Field Of Gold (Kingman), who proved himself Europe's leading three-year-miler of 2025 with consecutive Group 1 wins in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and St James's Palace Stakes, has been retired from racing and will stand at Juddmonte's Banstead Manor Stud in 2027.Trained by John and Thady Gosden, Field Of Gold was a dual winner as a two-year-old, notably when emulating his sire, Kingman, with victory in the G3 Solario Stakes at Sandown, before he returned the following year with a three-and-a-half-length success in the G3 Craven Stakes at Newmarket. A near miss in the 2,000 Guineas was then followed by the two standout performances of his career at the Curragh and Royal Ascot, with his victory in the St James's Palace, by three and a half lengths from Henri Matisse, confirming his standing as the leading miler of his generation.Though below his best in two subsequent starts in 2025, hopes had been high that Field Of Gold might be able to rediscover his best form after he kicked off his four-year-old campaign with a runner-up finish in the G2 bet365 Mile at Sandown. However, it has now been confirmed that he will not be ready to return to top-level racing in 2026, having suffered from a bacterial lung infection which forced him to miss the G1 Lockinge Stakes and G1 Queen Anne Stakes. He retires as the winner of five of his 11 starts and just shy of £1 million in career earnings.John Gosden said, “Field Of Gold combined speed, looks and class in bountiful measure. He possessed incredible acceleration and a superb action which he demonstrated in the St James's Palace Stakes. A very powerful and well-balanced colt with a great temperament.”Bred by Bobby and Honora Donworth of Roundhill Stud, Field Of Gold entered the Juddmonte fold after being purchased for €530,000 at the Goffs November Foal Sale. He is one of three winners from as many runners out of the winning Shamardal mare Princess de Lune, with the others including the Listed Rosemary Stakes heroine Zanbaq (Oasis Dream).Princess de Lune, in turn, is a full-sister to the dual Group 2 winner and multiple Group 1-placed sire Puissance De Lune, as well as the G2 Middleton Stakes scorer Queen Power. She is also a half-sister to the G1 Prix d'Ispahan hero Zabeel Prince, by Shamardal's son, Lope De Vega, and to Serena's Storm (Statue Of Liberty), the dam of the top-class fillies Rizeena (Iffraaj) and Summer Romance (Kingman). The third dam, Serena's Sister, is a full-sister to Rahy's multiple Grade I-winning matriarch and champion Serena's Song.A stud fee for Field Of Gold will be announced at a later date.The post Champion Miler Field Of Gold Retired from Racing, Joins Juddmonte Roster for 2027 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
