arrived this year.“The acquisition of Charyn for the Cambridge Stud stallion roster is the beginning of another exciting chapter for the stud and a very important relationship with Nurlan Bizakov's Sumbe,” said Cambridge Stud's owner Sir Brendan Lindsay.“While Cambridge Stud is delighted to secure Charyn for stud duties in New Zealand, we are also looking forward to the relationship with Sumbe. As we have found with Haras d'Etreham and Juddmonte, the stallion is important, but a lasting relationship with the Bizakov family, Tony Fry and the Sumbe team is just as important.“His status as the highest-rated miler in the world of his year stamps him as an elite performer, and we are excited to show him to the New Zealand industry.”“I am delighted and honoured to confirm the agreement with Cambridge Stud to stand Charyn for the Southern Hemisphere breeding season, and I would like to warmly thank Sir Brendan Lindsay, Henry Plumptre and their entire team for their confidence in the stallion, as well as for their enthusiasm and support,” said Nurlan Bizakov.“It is a prestigious stud with a highly significant broodmare band, providing an outstanding platform to support a stallion of Charyn's calibre.“I am confident that Charyn will greatly appeal to Southern Hemisphere breeders, thanks to his physical presence and athleticism, which he consistently passes on to his foals. I am therefore pleased to announce the beginning of what I hope will be a prosperous and successful partnership for the future between Sumbe and Cambridge Stud.”“Charyn's three Group 1 victories, in elite events and against elite opposition, showcased his tactical speed and a great turn of foot,” Cambridge CEO Henry Plumptre added.“He distanced strong opposition in the Queen Anne and the Prix Jacques le Marois, but was tested in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes, responding with great courage to draw clear. That determination, combined with his natural speed, gained him a Timeform rating of 127.”Charyn is not the first shuttler to Cambridge Stud, which also stands Juddmonte's Classic winner Chaldean and Haras d'Etreham's Hello Youmzain. They will stand for NZ$35,000 (no change) and NZ$20,000 (NZ$30,000 in 2025), respectively. The latter was named the New Zealand Champion First-Season Sire in 2024/2025.Leading the roster is Sword of State at NZ$50,000. The sire of G3 Pago Pago Stakes hero Warwoven and listed winner Torture from his first crop, he stood for NZ$20,000 last term. Another first-crop runner, State of Valour, placed in the G1 Sistema Stakes. In the sale's ring, the son of the late Snitzel celebrated his first seven-figure yearling, when a half-brother to multiple Group 1 winner Ceolwulf sold for NZ$1.1 million at the NZB Yearling Sale in January.Former shuttle stallion Almanzor is priced at NZ$25,000, while Embellish's fee is NZ$5,000.“We are really pitching to the Australian broodmare base with the addition of Charyn this year,” said Plumptre.“In the eight years that we have managed Cambridge Stud for the Lindsays, we have managed to get Almanzor off the ground very strongly, and we have brought over Chaldean the last couple of years. We think this horse is a really exciting edition to the roster.”The post Charyn To Stand For NZ$35k At Cambridge Stud, As 2026 Roster Announced appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
